FAQs About Our Screen Rooms Services
What is the main difference between a sunroom and a screen room?
The biggest difference is windows vs. screens.
- A Screen Room uses mesh screens to let the breeze in while keeping bugs, leaves, and debris out. It’s an ideal way to enjoy the fresh air in comfort.
- A Sunroom is a true home addition with glass windows, insulation, and climate control (air conditioning and heat). It’s a year-round living space that adds square footage and value to your home.
Can your structures withstand a hurricane?
Absolutely. This is one of our top priorities. All of our sunrooms, screen rooms, and pool enclosures are custom-engineered to meet or exceed the stringent Florida Building Code requirements for wind resistance in the Orlando area. We build for durability and your family’s safety.
Will a sunroom get too hot to use in the Florida summer?
Not with our modern materials! We use high-performance, insulated glass with special coatings that block harmful UV rays and significantly reduce heat transfer. Paired with insulated roof panels and your home’s A/C, your sunroom will be a comfortable oasis even on the hottest Orlando days.
Do I need a permit for a sunroom or pool enclosure?
Yes, in almost all cases, a building permit from your local city or county (like Orange County or the City of Orlando) is required. But don’t worry—we handle the entire permitting process for you, from submitting the plans to scheduling final inspections. It’s part of our complete, hassle-free service.
What about my Homeowners' Association (HOA)?
Most HOAs have specific guidelines for additions like sunrooms and enclosures. We are very experienced in working with Central Florida HOAs and can provide the necessary drawings and design specifications you need to submit for their approval.
How long does the installation process take?
Once all permits and any HOA approvals are secured, the on-site construction is surprisingly fast. A typical screen room or pool enclosure can be built in 1 to 2 weeks. A glass sunroom may take 2 to 4 weeks. The permitting phase can vary, but we work diligently to keep your project moving forward.
