When to re-thatch
Signs include thinning coverage, visible gaps, sagging rooflines, or leaks after storms. Natural thatch typically needs re-thatching sooner than synthetic in high-UV or high-moisture areas.

Frame inspection first
Before re-thatching, we inspect posts, beams, and connections. Rotten wood gets replaced so you're not putting new thatch on a failing structure.
Matching existing style
We match thatch type and trim details so repairs blend with your existing hut or related structures on the property.
FAQ
How often should a tiki hut be re-thatched?
Natural thatch may need attention every 5–8 years in harsh Florida conditions. Synthetic thatch lasts significantly longer with periodic inspection.
Can I switch from natural to synthetic when re-thatching?
Yes. Many homeowners upgrade to synthetic during re-thatching for lower maintenance and longer lifespan.
