Island Restoration Done Right
Sanibel is a special place to own property and a demanding place to restore one. Ian put most of the island under surge in 2022; the years since have been a lesson in which structures survive — and in how much salt water, humidity, and vacancy can do to the ones that take water. We bring the equipment, the documentation discipline, and the patience island work requires.
The island’s mix — ground-level older cottages, elevated stilt construction, low-rise condos — fails in different ways. Ground-level structures flood first and worst; elevated homes take wind-driven rain and enclosure flooding below; condos share losses between units. Every job starts with moisture mapping so nothing wet gets sealed behind new drywall.
Common Restoration Issues on Sanibel
- Storm surge: Salt water at living-space level in ground-level homes, and in garages/enclosures under elevated ones — corrosive, contaminated, time-critical.
- Seasonal vacancy losses: Many Sanibel homes sit empty for months. Small leaks and failed AC humidity control turn into whole-home mold problems by the time anyone returns.
- Wind-driven rain: Tropical systems push horizontal rain through sliders, seams, and older windows.
- Post-flood mold: Island humidity gives mold a head start on any loss that isn’t dried immediately and completely.
- Condo losses: Shared walls and stacked units mean shared losses — coordination and documentation matter as much as drying.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sanibel
We’re seasonal residents. Can you handle a loss while we’re away?
Yes — a large share of our island work happens for owners who are elsewhere. We coordinate access through your property watcher or manager, document everything with photos and daily updates, and work directly with your insurance carrier.
How soon can you be on the island?
We dispatch from Cape Coral 24/7 — over the causeway and on-island fast. For named storms we pre-stage so response isn’t waiting on reopened roads.
Do you also serve Captiva?
Yes — right up Sanibel-Captiva Road. See our Captiva page.
