Service Area · Navarre, FL
Navarre is growing fast. It deserves a builder who's been here longer.
Navarre is Santa Rosa County's fastest-growing coastal community — new subdivisions, a booming military family population, and a stretch of Gulf and Sound waterfront that rivals anything in Okaloosa County. We've been building in Navarre for over 30 years. Same engineering standard. Same crew. Same Florida contractor license. No county line changes what we build.
The honest problem
Navarre is booming. Not every contractor coming with it belongs here.
Navarre has been one of the fastest-growing residential communities in Santa Rosa County for over a decade. New subdivisions north of Highway 98, waterfront lots along the Santa Rosa Sound, and Gulf-front properties on Navarre Beach are all attracting buyers — and with that growth comes a wave of contractors competing for the work.
The problem is that Santa Rosa County's coastal position means its wind zone and salt-air requirements are every bit as demanding as Okaloosa County. A structure on a Navarre Beach lot faces the same Gulf exposure as one in Fort Walton Beach. A pool enclosure on a Sound-adjacent property needs the same marine-rated hardware and stamped engineering as anything in Destin. But not every contractor bidding in Navarre engineers and permits to that standard — especially the ones who've followed the growth here from outside the region.
We've been building in Navarre since before the current growth cycle started. We know what this coast demands. We build to that standard every time, on every property, regardless of which county it sits in.
Why ABS in Navarre
Fifteen miles from Fort Walton Beach. Thirty years of Navarre builds.
Aluminum Building Systems crosses into Santa Rosa County with the same Florida contractor license, the same engineering process, and the same crew that builds everything else in our service area. Navarre isn't a territory we recently entered to chase growth — it's been part of our service area since 1996. We know the Santa Rosa County permit office. We know the wind zone differences between a Navarre Beach Gulf-front lot and an inland Navarre residential subdivision. And we know the difference between what a properly engineered coastal structure looks like and what a cheap knockoff looks like three years later.
What's distinct about Navarre is its character — a tight-knit community with deep military family roots, a beach that gets significantly less foot traffic than Destin or Fort Walton, and a buyer who values a contractor who shows up on time, builds what they quoted, and is still answering the phone five years later. That's how we operate everywhere. In Navarre, it's particularly noticed.
Navarre has been in our service area since 1996. It's not a recent expansion — it's our western coast territory.
30 years of builds across Navarre Beach, the Sound waterfront, and Navarre's residential subdivisions. We know this community because we've been building in it across every growth cycle it's had.
Where we build in Crestview
Neighborhoods we know by name.
Navarre spans from the Gulf-front barrier island to established mainland neighborhoods and new growth subdivisions. Each area has a distinct buyer profile and build priority.
Navarre Beach
Gulf-front barrier island community with direct Gulf and Sound exposure. The most demanding coastal engineering environment in our Navarre service area — marine-grade hardware and HVHZ wind stamps are non-negotiable on every build here.
East Bay Estates & Sound-Adjacent
Waterfront and near-waterfront residential properties along the Santa Rosa Sound north shore. Elevated wind and salt-air exposure. Pool enclosures and Infinity View builds are increasingly common on Sound-view properties here.
Holley by the Sea
Established residential community with community pool amenities. One of Navarre's most active renovation markets. Screen rooms, patio covers, and residential pool enclosures are the primary build types for long-tenure homeowners here.
Navarre Mainland Subdivisions
The fast-growing residential zone north of Highway 98. New construction and recently-built homes entering their first outdoor improvement cycle. Pool enclosures, patio covers, and screen rooms are the most common first projects.
Gulf Winds & Gulf Breeze Proper
The eastern edge of Gulf Breeze crossing into Navarre's western boundary. Established residential area with Sound exposure. Long-tenure homeowners in the renovation demographic. Screen rooms and patio covers are the primary project type.
Tiger Point & New Construction
Active-build residential areas on the eastern edge of the Gulf Breeze peninsula near the Navarre corridor. Growing military family population. Pool enclosures and screen rooms are the standard first improvement for newly-purchased homes in this area.

