- DrywallsOn new construction they are installed at the roof to wall junction at the top of your inside walls behind the drywall. On existing construction, called retrofitting, they area installed on the outside at the top of your walls where the roof rafters exist the attic. They are unobtrusive looking, usually only 3 inches tall and 1 inch wide.
- FramingHouses and townhouses built before 1988 are almost certain NOT to have them, as they were not required at that time. This includes single wall houses, double wall houses (with wall framing and drywall inside), and CMU hollow tile block masonry houses with wood roofs. Houses built between 1988 and 1993 have about a 50 to 70 percent chance of having them, and houses built in 1994 and after were required by Hawaii building code to have them.

- New ConstructionHurricane clips are steel connectors that have been designed, tested, and mandated by all building codes for new construction to connect your roof structure to your wall structure. When the tropical storm or hurricane winds hit your walls they are forced upwards to the over hang of your roof. Hurricane clips have passed rigid international lab testing and they are shown to quadruple (4x) the hold downforce at the junction of the roof and wall. In equivalent terms, just the basic hurricane clip installation is like parking 8 to 12 full size SUV's around the periphery of your roof as a hold down.
- Window Installation/Replacement
- Garage Door Repair/ReplacementGarage doors are very much a risk because they act essentially like a large wing. Garage doors, even in new houses, are not mandated to resist any hurricanes unless you've specified the additional cost from the house builder or from your garage door vendor.
