March Winds & Roof Readiness: Why a Strong Roof Matters on Delmarva

March is known for its unpredictable, gusty winds, and across Delmarva, homeowners know just how intense they can get. Whether you’re near the beach, the bay, the rivers, or inland farmland, strong winds are a reality—and your home’s first line of defense is a properly built, well-secured roof.

At Beracah Homes, we take roofing seriously. Our homes are engineered for strength, durability, and resilience, ensuring they can withstand high winds year-round—no matter where you live on Delmarva.

Unlike standard site-built homes that often use trusses, every Beracah home features a full rafter roofing system. Our rafters are hinge-bolted onto the home through a gusset system, providing extra structural integrity that helps our roofs stay strong against high winds.

And because our homes are built indoors, 90% of the roofing work is completed before they leave the factory, ensuring precise installation in a controlled environment—something that traditional site-built homes simply can’t guarantee.

Beracah Homes primarily uses Architectural Shingles, which are thicker, more durable, and designed to handle stronger winds compared to standard 3-tab shingles. These shingles offer:
✔ Higher wind resistance
✔ Longer lifespan
✔ Better curb appeal

For added style and durability, we also incorporate metal roofing accents on dormers, porches, and other architectural features. Metal roofing isn’t just about aesthetics—it offers:
✔ Extreme durability against high winds
✔ Excellent water-shedding capabilities
✔ Low maintenance and long-term value

Living on Delmarva means dealing with high winds all year long, from nor’easters to summer storms. A strong, well-built roof can mean the difference between long-term protection and costly repairs. Beracah’s engineered hinge-bolted rafter system, hurricane clips, and factory-controlled construction ensure your home is ready to stand strong—no matter what the weather brings.

Your home is more than just a place to live—it’s an investment in your future. At Beracah Homes, we build homes that last, using advanced materials and construction techniques to ensure you get superior strength, efficiency, and long-term peace of mind.
