Serving Greenacres, FL and surrounding areas. (561) 903-1614
South Florida's bugs, heat, and afternoon storms keep most patios empty. A properly built screen room changes that - fresh air and views of your yard, without the things that drive you back inside.
Screen room installation in Greenacres means building an aluminum-framed enclosure anchored to your existing patio slab - or a new concrete pad - with screen panels across the openings and a roof system above. Most installations take two to five days for the physical work, with a total project timeline of six to twelve weeks once Palm Beach County permits are included.
A screen room gives you the feel of being outside - fresh air, natural light, views of your yard - without the bugs, direct sun, or afternoon rain that make South Florida's outdoor spaces uncomfortable for much of the year. If you want air conditioning in the space, you would need a glass enclosure. But for a breezy, shaded outdoor retreat that costs significantly less, a screen room is usually the better fit and the better value for most Greenacres homeowners.
If you are still deciding between screen and glass, our patio enclosures page covers the fully enclosed option so you can compare both approaches side by side before you commit.
If you step outside in the evening and immediately retreat because of mosquitoes, no-see-ums, or the relentless sun, a screen room would change how you live in your home. In Greenacres, the combination of warm temperatures, retention ponds, and canals creates insect pressure that makes unscreened outdoor spaces genuinely uncomfortable for much of the year. A screen room turns that unusable space into somewhere you will actually want to spend time.
South Florida's afternoon thunderstorms are a near-daily occurrence from late spring through early fall. If your patio furniture and grill get soaked on a regular basis, you are losing the use of that space for a significant chunk of the year. A screen room with a solid or screened roof keeps the rain out while still letting air move through - and you stop making the same trip inside every time you see clouds building to the west.
Torn or sagging screens, rust stains on the frame, panels that have popped loose at the corners, or a roof that leaks during heavy rain are signs the structure has reached the end of its useful life. Screen enclosures in South Florida take a beating from UV exposure, salt air, and storm seasons. An aging structure that has been patched repeatedly is often more cost-effective to replace than to keep repairing.
In Palm Beach County's real estate market, a permitted and properly built screen room is a recognized selling point. If your home lacks a screened area and comparable homes nearby have one, you may be at a disadvantage when you list. A screen room that was built with permits and inspections is an asset on your disclosure form - one that was not can become a liability during the sale process.
Every screen room we build starts with an on-site measurement visit and a look at your existing patio or foundation. We check how the space drains, where the roof line sits, and whether any existing structure needs to be modified before framing begins. From there, we build an aluminum frame anchored to your slab - stainless steel fasteners throughout, so rust is not a problem five years from now - and install the screen panels and roof system of your choice. If you do not have an existing pad or yours is not large enough, we handle the concrete work first. We also submit all Palm Beach County permits and coordinate every required inspection so you do not have to chase anything down yourself. If you are weighing whether to go up to a fully enclosed room, patio-to-sunroom conversion is the path we would walk through with you.
Mesh selection is one of the most important decisions in a screen room project, and it is one area where local knowledge matters. Homes near Greenacres' canals and retention ponds need a finer mesh than standard to block no-see-ums. Properties with intense afternoon sun exposure benefit from a solar screen mesh that reduces glare and lowers heat inside the room. We cover all of this during the estimate visit so you get the right product for where your home actually sits, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation. If you want a more comprehensive outdoor enclosure later, we can discuss patio enclosures as a future upgrade path.
Best for homeowners who want a durable, low-maintenance outdoor enclosure at a straightforward price point, using proven aluminum framing.
Best for homes near canals, retention ponds, or wooded areas where smaller insects are a persistent problem with standard screen mesh.
Best for west-facing patios or homes with intense afternoon sun exposure, reducing glare and lowering the temperature inside the enclosure.
Best for homes without an existing patio slab, or where the current slab is not sized or conditioned well enough to anchor the new structure.
Greenacres sits in Palm Beach County, where hurricane season runs from June through November and the county has felt the effects of multiple significant storms in recent decades. Screen rooms built here must meet Florida's statewide wind-resistance requirements, which are among the toughest in the country. That affects which frame systems and screen products a reputable contractor will specify - and it is a legitimate reason why a properly built enclosure here costs more than the same footprint in a state without these standards. The Florida Building Commission sets these standards, and every structure we build is designed to meet them. Homeowners in Lake Worth Beach and Boynton Beach face the same permit requirements, and our crews know how the Palm Beach County building department works.
The flat terrain and high water table throughout this part of South Florida mean drainage planning is not an afterthought. If your project requires a new concrete pad, the grading and drainage around it need to be right from the start - standing water around a screen room foundation leads to long-term structural problems in a climate that delivers 60-plus inches of rain per year. Many neighborhoods in and around Greenacres are also governed by HOAs with their own approval requirements for exterior additions. We are familiar with this landscape and can help you prepare the documentation your association needs before we apply for the county permit - keeping both approval tracks moving in parallel rather than one holding up the other.
We ask about the size of the space, whether you have an existing patio slab, and how you want to use the room. You hear back within one business day. This is a quick, practical conversation - not a sales pitch - so we both understand whether the project is a good fit before anyone visits your home.
We come to your home, measure the space, look at the slab condition and drainage, and discuss mesh and roof options based on where your property sits. A written, itemized estimate follows within a few days - detailed enough that you can compare it fairly against any other quotes you receive.
We submit the permit application to Palm Beach County's Building Division and provide the drawings you need for any HOA submission. Permit review typically takes three to six weeks. We keep you updated on where things stand so you are never wondering what is holding things up.
The crew typically works two to five days. Most activity is outside, so your daily routine inside is largely unaffected. Once the build is complete, the county inspector signs off, and we walk you through the finished room - how the door hardware works, basic maintenance, and what to watch for after a storm. You keep all permit closeout documentation.

(561) 903-1614Every frame system and screen product we install meets Florida's statewide wind-resistance requirements for Palm Beach County. We can show you the wind speed rating and product documentation before you sign anything - because a screen room that fails in a tropical storm is not money well spent. This also matters for your homeowner's insurance coverage.
We submit to the Palm Beach County Building Division for every project we take on. That means your finished structure has been reviewed by a county inspector - and you have the documentation to prove it when you sell your home or need to make an insurance claim.
We ask about your property before recommending a mesh type. Homes near Greenacres' canals and retention ponds face heavier insect pressure from no-see-ums than properties farther from water. West-facing patios benefit from solar-blocking mesh. Getting this right during the estimate prevents the frustration of a finished room you still avoid.
We build the permit review period into your project timeline from the first conversation so "unexpected delays" are not a surprise. Most screen room projects in this area run six to twelve weeks total. We tell you that upfront, not after you have been waiting three weeks wondering what is happening.
A screen room is one of the most practical investments a South Florida homeowner can make - and the difference between one you love and one you regret usually comes down to the mesh choice, the wind rating, and whether permits were pulled. We get those three things right on every job.
