Topsider Hurricane Homes

Hurricane & Storm Resistant
Homes Built to Last Since 1968

Topsider Homes have endured some of the most destructive hurricanes to strike Florida, the Gulf Coast, the Bahamas, and the Virgin Islands — including direct hits from hurricanes Dorian, Hugo, Ian, Andrew, Katrina, and more recently Milton and Helene. Every Topsider Home is individually designed and engineered to resist hurricanes and withstand extreme winds — built to meet or surpass building codes in all hurricane-prone and coastal zones. Topsider's decades-long track record of storm safety and survival is second to none.

"After my home was destroyed by a hurricane, I said I would never build another home at the beach front unless it was hurricane proof. A friend told me about Topsider Homes, and after doing the research I decided it was the perfect fit. My Topsider has been through numerous major storms and hurricanes and each time has come through in one piece."

- Joe K., Florida, Topsider Homeowner See Right

Pedestal, Stilt & Piling Houses Naturally Resistant to High Winds and Storm Surge

Topsider Homes' storm and hurricane-resistant features are the result of a unique blend of modern engineering and our state-of-the-art prefab panelized building technology, combined with a time-proven post & beam building system.

"While the destruction on the island [Green Turtle Cay] was devastating to most of the home owners [after Hurricane Dorian], the four [Topsider] houses came through basically unscathed… bottom line, after more than 55 years and countless hurricanes the [Topsiders] are still standing strong. This is a testament to the quality of the home you build. We will always be a believer in the Topsider design and quality."

- Paul and Karen H., Abaco, Bahamas See Right

 

 

 

This combination creates houses that are structural battleships, resistant to tropical storms, hurricane force winds and storm surge. And because our pedestal, stilt and piling homes for beach front and coastal areas are elevated and often multi-sided in design, storm and hurricane winds flow around, over and under them with far less damage-causing wind resistance than with conventional houses.

Topsider's in-house design staff and consulting engineers have been designing and specifying beach front and coastal area homes for decades, and are knowledgeable of ever-changing building code requirements from Florida to Hawaii. We are highly experienced working with local building officials and various agencies, including coastal commissions, FEMA, the US Army Corp of Engineers, the Coastal Zone Management Act authorities, and various state and local agencies, such as Florida's Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and North Carolina's Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) authorities.

Proper specifications are the key to building a beach front or coastal home that is potentially storm proof and hurricane proof.
