After the storm in North Redington Beach: board-up, tarps, and drying

What storms do to North Redington Beach properties

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

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.

After the storm passes

• Stay out of flood water; it can hide live wires and debris.
• Leave the breaker alone if you would have to stand in water to reach it.
• Keep generators outside and far from the house.

Our storm response

1. Close broken openings with metal panels.
2. Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
3. Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
4. Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.

Claims paperwork

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.
