If your sunroom bakes in the heat, leaks after storms, or just feels stuck in another decade, we can fix that - with impact windows, real insulation, and climate control built for South Florida.
Sunroom remodeling in Fort Lauderdale means transforming an existing screened porch, lanai, or dated Florida room into a finished living space you can actually use - upgrading windows, adding insulation, updating electrical, and finishing the floors and ceiling. Most projects take six to ten weeks from permit to final walkthrough.
A lot of Fort Lauderdale homeowners come to us with the same problem: they have a sunroom that was great in theory but is too hot in summer, leaks after heavy rain, or just looks nothing like the rest of the house. Sunroom remodeling solves all three. If you are also thinking about an entirely new addition, our screen room installation service is worth a look as well.
Much of Fort Lauderdale's housing stock dates from the 1950s through the 1980s, and many of those homes have screened enclosures or Florida rooms that were added informally - sometimes without permits, sometimes with materials that no longer hold up. A proper remodel brings the space into the current century and makes it a real room, not just an afterthought off the back of the house.
If you avoid your sunroom from May through October because it feels like a greenhouse, that is a clear sign the space is not working. In Fort Lauderdale, a room without proper insulation and climate control is essentially unusable for more than half the year. A remodel with real insulation and a cooling solution turns it back into a room you want to be in.
Fort Lauderdale gets over 60 inches of rain a year. A sunroom with aging seals or gaps around windows will let moisture in - often in ways you cannot see until the damage is done. Stains on the ceiling, a floor that feels slightly spongy, or a persistent musty smell after a storm all mean water has been getting in. Catching this early saves you from a much larger repair bill later.
If the glass in your sunroom looks hazy between the panes, the seal has failed and moisture is trapped inside - it will not clear up on its own. Windows that stick, rattle in the wind, or have visible gaps around the frame mean the room is no longer weathertight. In a city where hurricane season runs six months of the year, that is a real safety concern.
Many Fort Lauderdale homes have screened enclosures or Florida rooms that were added decades ago and now feel dated compared to the rest of the house. If guests walk through your home and the sunroom feels like a different decade, a remodel can bring it in line with your updated interior - and turn it into a space you are proud to show off.
We handle complete sunroom remodels from the ground up: replacing or upgrading windows and wall panels, adding proper insulation, updating electrical, refinishing floors and ceilings, and installing climate control. If your space needs a dedicated mini-split unit or a connection to your existing central air system, we work through both options with you. For homeowners whose older spaces also need fresh design thinking, our sunroom design service can help you plan the right layout and materials before construction starts.
Every remodel we do in Fort Lauderdale goes through the city's permit process and uses impact-rated windows that meet Broward County's wind-load requirements. This is not just about code compliance - it is about making sure the room you invest in today holds up for years and does not create problems when you sell. We also handle HOA documentation for communities that require architectural approval, which is common throughout Fort Lauderdale.
Suits homeowners who want to transform a screened porch or raw lanai into a fully conditioned, finished room with impact windows, insulation, and flooring.
Suits homeowners with a functional sunroom that needs updated windows, new flooring, fresh lighting, or a single system added - without touching the entire structure.
Suits homeowners whose sunroom is otherwise in good shape but has no cooling, making it unusable for most of the Fort Lauderdale calendar year.
Suits homeowners with older sunrooms that have standard glass or non-rated frames and want to bring the space up to current hurricane-resistance standards.
Fort Lauderdale averages highs in the low 90s from June through September, with humidity that makes it feel even hotter. On top of that, the city sits in Broward County's high-wind zone, which means any windows or wall panels installed in your sunroom must meet specific storm-resistance requirements - both for your safety and because your homeowner's insurance may require it. A remodel that ignores either of those realities will leave you with a room that is uncomfortable and vulnerable to the next named storm. We design every project around those two non-negotiables from the start.
We work across Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area, including homeowners in Plantation and Davie. Whether your home backs up to a canal or sits in a quiet inland neighborhood, the combination of heat, humidity, and salt air creates the same basic problem: a sunroom that was not built to handle South Florida's climate eventually stops working the way it should. A properly executed remodel fixes that for the long term - not just until the next heavy rain.
Submit a contact form or call us directly. We reply within one business day to learn about your space and set up a site visit - no price pressure, just a conversation about what you need.
We measure the space, assess the existing structure, and look for anything that could affect the project - like older wiring, moisture damage, or windows that need replacement to meet storm standards. You get a written estimate that breaks down exactly what is included.
Once you sign the contract, we submit the permit application to Fort Lauderdale's Development Services department. While the permit is being processed - typically a few weeks - you finalize material choices so everything is ready when work begins.
The crew works on weekdays during normal business hours. A city inspector checks the work at key stages - that is part of the process and a benefit to you. Before we pack up, we walk through the finished room together to make sure everything is right.
No obligation. We will walk through your space, answer your questions, and give you a written breakdown of what the project involves and what it costs.
(754) 243-8239We handle the entire permit process with Fort Lauderdale's Development Services department, from first submission to final inspection sign-off. That means your finished room is fully documented, legally built, and will not create problems when you sell or file an insurance claim. Fort Lauderdale Development Services oversees the review and inspections.
Every window we install in a Fort Lauderdale remodel meets Broward County's storm-resistance requirements. We do not offer a cheaper non-rated option because the code does not allow it and because a room with standard glass in a hurricane zone is not a room you want to own.
We walk through your space carefully before giving you a number. Everything goes in writing - labor, materials, permit fees. If something unexpected comes up during the project, we tell you before it hits your bill. What you agree to upfront is what you pay.
We know Fort Lauderdale's neighborhoods, its HOA approval processes, and the specific conditions that affect sunroom projects here - from the salt air near the Intracoastal to the older housing stock in Sailboat Bend. That local knowledge shows up in the quality and speed of the work. NARI sets the professional standards we hold ourselves to.
When you combine local knowledge, proper permitting, and storm-rated materials, you get a sunroom remodel that holds up in Fort Lauderdale's climate and adds genuine value to your home. That is the only kind of remodel worth doing here.
