Our structures are engineered specifically for South Florida’s unique climate challenges, from intense sun and humidity to occasional tropical storms. Each Miami tiki project features premium materials selected for optimal performance in Miami’s climate, structural engineering that meets or exceeds Miami-Dade County building codes, and custom designs that complement Miami’s distinctive architectural styles. Professional fire retardant treatment comes standard as a safety feature, with meticulous craftsmanship from experienced tiki specialists.
Whether you’re creating a backyard oasis, enhancing your poolside, or developing a signature commercial space, our Miami tiki huts deliver the perfect blend of beauty and durability.
Tiki Hut Repair & Rethatching
Miami’s combination of intense sun, high humidity, and occasional severe weather can take a toll on tiki structures. Our specialized repair services address these unique challenges with comprehensive structure assessments, post and beam repairs or replacements, water damage remediation, storm damage restoration, and structural reinforcement. Our repair specialists understand the specific deterioration patterns common in Miami’s climate and provide solutions that enhance future durability.
Miami’s intense sun and humidity typically accelerate the weathering of tiki thatch, often requiring rethatching every 4-6 years. Our specialized Miami rethatching service uses premium-quality palm thatch selected for optimal performance, with enhanced installation techniques for maximum wind resistance and higher-density thatching for extended lifespan. Optional synthetic thatch alternatives provide reduced maintenance for those seeking longer intervals between rethatching.
Commercial Tiki Structures
Miami’s hospitality industry thrives on creating distinctive tropical environments that attract and delight customers. We provide specialized commercial tiki structures for hotels and resorts, restaurants and bars, beach clubs and marinas, event venues, and rental properties. Our commercial tiki projects combine authentic aesthetics with commercial-grade durability, creating signature tropical spaces that enhance your business while withstanding the demands of commercial use.
