Service area
St. Johns County, and 40 miles around St. Augustine
Five pages, and each of them turns on something only true there: the build era of the kitchens, whether the air carries salt, whether the duct had a straight run to the outside wall, and how long it takes a van to reach the street.
Places, and what fails in them
-
Palencia
32095
Built from the 2000s onward (inland)
Palencia's kitchens were drawn around the appliances, so the installation faults we meet downtown are largely absent. What replaces them is the building envelope: a hood cannot move air the house will not let in.
-
World Golf Village
32092
Built from the 2000s onward (inland)
The kitchens out here are large, open and island-centred, which is pleasant to cook in and hard to ventilate. Most of what we are called out for follows from the layout and the envelope rather than the appliance.
-
Old city, 32084
32084
1900s–1930s, kitchens remodelled since (coastal)
Downtown kitchens were laid out for a 30-inch range and a window. Almost everything we are called out for in 32084 follows from that: openings, floors, borrowed circuits, and ducting through masonry.
-
Davis Shores
32080
Mid-1920s plan, houses built out later (coastal)
Laid out in the mid-1920s and largely built out much later, Davis Shores puts current appliances into old shells. The recurring faults here are installation faults, plus everything salt air does.
-
Marsh Creek
32080
Purpose-built, planned around the appliances (coastal)
Gated, purpose-built and set on the salt marsh behind A1A South. The kitchens here were designed around the appliances, so what goes wrong is corrosion, ventilation pressure, and the outdoor equipment.
