Prepare Your Home for the Next Big Wind Storm

Whether you live in a hurricane alley or anywhere else in the country, wind can cause extensive damage to your home. Roofs can be damaged, trees can fall and if your garage door is not secure, your whole home could be in danger. Wind storms seem to be more prevalent in recent years, making it necessary to prepare your home against possible damage.

Garage Doors and Windstorms

Garage doors can be the biggest risk to your home in a wind storm. If you have an attached garage, wind can destroy your garage door and access your home. Once the garage door is compromised, your entire home is unprotected against the storm. High winds can remove your roof from the inside and cause extensive damage to every wall in your home, as well as your possessions.

The best protection against wind damage to your home is securing your garage door entrance. Wind resistant doors that can withstand 100 MPH or high winds give you the security you need in a major storm. In many areas of the country, high wind resistance for garage doors is now required in new homes. However, if you have an older home with an attached garage, these requirements may not have been met when installing your existing garage doors.

Don’t put your entire home at risk for damage due to poor quality garage doors. Call your local garage door service company to inquire about high wind resistant garage doors. This is a small investment that can protect your home and family during a major wind storm. You never know when the next big storm will hit your region, so don’t delay.
