Serving Fort Pierce, FL and surrounding areas. (772) 264-9801
Fort Pierce Deck & Fence is a local deck builder serving Tradition, FL, with screened-in porches, composite and wood decks, pergolas, and vinyl fences designed to meet Tradition HOA standards. We have served St. Lucie County since 2017 and handle all permit and HOA submittal paperwork on your behalf.
Tradition is inland enough to escape ocean spray but still sees intense summer humidity and the mosquitoes and no-see-ums that come with it. A screened enclosure gives you a usable outdoor space every evening without insects - and aluminum framing in HOA-approved colors fits right into the community aesthetic. See everything that goes into screened-in porches and screened decks.
Many homes in Tradition were built in the early 2000s with pressure-treated wood decks that are now showing their age from Florida's wet-dry cycles and UV exposure. Composite decking does not warp, splinter, or need annual sealing - and the neutral tones available today pass Tradition HOA architectural reviews without issue.
Tradition HOAs typically allow white or earth-tone vinyl privacy and picket fences in rear and side yards. Vinyl holds up in Florida's humidity without rotting, warping, or needing paint - which also makes it a popular choice for homeowners in the community's active adult sections who want a low-maintenance boundary solution.
Tradition homes often have covered lanai slabs that extend from a screened door with no overhead shade structure beyond the roofline. A pergola built over that space creates filtered shade for afternoon use when the full Florida sun is at its hottest, and it gives the backyard a finished look that reads well in a planned community setting.
Tradition gets intense afternoon thunderstorms from June through September. A solid patio cover or covered deck keeps that space usable even when rain rolls through, and it protects outdoor furniture, grills, and surfaces from the UV degradation that adds up quickly over Florida summers.
Homes built in Tradition between 2003 and 2015 are now at the age where original wood decking starts to show real wear - soft spots, cupped boards, and loose railings are common. Targeted repairs often solve the problem without a full rebuild, and we can assess whether repair or replacement is the better investment for your specific deck.
Tradition is a master-planned community developed starting in the early 2000s, which means nearly all of its housing stock is CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction with stucco exteriors and either tile or asphalt shingle roofs. These homes were built to post-Andrew Florida codes, which is a structural advantage - but the decks, patios, and fences added to them over the past two decades are now reaching the age where Florida's heat, humidity, and seasonal storms catch up with them. Asphalt shingle roofs on homes from the early 2000s are often past their expected lifespan in this climate, and exterior wood elements like deck boards and fence posts tend to age faster here than in northern states.
Beyond physical wear, Tradition's HOA structure adds a layer of planning that not every contractor navigates well. Outdoor additions - decks, screened enclosures, pergolas, fences - all require HOA architectural review before a St. Lucie County building permit can be pulled. Getting that sequence wrong means delays and potential fines. St. Lucie County's flat terrain and sandy soils also mean post footings need to be sized and set deeper than contractors accustomed to northern soils typically plan for, and the high water table in parts of the area affects drainage around any new concrete work.
Our crew works throughout Tradition regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder work here. Tradition is part of unincorporated Port St. Lucie in St. Lucie County, so all structural permits route through the St. Lucie County Building and Code Regulation Division. We know that review cycle well and submit complete documentation the first time to keep projects on track.
Tradition is organized around a walkable town center with a central square, shops, and restaurants - a development model that creates a tight, cohesive neighborhood identity. The community is divided into residential phases, including sections built for active adults and retirees. Homes range from smaller single-family lots near the town center to larger lots in the newer western phases still going up near Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital. We have worked in all of those sections and understand the lot sizes, the typical property footprints, and the HOA documentation that each phase requires.
We serve Tradition as part of a broader coverage area on the Treasure Coast. If your property sits closer to Jensen Beach or Port St. Lucie, we cover those areas as well and can handle projects that span both communities.
Reach us by phone or through our online form with a general description of what you want. We respond within one business day and can usually schedule a site visit within the week.
We visit your property, measure the space, note any HOA restrictions or flood zone factors, and review material options with you. The written estimate is itemized so you can see exactly what each part of the project costs - no lump-sum surprises.
Once you approve the estimate, we prepare the HOA architectural submittal and the St. Lucie County permit application. We track both in parallel to minimize calendar gaps and keep you updated at each stage.
Construction happens on a schedule we share with you before work starts. We coordinate the county inspection at the appropriate stage, pass the site through final inspection, and leave the property clean when we are done.
We serve all of Tradition, FL. Free estimates, no obligation. We handle HOA submittals and St. Lucie County permits on your behalf.
(772) 264-9801Tradition is a master-planned community in the western part of Port St. Lucie, developed starting around 2003 in St. Lucie County on Florida's Treasure Coast. The community was built around the concept of traditional neighborhood design - a walkable town center with a main street, shops, restaurants, a hotel, and a public square - surrounded by residential neighborhoods organized in phases. Nearly every home in Tradition was built between 2003 and the present, making it one of the younger communities in St. Lucie County. The housing stock is almost entirely CBS construction with stucco exteriors, tile or shingle roofs, and modest to mid-sized rear yards on platted lots. Active adult and age-restricted sections within the community attract a significant share of long-term residents and retirees.
Tradition continues to grow, with new residential phases being added on the western edge of the community. The area draws residents from across the Northeast and Midwest, and the mix of newer families, remote workers, and retirees reflects the broader growth pattern of the Treasure Coast region. Landmarks most residents know include Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital and Clover Park, the New York Mets spring training facility a short drive away in Port St. Lucie. For homeowners in neighboring communities - including those just to the south in Stuart or along the coast in Jensen Beach - we cover those areas as well.
