Building a Hurricane-Resistant Home: Everything You Need to Know

Protecting What Matters Most – Your Family and Investment

Every year, Florida faces the threat of devastating hurricanes. Yet, most homes still aren't built to withstand them. As climate conditions change, building for resilience isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

At TurnKey, we’ve been building storm-resistant structures for over 30 years using the latest in ICF construction, wind-rated materials, and design strategies that keep families safe.

Top Features of a Hurricane-Resistant Home:

• ICF Walls: Our go-to solution. Stronger than wood, quieter than concrete block, and engineered to withstand Category 5 storms.
• Impact-Rated Windows & Doors: Flying debris is no match for these systems.
• Elevated Foundations: For coastal zones, we design to resist both wind and storm surge.
• Aerodynamic Rooflines & Reinforced Framing: Prevent roof uplift and structural failure.

Smart Design is Key

Many homeowners think resistance is about one material — but it’s about how the whole system works together. Our designs are code-compliant, tested, and refined by real-world performance in Florida’s toughest storms.

Bottom Line:

If you’re building in Florida, don’t settle for “code minimum.” Let’s build something that lasts — and protects.
