Storm damage restoration in Marco Island, FL

How storms hit Marco Island

As a barrier island, Marco Island takes both surge and wind. After a storm, water may come in under doors, through damaged windows, and into ground-level enclosures. We secure openings with metal panels and dry what can be saved.

Marco Island is a barrier-island city in Collier County, reached by the Jolley Bridge. Beachfront condo towers line the Gulf side, and much of the island is canal-front single-family homes, many of them elevated and many used seasonally. Ian pushed surge onto the island in 2022.

Stay safe first

• Keep generators outside and far from the house.
• Call your insurance company and write down the claim number.
• Move valuables out of wet rooms.

Know your Marco Island property

Roughly 50% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager. The median age in Marco Island is about 68 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim. Marco Island is about 16 miles south of Naples. About 51% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors.

Insurance and your claim

After a hurricane, wind and flood claims often go to different insurers. We keep the documentation separate so each adjuster gets what they need. You stay in control of your claims.

Securing and drying out

1. Close broken openings with metal panels.
2. Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
3. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
4. Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.
