Painting in Sanibel, FL

Homes rebuilt on Sanibel after Ian must meet current Florida Building Code requirements, including wind resistance standards and flood elevation requirements that are stricter than the codes that governed the older cottages and mid-century homes the storm destroyed. We install roofing systems that meet these current standards for barrier island construction.

Sanibel's position as a barrier island means exterior surfaces face salt-air exposure from both the Gulf and the bay. Salt air breaks down paint binders and causes adhesion failure faster than on mainland properties.
