Our homes have the ability to endure hurricane-force winds, withstanding wind speeds of up to 250 mph. To put this in a little more perspective for you, even the fastest winds ever recorded in Florida's history, which reached 231mph in 1934, would be no match for the robust construction of Northstar homes. As hurricanes with wind speeds exceeding 157mph are classified as Category 5 storms, the fact that Northstar homes can withstand winds well beyond this threshold provides immense peace of mind for residents facing the ever-increasing threat of severe weather events

Mold and corrosion resistant due to the non-porous nature of the FRP composite materials used in their construction. Normal homes can develop mold due to various reasons, organic materials commonly used in construction, such as wood and drywall, serve as a food source for mold, promoting its growth. On the other hand, Northstar homes made out of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) offer a remarkable advantage in mold prevention. FRP is a non-porous material, which means it doesn't absorb moisture like traditional building materials. Its seamless construction also eliminates the risk of water intrusion through cracks or joints, further reducing moisture buildup. Additionally, FRP does not provide a food source for mold, making it inhospitable to mold growt
