Cat Five Houses

Cat Five Houses is a Home Builder in Hanahan, SC. The company specializes in building coastal homes with a patented aluminum frame system designed to withstand hurricane-force winds, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Cat Five Houses serves homeowners along the coast who face the growing challenges of securing reliable and resilient housing in an era where some insurers are no longer underwriting coverage along waterways and federal measures call for drastic increases in flood insurance.

Building a Cat Five Home with aluminum framing removes the headaches that come with owning a home near the coast. The beams that frame the house are engineered to withstand destructive natural occurrences, like hurricane force winds, but also offer additional benefits, including reduced insurance rates, energy efficiency, and a frame impervious to termite damage. The patented aluminum frame system is designed and engineered to endure winds over 157mph and can be customized to any architectural style. Materials are engineered to withstand horizontal movements to protect homes from earthquakes as strong as magnitude 8 on the Richter scale. The tornado room frame delivers superior stability for constructing a customizable and impenetrable tornado shelter inside your home. Cat Five Houses also offers the RDS Tornado Shelter/Safe Room, built from the toughest hardware and materials, which can withstand 250mph winds and can be finished with power and plumbing, ensuring a secure, yet comfortable, shelter. The company works with architects to provide the foundation and framework for hurricane, earthquake, and tornado resistant homes, using collaboration rather than competition.
