Restoration Services in Boca Grande, Florida

One causeway on and off the island, ground around 3 feet and a base flood elevation of 7. Boca Grande losses have to be planned, not just answered.

Boca Grande sits at the south end of Gasparilla Island, an unincorporated community in Lee County reached by a single road: the Boca Grande Causeway out of Placida, open since 1958. That one causeway shapes everything about how a loss gets handled here. Equipment, crews and debris all cross the same bridge, and when a storm closes it the island waits. Restoration work in Boca Grande has to be planned around access in a way it never does on the mainland.

The flood exposure is not a matter of opinion. FEMA maps the village as Zone AE, coastal floodplain, with a base flood elevation of 7 feet, while the ground through the middle of the village sits around 3 feet above sea level. That gap is the whole story: the finished floor of a compliant building is supposed to stand several feet above the dirt, and anything at grade, older slab construction, ground-level enclosures, garages and storage under elevated houses, is exposed to surge long before the water reaches a living room.

The island has proved it repeatedly. Hurricane Charley crossed in August 2004 and damaged buildings and the banyans the village is known for. Hurricane Ian came ashore just south of Gasparilla Island in September 2022 and pushed surge across the whole barrier chain. Our own job record shows what that did to the building stock here: of the 244 jobs we have run in Boca Grande since 2017, 170 came in the twelve months after Ian. That is not a marketing number, it is the count of files we opened.

Boca Grande also has a housing stock unlike anywhere else we work. Historic wood-frame cottages, elevated island houses, and a small number of condominium buildings sit next to each other, and the older wood structures behave differently when they get wet. Plaster and old-growth lumber hold moisture in places a meter reading through modern drywall will not show you, and cutting into a historic interior is a decision that deserves more care than a production crew usually gives it. We meter, document and open the minimum that will actually dry, then rebuild to match what was there.

Mold is the other constant. Twenty-nine of our Boca Grande projects have been mold remediation, a high share for a community this size, and the reason is the same one that makes the island pleasant: salt air, humidity and houses that sit empty for months at a time with the air conditioning set high or off. A second home that nobody visits between April and December is the ideal place for a slow supply-line leak to become a remediation project. If you are away from the island, a moisture alarm and somebody walking the house monthly is cheaper than anything we can sell you.

Our Actual Work Record in Boca Grande

Every number below is a count of real jobs from our project system, not an estimate. Figures as of September 2026.

244 jobs in Boca Grande since 2017
72 emergency mitigation callouts
45 reconstruction projects
4 in the last 12 months

We have worked in Boca Grande since 2017. 5 percent of that work has been condominium or association property, which is the split that decides how a loss gets handled here: who owns the drywall, who carries the deductible, and whether the board or the unit owner signs the authorization. The rest is mostly single-family, where the owner makes the call and the claim tends to move faster, but the association work is the part that needs the paperwork discipline.

We have also completed 29 mold remediation projects in Boca Grande. Crews work out of our Nokomis headquarters (300 Triple Diamond Blvd, Nokomis), and we hold the licensing to both dry the building and rebuild it in Lee County.

Common Questions

Restoration FAQs for Boca Grande

Answers for Boca Grande specifically - response, licensing, permits and how a claim here is handled.

Fast response guidance Insurance-aware answers Local service expectations

Our dispatch line is answered by a person 24 hours a day, and crews serving Boca Grande work out of our Nokomis headquarters at 300 Triple Diamond Blvd, Nokomis. We have handled 244 jobs in Boca Grande since 2017, 4 of them in the last year. We give you an arrival window on the call rather than a slogan, because the honest answer depends on the hour and on whether a storm has just put the whole county in line at once.

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here: 5 percent of our Boca Grande work, 11 projects, has been condominium or association property. That matters because a condo loss splits into unit damage and common-element damage, and the two are usually paid by different policies. We document them separately from the first visit and work directly with the board, the manager and the adjuster so the association is not left reconciling one invoice against two claims.

Yes. WrightWay is a licensed Florida building contractor as well as a restoration firm, so the same company that removes wet drywall in Boca Grande also holds the permit to put the room back. We have completed 45 reconstruction projects in Boca Grande. In practice this removes the gap most owners hit: the mitigation company leaves, the general contractor bids weeks later, and the claim stalls in between.

We do. Reconstruction in Boca Grande is permitted through the building department covering Lee County, and the permit is pulled under our contractor license, not subcontracted to whoever is available. Ask any restoration company for their license number before they touch structure: a mitigation-only firm cannot legally rebuild what it tears out, and finding that out after demolition is the expensive way to learn it.

Yes, 29 mold projects in Boca Grande to date. Florida licenses mold remediation separately from general restoration, and the state also bars the same company from writing the clearance test it grades itself against, which is why an independent assessor is involved on larger jobs. If you are seeing growth after a leak in Boca Grande, the cause is almost always a moisture source that is still active, and treating the surface without finding it just buys a few weeks.

Yes. We document to the standard adjusters expect, estimate in Xactimate, and bill the carrier directly, so in most Boca Grande claims you pay your deductible and nothing else. We are not a public adjuster and we do not take assignment of your benefits, so you keep control of the claim and can see every line we submit.

Stop the source if you can reach the shutoff safely, kill power to the affected area at the breaker if water is near outlets, and photograph everything before anything is moved. Then call us. Do not wait for your carrier to authorize work: every Florida policy requires you to prevent further damage, and in Boca Grande heat and humidity a wet wall cavity can start growing inside about 24 to 48 hours. Delay is the single most expensive decision available to you.

We have three offices, in Nokomis, Longboat Key and Fort Myers, and Boca Grande is worked from our Nokomis headquarters. The crews, trucks and drying equipment are ours and the project manager on your job is a WrightWay employee. We have handled 244 jobs in Boca Grande since 2017, 4 of them in the last year. Anyone can build a page for a city; the fair question to ask a restoration company is what they have finished there, and we would rather publish the count than a claim.
