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

Redington Shores after a hurricane

As a low or barrier location, Redington Shores takes both surge and wind. After a storm we secure openings with metal panels, extract water that came in, and dry walls and floors before mold starts.

Redington Shores is a small barrier-island town of condos and homes north of North Redington Beach. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 2,078 residents in Redington Shores. The median year of construction is about 1976, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Redington Shores 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 Redington Shores share walls, ceilings, and HVAC, so one unit's water or smoke often reaches neighbors.

How storm restoration works

1. Board up broken windows, sliders, and doors with metal panels.
2. Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
3. Pull standing water out of the building.
4. Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
5. Document wind damage and flood damage separately for your insurers.

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.

Local facts that shape the job in Redington Shores

The median age in Redington Shores is about 63 (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. Roughly 37% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager. Median year built: 1976. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. About 50% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors.
