Why Boca Raton Homes Need a Specialist
Boca Raton homes take a specific kind of beating in a hurricane: tile roofs lift in 110+ mph gusts off the Atlantic, stucco crazes along the salt-air-exposed east elevations, and the older condo and HOA neighborhoods west of Federal Highway sit on slabs that move differently than newer construction in West Boca. tsmarthome runs hurricane damage repair across all of Boca — from the waterfront homes in The Sanctuary and Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club to the inland HOAs of Boca Bath & Tennis and the Mizner Park area condos. We are licensed by the City of Boca Raton Development Services Department, carry the wind-mitigation engineering credentials Palm Beach County requires for sealed structural calcs, and have the carrier relationships to keep your claim from sitting. For HOA properties, we coordinate with the association management company on common-element vs. unit-owner scope before demolition starts, which is where most Boca Raton storm jobs go sideways.
Common Hurricane Repair Problems We See in Boca Raton
- Tile roof slippage and underlayment failure on east-facing slopes after Cat 2+ events
- Salt-air-driven stucco crazing and EIFS delamination on coastal Boca elevations
- Impact-glass NOA mismatches when older Boca homes mix replacement and original openings
- HOA scope disputes between unit owner and association on Mizner Park / East Boca condos
- Slab-on-grade water intrusion in West Boca neighborhoods built before 1995 drainage standards
Our Hurricane Damage Repair Approach
tsmarthome runs a single-contractor hurricane recovery program — structural inspection, envelope repair, roofing, impact-opening replacement, and interior dry-out under one project manager. We document every line item to Florida insurance carrier standards (Citizens, Universal, Tower Hill, Heritage) and keep your claim moving while crews are already on site. Repairs are engineered to current FBC wind-load and impact requirements, not the code in force when the original home was permitted, so the rebuilt envelope is harder to damage in the next storm.
Local Case Example
After a 2024 tropical system, we restored a 4,200 sqft East Boca waterfront home with tile roof failure, three impact-window units cracked by wind-borne debris, and 1,800 sqft of saltwater intrusion in the great room. Re-occupancy in 11 weeks; supplement approved for an additional $84k in concealed roof-deck damage discovered during demo.

Hurricane Repair FAQs — Boca Raton
Can you handle Boca Raton HOA and condo association approvals after a storm?
Yes. We have submitted scope packages to most of the larger Boca management companies — Castle Group, FirstService, KW Property Management — and we coordinate with the association engineer on common-element repairs before mobilizing crews. For condo unit-owner work we keep the chain of custody on insurance documentation clean so the carrier and the association are not paying for the same scope twice.
Do you work directly with my insurance company?
Yes. We document scope and pricing in Xactimate-compatible format, attend adjuster meetings, and supplement the claim when hidden damage surfaces during demolition. You stay the policyholder of record — we are the contractor, not a public adjuster.
How fast can you start emergency stabilization?
Tarp-and-board crews are typically on site within 24–72 hours of a signed work authorization, sooner if the property is in our active service radius and the storm has cleared.
Will repairs meet current Florida Building Code?
All structural, roofing, and opening work is engineered to the 2023 Florida Building Code in force at the time of permit, including HVHZ requirements where applicable. We do not "repair-in-kind" to obsolete code unless the carrier explicitly requires it and the local AHJ allows it.
