Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and La Porte is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. Rot here is usually a water-path problem, so we find the source before closing it up.
