Anna Maria hurricane and storm damage cleanup

How storms hit Anna Maria

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Anna Maria. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Anna Maria is the city at the north end of Anna Maria Island, with a historic city pier and cottages. Helene and Milton pushed surge onto the island in 2024. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 825 residents in Anna Maria. The median year of construction is about 1975, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Anna Maria is on a barrier island exposed to Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain. Recent hurricanes have pushed water into ground floors and low streets.

Who pays, and who keeps the claim

Wind damage is usually a homeowners claim; rising water usually needs a flood policy. We document each source separately with photos, readings, and a written scope. You keep the claim; we are not a public adjuster.

What we do after a Anna Maria storm

1. Close broken openings with metal panels.
2. Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
3. Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
4. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.

Before we arrive

• Turn off power to wet areas only if you can do it safely.
• Take photos of the roof, openings, and every wet room.
• Call your insurance company and write down the claim number.

Know your Anna Maria property

Roughly 35% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager. The median home in Anna Maria was built around 1975 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Anna Maria at about 825 residents. Anna Maria's median age is roughly 67. If a relative or property manager is handling things for you, we send them the same documentation.
