Carpentry has long been a significant part of Florida’s architectural heritage. Historically, carpenters were integral in building wooden homes and structures in the region. As Florida grew, residential carpentry evolved, offering innovative designs and practical solutions to the state’s specific needs.
According to the Florida Historical Society, carpenters played a key role in the settling of Florida, constructing the timber-framed houses and structures that laid the foundation for modern Florida homes.
As awareness of environmental concerns rises, green carpentry practices are becoming more popular. Homeowners are opting for eco-friendly wood products, such as reclaimed wood and sustainable lumber, to reduce their carbon footprint. Sustainable Florida highlights the growing trend of using eco-conscious materials in construction and carpentry projects.

Florida’s humid climate and occasional storms can cause wear and tear on outdoor structures like decks. Common signs that your deck may need repair or replacement include loose boards, rot or decay, damaged railings, and mold growth. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have a professional inspect them.
For Florida decking, we recommend using pressure-treated wood, composite materials, or PVC decking due to their durability and resistance to moisture. These materials are ideal for withstanding Florida’s humid climate and the wear from sun and rain.
Hardwood flooring offers a classic, timeless look and adds significant value to your home. However, it can be more susceptible to humidity changes, which is important to consider in Florida’s climate. On the other hand, engineered wood flooring is more durable and resistant to changes in temperature and moisture.
