Elevated Homes
Flood zone regulations meeting FEMA's elevated home standards with three 1st floor options: 1. Enclosed garage. 2. Stilt home supported by post. 3. Hybrid featuring an enclosed garage front section and open rear for enhanced outdoor living.
Exterior Walls
Our CMU block concrete walls are engineered to withstand winds of 190 mph. Additionally, we provide two alternative options tailored to fit various budget and design needs: Metal-reinforced strapping on wooden studs or the most advanced choice is Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).
Windows & Doors
When handling high winds the weakest part of a homes exterior wall is the windows & doors. While competitors may provide shutters for protection, Gast Homes utilizes true 3rd party wind tested products specifically engineered to withstand high winds without the need for alterations.
Roof Systems
To meet stringent wind requirements, we engineer trusses capable of withstanding uplift pressures. We secure metal strap connectors from the ends of the trusses to the top of the wall and ensure that the roof sheathing is nailed at intervals of no more than 6 inches on each truss or closer.
