After the storm in Bee Ridge: board-up, tarps, and drying

How storms hit Bee Ridge

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

Bee Ridge is a residential area east of Sarasota along Bee Ridge Road and near I-75. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 10,069 residents in Bee Ridge. The median year of construction is about 1988, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Older housing in Bee Ridge often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Stay safe first

• Stay out of flood water; it can hide live wires and debris.
• Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can.
• Move valuables out of wet rooms.

Claims paperwork

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.
