Straight-Shooting Exterior Work in West Lealman

West Lealman is one of those unincorporated Pinellas County neighborhoods that quietly gets on with it — modest concrete-block homes from the 1950s and 60s on tidy lots between 34th Street North and the Joe's Creek corridor, many still owned by the families who bought them decades ago. These houses were built simply and built well, but sixty-plus Florida summers will find every weak point: sun-cooked shingles, cracked stucco, jalousie windows that never really sealed, and carports rusting at the posts.

Alpine Exteriors specializes in exactly this housing stock. Over 25 years in business we have worked on hundreds of mid-century block homes across the Pinellas peninsula, and West Lealman's are among our favorites: solid bones, sensible rooflines, and owners who want value rather than showroom theater.

The Four Upgrades That Matter Most Here

The roof comes first, because in this county the roof decides your insurance bill. Most West Lealman homes carry low-slope hip roofs over plank decking; we re-nail that decking to current code, add a sealed secondary water barrier, and install shingles or metal rated for the wind speeds insurers ask about on a mitigation form.

Windows come second. Swapping single-pane aluminum or jalousie units for impact-rated vinyl means cooler bedrooms, a quieter house near the busy 34th Street corridor, and one less thing to board up when a storm enters the Gulf. Third is the skin of the house — stucco repair on block walls, fiber cement on frame gables, and fresh vented soffit where the old panels have rotted through. Fourth, for homes backing toward the Joe's Creek greenway, we build compact decks and rebuild sagging porch steps so the backyard actually gets used ten months a year.

• Re-roofing with deck re-nailing and secondary water barrier
• Impact window replacement for jalousie and single-pane aluminum units
• Stucco, soffit, and fascia repair on 1950s block construction
• Backyard decks and porch rebuilds sized for smaller lots

How We Work

Everything starts with a free on-site estimate — a real walkaround with a ladder and a moisture meter, not a windshield quote. We tell you what needs doing now, what can wait a few years, and what does not need doing at all. In a neighborhood where budgets are real, that ordering matters as much as the price itself.

We keep the job site tight, protect your plantings, and haul our own debris. And because we have completed more than 2,000 projects without ever needing a billboard, we protect the thing that got us here: every installation is covered by a 25-year workmanship warranty, in writing, transferable to the next owner if you ever sell. For a house that has already stood sixty years, that is the kind of commitment that fits.
