Hurricane Season 2026 is active now. Don’t wait until a Storm Watch is issued.
Call 727-344-9962Pinellas is a peninsula on a peninsula. Water knows it.
Pinellas County sits low between Tampa Bay and the Gulf, ringed by barrier islands and laced with bayous. When surge comes, it comes from both sides at once.
Helene made the case in 2024 better than any brochure could: homes from the beaches to Shore Acres took feet of water without hurricane winds ever arriving. The county’s biggest residential threat is not wind. It is storm surge, and surge is a problem you solve at the openings of your home.
Our answer is the flood barriers Pinellas County homes actually need, built for every opening water can use: aerospace-grade aluminum panels. 2.5X the thickness of most competing products, dual-phase EPDM gaskets that seal tighter as water rises, rated to hold back up to 10 feet. Measured to your home, fabricated in St. Petersburg, deployed in about an hour.

The county learned this lesson the hard way.
Helene flooded the county, not a neighborhood
From Madeira Beach to Shore Acres, surge reached homes that had never flooded. The storm never made landfall here. That is the part people cannot unlearn.
Barrier islands drain last
Beach communities take surge from the Gulf and the Intracoastal at once. Engineered barriers are how island homes stay dry while the water finds its way back out.
Sandbags are not a plan
They leak, they fail under pressure, and every Pinellas homeowner who has stacked them at midnight knows it. A sealed system replaces the ritual for good.
Local means accountable
The team that measured your home fabricated your panels and installed them. If you ever need us, we are twenty minutes away, not a call center.
Flood barriers in Pinellas County: common questions.
Do you install throughout Pinellas County?
Yes, all of it. We install flood barriers Pinellas County wide, from Tarpon Springs to Pass-a-Grille, the beaches to the bayous. We are headquartered in St. Petersburg and the whole county is home turf.
Why does Pinellas need flood barriers?
Low elevation, water on both sides, and barrier islands. Helene flooded homes across the county without hurricane winds. Surge is the county’s biggest residential threat, and barriers are the direct answer.
How much do they cost here?
Depends on your openings and their dimensions, since every system is custom fabricated. See our flood barrier cost page for what drives pricing. The free assessment gets you an exact quote.
Are the barriers made locally?
Every panel is cut, welded, and gasketed at our facility in St. Petersburg’s Warehouse Arts District. Assessment, fabrication, and install: one team, no subcontractors.
How fast do they deploy?
About an hour for most homes, by one person. We also offer storage and deployment service if you would rather we handle it when a storm threatens.
Do you serve the beach communities?
Yes. St. Pete Beach, Pass-a-Grille, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, the Redingtons, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach, and Clearwater are core service areas with the county’s highest surge exposure.
