By now you’ve likely already experienced the first spring storm, wind, heavy rains, lightning and even hail. While it’s still early in the storm season, there’s still plenty of time to protect your valuables, automobiles and yard equipment from upcoming inclement weather this season and for many years to come.

Protecting Your Investments at Home

A quality built shed not only helps you store your items and organize your home, but it also ensures that they are safe and secure from all of the outdoor elements. Whether it’s your lawn mowers, kid’s bikes, yard tools, or seasonal décor, the right storage building can help them last longer by staying out of the blazing sun, heavy rains, harsh winds, ice, snow, and hail. The sheds at Hometown Sheds are built better than the big box stores. They are created in our own local factory with quality products and attention to every detail. Like steel framed doors, preventing sagging and warping over time. The window wrap on all of our buildings is installed on the outside to help seal out moisture and then an extra seal is added inside to help block out any heavy rain.

Most other companies use 2×4 floor joists but at Hometown you’ll find 2×6 pressure treated joists along all your floors. We also back our products with a 10-year limited warranty, something you’ll rarely find at the big box stores. When it comes to keeping your valuables safe during the freezing winters, hot and humid summers, breezy fall winds, and spring storms, quality matters. By storing your investments away in a custom built shed, you not only extend the life of your items, but you’ll also rest easy knowing that no matter what weather comes your way, you are covered.

Preventing Hail & Weather Damage to Your Automobiles

According to the Insurance Information Institute, over 898,000 personal hail loss claims were reported in a short three-year period in the United States. Hail can not only dent your car, but cause rust and extensive body damage over time. A steel carport or garage can protect your automobiles and outdoor equipment from dangerous storms, hail, falling debris and the blazing sun. They feature 29-gauge steel and can be certified up to 140-mph wind and 35-psf snow loads. That means even in winds and heavy snow, they will stand up to protect your assets. All of our steel structures include incredible warranties found here on workmanship, rust, paint and more!

Spring and summer storms are just getting started but the good news is that there’s still plenty of time to protect your valuables! Contact Hometown Sheds today or shop online to see your options. We’ll even help with financing including rent to own with NO credit check and set up delivery right to your home. Hometown Sheds is built better, easy to own and made to last!
