FramePro Clearwater Sunrooms installs enclosed patio rooms, sunroom additions, and screen enclosures for Seminole homeowners - built for salt air conditions, CBS construction, and Pinellas County wind codes, with a one business day reply guaranteed.
Many Seminole ranch homes have a concrete lanai slab or covered patio that was built when the house went up in the 1950s through 1980s. Converting that footprint into a fully enclosed patio room adds usable living space without the cost of new foundation work, and the enclosure blocks the summer humidity and Gulf-side salt air from accelerating wear on outdoor furniture and flooring.
Seminole's proximity to the Gulf and Lake Seminole means mosquito pressure is real from late spring through fall, and a properly built screen enclosure makes outdoor living practical again through those months. We use powder-coated aluminum framing and UV-stable screen mesh suited for coastal conditions where standard materials corrode faster.
Seminole is a fully built-out suburb where most lots leave little room to expand - a sunroom addition is often the most efficient path to added living space without a major structural project. We design additions that tie into existing CBS construction using masonry anchors and proper flashing, the correct method for concrete block homes that dominate the area.
Seminole homeowners who want year-round use of their outdoor space benefit from a fully insulated four season sunroom with Low-E glazing and a dedicated mini-split. The Gulf-proximity humidity makes a properly sealed and climate-controlled room far more comfortable from June through September than an uninsulated Florida room with jalousie windows.
Seminole has a large number of aging Florida room additions from the 1960s and 1970s - thin-framed structures with jalousie windows, fiberglass panels, or single-pane glass that offer little insulation or storm protection. Replacing those older additions with modern framing, Low-E glass, and impact-rated panels brings them up to current code and extends comfortable use into the summer months.
Canal-front and lakefront properties near Lake Seminole sometimes have irregular lot shapes, tight side setbacks, or existing structures that make a standard product a poor fit. A custom sunroom design lets us work around those constraints and deliver a finished room that looks like it belongs with the house rather than an add-on product forced onto the lot.
Seminole sits just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico beaches, and that proximity shapes how homes here age in ways that matter for any enclosed structure. Salt air from the Gulf carries chloride that accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, metal screws, screen hardware, and painted surfaces - materials that would last decades in an inland location can show rust and oxidation within a few years here if the wrong products are used. We specify powder-coated aluminum frames, stainless steel fasteners, and UV-stable screen mesh on every coastal build because the standard aluminum and hardware that works fine inland is not adequate for Seminole's environment. The city also sits on flat, low-lying terrain with sandy soil that drains poorly after summer storms, and enclosed patio slabs without proper drainage details collect standing water against thresholds and frames.
Seminole's housing stock adds a layer of local knowledge that matters on every job. Most homes in the city were built between the 1950s and 1980s using concrete block stucco (CBS) construction - not the wood-frame building method common elsewhere in the country. CBS homes require different anchoring, flashing, and waterproofing approaches when attaching a sunroom or enclosure, and contractors unfamiliar with that construction type can leave moisture pathways into the block that cause damage over time. About 70 percent of Seminole homes are owner-occupied according to U.S. Census data, and the high rate of long-term ownership means homeowners here are investing in durable solutions, not temporary fixes. All permitted enclosure work also must meet Pinellas County's Florida Building Code wind-load standards for this high-wind coastal zone.
Our crew works throughout Seminole regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Permitted projects in Seminole go through the City of Seminole Building and Zoning Department, and we are familiar with the permit review process for sunroom additions and enclosures in this municipality. Every permitted project requires engineered drawings that meet Pinellas County's wind-load standards, and we have those prepared before submitting to the city.
Seminole's residential neighborhoods range from the modest ranch-home streets near Lake Seminole Park to the canal-front properties on the city's western side, to the commercial and residential mix around Seminole City Center. Homes near the water face more aggressive salt air and drainage considerations, while the inland streets deal more with UV degradation on older stucco and screen enclosures. We work across all of those conditions and adjust our material specs accordingly.
We serve homeowners in nearby St. Petersburg to the south and east, and we also regularly work in Pinellas Park just to the northeast, where the housing stock is similar in age and construction type.
Call us or submit the contact form and we reply within one business day to schedule your free on-site estimate. No charge to come out, no commitment required at that stage.
We visit your Seminole property, measure the space, assess your existing slab and CBS walls, and go over your options and what materials make sense given your proximity to the Gulf. You receive a written quote with fixed pricing before we begin.
We prepare and submit the full permit package to the City of Seminole Building and Zoning Department on your behalf. Once approved, we schedule your build start and keep you updated on timing.
Construction runs one to six weeks depending on the scope of the project. We schedule and coordinate all required city inspections and walk through the completed project with you before the job is closed out.

(727) 296-0359Seminole is a city of roughly 18,000 residents in Pinellas County, positioned between St. Petersburg to the east and the Gulf of Mexico beaches - including Madeira Beach and Redington Beach - just a few miles to the west. Pinellas County is the most densely developed county in Florida, and Seminole reflects that: nearly every lot is built on, there is very little open land left, and most home improvement work is renovation or repair rather than new construction. The city has a notably older population, with a median age around 50 and a large share of retirees who have owned their homes for decades. About 70 percent of housing units are owner-occupied, one of the higher rates in the county, according to U.S. Census data.
The housing stock is predominantly one-story concrete block ranch homes built between 1950 and 1985, many with screened lanais or Florida room additions from the same era that are now showing their age. Some properties near Lake Seminole and the canal systems on the city's west side face additional moisture and drainage challenges from proximity to the water. The Pinellas Trail, a 38-mile paved recreation path that runs the length of the county, passes through Seminole and is one of the most-used landmarks in the area. Neighboring Largo borders Seminole to the north with similar housing stock and climate conditions, and Clearwater is a short drive up the Pinellas coast.
