Snowbird to Floridian: A General Contractor Transforms Stuart Homes for Permanent Living

For many years, your Florida home could have served as a warm escape during the winter months from your permanent residence elsewhere in the country. When you decide to make the Sunshine State your permanent address, there are some remodeling considerations to adapt the structure for year-round living. 

The Considerations of Year-Round Living 

A general contractor for Stuart residences, such as Santangelo Construction, understands the different demands on your property when it is no longer occupied seasonally. Considerations begin with the intense summer heat and humidity common in coastal Florida, along with concerns about severe weather, such as hurricanes. 

Needed Remodeling for Your Permanent Occupation 

  • Reinforcing Your Residence: Ensuring your home weather hurricane season often requires more than just storm shutters. Homes can benefit from upgrades such as impact-resistant windows and doors or construction that reinforce entry points to comply with stringent hurricane codes. 
  • Optimizing Outdoor Living: Spaces like the patio may be heavily used during your snowbird visits. When you live in Florida full-time, enhancements to this outdoor living space can improve functionality, such as screened enclosures, outdoor kitchens, and weather-resistant furniture. Our construction team has the chance to enhance your outdoor space.
  • Refreshing the Interior: Short-term visits might not accurately reflect how your home fails to meet your needs. The layout can feel cramped or inconvenient, potentially leading a general contractor to suggest reconfigurations for improved flow, enhanced amenities in spaces like the kitchen and bathroom, or an overall aesthetic upgrade.
