Tiki Hut Services in the Florida Keys
Custom Tiki Hut Construction
Transform your Keys property with a custom-designed tiki hut that captures authentic island essence while providing practical shade and gathering spaces. We design and build structures specifically engineered for the Keys’ marine environment, from intimate residential tikis to expansive commercial installations. Each project incorporates marine-grade materials selected specifically for saltwater exposure, enhanced structural engineering for the Keys’ wind considerations, and authentic design elements that complement the islands’ unique character.
Our Florida Keys tiki huts blend traditional craftsmanship with specialized coastal construction techniques, creating structures that are both beautiful and built to last in this demanding maritime environment.
Tiki Hut Repair & Rethatching
The combination of salt air, intense UV exposure, and occasional severe weather can take a toll on tiki structures in the Keys. Our specialized repair services address these unique challenges with comprehensive assessments and expert repairs for storm damage restoration, structural reinforcement, salt damage remediation, and water intrusion issues. Our repair specialists understand the specific deterioration patterns common in the Keys and provide solutions that not only fix current issues but enhance future durability.
The intense sun and salt exposure in the Florida Keys typically accelerates thatch weathering, often requiring rethatching every 3-5 years. Our specialized Keys rethatching service uses premium-quality palm thatch selected for saltwater resistance, with enhanced installation techniques for maximum wind resistance and higher-density thatching for extended lifespan in this demanding environment.
