No-See-Um vs Standard Screens: The Best Mesh Types for Florida Lanais (2025)
Florida lanais are meant for breezes, pool time, and sunset lounging—not bug battles or shredded screens after storm season. Picking the right mesh is the difference between a relaxing outdoor room and a humid bug trap. This guide compares no-see-um mesh against standard pool/lanai mesh and covers other specialty options for salt air, sun, storms, pets, and privacy. What “Standard” vs “No-See-Um” Screens Actually Mean Rule of thumb: the tighter the mesh, the better the bug protection—but with tradeoffs in airflow, light, and panel wind load.

Fascia Board Rot in Florida: Causes, Repairs & Real-World Cost Ranges
Florida’s heat, humidity, salt air, and sudden downpours are hard on exterior trim. Nowhere shows that wear faster than the fascia board—the horizontal trim behind your gutters and along your eaves. When fascia rots, gutters loosen, water backs up into the soffit, and moisture can reach the roof deck and walls. This guide explains why fascia rots in Florida, how pros diagnose the damage, repair vs. replace options, and typical 2025 cost ranges you can expect. What the Fascia Actually Does If the fascia softens or decays, fasteners lose bite, gutters sag, and overflow gets worse—accelerating the rot cycle. Why Fascia Rots in Florida Signs Your Fascia Is Failing Quick Inspection Checklist (Homeowner Friendly) If you find multiple soft sections or a long sagging run, plan for replacement rather than spot patching. Repair Options (Good → Better → Best) Spot Repair (Small Areas) Partial Run Replacement (Targeted Sides) Full Perimeter Replacement (Best for Long-Term) Material Choices (Florida-Savvy) Fasteners: Stainless or high-grade coated screws—avoid plain steel in Florida, especially near the coast. The Right Way to Fix Fascia (Process Overview) Real-World Cost Ranges in Florida (2025) Pricing varies by height, access, length, material, and whether gutters/soffits also need work. Ranges below
Vented vs Solid Soffit in Humid Florida: Attic Cooling & Moisture Control
Florida heat and humidity punish the edges of a home. Choose the wrong soffit strategy and you invite hot attic air, moldy roof decks, sweating ducts, and peeling paint. Choose the right one and you lower attic temps, protect your roof, and keep indoor humidity in check. This guide explains when to use vented vs solid soffit in Florida, how intake works with ridge/roof vents, and the details that prevent wind-driven rain, pests, and moisture problems. What a Soffit Actually Does (Florida Edition) Vented vs Solid: The Short Answer How Attic Ventilation Works in Humid Florida When Vented Soffit Is the Right Choice Must-haves for vented soffit: When Solid Soffit Is the Right Choice Tip: If you switch to solid in a location that used to be intake, add intake elsewhere (e.g., smart eave vents away from the problem area) to keep the system balanced.

Gutters for Metal Roofs in Florida: Drip Edge, Pitch & Hanger Must-Knows
Metal roofs shed water fast. In Florida’s cloudbursts and tropical bands, that “sheet flow” can overshoot small gutters, drown downspouts, and soak fascia unless your system is spec’d and installed for speed. This guide covers the must-knows for drip edge and apron flashing, pitch and capacity, and hanger/fastener choices so your gutters keep up with metal roofing from the Panhandle to the Paradise Coast. Why Metal Roofs Need a Different Gutter Spec Drip Edge, Apron & Eave Detailing (Metal-Specific) 1) Use a Hemmed Drip Edge or Gutter Apron 2) Tuck the Gutter Correctly Relative to the Edge 3) Front Height vs. Back Height 4) Valley Terminations Need Extras Pitch, Capacity & Downspouts (Built for Florida Downpours) 6″ vs 7″ for Metal Roofs Slope the Runs (Don’t Go Flat) Downspout Strategy Discharge Management Hangers, Fasteners & Attachments (No Panel Penetrations) Hidden Hangers into Solid Structure Spacing for Storm Readiness Fasteners Avoid Roof-Strap Penetrations Material Choices for Metal-Roof Homes Guard Systems That Keep Up with Metal Roof Flow Valley & Corner Control (Where Metal Roofs Overwhelm First) Avoiding Galvanic Corrosion on Mixed Metals Common Mistakes on Metal-Roof Gutters (and the Fix) Maintenance Schedule for Florida Metal Roofs Costs in Florida (2025 Averages)
Best Gutter Materials for Coastal & Inland Florida (Salt Air, Sun & Storms)
Florida’s climate is beautiful—and brutal on building materials. Along the coast, salt air accelerates corrosion. Inland, UV and heat break down finishes, and summer storms unleash fast, wind-driven downpours. Choosing the right gutter material + finish + hardware is the difference between a system that lasts a few seasons and one that performs for decades. This guide compares the top gutter materials for coastal and inland Florida, with clear pros/cons, lifespan expectations, and storm-ready specs. What Florida Weather Does to Gutters Materials at a Glance (Florida Use) Seamless Aluminum Gutters (Most Popular) Why Florida likes it: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and extruded on-site for long, leak-free runs. Vast color options to match fascia and soffits. Pros Cons Best Practices (FL) Best fit: Inland and coastal—coastal requires premium coil, sealants, and hardware. Copper Gutters (Premium Coastal Performer) Why Florida likes it: Copper resists corrosion naturally and ages into a protective patina—ideal for salt, humidity, and storms. Pros Cons Best Practices (FL) Best fit: Coastal luxury builds and long-term owners prioritizing lifespan over initial cost. Galvalume / Galvanized Steel (Strength with Caveats) Why Florida uses it: Stiffer than aluminum; can resist impacts and ladder dents. However, salt exposure is the Achilles’ heel. Pros Cons
Signs Your Gutters Are Too Small for Tampa Homes (2025)
When Tampa’s afternoon thunderstorms hit, a right-sized gutter system should move water quietly and quickly away from your home. If your gutters are too small, you’ll see it—and feel it—in overflow, stains, and puddles that threaten your foundation. This guide shows you how to diagnose undersized gutters, why it happens in Tampa Bay, and the smartest fixes (including when to step up to 7″ seamless gutters). Why Gutter Size Matters in Tampa’s Downpours Quick Self-Assessment (2-Minute Checklist) Use this anytime it’s raining—or right after: If you check 2+ boxes, your system is likely undersized or under-drained for Tampa storms. 7 Clear Signs Your Gutters Are Too Small (With Tampa Context) 1) Frequent Edge Overflow During Heavy Rain Classic symptom in summer thunderstorms. If it only happens where two roof planes meet, your valley discharge is overwhelming the trough. 2) Stains on Fascia/Siding (Tiger-Striping) Mineral-laden water running over the gutter face leaves brown/black stripes and mildew—evidence of consistent spillover. 3) Pooling Water Along the Slab After every storm, you find puddles hugging the foundation, especially near downspout terminations. That’s a red flag for undercapacity or too few downspouts. 4) Landscaping Erosion & Washed Mulch Beds beneath the eaves look blasted. This
