Recent $5K fire-place renovation. Convenient 1 hour drive to Tampa/St. Pete, 2.5 hrs to Orlando, and 3 hrs to Miami; Why PECKY CYPRESS? Distinctive Aesthetic -Pecky cypress has natural, irregular pocketing or hollow streaks caused by a fungus that attacks the tree’s heartwood. This creates a weathered, textured look that gives homes a warm, old-world character; Durability & Rot Resistance - Cypress is naturally resistant to rot, moisture, and insects (especially termites), making it ideal for humid or wet environments like FL; Low Maintenance - Because of its resistance to decay, pecky cypress requires less upkeep compared to other wood types; Historical & Coastal Appeal - Pecky cypress was commonly used in older FL homes, particularly in the 1920s-50s, and is associated with classic Southern, coastal, and even mid-century architecture; Unique & High-End Appeal - It’s not mass-produced like other woods, so it adds a custom, one-of-a-kind touch to homes, making them feel more luxurious and distinctive.
