• Start with protection: roofing, flashing, drainage, and water management come before cosmetic upgrades.

• Coastal durability is about systems: paint + prep, fasteners + coatings, flashing + drainage.

• Window and door upgrades can improve comfort, noise control, and energy performance.

• Exterior projects often pair well with outdoor living upgrades (decks, patios, lighting).

• A clear scope and inspection plan prevents “surprise repairs” during construction.
