We handle the full build - from foundation assessment and permit filing to impact glass installation and city inspection - so you get a room that lasts.
Sunroom construction in Fort Lauderdale covers everything from foundation assessment through final city inspection, and most projects run three to five months from contract to completion - with construction itself taking two to six weeks once permits are approved.
Most homeowners who call us are coming from one of two places: they have an underused screened porch or lanai that is only comfortable a few months a year, or they need extra living space and do not want the disruption of a full interior addition. A properly built sunroom solves both. The key word is "properly" - in Fort Lauderdale that means impact-rated glass, a foundation suited to our sandy soil and high water table, and a permit pulled through the city before a single nail goes in.
If you are still deciding on the style and layout before committing to construction, our sunroom additions page covers the full range of addition types we build.
If your outdoor living space sits empty from May through October because of the heat and humidity, you are losing most of the year's value from that space. A sunroom with proper cooling turns that underused area into a room you can enjoy 365 days a year - not just during Fort Lauderdale's mild winter months.
If your patio has a roof but open sides, it is exposed to everything South Florida throws at it - afternoon thunderstorms, mosquitoes, and blowing debris during storm season. Enclosing that space into a proper sunroom gives you a clean, protected room that works in any weather.
A sunroom is one of the most cost-effective ways to add livable square footage without the full complexity of a traditional addition. If you find yourself wishing for a dedicated reading nook, a home office, or a casual dining space, a sunroom can solve that without a major renovation.
Older screen enclosures and aluminum-framed patio rooms in Fort Lauderdale take a beating from salt air, humidity, and annual storm seasons. If your current enclosure is deteriorating, replacing it with a properly built sunroom - rather than patching it again - is often the smarter long-term investment.
We handle every phase of the sunroom construction process in-house. That means the same team that designs your room pulls the permit, pours the foundation if needed, installs the glass, and is there for the city inspection at the end. We build both three-season and four-season rooms, and we connect climate-controlled rooms to your home's existing HVAC system or set up a dedicated mini-split. For homeowners who want to step back from an existing sunroom and start fresh, we also offer full sunroom remodeling services.
Every project starts with a free on-site assessment where we check your existing slab (or lay out plans for a new one), review the exterior wall attachment point, and confirm there are no surprises before we put a number on paper. If you are adding to an existing sunroom addition or expanding an enclosed patio, we factor all of that into the design before we write the proposal.
Best for homeowners who want a fully insulated, climate-controlled room connected to their home's cooling system.
A good fit for homeowners who want an enclosed, comfortable space for Fort Lauderdale's cooler months without a full HVAC connection.
For projects where the existing slab needs reinforcement or a new footing is required before framing can begin.
We handle the full city permit process and coordinate the final inspection - you receive copies of all records when the job closes.
Fort Lauderdale sits in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under Florida's statewide building code, which means every glass panel in your sunroom must meet strict impact-resistance standards - no exceptions. That requirement adds cost compared to national pricing guides, but it is also what makes a Fort Lauderdale sunroom a real investment rather than a liability every June through November. We also deal with a local housing stock that skews older: a large share of homes in Fort Lauderdale were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and older concrete slabs often need assessment or reinforcement before a sunroom structure can sit on them safely.
We build throughout the Fort Lauderdale area, including homeowners in Pompano Beach and Hollywood, where the same Broward County impact requirements apply and many properties share the same older-slab challenges we see throughout the city.
We start with a call to understand your project, then visit your home within a few days. During the site visit we check your existing slab or discuss a new footing, review the exterior wall connection point, and take measurements. No charge, no commitment required.
After the visit we deliver a written estimate that covers the structure, glass, roofing, electrical or HVAC connections, and permit fees. We also spell out who handles each permit - that should always be us, not you. We respond to follow-up questions within one business day.
Once you sign, we submit the permit application to Fort Lauderdale's Building Services department and handle any HOA documentation your neighborhood requires. Both processes run at the same time. This phase typically takes two to six weeks - we keep you updated throughout.
With permits in hand, we handle foundation work, framing, glass installation, and any HVAC connections. When construction is complete, a city inspector reviews the finished room. After the inspection passes we do a final walkthrough with you and hand over copies of all permits and inspection records.
We visit your home, check the existing slab, and give you a detailed written quote before you commit to anything.
(754) 243-8239Many Fort Lauderdale homes from the 1950s through 1980s have patio slabs poured thinner than what a sunroom structure requires. We inspect the existing foundation during the site visit and factor that into our estimate - so the number we give you at the start is the number you pay at the end.
We submit the permit application, communicate with Fort Lauderdale Building Services throughout the review, and coordinate the final city inspection. When the job closes, you receive copies of all permits and inspection records. Those documents protect you if you ever sell the home or file an insurance claim. See the NAHB guidance at nahb.org for what to expect from permitted addition projects.
Broward County requires impact-rated glazing in all new enclosed additions - we treat this as the starting point, not an upgrade. That means your sunroom is ready for hurricane season from day one, and you are not paying a premium to add what should have been included from the start.
We have worked throughout Fort Lauderdale's residential neighborhoods - from mid-century concrete block homes near the Intracoastal to newer construction in HOA-governed communities. That local familiarity means fewer surprises during permitting and a finished room that fits the character of your neighborhood.
Every sunroom we build is permitted, inspected, and designed for Fort Lauderdale's climate and building requirements - so the finished room adds to your home's value rather than creating a problem at the next sale. Call us or submit a request and we will set up a free on-site visit.
