Wimauma is really two towns wearing one name. There is the old Wimauma along State Road 674 and US 301 — frame cottages and farmhouses from its agricultural days, some approaching a century old — and there is the new Wimauma spreading across former tomato and strawberry fields, with block-and-stucco subdivisions filling in between Sun City Center and Balm. Alpine Exteriors works on both, and after 25 years of exterior remodeling we can tell you they fail in completely different ways.
What Inland Hillsborough Weather Does to a House
Wimauma does not get salt air, but it gets everything else Florida serves: months of hammering UV that chalks paint and embrittles shingles, near-daily summer thunderstorms that test every flashing detail, humidity that feeds mildew on shaded north walls, and the outer wind field of every hurricane that crosses the state. The older wood-sided homes near the town center suffer moisture and insect damage at the ground line; the newer stucco homes develop cracking, failed sealant joints, and — most expensively — roofs that insurers start questioning right around year fifteen.
Three Systems, One Contractor
We handle the three exterior systems that decide whether a Wimauma home stays dry, insurable, and efficient.
Roofing. Shingle and metal replacement built to current Florida wind-uplift code, with sealed underlayment and documented installation your insurance carrier can actually use. If a wind-mitigation inspection is part of your renewal battle, a properly documented re-roof is usually the single biggest lever you have.
Siding and stucco-side repairs. For the frame houses of old Wimauma we install fiber cement — it ignores humidity, resists pests, and holds paint through the UV assault far longer than wood. On newer homes we replace failing soffits, fascia, and gable cladding before water finds the trusses.
Windows. Impact-rated and insulated replacements that do double duty: hurricane protection without wrestling shutters up before every storm, and a real drop in cooling bills for houses that face the afternoon sun across open former farmland with no tree cover to soften it.
- Hurricane-conscious installation standards on every roof, wall, and opening — not just the ones being inspected
- Permits and inspections handled through Hillsborough County from start to finish
- Materials chosen for UV and humidity, the two forces that age Wimauma exteriors fastest
- One crew accountable for the whole envelope, so roof, wall, and window details actually meet correctly
Why Neighbors Call Us First
We have completed more than 2,000 projects across the region, and we back the labor on every one with a 25-year workmanship warranty — a commitment that outlasts most roof materials, let alone most contractors.

No storm-chaser pressure, no leased trucks from out of state — just a straight assessment from a company that will still be here for your next project.
