Step 1 — Schedule your free hurricane home assessment. Call us or fill out the form online. We'll get back to you within one business day to schedule a visit. We serve all of Oahu — Honolulu, Kailua, Hawaii Kai, Pearl City, Mililani, Aiea, Kaneohe, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Manoa, Waipahu, Waianae, the North Shore, and everywhere in between. |

Step 2 — We assess your home. An HHR hurricane specialist visits for about 15–20 minutes — walks the exterior, checks the attic where accessible, reviews how the home is built (single-wall, double-wall, post-and-pier, slab), and identifies what hurricane connectors are already in place and which ones are missing. We explain what we find in plain language. No charge, no pressure, no sales pitch. |
|
Step 3 — You receive a written proposal from Kore Construction. Within a few days of the assessment, Kore Construction prepares a written hurricane retrofit proposal — scope of work, Simpson Strong-Tie connector types and quantities, timeline, and price — based on what the assessment identified. Typical payment terms are 50% deposit at signing and 50% upon completion. |

|
Step 4 — Kore Construction installs your hurricane clips. Most Oahu single-family hurricane retrofits take one to two days. Kore's licensed crews handle everything: installation of all engineered connectors, any minor structural repairs the assessment identified (such as reinforcing or sistering a rafter), and full cleanup. You typically don't need to move out, and there's no visible change to your home's appearance. |
|
Step 5 — You receive your insurance documentation package. When the work is complete, you get a documentation package suitable for your hurricane insurance carrier: scope of work performed, connector types and locations installed, photographs of the completed installation, and Kore's licensed contractor certification. Forward it to your insurer to apply for your wind mitigation premium discount, usually applied at your next renewal. |
