Exterior home care in Mandarin.Riverfront homes under the moss.
Mandarin's riverfront homes sit under live oaks and Spanish moss along the east bank of the St. Johns. It is beautiful and it is hard on a house: shade, moisture and constant debris. A Freedom Exterior membership keeps the outside of the home on a schedule, ahead of the damage.
What Mandarin asks of a house
Oak and moss debris
Leaves, moss and tassels settle on roofs and in gutters year-round. Left there, they hold water against the roof.
River humidity
Riverfront homes stay damp longer. Shaded walls, soffits and screens show mildew first.
Docks and boathouses
River docks and boathouses gray and grow slick. Members keep them safe underfoot and looking the way they were built.
A membership here
Plans under heavy tree cover lean toward the roof, gutters and shaded elevations, with the riverside of the house kept in the same rhythm as the front.
A house can carry dozens of different materials on the outside, and every one of them is cared for as its own thing, roof to curb, so it looks right not just the day after a visit but in ten, twenty and thirty years. When we find something that should be repaired, we tell you while it is small, and we can take care of it for you. Repairs are priced separately from membership. How exterior home management works.
Surfaces we see most in Mandarin
How membership works
The assessment
Kalen Yeager, our founder, walks the property with you, then assesses every surface on his own. It is complimentary.
The plan
Four Season Membership: four visits a year, one each season, built around how your house weathers. Some homes want more.
The record
Every visit is photographed and kept in one record of the house, so wear reads as a trend and repairs are caught while they are small.
Questions from Mandarin homeowners
How often should a roof under oaks be cleaned?
It depends on the roof and the canopy. Kalen sets the schedule at the assessment. Under heavy cover, roofs are usually part of more visits.
