Hobe Sound

Hobe Sound is two different building types in one ZIP code, and they fail in completely different ways. Roughly one in three homes here is manufactured, and those fail from underneath. The belly wrap holds water, the ducts in the belly sweat, and the seam along the marriage line leaks. Vinyl on gypsum wall panels trap moisture behind the vinyl, so the stain you can see is almost always smaller than the damage you cannot. On the other side you have Jupiter Island and the Intracoastal frontage, where salt air off the ocean and South Jupiter Narrows corrodes air conditioning coils and rusts through condensate pans years earlier than inland. The stick built stock around Zeus Park, Gomez and Heritage Ridge has a median build year of 1983, which puts it squarely in the polybutylene and original ductwork window. We are about thirty road miles north of West Palm Beach on I-95.
