Question 1

How often does thatch need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Natural thatch typically needs re-thatching every 5–8 years, depending on exposure. Structures under trees or in areas with heavy moisture may need attention sooner. We offer inspection services to help you plan ahead.

Question 2

Can you re-thatch with synthetic materials instead of natural?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients upgrade to synthetic thatch during re-thatching. It's a straightforward retrofit — we remove the old natural thatch and install synthetic panels on the same frame.

Question 3

Do you repair damaged posts and frames?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We repair or replace rotted posts, damaged cross-beams, and any structural component. If the frame is sound, we can refresh the entire structure for a fraction of the cost of building new.

Question 4

How much does re-thatching cost?

Accepted Answer

Re-thatching costs depend on the size of the structure and the material. Natural thatch re-thatching typically runs $1,500–$5,000. Synthetic upgrades are higher but last decades longer.

Question 5

Can you repair a palapa I didn't originally buy from you?

Accepted Answer

Of course. We repair and re-thatch structures regardless of who built them. We'll inspect the frame and give you an honest assessment of what's needed.
