Hurricane season (Jun-Nov): Major driver of roofing/fence demand. High humidity year-round: Wood rot, rust concerns. Heavy rainfall: Drainage critical for driveways. Subtropical heat: Material expansion, worker scheduling. Flooding risk: Some areas require elevated structures. Termites: Treated wood essential. Recommended fence materials: Vinyl excels in LA humidity (no rot, no termites); Aluminum resists rust better than steel; Pressure-treated pine minimum for wood.
