1) Salt air and coastal moisture
Salt in the air accelerates corrosion on unprotected metal and can shorten the life of exterior hardware, railings, fasteners, and even some appliance components in ocean-view homes.
What helps:
- Stainless steel or higher-grade corrosion-resistant hardware where it matters
- Powder-coated or properly finished exterior metals
- Better ventilation strategies (bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas)
- Exterior paint systems designed for coastal exposure
