Frequently Asked Questions

  • What areas does Construction and Remodeling by L & L Inc. serve?

    We serve homeowners in Cocoa, Florida and the surrounding area, including nearby Space Coast communities. If you are unsure whether your property falls within our service area, give us a call and we will gladly let you know.

  • Can one company handle my interior and exterior projects?

    Yes. Our team handles remodeling, painting, stucco, drywall, carpentry, flooring, fencing, concrete, driveways, and paving. Working with one company keeps your projects coordinated, simplifies scheduling, and gives you a single point of contact throughout your project.

  • How do you handle Florida humidity and storms in your work?

    We choose materials suited to coastal conditions, install proper waterproofing and drainage details, and schedule outdoor work around afternoon storms and heat. These steps help finishes, stucco, concrete, and paint perform well for many years.

  • Do you work on both small repairs and large renovations?

    Absolutely. We handle everything from a single drywall patch or fence repair to complete kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. Every project, regardless of size, receives the same careful preparation and attention to detail from our experienced team.

  • How do I get started with my project?

    Call us at 321-258-7083 or send a message through our website. We will discuss your goals, schedule a visit to review your property, and provide a detailed estimate that explains the scope, materials, and timeline.

  • Does hurricane season affect when I should schedule exterior work?

    It can. Painting, stucco, concrete, and fencing are easiest to schedule outside the peak of hurricane season, roughly August through October. We plan exterior projects around forecasts and secure materials when storms threaten the Space Coast.

  • Why does stucco crack after a big storm?

    Wind-driven rain, flying debris, and pressure changes can open existing hairline cracks or create new ones. Water then enters the wall behind the stucco, so inspecting and sealing cracks soon after storms helps prevent hidden moisture damage.

  • Can salt air from the Indian River Lagoon damage my home's exterior?

    Yes. Salt carried on coastal winds settles on paint, metal fasteners, and fencing, speeding fading and corrosion. Regular rinsing, quality coatings, and corrosion-resistant hardware help exteriors in Cocoa, Florida hold up much longer between repairs.

  • Is luxury vinyl plank a good choice for a Florida slab home?

    Often, yes. Luxury vinyl plank handles humidity, spills, and sand well, but concrete slabs can release moisture. Checking slab conditions and following the manufacturer's vapor and underlayment requirements helps prevent cupping, gapping, and warranty problems.

  • What should I do if I find termite damage during a remodel?

    Stop and have active termites treated by a licensed pest control company first. We then remove damaged wood, check surrounding framing, and replace compromised materials so new finishes are not built over hidden structural weakness.

  • How do I make a bathroom safer for aging in place?

    Curbless or low-threshold showers, grab bars backed with solid blocking, comfort-height toilets, slip-resistant flooring, and wider doorways all help. Planning these features during a remodel costs less than adding them later and keeps the design attractive.

  • Are pavers or concrete better for sandy Brevard County soil?

    Both work when the base is prepared properly. Pavers flex with minor soil movement and allow individual repairs, while concrete offers a smooth surface at lower cost. Compacted base and drainage matter more than material choice.

  • Will a remodel require a permit in Brevard County?

    Structural changes, new electrical or plumbing work, and many exterior projects usually require permits. Cosmetic updates like painting often do not. We coordinate permits and inspections when needed, so your project meets local requirements from start to finish.

  • Which updates add the most value before selling a Cocoa home?

    Fresh interior paint, updated flooring, kitchen and bathroom refreshes, and repairs buyers notice first, such as stucco cracks or soft wood, often deliver strong returns. We help sellers prioritize updates that make homes show well without overspending.

  • Should moisture behind drywall be addressed before remodeling?

    Absolutely. In humid Florida homes, past leaks can leave wet insulation, mold, or rotted framing behind walls. With 10 years of experience, our team identifies and corrects moisture problems first, so your remodel starts on a sound, dry foundation.
