Madeira Beach after the storms
Madeira Beach runs from the Redingtons south to John's Pass, with Gulf-front condos on one side of Gulf Boulevard and canal neighborhoods on the bay side. More than 100 people have filed for demolition permits here since the storms (ABC Action News).
Many of the bay-side streets are lined with older single-story homes that took surge water in 2024. Empty lots and new raised homes now sit between houses still waiting on repairs.
Madeira Beach homes and lots
Small block and frame homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, duplexes and older cottages, many on canal lots with docks. Tight streets and small lots make access and debris staging part of every estimate.

Plan the dumpster spot
Narrow streets and small lots leave little room for roll-off containers. Ask where the dumpster and equipment will sit before the work starts.
