Maintaining your island home

It’s no surprise that the weather on the Barrier Islands can be hard on a home’s exterior.

Hot sun, humidity, and salt air contribute to the fading, and mildewing of exterior coatings. If these conditions are left unchecked for too long, wood rot is sure to follow.

Although we do replace soft or rotted exterior trim as needed, we feel that a better solution is to perform scheduled pressure washings and inspect the exterior for separated caulk, and heavily sun faded areas.

Doing a yearly check, and routinely addressing these issues will keep your home more waterproof, and looking great… not to mention extending the time between repaints.
