Serving Crestview, FL and surrounding areas. (448) 236-1042
Complete Crestview Fence & Deck serves Navarre homeowners with screened porch construction, wood and composite decks, privacy fences, and covered patio additions. We work throughout Santa Rosa County - from the subdivisions along Highway 98 to the homes near the Santa Rosa Sound - and we have been in business since 2017. We reply within one business day and build to the high-wind zone standards the Gulf Coast requires.
Navarre sits close to water on multiple sides, and mosquitoes and no-see-ums are a genuine problem from late spring through October. A screened enclosure makes the difference between outdoor space you actually use and space that sits empty during most of the year. Our screened porch and screened deck installation uses framing and hardware appropriate for Navarre's coastal humidity and salt air, so the structure holds up through Santa Rosa County's storm season without corroding or warping prematurely.
Most of Navarre's housing stock was built in the 1990s through 2010s, which means a lot of original wood decks are now 15 to 30 years old and showing real wear from the Gulf Coast humidity and sun. Composite decking is the low-maintenance replacement for that situation: it does not absorb moisture, does not need staining, and holds its color far better than wood under intense Panhandle UV exposure. For homes near the Sound, composite with stainless hardware is especially important for long-term durability.
Navarre summers bring intense afternoon sun and frequent Gulf-driven rain squalls. A covered outdoor structure lets you stay outside through both without cooking in direct sun or retreating inside every time a cloud builds up. Homes near Highway 98 with standard slab patios are natural candidates for a patio cover addition, and we build them to the wind-load requirements Santa Rosa County follows for coastal residential structures.
Many Navarre homeowners are military families who want a fenced yard for privacy or for kids and dogs - and who need the work done on a schedule that fits a PCS timeline. Pressure-treated wood privacy fence is a solid, cost-effective option for inland Navarre properties. For lots closer to the Sound where salt air is more direct, we discuss vinyl or treated wood with a quality sealant coat to extend service life.
In-ground pools are common in Navarre's single-family neighborhoods, and the decking around them takes a beating from heat, UV, chlorine splash, and foot traffic year-round. A properly built pool deck in this area needs a non-slip surface, adequate drainage away from the pool edge, and hardware that does not corrode in a high-humidity environment. We build pool decks in Navarre that are functional, code-compliant, and built to handle the climate.
Vinyl fence holds up noticeably better than wood in Navarre's coastal environment, particularly for properties within a mile of the Santa Rosa Sound where salt air accelerates wood decay and hardware corrosion. It requires almost no maintenance - no staining, no sealing, no annual checking for rust at the post hardware - which makes it a practical choice for military homeowners who may not always be on-site to keep up with maintenance.
Navarre is an unincorporated community in Santa Rosa County, wedged between the Gulf of Mexico and Blackwater Bay. That geography means almost every home in the area lives with some degree of coastal influence - salt air, high humidity, and the storm track that makes Gulf Coast hurricane season a real operational concern for anyone building outdoor structures here. The majority of Navarre homes were built after 1990, which puts a large portion of the housing stock at the age where original outdoor structures - decks, screened porches, fencing - are hitting the end of their designed service life. Combine that aging stock with the moisture load from the Santa Rosa Sound and seasonal tropical weather, and repair and replacement demand in this area is consistent year over year.
Sandy coastal soil throughout Santa Rosa County drains quickly in most spots but does not hold post footings as firmly as denser soils. In a hurricane-prone area, that matters. Santa Rosa County has been directly impacted by major storms, including Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricane Sally in 2020, both of which caused widespread damage to outdoor structures, fencing, and roofing across the county. Decks and screened enclosures that were not built with proper post depth, high-wind hardware, and code-compliant connections failed in those events. We build to the current Florida Building Code high-wind requirements on every project in Navarre, so the structure is not just comfortable when it is new - it holds together when the weather turns serious.
Our crew works throughout Navarre and the surrounding Santa Rosa County area, and we pull building permits for deck, screened porch, and fence projects through the Santa Rosa County Building Department. Navarre is unincorporated, so all residential permits come through the county office. We know the code requirements for covered structures, screened enclosures, and high-wind zone fastening schedules in this jurisdiction - the kind of detail that only comes from pulling permits in an area consistently, not just reading the code book once.
Navarre runs along Highway 98 between Fort Walton Beach to the east and Gulf Breeze to the west. The Navarre Beach barrier island sits to the south, across the Santa Rosa Sound, and is part of Gulf Islands National Seashore. Homes on the mainland subdivisions see moderate coastal influence - enough to matter for material choices - while homes directly on the barrier island or along the Sound face full salt air exposure and need coastal-rated materials throughout. We adjust material specifications based on exactly where in Navarre your property sits.
We also regularly serve Milton, about 25 miles north and inland along the Blackwater River, where the housing stock shifts from coastal subdivision homes to older in-town neighborhoods and wooded rural lots with very different project profiles. And to the east, Fort Walton Beach is another active area for us, with its own mix of waterfront and inland residential work.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and describe what you have in mind. We reply within one business day and can usually schedule an on-site visit within the same week.
We visit your Navarre property at no charge, review the site, and give you written pricing. For Santa Rosa County projects, we note material specifications appropriate for your distance from the water, since coastal exposure varies significantly across Navarre. No commitment required to get a number.
Once you approve the project, we handle the Santa Rosa County permit application and order materials. Permit review typically takes two to four weeks; we let you know when approval comes through and schedule the build date at that point.
Most projects take one to two weeks on site. We walk the finished work with you before we leave, address any questions, and coordinate the county final inspection. You keep all paperwork for your records.
We serve Navarre and the surrounding Santa Rosa County area. Free on-site estimates, no obligation, and we handle the Santa Rosa County permit process from start to finish.
(448) 236-1042Navarre is an unincorporated community in Santa Rosa County, situated along Highway 98 between Fort Walton Beach and Gulf Breeze. It grew quickly from the 1980s onward as military families and retirees were drawn to affordable waterfront-adjacent living, and today it is one of the more recognizable communities on the Florida Panhandle. The majority of homes are detached single-family houses built in the 1990s through 2010s - ranch-style and two-story layouts on moderate lots, with a mix of long-term owners and rotating military households connected to Eglin Air Force Base and NAS Whiting Field. Navarre is a working community, not a tourist corridor, and that shapes the type of home improvement work homeowners here prioritize.
Just to the south, Navarre Beach sits on a Gulf of Mexico barrier island as part of Gulf Islands National Seashore - a quieter, less crowded stretch of white sand that locals regard as one of the Panhandle's best-kept secrets. Homes on the island are elevated on pilings and face full coastal exposure, requiring different materials and construction approaches than mainland properties. To the west, neighbors in Mary Esther deal with similar salt air and Eglin-connected housing patterns, while to the east the community transitions into broader Santa Rosa County rural areas before reaching Pensacola. Whether you are in a subdivision off Highway 98 or closer to the Sound, Navarre is a community where homeowners invest in their properties and want work done right the first time.
