Family-Owned Roofing and Windows Built to Face Any Category Storm

Shutters have to be put up before every storm and taken down afterwards, while impact windows and doors protect your openings all year without any setup. Impact glass is built with a laminated layer that holds together when debris strikes it, helping keep wind and rain out of the house. CAT5 HomeImprovements installs hurricane impact windows and doors strictly to code.

Standing seam metal, concrete and clay tile, and impact-rated shingles can all perform well in high winds when they are installed correctly for the local wind loads. The right choice depends on your home's structure, the look you want and how long you plan to stay. We build metal, tile, shingle and flat roofs, so we can walk you through the trade-offs of each one.

Once it is safe, photograph the damage and get any openings covered as soon as possible, because even a small gap can let water into the attic and ceilings. A proper tarp limits further damage until permanent repairs can be made. CAT5 HomeImprovements offers emergency tarping and comprehensive damage assessments so you know exactly what needs fixing.

High heat, strong sun and heavy tropical rain wear roofs out faster than in milder climates. As a general rule, tile and metal roofs tend to outlast shingle roofs, but installation quality and upkeep matter just as much as the material. If your roof is showing its age, an inspection will tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Florida's building code sets strict wind-resistance standards, and Miami-Dade and Broward counties fall within the state's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where the rules are tougher still. Work that falls short can fail in a storm and cause problems at inspection or when you sell your home. With 40 years of experience, we build every roof and impact window installation strictly to code for homeowners across Miami-Dade County, Broward County and West Palm Beach.
