Why Choose Strobel Design Build for Your Tampa Bay FEMA Remodel?
1. Initial Consultation
We begin at the initial consultation phase with a comprehensive evaluation of your property's flood risk and current compliance status, assessing flood plain elevation, municipal restrictions, and depreciated structure value.
2. Tailored Approach
Our team develops a tailored plan for your home, addressing the following common considerations:
- Depreciated Structure Value: This value, which can be found on the property appraisers website or on a recent appraisal, will inform us of your contract price limitations per the FEMA 50% rule, which states that "if the cost of improvements or the cost to repair damages exceeds 50% of the market value of the building, it must be brought up to current floodplain management standards". If this value is too low to achieve your remodel with, we will discuss alternative solutions. Typically beginning with the possibility of ordering an updated appraisal, which could yield a higher "market value" and thus a higher "50% allowance", or considering a smaller project scope, or considering avenues that would make your property fully-compliant and thus not subject to the 50% limitation.
- Municipality Restrictions: Each municipality has their own unique floodplain restrictions and codes, in addition to the federal (FEMA restrictions). Such as "cumulative limits" which can limit a homeowners ability to use their 50% limit to only one per "x" years.
3. Design Integration
Our talented team of designers seamlessly incorporate FEMA compliance into your remodel, guaranteeing that your personalized design and floodplain safety measures go hand in hand.
4. Permitting and FEMA Compliance
During our pre-production phase we execute all necessary paperwork and collaborate with your municipality's building department, ensuring your project meets all regulations smoothly and quickly.
5. Build!
The hard part is over, once we have an approved permit our skilled construction team gets to work executing your remodel with precision while strictly adhering to all FEMA standards for safety and longevity.
