Storm restoration in Longboat Key
Longboat Key is a narrow barrier island town straddling the Sarasota-Manatee county line, home to roughly 7,500 residents and bookended by the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Sarasota Bay on the other. That geography put the town directly in the path of Hurricane Milton's October 2024 landfall at nearby Siesta Key - the county's first direct major-hurricane strike in eighty years - which brought Category 3 winds and surge of six to ten feet along the Gulf coast and produced millions of cubic yards of debris across the county. Being hit by three named storms in a single season, as Sarasota County was in 2024, is a reminder of what barrier-island exposure actually looks like. We connect Longboat Key homeowners with vetted, licensed local restoration professionals who can provide a free on-site assessment.

Local specialists for Longboat Key storm damage
Sarasota County sits directly on Florida's Gulf Coast and carries one of the highest hurricane landfall exposure profiles on the west coast of Florida. Hurricane Milton made direct landfall at Siesta Key on October 9, 2024 as a Category 3 storm - the first direct county hit since 1944 - producing sustained winds of 115-120 mph and storm surge of 6 to 10 feet from Venice to Manasota Key, generating 2.4 million cubic yards of debris county-wide. In 2024 alone, the county was impacted by three named storms (Debby, Helene, and Milton) within a single hurricane season, a pattern consistent with its barrier-island coastline and shallow Gulf shelf that amplifies storm surge. Storm-restoration work in the county typically involves roof replacement and wind-damage repair, storm-surge flood remediation (including mold, structural drying, and flooring), impact window and shutter damage, and dock or seawall loss on the extensive coastal and inland waterway frontage.
