St. Petersburg is the largest city in Pinellas County, with homes ranging from midcentury bungalows to new construction. Tell us what your enclosure needs, and we'll connect you with the contractor who serves the area.
Repair, rescreen, or replace
What matters is the frame's actual condition, not how old the house is. Straight aluminum, sound fasteners, and footings that haven't moved mean rescreening is usually the right job. Bent uprights, corroded hardware, or a racked frame point to repair or replacement.
After a hard storm, check the frame first
Recent hurricane seasons have brought gusts of up to 101 mph to St. Petersburg, and plenty of neighbors know how hard that can be on a home. Storms like that can bend members, loosen hardware, and shift footings without making it obvious. If your cage has torn panels, a door that no longer latches, or a section that looks out of line, keep people clear and let the contractor evaluate the structure before any new screen goes up.
Between the bay and the Gulf
St. Petersburg sits on the Pinellas peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf. If your home is close to the water, salt air is worth mentioning, since it's hard on hardware over time. Near the water, 20×20 no-see-um screen is also worth considering, since tiny biting midges breed in coastal marshes and mangroves.
St. Petersburg runs its own permit office
St. Petersburg has its own building department, so enclosure permits here go through the city rather than Pinellas County, under the city's own fee schedule. Rescreening an existing enclosure is exempt from permits in most cases, while frame repairs, replacement, and new enclosures typically need one. Your contractor handles the filing.
How to get started

Frequently asked questions
Does St. Petersburg use the county permit office?
No. The city runs its own building department, and your contractor files any required permit with the city.
Our cage made it through a hurricane with torn screen. Can we just rescreen?
Possibly, but the frame needs to be checked first. Storm damage isn't always visible, and new screen on a damaged frame won't hold up.
Our home is older. Is the enclosure automatically a replacement?
No. Condition decides, not age. A straight, sound frame can take new screen.
Do you serve all of St. Petersburg?
Yes. The same local contractor serves the whole city and the rest of Pinellas County.
