Living near the Gulf means constant salt spray on your siding, roof, and cage. Here's what it does and how to stay ahead of it.
If you live near the water in Sarasota, your home is under a slow, steady assault from salt. Salt spray carried on the Gulf breeze settles on every exterior surface, drawing moisture, feeding mildew, and leaving a chalky film that dulls paint and etches glass and aluminum over time.
Screen enclosures and pool cages, aluminum railings, window tracks, and north-facing walls take the worst of it, because they stay damp and shaded. Left alone, the salt film mixes with algae and mildew into the gray-green haze you see on so many coastal homes.
The fix is regular, gentle cleaning — not high pressure, which drives salt and water into seams. A soft-wash house washing in Sarasota rinses the salt film and kills the mildew at once, and homes right on the water often need it every 9 to 12 months.
