We restore storm damage 24/7 in San Diego!

Our local San Diego City, South West team is a leader in storm damage restoration services in San Diego County. In recent years, new advancements in wind-resistant building materials have increased the ability of residential structures to withstand high-wind events. Impact-resistant windows and doors are notable innovations. These products are designed with multiple layers of glass and a durable interlayer that prevents shattering, protecting homes from flying debris and pressure changes caused by strong winds.

Another advancement is the use of reinforced roofing materials. Modern roofing systems often incorporate high-performance shingles, metal panels, or tiles specifically engineered to resist uplift forces. Additionally, roofing fasteners and adhesives have been improved to provide a stronger bond, ensuring that the roof remains intact during severe windstorms.

Engineered wood products, such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and cross-laminated timber (CLT), are also gaining popularity. These materials offer superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional wood, making them more resistant to wind-induced stresses. Also, advancements in structural connectors have improved the overall resilience of buildings by securely anchoring roofs and walls to the foundation.

Finally, wind-resistant design principles, such as aerodynamic building shapes and the strategic placement of openings, help reduce wind pressure on structures.
