North Redington Beach is a small barrier-island town of homes and Gulf-front condos between Redington Beach and Redington Shores. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 1,349 residents in North Redington Beach. The median year of construction is about 1977, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. North Redington Beach 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. Condo and multi-unit buildings in North Redington Beach share walls, ceilings, and HVAC, so one unit's water or smoke often reaches neighbors.

Know your North Redington Beach property

The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts North Redington Beach at about 1,349 residents. Roughly 36% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; owners are often out of state when a neighbor's fire sends smoke into a unit. About 67% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so smoke moves through corridors and shared HVAC. The median home in North Redington Beach was built around 1977 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); older homes often have older wiring and more layers of paint and finish for soot to bond to.

From board-up to odor treatment

1. Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
2. Remove soot with HEPA vacuums and the right cleaning chemistry for each surface.
3. Clean HVAC components before the system runs again.
4. Take out burned or heavily smoked materials that will keep smelling.
5. Photograph and document everything for your insurer.