Every structure we build in The Emerald Coast is custom-engineered to your property's wind zone — stamped, permitted, and installed by the same crew who designed it.
Why Navarre demands site-engineered structures
I=A county line doesn't change what the Gulf does to a structure.
Navarre sits on the same Gulf of Mexico coastline as Fort Walton Beach — in Santa Rosa County, not Okaloosa, but subject to identical wind zone requirements and the same salt-air, UV, and storm exposure that makes coastal engineering mandatory.
Gulf
Direct coastal exposure
Navarre Beach and Sound-adjacent properties carry the same salt-air and wind exposure as Gulf-front properties in Fort Walton Beach. Marine-rated hardware is the only right answer.
HVHZ
Santa Rosa wind zone
Santa Rosa County's coastal designation requires site-specific wind load engineering — the same standard as Okaloosa. Every ABS build in Navarre is stamped to the exact site wind zone.
Year-round
No-see-um pressure
Navarre's Sound-adjacent position makes no-see-um pressure among the highest in our service area. No-see-um mesh is the recommended screen for most Navarre properties.
320+
Days of sun per year
Navarre's beach and Sound properties get the same UV exposure as the rest of the Emerald Coast. Cheap powder coat degrades fast — industrial-grade finish holds for decades.
What we build in Navarre
Seven product lines. One engineering standard.
Every structure below is available to Navarre homeowners. Every one is site-engineered to Santa Rosa County's exact wind zone, permitted before we start, and built by the same crew that designs it.
Infinity View Enclosures
Halo-frame design — up to 40-ft clear spans, no chair rail. Built for Cinco Bayou waterfront properties and Sound-adjacent homes where the view is part of the value.
Pool Enclosures
The most requested product in Fort Walton Beach. New builds, storm rebuilds, and halo upgrades — all stamped to Okaloosa County wind code before construction begins.
Screen & Sun Rooms
Porch and lanai conversions for Fort Walton Beach's established housing stock. Screen rooms are the most common renovation project in homes built 1985–2000 in this area.
Pergolas
Fixed, adjustable, and motorized louver pergolas — permitted to Florida wind code, powder-coated for coastal life, zero maintenance. Popular pairing with retractable screen sides.
Patio Covers & Carports
Insulated and standard aluminum covers for patios, walkways, and vehicles. The most practical upgrade for Fort Walton Beach homes with unshaded rear patios.
Aluminum Fence & Rail
Florida pool-code-compliant fencing, deck and stair railing, and privacy panels — powder-coated for Okaloosa's coastal salt air. Never rusts, never rots, never needs maintenance.
Retractable Screens
Retractable Screens Fenetex motorized screens — 150 MPH+ rated and Florida Building Commission approved for Okaloosa's High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Disappear completely when not in use. Deploy at the push of a button.
Motorized Hurricane Screens
One button deploys 185 MPH-rated storm protection across your full patio opening — certified to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards. Built for Okaloosa's coastal wind zones. Invisible when the storm isn't coming.

COMMUNITIES WITHIN NAVARRE
Navarre has many communities.
We've been building in all of them since 1996.
Navarre spans Gulf-front barrier island properties, Sound-adjacent waterfront corridors, established inland subdivisions, and fast-growing military family neighborhoods. Each one sits under Santa Rosa County's coastal wind zone designation — every structure requires the same site-specific stamped engineering, regardless of how far it is from the beach. We've been building here since before Navarre's current growth cycle started.
Holley by the Sea
The largest subdivision in Northwest Florida — approximately 5,000 homesites across six square miles, with one of the largest HOAs in Florida. Military families, retirees, and long-tenure households on half-acre lots with access to a 48-acre Recreation Center. Pool enclosures and screen rooms are among our most common builds here. The HOA has documentation requirements for any permitted exterior project, and we provide the engineering drawings in the format both Santa Rosa County and the HOA require. One conversation covers both.
Hidden Creek Estates
The upscale golf-course community within Holley by the Sea — custom-built homes on and near the Hidden Creek Golf Course fairways, with home values among the highest in the Navarre market. Pool enclosures that preserve a course view without obstruction, pergola systems with motorized integration, and Infinity View halo-frame designs are the builds this community calls for. We provide a 3D design before any permit is pulled. HOA documentation is handled as part of the standard build.
