Storm Damage Repair in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville's position as Florida's northernmost major city exposes it to the full range of Southeast Atlantic storm threats — from Gulf-crossing hurricanes recurving north, to Atlantic nor'easters that approach from the northeast, to the violent spring and fall supercell thunderstorms that develop along the Gulf Coast and track across the Florida Panhandle into North Florida. The metro has been grazed or impacted by multiple named storms in the last decade, including Hermine (2016), Matthew (2016 — which devastated Ponte Vedra and Vilano Beach with storm surge), and Irma (2017). Jacksonville's older neighborhoods — Springfield, Riverside, and San Marco — feature wood-frame and masonry construction from the early 20th century that was built long before hurricane wind standards existed. These structures sustain significant roof and siding damage from tropical storm-force winds that modern construction would shrug off. Newer suburban developments in Nocatee and eTown in St. Johns County meet 2017+ code but represent a small portion of the total metro housing stock.
