Looking for home additions in St. Petersburg? LRG Contractors Group is a licensed Florida general contractor serving St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County — from Historic Old Northeast, Kenwood, Downtown / Central Avenue and beyond. Room additions, primary suites, and second stories that look original to the home.
When moving up means agent commissions, closing costs, and a bigger mortgage, adding on is often the smarter play — especially in established Tampa Bay neighborhoods where the right addition returns more than a relocation. The key is an addition that looks like it was always there, not bolted on.
For St. Petersburg specifically, it comes down to local realities: St. Pete's split between protected 1920s historic bungalows and low-lying waterfront blocks means the right remodel in Old Northeast is the wrong one in Shore Acres — we scope to the home's era and its flood exposure, not a template. St. Petersburg runs its own building department under the Florida Building Code; bungalow districts add historic-character considerations, and waterfront blocks like Shore Acres sit in FEMA flood zones where substantial-improvement and elevation rules can apply. We design to those rules from day one. We design and permit your home additions around exactly those conditions.

Home Additions cost
Typical Tampa Bay ranges, not a quote. Additions price by square footage, structural complexity, wind-load requirements, and foundation work. Second stories cost more because the floor below must be reinforced. You get a fixed proposal after design.
