An annual maintenance visit for a Clearwater coastal home — replaced corroded hardware, re-caulked all windows and doors, serviced sliding glass doors and fixed 3 minor issues.
The Challenge
The Clearwater homeowners had noticed accelerating corrosion on their exterior hardware, bubbling caulk at windows and stiff sliding glass doors that had become progressively harder to operate — all classic signs of coastal wear.
Our Solution
We inspected the entire exterior and interior systematically. We replaced 8 corroded exterior hinge sets and 3 door handles, stripped and re-caulked all 11 windows and 2 exterior doors, serviced 3 sliding glass doors (cleaned tracks, replaced rollers on 2, lubricated all), and repaired 2 minor interior items flagged during the walk-through.
The Result
The homeowners now schedule an annual maintenance visit every October before hurricane season. They've prevented 3 potentially expensive problems (a corroded lock that was about to fail, a sliding door about to jump its track, and a window caulk failure that could have led to water intrusion).

Questions About This Project
How often should a Clearwater home near the water be maintained?
Salt air homes benefit from annual maintenance inspections — usually spring or fall. Catching corrosion and caulk failures early costs a fraction of what full replacements run when issues are deferred.
