Older, out-of-square openings
In a city where 75% of homes are decades old, openings are rarely perfectly square. Wood can be lightly sanded to fit at install; vinyl and most coated composites can't.
A wet climate
65.1 inches of rain a year means humid spells indoors too. Painted wood handles humidity in a ventilated room; what it can't take is water landing on it. Keep wood out of shower spray, and run the bathroom fan.
Wood in Hollywood's homes
75% of Hollywood's homes were built before 1980, and the median home dates from 1969. In a town of older houses, wood trim and casings are the norm, and painted poplar matches them.
The median home is valued at $410,600 by its owners. In Miami Gardens, 7 miles away, the median is $378,500, lower than here.
