Are Modular Homes
Hurricane-Proof?
We all know that no home is truly "hurricane-proof," but modular homes do tend to withstand hurricanes very well. Regarding hurricanes, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has reported that modular homes "...performed much better than conventional residential framing." FEMA has praised modular homes for their "inherently rigid systems" time and time again, and although modular homes aren't technically "hurricane-proof," we know that they are certainly safer than site-built homes.
 
The images above are of homes built by Affinity that went through Hurricane Irma in 2017. One of them was built 9 years ago. Although suffering a few shingles blown off, lightly damaged siding, and missing porch fan blades, the home is perfectly fine! Unfortunately, some nearby homes did not fare so well in the storm.

The Kingsland
Low Country home plans get their name from the coastal region of South Carolina and Georgia, which is commonly referred to as “The Low Country.” This region often presents a unique set of architectural challenges, including high water tables, high humidity and sometimes severe wet weather. The Kingsland design features a broad hipped roof over the expansive wrap around porch. The design include 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a large open living area that opens onto the porch. The plan includes a walkout bay window in the dining area. All the bedrooms are privately located in the back of the house, with a guest bath at the end of the hall. This design will fit any environment, from the farm to the lake.
