Demand spikes after storms. Plan capacity.
Communities
Waterfront HOAs can bring multiple projects.

A message that books
"Hi Mark, I noticed soil loss behind your seawall. I can inspect it this week and send photos and repair options."
Common mistakes
Starting without permits, ignoring drainage and patching instead of fixing causes.
An example
A marine contractor offered free seawall inspections in one canal community and delivered photo reports to each owner. Several owners booked repairs, and the HOA asked for a proposal for the common areas.
Know your numbers
Track inspections, proposals, signed jobs and permit approval times, which often decide your schedule.
