What happens to a steel-framed Momo home during a hurricane? Nothing. 

Thinking about building your dream home in an area prone to hurricanes? 

Think Momo.

Momo homes are engineered to the “high velocity hurricane zone” designation of the Florida Building Code — the nation’s most stringent wind-resistance standards. 

Those standards, also known as the Miami-Dade standards, mean that buildings can withstand gusts of up to 185 mph. For context, that’s a category 5 hurricane. In fact, since a storm reaches category 5 when wind speeds hit 157 mph, it’s an extremely powerful category 5 storm. 

The National Hurricane Center describes what kind of damage you can expect in a cat 5 storm: 

A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

That’s the kind of event a Momo home is designed for. 

And every Momo comes solar-ready. So, if you opt for one of our solar packages, not only will you have shelter from the storm, you’ll be able to keep the lights on.
