Cabanas, additions, garage conversions, ADUs — permitted, inspected, warranted.
SaniCan LLC delivers reliable, licensed, locally-owned new construction service throughout St. Petersburg, FL. The same crew, the same phone number, and the same fixed-price quote — every time you call.
What we do
Small new construction is its own category — too big for a handyman, too small for a production builder. SaniCan LLC fills that gap. We build cabanas, additions, garage conversions, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), pool houses, detached offices, and small new-builds. Every project is permitted, inspected at every required stage, and delivered with a one-year workmanship warranty.
St. Pete is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and the right crew knows the difference between a Kenwood bungalow project and a Snell Isle waterfront. We run daily routes from Old Northeast to Disston Heights and have crew members specialized in historic preservation and high-end finish work.
What's included
ADUs and garage conversions have become some of the highest-ROI improvements in Pinellas County, both for rental income and for flexible family-housing needs. Done correctly — meaning permitted and inspected — they add provable square footage to your appraisal and qualify as legal dwelling units for short- or long-term rental. Done incorrectly (no permits, illegal kitchen install, undersized electrical) they can become a tear-down requirement at sale time. We do them right the first time, on permits, with the documentation that protects your appraisal and your title.
St. Pete's flood-zone rules in Shore Acres and Riviera Bay, the historic-district paint and material restrictions in Old Northeast, and the permit nuances along the bayfront all factor into how we plan and quote your project. We handle the paperwork side in-house.
On-site discussion of intended use, footprint, and budget. Initial sketch and budget range within a week.
Engineered plans, HOA submission if required, and permit package pulled. This stage typically runs 6–12 weeks.
Foundation, framing, mechanicals, finishes — all done in-house or with vetted, long-term subcontractors.
Final inspection, walk-through, and one-year workmanship warranty issued.
Honest pricing
Cabanas and pool houses typically $35k–$95k+ depending on plumbing, electrical, and finish level. Room additions $200–$350 per square foot turn-key. Garage conversions to living space $55k–$110k including all mechanicals. ADUs $140k–$280k+ depending on size and finish. Every quote is written and fixed, with milestone-based draws (never front-loaded), and we don't ask for final payment until you sign the walk-through.
St. Pete clients refer us to neighbors because we treat their 1920s craftsman with the same care we treat a modern Snell Isle build — different skill sets, same standard of finish.

Yes. We work with licensed structural engineers and submit complete permit packages. You don't deal with the county directly.
