Ride Sally, Ride!

As hurricane Sally ravages the Gulf Coast at paralizingly low speeds you may or may not be singing Al Greene’s Ride Sally, Ride. But you are undoubtably wondering what you can do to protect your home from storm damage during this hurricane season. As licensed General Contractors, we stay abreast of the latest security features to help protect you and your home from natural disasters.

Did you know that every MINCHEW home is built to withstand 140 MPH winds? We install hurricane straps in each of our foundations to secure your home, protect against storm damage, and give you peace of mind, even during catastrophic storms!

A hurricane strap is a connector that is used to strengthen wood framed roofs and homes. The most popular hurricane straps are made of galvanised steel or stainless steel and they are designed to protect structures from the ravages of adverse weather events such as tropical storms - something we must be prepared for as residents of the Gulf Coast. Properties that lie in any tropical weather area, should be equipped with them. Other names for hurricane straps are hurricane ties, hurricane brackets, hurricane anchors and hurricane clips and hurricane strips.

If you want to know more about our security measures or how to build a hurricane protected home with MINCHEW, contact us at 404-936-5202 or 404-936-2080.

Stay safe and dry!
