Garage door wind damage.

The most effective strategy for preventing wind damage to your home is to install a wind resistant garage door. Direct impact from wind or flying objects can dent and damage your garage door in a second. Once a garage door is damaged the entire house is susceptible to wind pressure. Windows and doors are often blown out by gusts of wind and wind pressure can weaken roofs and walls causing significant structural damage.

High winds can push a garage door inward allowing pressure to build inside the garage and push up on the roof and surrounding walls often resulting in major damage to your home. Hurricanes cause damage through the force of the wind direct object impacts and rain. Because of their large size garage doors present a much bigger risk than regular access doors and windows.
