Frequently Asked Questions

Mineral buildup and corrosion from coastal water are the most common issues. Salt air accelerates fitting deterioration, especially around faucets, supply lines, and drain connections. At MD Home Solutions, we use quality corrosion-resistant fittings and marine-grade sealants to extend fixture life in the Keys.

Salt spray and humidity rapidly corrode standard fasteners and rot untreated wood. Deck boards, joists, and rails near the water require stainless or galvanized hardware and UV-rated coatings. MD Home Solutions replaces compromised sections with coastal-rated materials to ensure safe, long-lasting results.

Sun, salt, and humidity fade and crack exterior paint every 3–5 years along the waterfront. Signs include chalking, peeling, or color loss on trim and siding. At MD Home Solutions, we apply moisture- and salt-resistant coatings after thorough prep to maximize durability in coastal conditions.
