HOME HARDENING & ENERGY PROGRAMS IN TARPON SPRINGS
Tarpon Springs homeowners can access up to $88,000 in combined government funding for hurricane protection, HVAC, and home improvements.
Tarpon Springs sits at the northern tip of Pinellas County along the Gulf Coast, making it particularly vulnerable to hurricane wind and storm surge. The city's mix of historic sponge district homes and newer developments means many properties need wind mitigation upgrades. Government programs make these improvements affordable — and Elite Craft Pro Services handles everything from application to installation for Tarpon Springs homeowners.
