Coastal conditions are real (even if your house is “a few miles in”)

Salt air and coastal humidity can accelerate wear on certain metals and finishes. That doesn’t mean you can’t build something beautiful—it means you choose the right materials (or protective coatings), and you detail things correctly.
Examples:
- Exterior hardware and fasteners: specify corrosion‑resistant options.
- Window/door seals: choose products that can handle sun + moisture without failing early.
- Outdoor living: plan for wind, UV exposure, and drainage so the space stays comfortable year‑round.
