Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, many homeowners are rethinking how they use the space between the house and the yard. Screened porches and open patios give way to glass-enclosed rooms that bring in natural light while keeping out heat, humidity and insects. In the St. Petersburg area, Lifestyle Remodeling designs and builds sunrooms that range from three-season and four-season rooms to studio, cathedral and custom glass additions. The family-owned company is a Florida state certified general contractor and works with TEMO products made for the state’s climate. Its process starts with an in-home consultation and a 3D rendering of the finished room, then moves through site measurement, design approval and permitting before construction begins. For homeowners planning a project, the company recommends starting between late winter and early summer so the new space is complete before the peak of hurricane season.
