What Is Storm Damage Demolition?
Storm damage demolition is the emergency removal of structures that have been damaged or destroyed by hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, or other weather events. When a building sustains damage that makes it unsafe or uneconomical to repair, demolition clears the property for rebuilding.
Storm damage demolition often involves working with compromised and dangerous structures. Partially collapsed buildings, structures with roof failures, flood-damaged foundations, and buildings struck by fallen trees all require careful assessment and safe demolition practices.
In Florida, storm damage demolition frequently follows hurricanes. High winds, storm surge, flooding, and flying debris can destroy homes and businesses in minutes. After the storm passes, property owners need fast, reliable demolition services to begin recovery.
Emergency demolition may be authorized by local building officials when structures pose immediate public safety hazards. In these cases, the normal permit process is expedited to allow rapid response.

Storm damage claims can be complex. Bayside Construction has decades of experience working with insurance companies on storm-related demolition.
We provide:
- Detailed photographic documentation of damage before demolition begins.
- Written estimates itemizing demolition scope, debris removal, and associated costs.
- Direct communication with adjusters and claims representatives.
- Flexibility to work within insurance timelines and approval processes.
- Supplemental documentation if additional damage is discovered during demolition.
We understand that you're dealing with a stressful situation. We make the demolition portion of your claim as smooth as possible.

Storm Damage FAQs
Q: How quickly can you respond to storm damage?
A: 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.
Q: Do you work with insurance companies?
A: Yes. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies on storm damage claims. We document damage, provide detailed estimates, and coordinate directly with adjusters.
Q: Do I need a permit for emergency demolition?
A: 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.
Q: What if my building is only partially damaged?
A: 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.
Q: Can you remove trees that fell on my house?
A: Yes. We remove storm-downed trees from structures and properties. If the tree has caused structural damage, we assess whether the building requires demolition or repair.
Q: What should I do immediately after storm damage?
A: Ensure everyone's safety first. Don't enter severely damaged structures. Document damage with photos if safe to do so. Contact your insurance company to report the claim. Then call us for emergency assessment and response.
Q: Do you provide tarping or board-up services?
A: Yes. We can secure damaged structures with tarps or boarding to prevent further damage while insurance claims are processed or decisions are made about repair versus demolition.
