WHY PALAPA MAINTENANCE MATTERS
Your palapa is constantly exposed to sun, wind rain and humidity — especially along the Texas Gulf Coast. Without proper maintenance, even the best built palapas will begin to thin, fade, and break down over time.
Routine maintenance helps extend the life of your palapa, preserve its full tropical look, and prevent costly repairs or full replacement.

Is material coming off during wind or storms? It's time
to schedule maintenance.
FADING OR
DISCOLORATION
Is does it appear to have a dry, brittle, gray appearance? It's time to schedule maintenance.
