Hurricane Resistant Modular Homes

When living in a hurricane prone area, it is necessary to make sure your home is designed to withstand heavy winds and rain. A prefabricated or hurricane resistant modular home is a durable solution for residents in these areas. A modular home is designed from the ground up to withstand storms, so you do not have to worry about possible damage.

Modular homes are primarily constructed off site from the very best materials. Factory construction allows modular homes to be constructed much faster than traditional construction because materials are protected from outdoor elements, ensuring quality and eliminating delays from poor weather conditions. As homes are being built, site work occurs simultaneously to install foundation, utilities and initial site grading. The home is then transported to the job site and installed before applying final finishes and connecting utilities.

This concurrent schedules results in a shorter construction timeline and earlier occupancy. The high quality materials and finishes used in the factory allow the modular home to withstand heavy wind loads.

Areas where homes have been affected by hurricanes can benefit from modular construction as well. When a devastating disaster displaces individuals and families, it can create an urgent need for permanent or temporary housing. Modular construction can provide homes to hurricane victims significantly faster than traditional construction methods and help victims quickly recover.
