Shearwater Screen Room Choices

Expanded-view upgrade. Cleaner frame lines so the yard reads like a picture window.
Wrapping a gazebo or A-frame. The structure and screen are designed as one piece.
New floor underneath. Pavers or an extended slab so the enclosure has a finished floor.
Screen rooms with a solid roof. A roofed screen room keeps rain off the furniture and still lets the breeze through.

Florida has more frequent and longer pollen seasons than most of the country, UF/IFAS notes, with trees pollinating in winter and spring.

Designing a screen enclosure for Shearwater

Shearwater is a master-planned community in St. Johns County with a St. Augustine address. With neighbors close on both sides, a privacy wall or panels often belong in a Shearwater design. Many newer homes come with an unscreened builder lanai, and screening it, or screening a new extension, is often the first upgrade.

A screen room with a solid roof is the most flexible option for summer storms, while a screen-only enclosure keeps the sky in view. Before we draw a screen enclosure in Shearwater, we check what floor the enclosure will sit on, where fans and lights can be mounted and how the enclosure meets your existing roof.

Approvals and Permits in Shearwater

Shearwater reviews additions for placement, materials and colors, so the package covers all three. Boards usually look at screen and frame colors, the enclosure's height and how it meets the roof. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

St. Johns County issues the building permit in Shearwater. Expect a clearance step first, an automatic notice to registered architectural review associations, and a recorded Notice of Commencement for most permitted projects. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Under the Florida Building Code, removable vinyl, glass or acrylic panels in a screen enclosure must carry a label saying they have to come down above a set wind speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum budget for a screen enclosure in Shearwater?Yes. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum.

Can you replace an old screen enclosure?Yes. We can remove a tired enclosure and design a new one, often with a roof or a larger footprint.

What is the expanded-view upgrade?It's our option for cleaner frame lines, so you see more yard and less framing.

Is Shearwater in St. Augustine?Shearwater has a St. Augustine address and sits in St. Johns County.

Does a screen enclosure in Shearwater go to the HOA?Yes. Shearwater's association reviews exterior changes before work starts. We prepare the package for you. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Who permits a screen enclosure in Shearwater?Screen enclosures are permitted structures in Northeast Florida, and HOAs usually set rules on frame and screen colors and on height. Shearwater homes are permitted by St. Johns County. The County requires a building permit for most improvements and, in most cases, a clearance sheet before it accepts the application, and registered architectural review associations are notified automatically when exterior work is filed. We handle the permit and inspections, and every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
