Hey ****! That sounds frustrating. In Florida, you might have a couple of options:

- Damage claim: You can seek compensation for the damage to your skirting.
Would you like guidance on how to approach this legally, or possibly connect with a local lawyer?

Alright, ****. I can guide you on both options:
*. Nuisance Claim:
