Custom aluminum flood panels and flood gates for Dunedin homes, condos and businesses, built for Gulf Coast storms by a local team with 50+ years of storm-protection history.
Who installs flood panels in Dunedin?
Why Dunedin properties flood
Dunedin is surrounded by St. Joseph Sound, with Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands offshore. That access to the water is why people love living here, and it's also why flooding here is a question of when, not if.
- Waterfront homes and the downtown marina area sit low along St. Joseph Sound.
- Surge pushed in from the Gulf can flood streets near the water quickly.
- Older homes and businesses downtown benefit from removable, low-profile barriers.
Flood Guard systems are built from corrosion-resistant aluminum and stainless steel for salt air, and installed to Florida Building Code.

Flood protection questions from Dunedin
Do I need flood protection in Dunedin if I'm not in a FEMA flood zone?
Often, yes. Many Pinellas County properties that flooded in Hurricanes Helene and Milton were outside FEMA's high-risk zones. Surge, king tides and heavy rain don't follow map lines; how close you are to the water and how low your floor sits matter more.
How much does flood protection cost in Dunedin?
Most Dunedin homes come in around $5,000–$8,000; large condo and commercial buildings have run $50,000–$80,000. The price depends on the number and size of openings. The assessment and quote are free, and veterans discounts are available.
Do flood panels in Dunedin need a permit?
Some installations need a permit or HOA or condo board approval, depending on the building and the jurisdiction. Flood Guard works within Pinellas County requirements and installs to Florida Building Code.
How fast can Flood Guard install in Dunedin?
It depends on the season and the size of the job. Systems are custom built, so the best time to book is well before a storm is in the Gulf. Call (727) 599-4275 for current lead times.
