BUILDING HURRICANE- RESILIENT HOMES

When it comes to surviving a hurricane, your first line of defense is your home. In the Caribbean, we’ve seen it all—from gale-force winds to devastating floods. So, the question is: Is your house built to withstand it?

At Rayneau, we don’t just build homes—we build safe zones. As this hurricane season gears up to be one of the most active in years, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at the structural integrity of your house or the one you’re planning to build.

🔨 Key Features of a Hurricane-Resilient Home

Here’s what to consider when reinforhcing your existing home—or building a new one:

1. A Strong Foundation

Start with solid concrete footings and steel-reinforced columns. Rayneau Construction follows engineered designs that meet and exceed hurricane standards.

2. Wind-Resistant Roofing

Your roof is your most vulnerable point. Choose hip roofs with a pitch of 30° or less, metal roofing sheets, hurricane straps, and fasteners designed to withstand Category 4 or 5 winds.

3. Impact-Resistant Windows & Doors

Glass windows should be fitted with hurricane shutters or made from laminated glass. Doors should swing outward and be secured with three hinges and deadbolt locks.

4. Proper Drainage Systems

Prevent water buildup and flooding by ensuring your property has proper sloping, gutters, and French drains.

5. Safe Rooms

Consider a reinforced room or basement where your family can stay protected during a storm.
