INTRODUCING GILKSTRONG
The New Standard in Hurricane-Resistant Luxury Homes by Gilk Design Build
Storm-Ready
Foundation
In flood-prone areas, we recommend tailored solutions such as stem wall or elevated foundations based on the property’s location and FEMA flood zone designation.
Steel Trusses and
Framing
Superior to traditional wood, our steel framing system provides unmatched durability, wind resistance, and pest protection – while reducing long-term maintenance.
Impact-Resistant Windows
and Doors
Our high-performance windows and doors are engineered to resist wind-borne debris, helping to preserve your home’s integrity during hurricane events.
Stronger by Design.
Smarter for Florida.
At Gilk Design Build, we understand that building in Florida requires more than just luxury—it demands resilience. That’s why we created GilkStrong, a specialized initiative delivering hurricane-resistant homes that exceed Florida’s strictest building codes while maintaining the sophistication and attention to detail our clients expect.
Engineered for Florida’s Most Extreme Conditions
In a state where hurricanes are not a possibility but an expectation, designing for resilience is essential. GilkStrong homes are built with advanced construction techniques and durable materials to ensure they endure not only storms—but time. By integrating storm-resistant strategies from the start, our custom homes deliver long-term protection, lower maintenance costs, and help safeguard your investment for years to come.
Elevated Design. Grounded in Safety.
Every GilkStrong home is thoughtfully designed to combine structural integrity with aesthetic excellence. From raised foundations to steel framing, every element works together to withstand high winds, flooding, and flying debris—without compromising on beauty.
Proactive Planning = Resilient Living
Hurricane resistance starts long before the first brick is laid. We incorporate storm-proofing into the earliest stages of design—factoring in roof pitch, material resilience, ventilation, and more. At Gilk Design Build, strength is never an afterthought—it’s built into the blueprint.
