Designed around a barrier-island property.
Longboat Key homes require careful coordination of existing structure, site access, flood elevation, wind exposure, foundations and the finished lower level. JAS approaches the home as one construction project rather than separating the physical lift from the permanent foundation and finishing work.
One town across two counties.
Longboat Key extends through Manatee and Sarasota counties, while the Town of Longboat Key administers building permitting and inspections. The Town also provides property-specific flood risk and available elevation certificate information. Confirm current requirements with the Town before finalizing the design or construction scope.
Bring the right starting information
A survey, any elevation certificate, existing plans, damage documentation and a description of your goals can help the review. The local authority determines the actual application requirements.
Plan the whole project
Compare elevation, substantial renovation and rebuilding in terms of structural condition, access, foundations, utilities and finished use. The hydraulic lift alone does not define the final cost or schedule.
