South Florida is brutal on the outside of a house. Sun, salt and eight months of humidity take apart timber, seals and paint faster than almost anywhere else in the country. Exterior work here is maintenance, not a one-off, and catching rot early is the difference between replacing a board and replacing a deck.
Decks, fences and gates
Repair, sealing, power washing and rebuilding. Rotted boards get replaced before the joists underneath go, which is where a cheap repair turns into an expensive one.
Water is what actually causes the damage
Blocked gutters and failed caulk around windows and doors put water where it should not be. Both are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore.
Paint and shutters
Exterior painting, shutter installation and painting, and rotted wood replacement — prepped properly so the coating lasts through a wet season rather than a dry one.
