Pool Cage, Screen Enclosure & Siding Contractor in Odessa, FL
Craftsmanship built for Odessa's larger lots and lakefront homes.
Your local Odessa contractor since 2011.
Odessa homes tend to sit on larger, wooded, or lakefront lots — and that calls for a contractor who can design around trees, slopes, and water. AM Exterior has been building outdoor spaces, screen enclosures, and additions for Odessa homeowners since 2011.
From Keystone-area estates and Starkey Ranch to smaller Odessa acreage properties, we design custom sunrooms, oversized pool cages, and paver patios that fit the landscape rather than fighting it.
Odessa lakefront and conservation-adjacent projects often need extra care with permits and drainage — we've done the work in Odessa long enough to know exactly how to get it approved.
- Custom paver driveways and patios sized for Odessa acreage lots
- Screen enclosures and pool cages built for Odessa's lake views
- Experienced with Odessa conservation and setback requirements
Across Odessa, we build custom pool cages and screen enclosures, handle rescreening, and install patio covers, sunrooms, paver patios, and outdoor kitchens for backyards from Keystone to Starkey Ranch. We also replace siding with vinyl or James Hardie fiber cement, and we take on bathroom remodeling and general remodeling under the same State Certified Building Contractor license. One team manages the work from estimate through final inspection anywhere in Odessa.
What we build in Odessa
Odessa is really two places. The Keystone and Lake Keystone area, along with the acreage along Gunn Highway, Tarpon Springs Road, and Lutz Lake Fern Road, is made up of larger wooded and lakefront parcels with custom or semi-custom homes, many built between the 1980s and early 2000s. Starkey Ranch, Asturia, the Eagles, and the newer communities near State Road 54 are the other Odessa: master-planned neighborhoods with smaller lots and homes less than fifteen years old.
On the acreage side, we build oversized pool cages and screen rooms sized to lake views, paver driveways and motor courts that replace cracked concrete, detached patio covers, and full siding replacements on older frame homes where wood or original vinyl has weathered. In Starkey Ranch and similar communities, the work is more often about extending what the builder left behind — paver lanai extensions, a larger cage, an insulated aluminum roof over the patio, and outdoor kitchens.
Permitting, wetlands, and site conditions in Odessa
Odessa is unincorporated and split across the Pasco–Hillsborough county line. Most of the Keystone area is Hillsborough; Starkey Ranch and the State Road 54 corridor are Pasco. We are licensed to pull permits in both counties and confirm jurisdiction before quoting so the application goes to the right office the first time. Aluminum structures require engineered drawings and inspections in either county, and we handle those under CBC1263331.
The bigger variable in Odessa is the land itself. Many lots border lakes, wetlands, or conservation easements, and setbacks from those boundaries can limit where a structure or patio can go. Tree canopies affect where a cage can be placed and how debris will load the screen. Sloped or low lots need drainage planning so a new paver area sheds water away from the house and does not push runoff toward a neighbor. We walk all of that during the site visit and design around it.
Why Odessa homeowners choose a local builder
Odessa is a short drive west of our Land O’Lakes shop along State Road 54, so we can visit twice before ordering material — once to estimate and once to confirm dimensions and details — and be on site daily during construction. That matters on larger custom projects where a few inches of clearance around a pool pump, a septic drain field, or a well head changes the design.
We also keep the work in-house. The people who measure your project are the people who build it, and the written warranty comes from a company that has been in the area since 2011. For Odessa homeowners investing in a large enclosure or a full exterior re-side, that accountability is usually the deciding factor.
Common questions from Odessa homeowners
- My Odessa lot backs up to a lake. Can I still add a pool cage or patio?
- Usually yes, but the setback from the water or wetland line and any conservation easement determines how far the structure can extend. We check the recorded plat and county rules during the estimate and design within them.
- Which county issues the permit for my Odessa address?
- It depends on the parcel. Keystone-area addresses are generally Hillsborough County; Starkey Ranch and most addresses near State Road 54 are Pasco. We verify by parcel number before submitting.
- Can you replace a long concrete driveway with pavers on an acreage lot?
- Yes. Paver driveways on larger Odessa parcels are one of our regular projects. We size the base for vehicle loads, plan for drainage across the length, and can incorporate turnarounds, borders, and walkways in the same design.
