East Lake homes

We know East Lake homes

East Lake has about 33,300 residents and a median home value near $488,000, per the Census, the highest of our Pinellas pages. Most homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s in gated golf and lake communities along East Lake Road and Lake Tarpon.

Permits go to Pinellas County through the Access Portal with the county window form. Lakefront homes within 600 feet of open water can need Exposure D, per the form.

We serve Pinellas County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office. Roofing is Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach only.

Inland but exposed

Milton's heavy rain caused river and street flooding across the region in October 2024, per the NHC report.

Some lakefront and creek lots map FEMA AE. In flood zones, if your permitted improvements reach 50% of the home's value, the house must meet current flood elevation rules. A window job alone rarely gets there.

Windows and doors for East Lake homes

In East Lake Woodlands we follow the association's color and style rules. Lake Tarpon homes often have large sliders facing open water.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

If you qualify for My Safe Florida Home, the state pays $2 for every $1 you pay, up to $10,000, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit (Fla. Stat. §215.5586). How the program works.

Impact windows and doors count as opening protection, Question 7 on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. A licensed inspector fills it out after the work, and your insurer sets the discount.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Pinellas County is outside the HVHZ. Its local amendment sets 145 mph for Risk Category II countywide, above the 140 mph mark that puts the entire county in the wind-borne debris region.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.
