Precision Plant City Deck & Fence builds covered decks and patio covers, screened porches, and wood fences for Temple Terrace homeowners - handling Temple Terrace Building Division permits and designing around the mature trees and older concrete block construction common throughout this city. We respond within one business day.
Temple Terrace gets daily afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, and an uncovered patio is essentially off-limits from midday onward during those months. A properly built attached patio cover or covered deck turns that space into somewhere your family actually uses - even in July. We design around the tree canopy and roof lines common on Temple Terrace properties, and we pull permits through the Temple Terrace Building Division for every project. See our covered decks and patio covers service for details on materials, drainage design, and what the inspection process covers.
The dense tree cover throughout Temple Terrace keeps the yards shaded but also brings mosquitoes and no-see-ums in the evenings. A screened enclosure lets you sit outside comfortably after dark without the bugs. Many Temple Terrace homes from the 1960s and 1970s were built without screened lanais, and adding one is one of the most practical outdoor upgrades available for this housing stock.
The larger lots in Temple Terrace - especially in the neighborhoods close to the original 1920s golf course development - have room for a freestanding pergola that creates a destination in the backyard without taking over the yard. We anchor pergolas to proper footings suited to Hillsborough County soil conditions and design them to carry Florida wind loads.
Many Temple Terrace properties have large, open backyards that run along neighboring lots with no separation. A wood privacy fence creates the backyard boundary homeowners want without the visual bulk of a masonry wall. We use pressure-treated posts to resist the moisture and termite pressure common throughout Hillsborough County.
Older Temple Terrace homes that had decks or porch structures added in the 1980s and 1990s are often overdue for assessment. Florida's heat-humid-rain cycle accelerates wood decay, and structures built before current permitting standards may not meet today's wind-load requirements. We inspect what is there honestly and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
Temple Terrace wood decks take a beating from the combination of tree debris, summer rain, and intense UV. An annual clean and a fresh seal every two to three years is the most cost-effective way to keep a wood deck from reaching the point where replacement is the only option. We apply stain and sealant that is matched to the wood type and current condition.
Temple Terrace is its own incorporated city, not a Tampa neighborhood or an unincorporated county pocket. That distinction matters for permits: structural projects here go through the City of Temple Terrace building division rather than Hillsborough County Building Services. Contractors who file with the wrong authority can add weeks to a project. Beyond the permit question, this city has an active tree preservation ordinance - meaning you cannot remove or significantly disturb tree roots without following a specific process. Any outdoor structure built close to mature trees in Temple Terrace requires a contractor who knows to ask about root zones before digging footings.
The housing stock here is also genuinely older than in most surrounding communities. The neighborhoods closest to the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club contain homes from the 1920s through the 1950s with larger lots and Mediterranean-style architecture. The postwar expansion added concrete block ranch homes through the 1960s and 1970s. These properties are solid but have their own demands: older foundations, stucco exteriors, and root-dense yards that younger houses simply do not have. A covered patio or deck attached to a 1960s ranch home in Temple Terrace is a different project than the same structure on a 2005 subdivision house in Riverview.
Our crew works throughout Temple Terrace regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck building and outdoor structure work here. One consistent feature of Temple Terrace jobs is the mature tree canopy. Whether a property is near the Hillsborough River greenway or several blocks away from the golf course, most lots have live oaks or other large trees that factor into how we set footings, route drainage, and position any structure.
Temple Terrace is compact - roughly five square miles - so orientation is straightforward. The streets closest to the original 1920s golf course layout follow a winding pattern that gives the area its distinctive character, while the neighborhoods closer to Fowler Avenue and 56th Street follow a more standard grid. The University of South Florida campus sits right on the western edge of the city, and that proximity shapes the mix of longtime homeowners, rental properties, and faculty residences we work on throughout Temple Terrace.
We also serve the areas directly around Temple Terrace. Homeowners in Zephyrhills to the northeast and in Riverview to the south are both within our regular work area. If your property sits near the boundary between Temple Terrace and either of those communities, we already know the territory.
Call us or submit our contact form and we will get back to you within one business day. Letting us know whether you have mature trees close to the build area and which part of Temple Terrace you are in helps us prepare for the site visit and give you a realistic scope before we arrive.
We come to your Temple Terrace home, assess the space, note any tree root or drainage factors, and walk through your options. You leave with a written estimate that breaks out labor, materials, and permit fees - and a straight answer on whether anything about the site will affect the cost or timeline.
Once you approve the estimate, we submit the permit application to the City of Temple Terrace on your behalf - not Hillsborough County. Plan for two to four weeks for city permit review before construction begins. We handle all the paperwork and keep you updated at each step.
Our crew builds the project, clears the site at the end of each day, and coordinates the city inspector walkthrough. We do a final walkthrough with you before we leave, answer any questions about maintenance, and make sure the work matches what you signed off on.
We handle the Temple Terrace Building Division permit, work around your trees and older property features, and respond within one business day. No obligation to get a quote.
(656) 300-1845Temple Terrace is a small, incorporated city of about 26,000 people tucked inside Hillsborough County and bordered on three sides by the city of Tampa. The city was originally developed in the early 1920s as a planned golf and citrus community - and the winding street layout from that era, designed around what is now the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club, is still visible in the older neighborhoods near the course. Those streets have larger lots, mature tree cover, and Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes that look nothing like the stucco tract houses in newer Tampa-area suburbs. The postwar decades added a large stock of concrete block ranch homes throughout the rest of the city, creating a housing mix that ranges from 1920s originals to 1970s ranches to rental properties near the USF campus.
The University of South Florida sits directly on the western edge of Temple Terrace, making USF the city's most prominent landmark and a daily reality for nearly every resident. Fowler Avenue connects the campus to the city's main commercial corridor, and the Hillsborough River runs along the western boundary, providing greenway access and riverfront parks that longtime residents know well. Temple Terrace sits within easy reach of both Brandon to the southeast and Zephyrhills to the northeast, both areas we serve regularly.
