Hail in Polk County

NOAA storm records for Polk County list 12 hail reports (the largest 2 inches across), 12 thunderstorm wind reports and 5 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

Long humid summers are hard on sealants and door hardware. Closer to the coast, salt air also corrodes closer arms, rollers and thresholds faster.

Homes and buildings in Lake Wales

Lake Wales has a mix of old and newer buildings: about 38% of homes were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1992. Double-pane windows from the 1980s and 1990s are now at the age when seals fail and the glass fogs up. More homes here went up in the 2000s than in any other period. That makes its housing newer than about 81% of Florida towns its size.

Housing is a mix, with about 66% single-family houses and 14% in apartment buildings. About 61% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
