A fully glass-enclosed solarium brings light from every direction and stays comfortable through Fort Lauderdale summers and storm seasons when it is designed and built correctly.
Solarium installation in Fort Lauderdale creates a fully glass-enclosed living space attached to your home, with glass on the walls and roof so light comes in from every direction - most projects take six to twelve weeks from permit approval through final walkthrough.
Many Fort Lauderdale homeowners come to us after years of avoiding their porch or backyard during afternoon storms and summer heat. A properly designed solarium solves both problems: hurricane-rated glass keeps the weather out, and the right cooling setup keeps the room comfortable even in July.
If you are weighing your options, our patio cover installation service is worth comparing - it is a simpler structure at a lower price point when full glass enclosure is more than you need right now.
If your patio is too hot, too exposed to rain, or too buggy to use comfortably, you are not getting value from that space. Fort Lauderdale's near-daily afternoon thunderstorms from June through September make uncovered or lightly screened outdoor areas frustrating. A solarium gives that space back to you.
Many Fort Lauderdale homes have older Florida rooms or screen enclosures showing torn screens, rusting frames, or gaps that let in rain and insects. If you are patching the same problems repeatedly, replacement with a properly built solarium often makes more financial sense than another round of repairs.
If your family has outgrown your home's interior but a full room addition feels too large, a solarium is a middle path. It adds real, light-filled square footage without the complexity of tying into your existing HVAC system or reconfiguring interior walls.
Fort Lauderdale receives an average of 62 inches of rain per year, much of it in intense, wind-driven bursts. If water is getting into your existing enclosed space during storms, that is a sign the structure was not built for South Florida weather. A solarium with hurricane-rated glass and sealed framing stays dry even in significant storms.
We design and build solariums from the ground up, starting with a site assessment and ending with a city inspection sign-off. Every project uses glass and framing systems that carry Florida product approval for the specific wind conditions in Broward County. If you want a prefabricated kit on an existing slab, we can do that. If you need a custom layout with a new concrete slab, dedicated cooling, and electrical, we handle every trade.
For homeowners who want something unique, our custom sunrooms service covers fully bespoke builds tailored to your home's architecture. If the solarium concept is right but the all-glass design feels like too much for your yard, we can also discuss a patio cover installation that adds weather protection with a more open feel.
Suits homeowners who want a faster timeline and a defined footprint on an existing concrete slab.
Suits homeowners who want a specific layout, premium glass options, or integration with the home's existing architecture.
Suits homeowners whose existing slab is absent, too small, or not in good enough condition to support the structure.
Suits homeowners who want the room to function as a true living space year-round with lighting, outlets, and a cooling unit.
Fort Lauderdale sits in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every glass panel, frame, and fastener in your solarium must meet some of the strictest wind resistance standards in the country. This is not optional - it is what keeps your new room intact during a storm. Contractors from outside South Florida often underestimate the material requirements, which leads to structures that look fine until the first serious weather event. We work exclusively in Broward County and we know exactly which products carry Florida approval for this region. You can learn more about those requirements through the Florida Building Commission.
The year-round heat and humidity also shape every design decision. Fort Lauderdale averages over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, and a solarium with standard clear glass can become uncomfortably warm within minutes on a sunny afternoon. We address ventilation and glass selection from the first conversation, not as an afterthought. Homeowners in Boca Raton and Pompano Beach face the same conditions and receive the same standards on every project we complete.
Call or submit the form and we reply within one business day. We will ask a few questions about your space and schedule a home visit at your convenience - no pressure, no sales pitch at this stage.
We measure the space, assess your existing slab or foundation needs, and review any HOA requirements. After the visit you receive a detailed written proposal covering design, materials, timeline, and total cost before you commit to anything.
We handle the permit application with the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Services on your behalf. Budget two to four weeks for approval. No physical work begins until the permit is posted - this protects you, not just us.
Foundation work, framing, and glass installation happen in sequence. A city inspector visits at least once to verify the work meets code. After the final inspection passes, we walk through the completed room with you and address anything that needs attention before we consider the job done.
We reply within one business day. No obligation, no sales pressure - just a straight conversation about your project.
(754) 243-8239We use only glass and framing systems that carry documented product approval for South Florida's wind zone. You can ask to see that documentation before signing anything - and a good contractor should hand it over without hesitation.
Every solarium we build is fully permitted through the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Services. A city inspector - not just our crew - signs off that the structure meets local code. That inspection record protects your investment when you sell.
South Florida's intensity means glass selection and cooling are not add-ons - they are part of the core design. We specify low-emissivity glass and coordinate cooling options so your room is comfortable in July, not just in December. See guidance from the U.S. Department of Energy on window technology at energy.gov.
We manage the permit process, coordinate any electrical or cooling subcontractors, and stay in contact throughout. You receive a detailed written proposal before any work starts, so the final bill matches the estimate you approved.
Fort Lauderdale's building requirements for glass structures are genuinely strict - and that is a good thing for homeowners. It means a properly permitted solarium here is built to a higher standard than most of the country. We have worked in this market long enough to know the permit process, the HOA landscape, and the material requirements that actually matter.
