Exterior Services Available in Cortez

Seamless Gutters

Our on-site fabricated gutters in 6″, 7″, or 8″ profiles eliminate unsightly seams and reduce leak points, channeling rainwater safely away from foundations, patios, and landscaping. Engineered for Cortez’s heavy coastal rains, they preserve your home’s integrity and minimize maintenance over time.

Profile Options: European box, half-round, and high-capacity Super Gutters
Gutter Guards: Leaf Blaster Pro micro-mesh for clog-free performance
Color-Matched Finishes: UV-resistant coatings that resist salt-air fading
Hurricane-Rated Fasteners: Reinforced brackets and hidden hangers for wind zones

Soffit & Fascia

Proper attic ventilation and roofline protection start here. Our vented or solid soffit and heavy-duty fascia boards—available in aluminum, vinyl, or wood—shield rafter tails, prevent moisture buildup, and enhance curb appeal with clean, polished lines.

Vented Soffit: Improves airflow and helps control attic temperature
Solid Soffit: Delivers a streamlined finish where ventilation isn’t required
Custom Fascia: Decorative trim that conceals rafter ends and supports gutters
Salt-Air Coatings: Marine-grade materials formulated for coastal conditions

Screen Rooms & Lanais

Enjoy the outdoors without the bugs or debris in a custom screen room or lanai. Built with coastal-grade framing and durable mesh, our enclosures let in breezes while blocking insects—ideal for Cortez’s back-porches and bayfront decks.

Reinforced Framing: Aluminum engineered for wind and salt corrosion resistance
Mesh Choices: From privacy screening to ultra-fine bug guard fabrics
Hidden Gutters: Integrated channels keep rainwater out of your living area
HOA & Permit Support: We handle all local approvals and inspections

Underground Drainage

Combat soggy lawns, erosion, and standing water with discreet drainage systems tailored to sandy Gulf Coast soils. Our French drains, buried downspout extensions, and custom piping protect foundations and preserve landscaping without detracting from your yard’s appearance.

French Drains: Gravel-filled trenches with perforated pipe for broad coverage
ADS & PVC Piping: Rated for long-term underground use
Gutter Tie-Ins: Direct connections from downspouts for complete water control
Minimal Disruption: Careful installation with landscape restoration

Super Gutters

For properties with lanais, pool cages, or expansive rooflines, Super Gutters provide extra-deep channels and reinforced strength. Convert your existing 5″ gutters or install new 7″ profiles to handle high runoff volumes and structural loads—perfect for Cortez’s heavy storms.

Increased Capacity: Upgrade to handle 25–40% more water flow
Reinforced Fabrication: Thick-wall extrusions cut on-site for a perfect fit
Structural Brackets: Engineered to integrate with enclosure framing
Low-Maintenance Design: Oversized profiles that reduce clogging

Siding

Refresh and fortify your home’s exterior with siding built for coastal durability. Select from vinyl, fiber-cement, or engineered wood options—each offering impact-rated finishes, insulation benefits, and fade-resistant coatings suited to Cortez’s sun and salt air.

Insulated Panels: Enhance energy efficiency and comfort
UV-Stable Finishes: Fade-resistant colors that endure bright sunlight
Storm-Rated Materials: Engineered to meet Florida wind-load standards
Custom Accents: Corner boards, louvers, and trim for a tailored look

Carl did our estimate and worked with us on scope. Laura responded efficiently in the office with questions and scheduling. Installers were friendly, happy, and did good work!

Wow!!!! Remarkable craftsmanship and customer friendly. Carl was on time and provided a very competitive quote; honest and communicated all options well. On installation day, Oliver and Carlos worked meticulously fitting the gutters and downspouts. They also took much time ensuring the gutters fit perfectly under the drip edge of the roof. The team also placed gutter guards on the gutters that historically plugged from tree coverage. I am very pleased with the service!!!!

Professional and very friendly. "Old school" customer care that is so rare and valuable these days. They installed a box gutter, length of house with just barely enough space due to adjacent pergola. project came out beautifully and I would highly recommend them.

We were in desperate need of new gutters and we called Sunlife. They came out within a week and gave us a great price on the quote. We were happy with them from start to finish! The crew that came out to install were polite, worked nonstop until they completed their job and made sure to clean up behind themselves. We love our new gutters! They look great. If you’re looking for new gutters, call them, you will not be disappointed!
