Outdoor and exterior projects in Florida have to survive a 4-season climate that swings from sub-zero January nights to 95°F July afternoons, plus coastal salt exposure on the South Shore, Cape, and Islands. ENERGY STAR windows qualify for Florida Energy rebates of $50–$100 per window — most homeowners replacing windows skip this rebate because their installer doesn't file. We're Andersen and Pella certified, Trex installer authorized for composite decking, and bundle outdoor projects with siding, roofing, and insulation when scope overlaps make sense.
Why Florida Outdoor Is Different
- Florida Energy windows are real money. $50–$100 per ENERGY STAR window. A 12-window replacement project = $600–$1,200 cash back. Most window companies don't bother filing.
- Florida Energy Code triggers triple-pane. 14 Florida municipalities adopted the Florida Energy Code requiring high-performance windows in major renovations. We stock triple-pane Andersen and Pella for these jurisdictions.
- Freeze-thaw destroys decks fast. Pressure-treated framing rots in 12–18 years; composite (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) lasts 25–40+. The premium pays back in FL's brutal climate.
- Coastal homes need fiber-cement, not vinyl. Salt air destroys vinyl siding, painted wood doors, and budget windows. James Hardie fiber cement is the durable answer for South Shore, Cape, and Islands.

Cross-Trade Coordination
- Window replacement + wall insulation + air sealing. Removing windows is the perfect window (literally) to drill-and-fill or air-seal exterior walls. Florida Energy rebates stack.
- Window install + siding replacement. Both involve scaffolding and exterior access. Bundle for one mobilization fee.
- Deck + landscape lighting + outdoor outlets. Coordinated low-voltage and 120V wiring during framing phase, before composite decking goes down.
- Driveway + sewer line. Replace sewer lateral before paving. Trenchless options when paving is recent.