East Navarre
The most active military family corridor in Navarre — subdivisions east of SR-87 primarily serving Hurlburt Field and Eglin AFB personnel. Families on active-duty timelines who need a permitted pool enclosure or screen room within a realistic window and a contractor who can work around PCS schedules. We build in East Navarre regularly, understand the Santa Rosa County permit process for this side of the community, give hard completion timelines, and don't overcommit.
Sound Hammock & South of Hwy 98
Santa Rosa Sound-adjacent properties with deeded water access and sunset views — lots that carry elevated wind and salt-air exposure relative to inland Navarre subdivisions. These require the same marine-grade hardware and coastal-grade engineering we apply to Navarre Beach properties. Homeowners here bought specifically for the Sound lifestyle and need a structure that survives the exposure year after year. Every build is stamped to the exact Santa Rosa County wind zone for that specific lot.
Robledal Estates
Larger lots, more privacy, fewer HOA restrictions — retirees and long-tenure households who value space and quiet over beach proximity. Ranch-style and custom Florida homes on generous lots with enough backyard footprint for a meaningful pool enclosure, freestanding pergola, or full screened lanai. Without an HOA architectural review catching unpermitted work, the responsibility falls entirely on the homeowner. We pull the Santa Rosa County permit as standard on every Robledal build. No exceptions.
Heritage Park & North Shore
Two of Navarre's upscale gated communities — property values among the highest in the market, and homeowners who bring documentation expectations to match. Pool enclosures, Infinity View structures, and motorized pergola systems built to the investment level these properties represent. Full 3D renderings before permits are pulled, HOA-formatted engineering documentation as a standard deliverable, and the same crew from estimate to final walkthrough. What these homeowners value most is a contractor who answers the phone the same way five years later that they did on estimate day.

Navarre-specific questions
Real answers for this specific community.
Do you service Navarre even though it's in Santa Rosa County, not Okaloosa?
Yes — and Navarre has been in our service area since 1999. We hold an active Florida State Contractor License (RX11066994) which covers all four counties we serve: Okaloosa, Walton, Santa Rosa, and Bay. The county line doesn't change our engineering standard, our permit process, or our crew. There is no travel fee for estimates or builds in Navarre.
Are Santa Rosa County permit and engineering requirements different from Okaloosa?
The core requirements are similar — all permitted structures require site-specific engineering stamped to the local wind zone, and Santa Rosa County's coastal areas carry HVHZ designations comparable to Okaloosa's coastal zones. The specific permit office, inspection scheduling, and documentation format differ between counties, but we handle all of that as part of the standard build process. You don't coordinate anything between offices — we do.
Is no-see-um mesh worth the upgrade for a Navarre property?
For most Navarre properties — especially Sound-adjacent and Navarre Beach locations — yes. No-see-ums are smaller than the openings in standard fiberglass screen mesh, which means standard screen doesn't stop them. No-see-um mesh has a tighter weave that blocks them completely. The trade-off is slightly reduced airflow, but in Navarre's no-see-um environment, most homeowners find it worthwhile. We recommend screen type during the estimate based on your specific property's exposure and use.
We're a military family who just bought in Navarre. What's the realistic timeline?
From first contact to project completion, most pool enclosures and screen rooms in Navarre take 6–10 weeks — including the estimate, 3D design, Santa Rosa County permit approval, and construction. If you have a hard timeline (PCS departure, specific season deadline), tell us during the estimate and we'll be direct about what's achievable. We don't pad timelines and we don't overpromise.
My Navarre Beach property has Gulf exposure. Does that change what you recommend?
Yes — significantly. Gulf-front and Sound-adjacent Navarre Beach properties require marine-rated stainless fasteners throughout, industrial-grade powder coat rated for salt-air exposure, and HVHZ-stamped wind engineering that accounts for the barrier island's open Gulf exposure. These are the same requirements we apply to Destin and Fort Walton Beach Gulf-front builds. We assess your specific lot's exposure during the estimate and specify accordingly.
