The Seabreeze Residence is located directly on the beach in South Florida. When the hurricane came through, it caused damage across every system of the home.
Staircases were knocked down in multiple locations. Structural columns sustained damage. The entire first story flooded, resulting in water damage layered on top of the structural issues. Drywall was saturated and had to be removed before any repair work could begin. Dehumidifiers had to run for days to dry the structure enough for us to start.
There is a pattern that repeats after every major storm in Florida. Unlicensed contractors and underqualified crews flood the area, targeting homeowners in crisis. Their houses are damaged, their belongings are destroyed, and they need help immediately. That urgency creates an environment where corners get cut, credentials go unchecked, and substandard work gets sold as a solution.
This home needed more than fast hands. It needed a proper structural assessment, engineered repair drawings, and work that would hold up to code and to time.
