Forget what you used to do or know, Florida is different. 30 year roofs last 20, most stucco needs to be cleaned from mildew just like frame. Anything the builder told you should do he is the expert. Animals. Bugs, lawn care and houses are all different here. Good Luck. Agree with those that said builder paint is crap.

THIS is true.....not familiar with painting stucco as we have a vinyl-sided home but all the rest he/she said is true about living here. It's a learning curve for sure. Landscaping---the follage grows exponentially so be aware of that as well. What we knew "up north" more or less is put aside.
