Fire Alarm Systems


Fire Alarm Systems Installed and Serviced Across St. Pete

Coordination

Documented and Labeled

Inspection Ready

 Fire alarm systems affect nearly every trade on the job. We stay in sync with your GC, electricians, HVAC, and finish crews to avoid delays and conflicts. From box rough-in to final trim, our scheduling is predictable, our scope is clear, and our team shows up when promised. The result: a smoother project, fewer surprises, and a fire alarm install that integrates seamlessly.

Inspection Ready

Documented and Labeled

Inspection Ready

 Our fire alarm installations are built to pass the first time. Whether it’s the fire marshal or an annual inspection. Devices are mounted correctly, tested and logged.  Everything is code-compliant from top to bottom. We don’t cut corners, so there’s no scrambling.  When inspectors show up, they see clean work, systems that perform well, and the paperwork to back it up. 

Documented and Labeled

Documented and Labeled

We don’t hand off a mystery. Every cable is labeled. Every zone is mapped. We provide accurate device lists, battery calculations, and panel programming sheets that maintenance teams actually use. This level of documentation saves hours when it’s time to troubleshoot, test, or expand the system. You’ll never be stuck tracing wires or guessing what connects where.

Fire Alarm Installation in St. Petersburg

Done Clean. Done Right. Done On Time.

If you’ve ever lost a week waiting on a no-show fire alarm sub or failed inspection because a strobe was mounted too high — you know exactly how much damage sloppy work can do to your schedule.

We install commercial fire alarm systems across St. Petersburg and southern Pinellas County with one priority: pass inspection on the first go and make your job easier, not harder.

From backboxes to final trim, we do it the right way — to code, to spec, and without holding up your CO.


Trusted by GCs, Property Managers, and Commercial Owners Across St. Pete

Whether you’re building on Central Ave, rehabbing an old structure in Kenwood, or managing a strip center in Lealman, we understand the different demands each job brings.

We’re not a flaky sub who disappears when the pressure’s on. We’re the fire alarm contractor that communicates clearly, documents everything, and works cleanly with other trades — no chaos, no surprise delays.

Here’s what you can expect:


  • Permit-ready drawings, calcs, and submittals
     
  • Clean, labeled wiring that doesn’t look like spaghetti
     
  • Devices installed after finishes — not before
     
  • Panels placed where they’re accessible and serviceable
     
  • A team that coordinates with your super and keeps the project moving
     

We’ve worked on new builds near the Trop, retrofits in the Warehouse Arts District, and fit-outs all around 4th Street. We know how to install clean and get it passed in St. Pete.


What “Done Right” Looks Like in a Fire Alarm Install

There’s a difference between just getting it in — and doing it the right way. Here’s how we handle fire alarm installs across St. Petersburg:


  • Fire-Rated Cabling That’s Routed Clean – FPL, FPLR, or FPLP depending on spec, secured and labeled, not just zip-tied and tossed in the ceiling.
     
  • Device Placement That Passes the First Time – Proper spacing on strobes and smokes. Pull stations at the right height. Heat detectors in the right zones. No dead air, no guesswork.
     
  • Panel Location That’s Service-Friendly – We don’t jam panels in broom closets or above mop sinks. We plan for the long-term.
     
  • Voltage Drop and Battery Calcs Done Early – So your inspection isn’t held up by last-minute issues.
     
  • Backboxes In Before Drywall – We coordinate with your trades before the walls close up. Saves time and rework.
     
  • As-Builts and Zone Maps That Actually Help – Your maintenance team (and future techs) won’t have to guess what goes where.
     

We build systems that keep businesses open and inspectors satisfied. That’s why so many St. Pete GCs bring us back job after job.


Preventing Problems Before They Start

We’ve been called in too many times to clean up someone else’s mess. It’s always the same mistakes:

  • Trimmed too early — Devices get damaged during painting or grid install
     
  • Missed backboxes — Now drywall has to come down
     
  • Inaccessible panels — Hard to service, hard to reset
     
  • No spare capacity — The panel’s full on day one
     
  • Grounding issues — Now your panel is faulting randomly
     
  • No drawings — Good luck diagnosing a problem without a zone map
     

These aren’t complicated problems — they’re the result of someone rushing or just not caring. We do care. That’s what makes the difference.


Local Codes, Local Knowledge

Fire codes in Pinellas County are strict — and St. Petersburg has its own nuances when it comes to permitting and inspections. We’re based here. We’ve worked with the St. Pete Fire Marshal. We understand how to prep for final sign-off and what local inspectors actually want to see.

From the Gulfport Marina to MLK Business District, we know the local rules and how to stay ahead of them. That means fewer delays and smoother sign-offs.


Post-Storm and Retrofit Work in the St. Pete Area

Flooded panel in Shore Acres? Lightning strike near Coquina Key? Tenant ripped out a device during a remodel in Historic Uptown?

Yeah, we’ve seen it all.

We help St. Pete businesses recover quickly from fire alarm failures due to storms, tenant damage, or outdated systems. Our team inspects, repairs, and restores systems with minimal disruption — and we handle AHJ coordination and re-inspections so you don’t have to babysit the process.
