Screen enclosures, decks, shades, and awnings across Sarasota and SW Florida

NorthStar Aluminum provided outstanding service from start to finish! Their team did an exceptional job on my screen enclosure quality craftsmanship, professional communication, and they truly understand how to build for Florida’s climate. The installation was smooth, and the finished product looks great and feels built to last. Highly recommend them for pool, lanai, or patio screening needs!
Our experience with North Star from start to finish was simply the best. Jeff, the sales associate, was professional, informative and ethical. Logan was very responsive and knowledgeable. The two Tylers were reliable, respectful, punctual and thorough. The finished product retractable awning is beautiful and functional! We recommend North Star with the highest rating.
If you’re looking for a new cage or even replacing a popped out screen Tyler with North Star is the way to go he was very dependable on time and was honest and fair not only did he do my cage but my parents as well! Next up a nice sunshade getting installed on the back porch thanks again Tyler you and your team rock!
Tyler and his crew did a fantastic job on our lanai cage replacement. He spent the time to get to know us and our wants. The cage demolition and construction was quick and efficient. His followup was great, too. Overall it was a great experience!
Great customer service, competitively priced and completed installation ahead of schedule. We love our new awning which expands our outdoor living space and highly recommend NorthStar Aluminum.
NorthStar Aluminum did a refresh screening of my Lanai with a new Door. Tyler the owner was the Best to work with. I called Monday. Tyler came out the next day, promt and professional. He was very patient in explaining in detail all that was involved. He set everything up. By Thursay the job was complete. Everything looks perfect. Great clean up. Great job. Give Tyler at NorthStar a call.
Tyler Ferris, owner of Northstar Aluminum is absolutely top-notch. We had a tremendous amount of hurricane damage to our lanais and carports at our 42 unit condominium complex on Siesta Key. Tyler and his crew did amazing work and gave us a more than fair price. His products are some of the best I have ever seen. I highly recommend him.
We are extremely happy with NorthStar Aluminum. We had some delays with another company, not NorthStar, and they worked with us and the schedule. The quality of the cage is great. The workmanship and the workers are excellent. We highly recommend them.
They came out, gave me a price which was less compared to everyone else. Showed up when they were supposed to, had the work done on time . they cleaned up their mess and everything works perfect. Great company to do business with.
Tyler does great work. Very easy to communicate with and he is transparent with pricing and job timeline. If you are looking for anything screen related go to Northstar!
We interviewed several companies for our second and third floor screening and railings replacements. As a result we contracted with Northstar Aluminum There is no doubt that we made the right decision. Workers were on time, installed everything according to our expectations and cleaned up at the end of each workday. I strongly recommend Northstar for any railings and screen work.
Nice neat work and they certainly knew what they were doing. Understood exactly what needed to be done and completed all of it 1 hour ahead of schedule. Clean up was perfect. They will be my first call the next time I need that kind of work completed.
NorthStar traveled quite a distance to do a small job at a fair price. I highly recommend NorthStar for projects large and small. Job well done gents!
Tyler and his team did an amazing job. Installers were very professional and efficient. The new lanai screen is beautifully done, built to new codes, and will keep out the pesky no-see-ums. We were amazed at how clear the visibility is when looking out. Northstar offers a lot more to protect your abode. Highly recommended.
Was hesitant on if I wanted to screen in my lanai but after speaking with Tyler I was convinced it was not only the right choice but more affordable than I thought. I love sitting on my porch now!
Every one of them started with a conversation about a space.
Full renovations, not patch jobs
An enclosure that has been in the Florida sun for fifteen years rarely needs one panel. The work we would rather do is the whole structure at once, so it comes back looking like a new cage on a frame you already paid for.
- — Full rescreen — every panel, not just the torn one
- — Optional full screw replacement, stainless throughout
- — Optional full repaint in Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior
Open an entire wall at the touch of a button
A motorized screen wall closes the lanai against sun, rain, and insects, then retracts out of sight when you want the view back. Hurricane-rated systems hold the opening when a storm comes. As an authorized SunPro dealer and installer, we build the structure it mounts to as well as the screen itself.
- — Spans up to 30 feet
- — Smart-home integration with saved presets
- — Lithium battery and integrated solar — never needs to be plugged in
- — Somfy and Dooya motorization
Built beyond code, a step above
Every structure is engineered per parcel to the Florida Building Code wind loads for the coast — 125 mph and up. Not one has failed. Sealed drawings back the design, and the permit and inspection records back the build.
SuperScreen mesh, the gold standard for strength and lifespan, over marine-grade aluminum framing. CECO coated stainless fasteners carry a rust-free guarantee, and every anchor into the structure is stainless steel.
Every cage is fabricated on your property rather than shipped in as a kit and made to fit. That is how the structure ends up matching the house instead of the catalog, and it is why the spans get as long as they do.
Built differently, on purpose
The big builders run crews you'll meet once. The product dealers install what the factory ships. NorthStar was built differently on purpose: the team you meet is the team you get, from the first walkthrough to the final one, and we're licensed to build all of it — the structure and the shading, as one job.
You feel it at quote time, when one number covers the whole project instead of three quotes that don't quite meet. You feel it at permit time, when one contractor carries the job through inspection. And you feel it two summers from now, when something needs attention and you know exactly who to call.
