FramePro Clearwater Sunrooms builds three season sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms for homeowners throughout St. Petersburg. We work across St. Pete's older concrete block neighborhoods and newer waterfront communities, and we reply to every estimate request within one business day.
St. Petersburg is one of the sunniest cities in the country, and a three season sunroom lets you take advantage of that without sitting in direct heat or rain. Insulated enough to stay comfortable through fall, winter, and spring - and screened to keep insects out - it gives most St. Pete households usable space for nine to ten months of the year.
St. Pete's summer afternoon thunderstorms arrive on a nearly daily schedule from June through September. A patio enclosure keeps your back-of-house living area dry during those storms and usable even on humid evenings when bugs are out in force near the bay.
The small-lot neighborhoods throughout central St. Petersburg often have limited yard space, and a screened porch or lanai makes the most of what is there. A quality aluminum-framed screen room adds functional outdoor living square footage without requiring a large footprint.
Many St. Petersburg homes were built in the postwar era with compact floor plans and little dedicated living space beyond the main rooms. A sunroom addition off the back of the house is a practical way to gain a light-filled room - a breakfast nook, a reading room, or a play space - without going through a full home addition.
St. Pete's older bungalows and CBS homes often have original covered back stoops or concrete slabs that were built for a different era. Converting that existing covered area into an enclosed sunroom uses the existing slab and overhead structure, which typically reduces the total cost compared to building from scratch.
For homeowners who want a fully climate-controlled space they can use even during St. Pete's hottest July afternoons, a four season room with Low-E glazing and an HVAC connection delivers that. The insulation and glass spec needed here is different from what works in northern states - we design to Florida's heat load, not a generic national standard.
A large portion of St. Petersburg's single-family homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s using concrete block construction with stucco exteriors - the CBS style that defines postwar Florida housing. Attaching a sunroom to a CBS home requires masonry anchors into the block, not standard wood-frame fasteners, and the connection between the new roof structure and the existing wall needs to be flashed and sealed carefully. Moisture intrusion at that joint is the most common reason sunroom additions on older St. Pete homes start leaking within a few years. A contractor who knows CBS construction from the inside out will get that detail right the first time.
St. Petersburg sits on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, which means salt air affects properties throughout the city - not just waterfront homes. That salt exposure accelerates corrosion on aluminum framing, eats through standard caulk faster, and degrades stucco finishes over time. Florida's high-wind building code applies across the city, and any permitted sunroom structure must meet Pinellas County wind-load requirements. Flood zone designations also affect a portion of St. Pete properties, which can influence what foundation type and floor elevation is required for a new enclosed structure.
Our crew works throughout St. Petersburg regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. We pull permits through the City of St. Petersburg Development Services department for permitted projects, and we know what the local inspectors look for on enclosed structure work in the city.
St. Petersburg covers a wide range of neighborhoods - from the historic craftsman bungalows of Kenwood and Old Northeast near downtown, to the mid-century CBS streets around Tropicana Field, to the waterfront properties in Snell Isle and Shore Acres along Tampa Bay. Each neighborhood has different lot sizes, different ages of construction, and different access conditions that affect how a sunroom project gets planned and built.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Clearwater to the north, which shares the same concrete block housing stock and Gulf Coast climate. Homeowners in Seminole just to the west are also familiar with the same salt air and storm conditions we see across Pinellas County.
Call or fill out the contact form. We respond within one business day to schedule a free on-site estimate at your St. Petersburg home. No fee, no sales pressure.
We visit your property, assess the existing slab or foundation, measure the space, and discuss what will work for your home and budget. You get a written quote - the price is set before any work starts, not adjusted after the fact.
For permitted projects, we handle the city permit application. Once approved, we schedule the build start and keep you updated as the project moves forward.
Most builds run two to six weeks. We coordinate city inspections and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything is right before we close out the job.

(727) 296-0359St. Petersburg is one of the largest cities in Florida, with about 265,000 residents spread across a peninsula that sits between Tampa Bay to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. The city has a wide range of neighborhoods - from the historic bungalow streets of Kenwood and Old Northeast, built in the 1920s and 1930s with wood-frame craftsman construction, to the postwar CBS blocks throughout the central city, to the waterfront homes in Snell Isle and Shore Acres along Tampa Bay. That variety means the type of sunroom or enclosure work that fits one neighborhood often looks quite different from what works in another.
The city's coastal position and consistently warm climate make outdoor living a priority for most homeowners here. A sunroom, screen room, or patio enclosure extends the usable footprint of a smaller home and captures the light and views that make St. Pete an appealing place to live in the first place. Neighboring Clearwater sits to the north along the same Gulf Coast corridor, while Seminole borders St. Pete to the northwest.
