Custom Venice Fence & Deck builds pool decks, custom decks, and screened enclosures for Nokomis homeowners. We have worked throughout this community since 2017 and handle all permits through Sarasota County - so you do not have to track down the right office yourself.
Nokomis homes near the water often have pools that become the center of outdoor life, and a properly built pool deck handles the slip resistance, drainage, and intense Florida sun those spaces demand. Our pool deck construction service uses materials suited for the coastal salt and humidity Nokomis homeowners deal with every day.
Many Nokomis properties have odd lot shapes or setback requirements from Little Sarasota Bay or nearby canals that make off-the-shelf deck kits a poor fit. A custom-designed deck accounts for your specific yard, soil conditions, and the Sarasota County permit requirements that apply to unincorporated areas like Nokomis.
The Gulf air and year-round moisture in Nokomis wear natural wood down faster than most homeowners expect. Composite and Trex decking hold their finish in coastal climates and need no staining or sealing, which is worth a lot when salt air is a constant presence.
Nokomis is close to the water, and that means mosquitoes and no-see-ums are a real issue from late spring through fall. A screened enclosure over your porch or deck gives you comfortable outdoor space you can actually use on warm evenings without fighting insects.
Many Nokomis homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s, and decks from that era often show soft boards, rusting fasteners, or deterioration at post bases from years of coastal moisture. We assess what is worth repairing and what makes more sense to replace.
Nokomis properties near the water or along canals often need fencing that holds up to salt air and humidity. Vinyl fencing requires no painting and resists moisture-related damage, making it a practical long-term choice for this coastal environment.
Nokomis sits right on the Gulf Coast, bordered by Little Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, with Nokomis Beach on Casey Key just minutes from most neighborhoods. That coastal setting is beautiful, but it is also demanding on outdoor structures. Salt air from the Gulf corrodes metal fasteners, keeps wood perpetually damp, and degrades sealants and finishes faster than in nearly any inland climate. A deck built without the right materials and hardware for this environment often starts showing problems within a few years.
Nokomis also sits on sandy soil that can shift under concrete footings over time, which is why undersized or incorrectly placed post footings are one of the most common causes of deck problems in this area. Because Nokomis is an unincorporated community, all building permits and inspections go through Sarasota County - not a local city office. Homeowners who are not familiar with that process sometimes submit incomplete applications or choose contractors who do not know the county's requirements, leading to delays and extra cost. Working with a crew that already knows this county process is a straightforward way to avoid those problems.
Our crew works throughout Nokomis regularly, and we pull all permits through Sarasota County Development Services for projects across unincorporated areas including Nokomis. We know what documentation the county expects, how long review cycles typically run, and which plan details reviewers flag most often - so your project does not lose weeks to back-and-forth.
The homes along the Tamiami Trail and the neighborhoods between U.S. 41 and the water on Casey Key represent two different types of properties. Inland homes tend to be mid-century concrete block construction on modest lots. Waterfront and canal-front homes face heavier salt air exposure and sometimes have seawall or drainage constraints that affect where and how a deck can be built. We have worked on both property types and understand the difference.
Nokomis is directly adjacent to Osprey to the north, and the two communities share very similar coastal building conditions. We serve both areas, so if your project is near the boundary between them, reach out and we can help regardless of which side you are on.
Call or submit the estimate form and tell us what you have in mind. We reply within one business day and schedule a site visit at a time that works for you.
We visit your property, take measurements, assess soil and drainage conditions, and walk through your options with you. You receive a written estimate with material and labor costs itemized before any commitment is required.
We submit your permit application to Sarasota County and handle all follow-up with the county. Construction begins once the permit is approved and materials are on site - most builds run three to ten working days.
We walk through the finished project with you before we leave the site. The county inspector completes the final inspection and closes the permit, giving you a fully documented and approved structure.
We serve Nokomis and the surrounding coastal communities. No pressure, no obligation - just a straight answer on what your project will take.
(941) 477-1239Nokomis is a small, unincorporated community in Sarasota County, sitting between Venice to the south and Osprey to the north along the Gulf Coast. Most of the housing stock consists of single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s - a mix of concrete block ranch-style houses, with a smaller number of newer builds and renovated waterfront properties near Casey Key and Little Sarasota Bay. The community is predominantly owner-occupied, with a large share of long-term residents and retirees who maintain their homes and invest in improvements over time. Nokomis has no downtown or city government of its own - the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Route 41) is the main corridor, connecting residents north to Sarasota and south to Venice for shopping, medical care, and services.
Nokomis Beach on Casey Key is the community landmark that most residents identify with first - a quiet Gulf-front beach that draws both locals and day visitors. The neighborhoods closest to the water on Casey Key and along the canals off Little Sarasota Bay have a distinct old-Florida character, with more varied property styles and heavier vegetation than the more uniform inland subdivisions. Nokomis is closely connected to Venice just five miles south, and many residents regularly move between the two communities for daily needs and services.
