Permits will stall for a year.
We cannot control a building department. We can control whether the package is complete, whether flood and wind are addressed, and whether we are surprised by a known overlay.

Waterfront & Coastal Construction
Barrier islands and bay lots are beautiful and unforgiving. We treat flood, wind, and salt as first-order facts.
Longboat, Siesta, Bird, Lido, Casey — the names photograph well. The work does not. Access is tight. Neighbors are close. Jurisdictions multiply. Materials that look right in a showroom corrode. Openings that look generous fail impact.
The principal spent years building on the California coast and on hillsides that moved. Different hazards. Same lesson: water and air will find the lazy detail. Florida adds flood elevation, wind-borne debris, and a permitting culture that rewards people who arrived prepared.
We will not invent a waterfront 'guarantee.' We will put coastal constraints on the table before you fall in love with a roof overhang the lot cannot carry.
What people worry about
What this actually involves.
Salt will eat the house.
Fasteners, metals, coatings, and millwork are specified for a marine climate. Pretty and perishable is not a specification.

Private Project Review
Tell us about the work. We will tell you if we are a fit.
A structured first conversation — not a contact form that vanishes into a sales queue. If the project belongs with Remodel, we route you there. If it does not belong with us, you will hear that too.
