2019 Atlantic hurricane season is June 1, 2019- November 30, 2019.

Let’s face it, we live in South Florida, weather is the driving factor for why humanity seeks shelter. When it’s beautiful outdoors, we are there to enjoy it. But when Mother Nature packs a punch, we all seek the protection under a durable roof of a well constructed abode.

Seaside property, aka coastal living, has long been coveted for its fantastic views and access to beaches. Yet, the glaring disadvantage comes from hurricanes or tropical storms that make landfall.

In the continental U.S., Florida tops the list of states with its 1350 miles of ocean-side coastlines. East, West and Southern borders are all exposed to the Atlantic sea. A great treasure when the sea is relatively calm. While sticking out like a sore thumb during hurricane season.

As a result of past hurricanes Building codes throughout Florida have undergone significant changes, particularly to High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZs), namely Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. To top it all off, inspections before, during and after roof construction are deemed prudent and necessary.

Protect your home and family by consulting with a licensed, bonded, and insured roofing contractor.

Whether it's an intense thunderstorm or a full-blown hurricane, storms can do a number on your home, especially in the summertime when temperatures are at their hottest. When air and water temperatures rise, storms tend to drop more precipitation and hang around longer.

South Florida has already begun witnessing the rainy season. In order to be fully prepared for your roof to receive all the upcoming rain, one should take precautionary actions and follow these tips:

• Clean your gutters and downspouts
• Check your roof for any missing, cracked, or loose shingles/tiles
• Clean the valley for leaves
• Trim trees
• Do maintenance on your flat roof
• Repair any small leaks

We will keep you posted with weather updates and tips throughout the season.

Casa del Acantilado (Cliff House) in Salobrena, Spain

This architechitural wonder takes advantage of the breathtaking views of the plot that sits on the cliff at a 42 degrees angle. Casa del Acantilado's double-curved concrete shell roof are filled with insulation to help conserve energy. The zinc tiles that adorn the roof not only give the house its scaled dragon-like appearance, but also reflect the sun's rays, keeping the interior cool and comfortable even during the hot summer months.

To take advantage of the fact that the house is partially buried in the hill, the architects designed a natural air conditioner - A forty centimeter air cavity between the walls of the house and its interior. When the temperature inside exceeds 67.1°F (19.5° C), a ventilating system releases the cold air trapped inside the cavity into the house and helps cool it down naturally. Thanks to all these smart 'green' features, Casa del Acantilado does not have or need an electric cooling or heating system.
