Outdoor living, built by a licensed Florida contractor.
We design and build premium screen enclosures, aluminum patios, and motorized shade systems for Sarasota and Manatee county homes — engineered to the wind load, built to marine-grade spec.

One contractor for the structure and the shading
Most companies will sell you a cage, or sell you a screen. North Star designs the whole outdoor room. We build custom enclosures, patios, and decks, then integrate the motorized shades and awnings that make them livable in July — one contractor, one design, one number to call.
Screen enclosures
Custom pool cages and lanai enclosures, engineered for Florida wind and designed to frame the view, not block it.
Learn more →Patios & decks
The floor of your outdoor room. Built to handle salt air, summer storms, and decades of barefoot evenings.
Learn more →Motorized shades & screens
Shade when you want it. Sky when you don't. Retractable screens that disappear at the touch of a button.
Learn more →Motorized awnings
Shade that reaches past the roofline when the afternoon sun does, and retracts when the evening cools.
Learn more →Open an entire wall at the touch of a button
A motorized screen wall closes the lanai against sun, rain, and insects, then retracts out of sight when you want the view back. Somfy motorization ties it to schedules, sun, and wind sensors.

Built to code, documented at every step
Every structure is engineered per parcel to the Florida Building Code wind loads for coastal Sarasota and Manatee counties. Sealed drawings back the design.
6005-T5 marine-grade aluminum, 300-series stainless fasteners, and warrantied screen mesh — specified to survive salt air, not just pass inspection.
Permitted, inspected, and water-tested. You get the drawings, the permit numbers, and the schedule up front — no surprises during the build.
Built differently, on purpose
The big builders run crews you'll meet once. The product dealers install what the factory ships. North Star was built differently on purpose: the person who designs your project is the person who answers when you call, and he's licensed to build all of it — the structure and the shading, as one job.
That matters at quote time, when one plan covers everything. It matters at permit time, when one contractor carries the job through inspection. And it matters two summers from now, when you know exactly who stands behind the work.
