Lori Aceto from Guido Construction, a Westchester Modular Homes builder in NJ, wrote to John Colucci, VP of Sales for Westchester, about
one of their modular homes surviving
and doing so in the midst of total destruction.
Look closely in the bottom right hand corner of the photo
and you’ll see a yellow 2 story colonial that Guido Construction built showing
how the water surged past the house and knocked a lot of neighboring houses off
their foundations and destroyed many others.
“Yesterday, the builder accompanied the homeowners to see
their home for the first time since
struck. Their’s was the only home with NO damage, maybe $150 worth. Guido
hurricane strapped the structure from top to bottom, built it on pilings and
the stainless steel flood vents performed exactly as expected allowing water to
flow right through,” Lori wrote.
“No siding was lost (we did that) and no roofing was lost (
the day it was built..until you looked out the window of course. This is an
amazing testament to quality construction. Other modular homes we built in
Lavalette and
wonderfully,” she added.
