Exterior Repairs in South Miami, FL

South Miami homes from the 50s and 60s have character worth preserving, and that includes the exterior. Cracked stucco, worn fascia, and damaged soffits all need repair, but the work has to respect the original architecture. We approach South Miami exterior repairs with care for what makes these homes special. Original stucco on mid-century South Miami homes is often thicker than what you find on newer builds. Repairing it means matching the thickness, the texture, and the color. We use traditional techniques when needed and can recreate the hand-applied finishes found on many homes in the area. Wood fascia on older South Miami houses is often original to the build. Some of it has detailed profiles or decorative shapes that you cannot buy at a hardware store. When possible, we repair rather than replace, preserving the original millwork. When replacement is necessary, we match the profile as closely as possible using custom-milled material. Soffit work on these homes sometimes reveals original wood planking instead of modern aluminum or vinyl panels. We repair wood soffits when the material is in good enough condition to save. Otherwise, we install appropriate replacement material that fits the home's style. Water intrusion around original jalousie windows and old door frames is common in South Miami. These older opening types were not sealed as well as modern windows. We improve the weatherproofing while keeping the historic look intact.
