Lakewood Ranch's master-planned communities span over 33,000 acres of former ranch land and house thousands of families whose homes can be damaged by hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall, and fallen trees.

Demo Dave's four decades of storm response experience help Lakewood Ranch homeowners navigate the stressful process of damage assessment, insurance coordination, and recovery.
Lakewood Ranch's various villages each have HOA standards and community management that may need to be coordinated during storm damage demolition. The Del Webb 55+ community requires coordination with community management. Homes in earlier villages like Country Club and Greenbrook from the early 2000s may have aging roof systems more vulnerable to wind damage than newer construction in Waterside or Cresswind. Manatee County Building Department handles all permits for the Lakewood Ranch area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage in Lakewood Ranch
How do Lakewood Ranch HOAs handle storm damage demolition?
Each Lakewood Ranch village has its own HOA standards, but emergency situations involving safety hazards take priority over aesthetic guidelines. We coordinate with your village management, maintain communication about timelines and site conditions, and work to meet community standards while addressing the damage efficiently. Your safety comes first.
My Lakewood Ranch home sustained major roof damage in a hurricane. Do you handle just the damaged section?
Yes. We can perform partial demolition, removing the damaged section of your roof structure and compromised interior materials while preserving the sound portions of your home. We document everything for your insurance claim and coordinate with your roofing contractor if you plan to repair rather than rebuild.
How quickly can you respond to storm damage?
We respond as quickly as conditions safely allow. During active storms, response may be delayed until conditions permit safe travel and work. Once conditions clear, emergency calls receive priority scheduling.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies on storm damage claims. We document damage, provide detailed estimates, and coordinate directly with adjusters.
Do I need a permit for emergency demolition?
Emergency demolition of structures posing immediate safety hazards may be authorized by local officials with expedited or waived permit requirements. For non-emergency storm damage demolition, standard permits apply. We navigate permit requirements for your situation.
What if my building is only partially damaged?
We can perform selective demolition, removing damaged portions while preserving salvageable sections. We assess whether partial demolition and repair makes sense versus complete demolition and rebuild.
