Many people have no idea that their home is at
risk because of a faulty designed or poorly
installed garage door. Hundreds of homes are
destroyed each year by extreme weather
events including hurricanes, tornados and
strong straight line winds.  The single most
common cause is the loss of structural integrity
when the garage door fails allowing winds to
enter the structure.  Once strong winds enter
through the garage door opening it is just a
very short time before the home loses its roof.  
Once a structure loses its roof it will be quickly
destroyed.
While watching the Weather Channel one
evening Weatherman Jim Cantori was standing
in front of a home whose garage door had
failed. He correctly stated that when you lose
your garage door your roof is next and the
home is doomed to be destroyed. After
Hurricane Charlie struck Port Charlotte Florida
it was very apparent that homes with
conventional garage doors lost their roofs and
were destroyed as a result of a weak or non
hurricane code door.
In many cases home building contractors will
install the cheapest  door that the local building
codes will allow. In terms of garage doors
pricing this is penny wise and pound foolish.  
In Florida where everyone is focused on
hurricane preparedness current building codes
require garage doors that can withstand wind
loads up to 140 mph. This makes sense not
only in terms of protecting your home from
hurricanes but also from tornados as well.
In terms garage doors pricing buying a cheap
garage door not only threatens the security of
your home but of your family as well. In many
cases if your are unable to evacuate your home
before a storms makes land fall or in the case of
a tornado strikes without warning you will most
likely weather the storm in your home. Many
people will spend a good deal of money
purchasing hurricane shutters but not even
consider installing a high wind door. This can
have deadly consequences to you and your
family.
Purchasing and installing a quality high wind
door is a great investment in your home and
your family. In addition purchasing a door with
an automatic door opener that will operate
when the power is lost is another great
investment.  If you check out the garage doors
pricing for quality high wind doors at home
improvement stores like Home Depot and
Lowes you will find that you can afford to
retrofit your home with a strong high wind code
door. Don’t wait until you hear the roof coming
off of you home during a storm before realizing
you should have secured your home with a
proper garage door.
