When designing and building a luxury home, every detail matters—especially when it comes to protecting your investment from nature’s unpredictability. In today’s world, weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. Storms, hurricanes, and high winds have the potential to wreak havoc on homes that aren’t built with the right materials and techniques. That’s where May Residential comes in. Our custom luxury homes not only stand out for their elegance and craftsmanship but also for their strength and durability, built to weather even the toughest storms.

Premium Materials for Maximum Protection

The foundation of any well-built home lies in the quality of its materials. May Residential uses only the highest-quality, storm-resistant materials to ensure that your home is prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Reinforced Steel Framework
Steel framing offers superior strength compared to traditional wood framing. It is less likely to warp, bend, or be damaged by extreme weather, making it the backbone of any storm-ready home.
Impact-Resistant Windows
Glass is often the weakest point in a home during a storm. However, our homes come equipped with impact-resistant windows, which can withstand winds of over 150 miles per hour. These windows are designed not to shatter, protecting both your home’s interior and its occupants.
Wind-Resistant Roofing Systems
At May Residential, we ensure that the roofs we install are highly resistant to both wind and rain. Our roofs are constructed using advanced, weather-resistant materials that are designed to stay intact even during hurricanes, offering added protection to your home’s structure and inhabitants.
Weather-Resistant Siding
We use durable, high-performance siding materials such as fiber cement and composite cladding that can withstand flying debris and heavy rains. Unlike traditional wood siding, these materials don’t crack, warp, or rot when exposed to moisture, reducing the need for frequent repairs.

Advanced Construction Techniques for Storm Safety

In addition to using premium materials, May Residential employs modern construction techniques to ensure that each home we build can withstand extreme weather conditions.

Hurricane Straps and Clips
These metal connectors tie the roof structure to the walls and foundation of your home, reinforcing it against high winds and helping to prevent the roof from being lifted off during a storm. This small but crucial addition significantly boosts your home’s wind resistance.
Elevated Foundations
For homes built in flood-prone areas, May Residential elevates the foundation to protect the property from rising water. We customize this elevation based on the specific floodplain data for your lot, ensuring your home is safe from water damage.
Proper Drainage Systems
A well-planned drainage system helps manage water runoff during heavy rains, preventing flooding and water damage. At May Residential, we install advanced drainage systems around the foundation and landscape to keep water away from your home, reducing the risk of erosion and foundation problems.
Reinforced Doors and Garage Doors
Weak doors, especially garage doors, can be a major vulnerability during a storm. May Residential uses reinforced entry doors and wind-rated garage doors to keep your home sealed and protected from high winds and flying debris.

Designed for Resilience Without Sacrificing Luxury

While safety is our top priority, we understand that luxury and aesthetics matter, too. That’s why we carefully design our storm-resistant homes to be both resilient and beautiful. You don’t have to compromise style for safety. From elegant architectural details to modern, energy-efficient materials, our homes are built with a focus on both form and function.

For example, impact-resistant windows can be designed with your preferred trim and finish, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the home’s overall look. Similarly, our roofing materials come in a variety of styles and colors to match your taste while providing top-tier protection.

Peace of Mind for You and Your Family

At May Residential, we understand the importance of providing peace of mind for homeowners. Severe weather is stressful enough without worrying about whether your home can withstand the elements. With our storm-resistant materials and construction techniques, you can rest easy knowing your home is safe.

In addition to being built to last, our homes are energy-efficient and designed to reduce maintenance costs over time. When you choose May Residential, you’re not just investing in luxury; you’re investing in lasting safety, durability, and peace of mind for your family.
