Why St. Augustine surfaces need special care
No other city in Florida has the same concentration of historic building materials as St. Augustine. Coquina stone, which is a sedimentary rock made of compressed shells, is porous and soft. High pressure will erode it. Old lime stucco on historic buildings is not the same as modern Portland cement stucco. Old painted wood on Victorian-era structures is often original and irreplaceable.
Even in the newer residential neighborhoods outside the historic core, St. Augustine properties deal with heavy humidity from the Matanzas River and the Atlantic coast, salt air in the beach communities and significant shade from mature trees in older areas like Lincolnville and the St. Augustine South neighborhoods.
- Historic district buildings with coquina and old lime stucco need soft wash only
- Coastal homes near the beach get salt air and need more frequent washing
- Matanzas River humidity feeds algae on east-facing and shaded walls
- Lincolnville and older St. Augustine neighborhoods have historic wood siding
- Newer communities like Palencia and World Golf Village have standard modern siding
