Many of Pass-a-Grille's original cottages predate modern flood codes by decades, which puts owners in a genuine bind after storm damage: preserve the historic character that makes the neighborhood valuable, or rebuild to the elevation current code requires. Neither choice is simple here.
Historic character meets modern flood code
A substantial damage determination doesn't make an exception for a neighborhood's historic character, even one as distinctive as Pass-a-Grille's. When teardown is the direction an owner chooses, we handle the demolition with the same care the neighborhood's character calls for — clean site work on a narrow, closely built street.

- Pool removal — full removal or fill-in
- Careful demolition on narrow historic-district streets
