Miami Hurricane Home Services Overview

Miami and South Florida face unique challenges from hurricane season. With winds exceeding 150 mph, homeowners need specialized solutions.

The devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992 transformed Florida's building codes. Miami-Dade now enforces the most stringent wind-resistant codes.

Miami-Dade Building Codes

Miami-Dade is classified as a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, requiring buildings to withstand 175+ mph winds.

Impact-Resistant Windows: Laminated glass maintains the building envelope even when cracked.

Roofing Systems: Sealed roof decks prevent water intrusion if primary roofing is damaged.

Structural Connections: Hurricane straps create continuous load paths.

Wind Mitigation Inspections can qualify for 20-45% insurance discounts.
