Long-Term Performance Specifications for High End Homes in Lake Worth's Environment
The South Florida coastal environment imposes specific demands on building materials that are not always apparent at the time of specification but become very apparent over the years following occupancy. Salt air, humidity, UV exposure, and the storm conditions that South Florida periodically produces all accelerate the degradation of materials that were not selected with these conditions in mind. A high end home that was built with prestige finishes but without attention to long-term performance in the Lake Worth environment will require expensive remediation on a timeline that undermines the investment the owner made.
Cannatelli Builders approaches specification for high end homes in Lake Worth with long-term performance as a primary criterion alongside aesthetics and cost. For clients building a significant residence, the difference between a material that holds its quality for twenty years and one that requires replacement or maintenance within five is a real financial and practical consideration that an experienced high end home builder factors into the design-build process as a matter of course.
