Why Miami homes get this: Termite pressure (Formosan and subterranean) is among the highest in the US — Miami requires preventative treatment certificates for new wood-frame construction and ongoing inspections for older homes. High humidity and salt air degrade exterior trim, soffits, and pergolas faster than inland regions; impact-rated wood doors and shutters must meet Miami-Dade NOA standards.
