FAQ

Common reader questions

Do coastal homes always need more cleaning?

Not always, but coastal exposure can make cleaning or inspection more relevant on some properties than on inland sites.

Is maintenance only about visible dirt?

No. The broader system condition matters too, which is why inspections and performance review belong in the conversation.

Why not just use a generic maintenance schedule?

Because exposure, roof access, and nearby conditions vary widely from one property to another.
