Outdoor Living in St. Petersburg

Lanais, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas that extend your living space outside.

Looking for outdoor living 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. Lanais, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas that extend your living space outside.

Florida living happens outside, and a well-built outdoor space is one of the highest-enjoyment, strong-return investments a Tampa Bay homeowner can make. Done right, a lanai or screened patio becomes a true extension of the house rather than a neglected backyard.

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 outdoor living around exactly those conditions.

Outdoor Living in St. Petersburg — FAQs

Do you offer outdoor living in St. Petersburg?

Yes — St. Petersburg is part of our core Pinellas County service area. We handle outdoor living for St. Petersburg homeowners end to end, including the city's permitting.

How do St. Petersburg's permit rules affect my outdoor living?

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 scope your St. Petersburg permit timeline up front so your schedule is realistic, and we manage drawings, applications, and inspections for you.

Do lanais and outdoor structures need a permit?

Screen enclosures, larger structures, and anything with gas or electrical generally do, and they must meet Florida wind-load requirements. We determine exactly what your project requires and handle the permits.

Will my outdoor space hold up to Florida storms?

When it's engineered and built to code, yes. We design lanais, enclosures, and structures to Florida Building Code wind ratings and detail them to drain properly through heavy rain.
