South Florida Countertop Guide: Condos, Coastal Homes and Outdoor Kitchens

Countertop projects in South Florida raise questions that general guides rarely cover. Many homes are condos, where the association can set its own approval steps, contractor insurance requirements and work hours, and where slabs reach the unit by freight elevator.

Outdoor kitchens and lanais face strong sun, heat and humidity for most of the year, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The guides below cover these local conditions.
