Storm damage restoration in Immokalee, FL

Storm risk in Immokalee

Immokalee is inland from the Gulf, so wind and heavy rain are the main storm threats: lifted shingles, broken windows, and water through soffits and sliders. We tarp, board up, extract, and dry.

Immokalee is an inland agricultural community in northeast Collier County, surrounded by vegetable and citrus farms, along State Roads 29 and 82. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 27,753 residents in Immokalee. The median year of construction is about 1991, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Much of Immokalee is rural or large-lot, with longer driveways and, in some areas, private wells and septic systems.

Immokalee by the numbers

Median year built: 1991. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. Immokalee is about 30 miles northeast of Naples. About 63% of occupied homes are rented, so landlords, tenants, and managers often share the call and the paperwork. Population: about 27,753 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).
