Isla Breeze: a flooded 1940s bungalow, back in the game.
Case file · Madeira BeachWhat happened.
Isla Breeze is a 1940s bungalow on Madeira Beach. Floodwater went through the house, and afterward the city called it substantially damaged. On an older home in a flood zone, that call can mean you can’t rebuild what you had without bringing the whole structure up to new-construction rules.
We challenged that call, and the substantial-damage determination was reversed. From there, with private-provider plan review, the permit issued within 20 days.
Then the work: the house was gutted to the studs and dried, wrapped, re-sided, and closed in with new drywall. The photos below are the job as it happened — no staging and no retouching.
We don’t issue permits ourselves — we make sure they’re issued within statutory timeframes under Florida Statute 553.791.
