The “FEMA 50% Rule” Explained

If your home is in a flood zone (AE or VE) in St. Pete Beach, you must be aware of the FEMA Substantial Improvement Rule.

• The Rule: If your renovation costs exceed 50% of the depreciated value of the structure, you may be forced to bring the entire house up to current flood code (elevating it).
• Our Expertise: We help you navigate this rule with “Phased Permitting” or strategic budgeting to ensure your project remains compliant without triggering massive unexpected costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle the HOA approval process?

Yes. We submit our license, insurance, and detailed scope of work directly to your Condo Association or Property Manager to secure approval before we start.

Can you remodel during “Snowbird Season”?

Many condos have strict rules banning construction from January to April. We help you plan your project timeline to fit within your building’s specific “construction window” (usually May through December).

What flooring is best for a beach condo?

We almost exclusively recommend Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or Large-Format Porcelain Tile. Both are impervious to water, easy to clean sand off of, and can handle wet swimsuits without warping like real wood.
