The Three Systems That Protect an Island Home
Roofing
Whether you are replacing an aging shingle roof or upgrading to standing-seam metal, the deck comes first: renailed sheathing, sealed seams, and a peel-and-stick secondary water barrier so that even a shingle blown loose does not become a ceiling stain. We photograph every stage so your wind-mitigation inspection is a formality, not a fight.
Siding, Soffit, and Fascia
Salt air destroys ordinary fasteners and finishes, so we spec fiber cement cladding, PVC trim, and marine-appropriate hardware for every wall we touch — Gulf-facing or canal-facing. The bay side of town is gentler than the beachfront, but only slightly, and we detail both the same way. On elevated homes, we also clad and vent the understory correctly, a detail we find botched here more often than any other.
Impact Windows and Doors
Replacing corroded aluminum frames with impact-rated units means storm protection that is always deployed, plus noticeably cooler rooms during the long summer and quieter nights near the beach access crowds.
Why Redington Shores Homeowners Choose Alpine
We have completed more than 2,000 exterior projects, and coastal work is where our habits matter most:
- Materials rated for salt exposure — no bare galvanized hardware a block from the Gulf
- Code-first installation — Florida's high-wind requirements treated as a floor, not a ceiling
- Insurance-ready records — documentation that supports mitigation credits and claims
- Respect for tight island lots — careful staging, protected pavers, thorough cleanup
Every project begins with a free on-site estimate. We climb the roof, probe the fascia, check the window frames for corrosion bloom, and give you a written plan ranked by urgency — because on a barrier island, knowing what can wait is as valuable as knowing what cannot.
And when the work is done, it stays our responsibility: a 25-year workmanship warranty covers every installation. If your home between the Gulf and the bay needs a stronger shell, we are ready to walk it with you.
