About Us | Relax & Roam - St Petersburg - Tampa

How We Started

They say the best ideas come to us in moments of rest and relaxation. For us, that moment was at our annual company retreat on beautiful Anna Maria Island. Away from the hustle and bustle, trying to take a break from work, that’s when it hit us – the idea for Relax & Roam.

Wishing we could stay on vacation forever, the thought of our home and responsibilities brought us back to reality. We found ourselves wishing for a world where we could roam freely without stress or strings attached.

40+ Years of Home
Building Experience

Leveraging our experience running LaBram Homes, St. Pete’s premier custom home builder, we realized we had the expertise, the connections, and the passion not only to make this dream a reality for ourselves but for other homeowners too.

We’ve transformed this knowledge into Relax & Roam, and now you’ll never have to worry about your home again. Our bespoke home watch services mean your property is in expert hands. Welcome to boundless freedom and peace of mind. Welcome to Relax & Roam.
