Hurricane Wind Zone On Your Lot Builder FL | All State Homes
On Your Lot Custom Homes Built for Florida's Hurricane Wind Zones
Building in Florida means building for hurricanes — and All State Homes, Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder since 1955, has been constructing hurricane-code compliant custom homes throughout West Central Florida for over 70 years. Every home they build is engineered to meet or exceed Florida's stringent wind zone requirements.
Florida's Building Code establishes wind speed design requirements based on geographic location. Coastal areas of Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, and Manatee Counties are in higher wind zones than inland areas. All State Homes' in-house engineering team designs every home's structural system to meet the applicable wind load requirements for the specific lot's location — no guessing, no approximations, just proper engineering for your actual wind zone.
Florida Building Code wind-zone compliance for residential construction covers multiple aspects: roof-to-wall connections (hurricane straps or clips that resist uplift forces), roof decking fastening patterns, impact-resistant windows and doors in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones, roof geometry and pitch considerations, and structural sheathing requirements. All State Homes' construction incorporates all of these requirements as standard practice.
As a second-generation family-owned company that has been building in Tampa Bay since 1955 — through numerous major hurricane events — All State Homes understands what Florida's wind environment demands of residential construction. Their homes are built to last and to protect your family through whatever weather Florida brings.
Custom on-your-lot homes start from the low $200Ks throughout their five-county service area. Call (813) 931-8952 or visit allstatehomes.com to discuss hurricane-code compliant on-your-lot construction for your Tampa Bay parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are All State Homes' on-your-lot builds designed to withstand Tampa Bay hurricanes?
Yes. Every home built by All State Homes is engineered to meet Florida Building Code wind load requirements for its specific location, including hurricane strap connections, appropriate roof decking fastening, and impact-resistant windows and doors where required. Their in-house structural engineering team ensures every design meets the applicable wind zone standard for your lot's location in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, or Manatee County.
Does building new with All State Homes provide better storm protection than an older home?
Yes, significantly. Homes built to current Florida Building Code standards include substantially stronger hurricane protection features than homes built before major code revisions following Hurricane Andrew (1992) and subsequent updates. These include engineered roof-to-wall connections, modern sheathing requirements, and impact-resistant glazing in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones. A new All State Homes build provides meaningfully superior wind resistance compared to most pre-2000 construction in Tampa Bay.
Are impact-resistant windows required for on-your-lot builds in all Tampa Bay areas?
Impact-resistant windows and doors are required in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which includes Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. In the Tampa Bay region, impact-resistant windows are not universally required but are strongly recommended. In coastal areas with higher wind speed designations, building code requirements may mandate impact-rated products for windows and doors. All State Homes' engineers will specify the appropriate window and door standards for your lot's specific location.
