Category 5 Division

When the Gulf turns, we're alreadystaged for landfall.

The Cat 5 Division is a dedicated retainer and dispatch program for commercial property managers and national brands operating across hurricane-exposed Florida. Pre-storm mitigation, active-storm posture, and post-landfall restore — under one accountable contract.

Three-phase coverage

One retainer. The full storm cycle.

Pre-storm

Mitigation Retainer

Annual MRR contract for property managers and national brands. We audit every sign on your portfolio against current FBC wind-load attachment standards, document baseline condition, and pre-position crews when a named storm enters the Gulf.

  • Annual wind-load audit per location
  • Photo + drawing baseline filed
  • 72-hour pre-landfall secure / remove sweep
  • Priority dispatch SLA when the cone hits
Landfall

Active Storm Posture

Crews stage outside the projected impact zone with fuel, generators, and replacement hardware. The moment NOAA issues all-clear and the AHJ allows reentry, we're rolling.

  • On-site within 48 hrs of all-clear
  • Tarp / re-secure / remove triage
  • Hazard-flagged signs documented for adjusters
  • Coordination with property mgmt and insurance
Post-storm

Restore & Document

Full re-set, fabrication-of-replacement, and final closeout. You leave the storm cycle with branded signage back up and a documentation package your insurance carrier and corporate brand team can sign off on.

  • Engineered re-anchoring to current FBC spec
  • Replacement faces and cabinets fabricated in-house
  • Adjuster-ready loss documentation
  • Final lighting commissioning and closeout photos

Why a retainer beats a phone call

The crews everyone scrambles for after landfall are the ones already on contract.

Florida's named-storm window is six months long. When a Cat 3+ tracks toward the Gulf, every property manager in the state fights for the same handful of bucket trucks. A pre-storm retainer locks your portfolio into our dispatch queue and turns a panicked phone tree into a documented playbook.

  • Locked SLA — your sites get hit before walk-ins
  • Pre-priced storm work — no day-of price gouging
  • Adjuster-ready documentation reduces claim cycle time
  • Single-vendor accountability across the full storm cycle

Three tiers. One number when the cone hits.

Pricing is per site, per month, on a 12-month commercial commitment. Storm-event work is billed against an annual cap at locked rates — no surge pricing, ever. Mix tiers across sites in one Master Agreement.
