Soffit Repair and Exterior Painting in Hudson, FL 34667
Hudson's coastal homes lose soffit and fascia to wind, salt and nesting critters. We rebuild the eaves, then repaint the whole outside so it holds up to Gulf weather.

Hudson has a split personality. West of US 19 you find canal homes and older block houses close to the salt marsh and Hudson Beach. East of US 19 and up along the Suncoast Parkway the homes are newer and further from the water. Both share one weak spot: the eaves.
On older houses the wood fascia rots where the gutter traps water, and vented soffit panels crack or sag. That opens the attic to wind driven rain, squirrels and bees. We replace the bad boards, install new soffit, and seal it all before the repaint, so the new paint has solid wood under it.
Salt marsh and coastal wind
Close to the water in Hudson, the wind off the Gulf is steady and carries salt. You see it in rusted screws on soffit vents, faded fascia, and gutters pulling away. Homes here also get hit first when a tropical system comes up the coast.
We use stainless or coated fasteners on coastal trim work and pick exterior paints that hold color under strong sun. On the newer inland homes, the job is usually simpler: a first repaint over builder paint that has started to chalk.

Questions from Hudson homeowners
Why do soffit panels on Hudson homes keep falling down?
Most were installed with fasteners that rusted out in the salt air, or the fascia behind them rotted and lost its grip. We fix the wood first, then reinstall soffit with corrosion resistant fasteners.
Do you replace wood soffit with aluminum or vinyl?
We can do either. Aluminum soffit holds up well near the coast and does not rot. If you want to keep wood for the look, we use primed boards and paint them on all sides.
Can you check for animal damage while you are up on the eaves?
Yes. We point out gnaw holes, nests and gaps as we work. We seal the openings we repair, but if animals are still living in the attic, have them removed before we close it up.
How long does an exterior repaint with soffit work take in Hudson?
A single story home with some eave repair usually takes four to seven working days, depending on how much wood needs replacing and the afternoon rain.
