Weather experts predict the 2024 storm season could be a bad one.
Warmer-than-average sea water temperatures have weather experts concerned about the number and size of major storms that could form between now and November 1. With this mind, Lowcountry homeowners should prepare for an active season. The B. Chaney Improvements staff members think this is the perfect time to address those lingering needed home repairs that could allow water inside. It’s also a great time to consider those replacement windows.
