STRUCTURAL REPAIRS
Tiki Hut Structural Repair & Post Replacement
A tiki hut is only as strong as its posts, beams, and hardware. Sagging roofs, wobbly structures, and leaning posts are signs the frame — not just the thatch — needs professional repair. We diagnose structural issues before re-thatching so your investment lasts.
Structural tiki hut repairs include post replacement, sistering or swapping rotted beams, ridge reinforcement, hurricane tie upgrades, and re-leveling settled footings. Florida ground moisture, sprinkler overspray, and salt corrosion are the most common culprits.
Fixing structure first prevents new thatch from sagging, pooling water, and failing prematurely. We never recommend re-thatching over a compromised frame.

Structural Repairs FAQ
How do I know if my tiki hut posts are rotted?
Signs include soft wood at ground level, visible cracks, leaning posts, or a roof that dips in the center. We inspect posts during every estimate — text photos of the base and any sagging areas.
Can you fix a leaning tiki hut without rebuilding?
Often yes. Leaning is frequently caused by one or two failed posts or settled footings. Targeted post replacement and re-leveling can save the entire structure.
Do structural repairs require a permit in Florida?
Permit requirements vary by county and scope. As a licensed Florida contractor (CBC1264013), we handle permitting when required for your project.
