Don't Be a Victim - Get Ready for Hurricane Season 2019

Haas Door • June 3, 2019


It’s here. And, it has the potential to be costly.
 Hurricanes can bring incredible storms that damage property and disrupt lives. If you live in a geographic area that could likely be impacted by severe weather, then now is the time to take a serious look at home exteriors and prepare for the 2019 hurricane season.

During a hurricane, a home or business can be devastated if severe winds breach the roof, windows, entry doors or garage door of a structure. If even one of these areas is breached, then damage can be extensive.

Think Again
 If you’ve thought that you can get by “just one more year” before replacing your old garage door, think again. That existing garage door has most likely protected your garage from many storms … and it just may have outlived its lifespan.

For people who live in hurricane-prone areas it’s best to have a professional garage door installer inspect your current garage door now, before hurricane season gets into full swing. Also, if your home survived severe weather last hurricane season, it’s also a good idea to have professionals evaluate your roof, windows and entry doors.

Make Smart Choices
 When it’s time for a new garage door to help protect your home and family, make sure to invest wisely. Look for doors that are made to stand up to Mother Nature.

At Haas Door, we manufacture a wide variety of garage doors that are Florida Building and Miami-Dade Code compliant. These garage doors reinforced with our patented E-Struts can withstand hurricane-force winds and severe weather, even if you don’t live in Florida.

Two new Haas Door products you may wish to consider that are now available in impact glazing are the Residential Aluminum 360 Series (RA360) and American Tradition Series.


Both of these product lines now offer four impact resistant options. The sophisticated straight line look of the RA360 Series can be enhanced with Clear, Bronze, Dark Gray and Pebble impact resistant glazing, which also meets design pressure requirements for specific high wind areas around the country. The American Tradition Series, one of our most popular lines of garage doors, also includes these same four impact window polycarbonate choices in our new 900 Series.

Finally, know that when making the decision to invest in a new garage door, you’re making a smart choice for both the upcoming hurricane season and for many years to come.

According to the 2019 Cost Versus Value Study coordinated by Remodeling magazine, replacing a garage door has the highest return on investment of any home improvement project — a whopping 97.5%. In simple terms, if you invest $3,000 in a garage door, you can count on $2,925 of those funds adding to the value of your home. That alone is a great reason to have a new garage door installed right now!

Hurricane Season Readiness: How Your Garage Door Can Make or Break Home Protection

By Haas Door • July 31, 2025
As hurricane season ramps up, homeowners across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic states and beyond are checking emergency kits, trimming trees and securing loose outdoor items. But one of the most important — and most overlooked — steps in hurricane prep starts with your garage. At Haas Door, we know that your garage door isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s a vital barrier that protects your home from wind, water and debris. And in high-wind events like hurricanes, it can be a first line of defense in protecting your home. Why Your Garage Door Matters in a Storm A compromised garage door can cause catastrophic damage. According to FEMA, garage door failure is one of the leading causes of structural damage during hurricanes. Once the door is breached, wind pressure can build inside your home, lifting the roof and blowing out walls.

The Heroes Behind Every Garage Door

By Haas Door • June 19, 2025
Celebrating Technicians on Super Tech Day At Haas Door, we’re proud of the precision and care that goes into every product we engineer. We sweat the details so our doors meet the highest standards of performance, durability and beauty. But as any good company knows, no product, no matter how well-made, reaches its full potential without the hands and minds of the people who bring it to life out in the world. That’s why Super Tech Day means so much to us. It’s a welcome reminder each year that garage door technicians are the linchpins of our industry. They’re the bridge between factory floor and final installation on a happy customer’s home. They’re the people who make sure our work works.  And today, we want to shine the spotlight on them.
