1A — Very Hot-Humid

Typical housing stock: 1970s–1990s (post-Andrew rebuilds common) — Concrete block single-family, high-rise condos, CBS construction

Miami's tropical climate means A/C never stops. Hurricane season (June–November) dominates the maintenance calendar. Salt air corrodes metal fixtures, electrical panels, and roofing hardware. Post-Hurricane Andrew building codes (1994+) are much stricter — pre-Andrew homes need careful inspection.

Local labor market: South Florida labor rates are 20–40% above national average. Post-hurricane demand spikes can make contractors nearly unavailable. Many trades require specific Florida licensing. Verify licenses at myfloridalicense.com.

Seasonal maintenance tip Hurricane prep starts June 1: inspect roof, clear drains, test shutters. Flush A/C drain lines monthly. Check for salt corrosion on exterior electrical annually.
