Building Hurricane-Resistant Homes in SW Florida
Living in the tropics we are no stranger to the impact of hurricanes, with storms like Ian leaving a lasting mark on the region. If you are considering building or renovating in SW Florida, be sure to look for a builder who has decades of experience constructing strong, resilient new homes in this area.
For over 40 years, hundreds of homeowners have counted on our team to build their dream home to withstand Florida’s harshest weather conditions, especially hurricane-force winds and rain.
Building on a Strong Foundation
Our core philosophy, “Build your dream on a strong foundation,” goes beyond just the physical foundation of the home. It’s about using the most advanced building techniques, materials, and design strategies to protect your home from hurricane-force winds and flooding.
High-Quality Materials
One of the most important aspects of constructing a hurricane-resistant home is choosing the right materials. That’s why we use impact-resistant windows and doors designed to withstand extreme wind pressures and flying debris.
Additionally, we utilize concrete block construction which is known for its durability, strength, and resistance to storm damage. This results in a solid structure that is safer during a storm and more energy-efficient in the long run.
Elevated Designs to Combat Flooding
To avoid flooding, we design homes that are elevated and equipped with proper drainage systems to minimize water damage. We will ensure your home exceeds flood zone requirements, offering an extra layer of protection against storm surges.
Roofs That Last
The roof is often one of the most vulnerable parts of a home during a hurricane. We partner with the best contractors like Saint Raphael Roofing, who is known for providing top-tier, hurricane-resistant roofing systems.
Their materials and installation techniques ensure your home is protected from wind damage.
To minimize wind damage, reinforced roof-to-wall connections and hurricane straps are installed to keep the roof securely in place.
Strategic Design for Wind Resistance
Wind is a major threat during hurricanes, and we take this seriously by incorporating aerodynamic designs that help reduce wind pressure on the structure. These design choices, such as hip roofs and streamlined shapes, reduce uplift forces and wind damage, keeping you safe and secure.
Innovation and Technology for Peace of Mind
We use the latest innovations in building techniques to ensure every home we construct is as hurricane resistant as possible.
From advanced weather proofing systems to the best techniques in securing your home’s structure, we go beyond traditional building practices.
