General Contractor in Redington Shores, FL

As a general contractor the Redington communities rely on, LanCo Construction & Development serves all three — Redington Shores, North Redington Beach and Redington Beach. Together they make up one of the quieter stretches of the Pinellas barrier islands: a narrow strip of Gulf Boulevard with residential streets running down to the water on both sides, the Redington Long Pier, and very little of the commercial density you find further south.

The homes here are mostly residential and mostly older, and the lots are narrow. That combination shapes how additions and renovations have to be designed. We have been building in Pinellas County since 1986 and we work across all three Redington towns.

Flood Zone Construction in the Redingtons

All three Redington communities sit in AE and VE flood zones. FEMA’s substantial improvement rule applies: once the cost of improvements reaches 50% of the structure’s market value, the entire building must be brought up to current flood standards.

Because much of the housing stock here is older and modest in value, that 50% threshold arrives faster than it does elsewhere in the county. It is the single most important number to establish before planning any significant work on a Redington home, and it is the first thing we calculate.

The narrow lots matter too. Setbacks, equipment access and neighboring structures all constrain what is buildable, and it is better to know that at the design stage than at permitting.

One note worth knowing: Redington Shores, North Redington Beach and Redington Beach are three separate municipalities with their own building departments. Requirements are not identical across them. We work with all three.

The three Redington communities do not work the same way, and this catches people out. Redington Shores uses a 49% threshold — stricter than North Redington Beach and Redington Beach, which both use 50%. Redington Shores also still has a one-year cumulative look-back written into its code, so recent permits may be added together against that same threshold, and its code currently gives two different freeboard figures (plus 3 feet in the elevation section, plus 2 feet in the submittal section) — get the town to confirm which governs before anyone draws anything. Our flood zone construction page lays out all of it, and the 49/50% threshold calculator applies the right percentage for whichever community you are in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Redington communities does LanCo Construction serve?

All three — Redington Shores, North Redington Beach and Redington Beach. Each has its own building department, and we work with all of them.

Can you build an addition on a narrow Redington lot?

Yes. Narrow lots are the norm here. We design around setbacks, equipment access and neighboring structures, and we identify those constraints during design rather than at permitting.

Does the FEMA 50% rule apply to homes in the Redingtons?

Yes. All three communities are in flood zones. Because much of the local housing stock is older, the 50% threshold is often reached sooner than owners expect, which is why we calculate it before scoping any project.

Do you handle storm damage and elevations in the Redingtons?

Yes. We handle flood repairs and substantial damage rebuilds across all three Redington communities. We do not lift existing homes — that is a specialist trade — but we do convert a ground floor to compliant non-habitable space with new living space built above it, and we build new elevated homes from the ground up.
