Planning Your Florida Home Additions and Enclosures

Are you thinking about building a sunroom, screen room or screened pool enclosure, but don’t know where to start? Below are things to consider before moving forward with the project.

How will the enclosure be used?

Identifying the main purpose of the room will give you some direction. A good way to begin the project is to sit down with your family and discuss what the addition will be used for, such as:

screen in an existing area for protection from bugs and yard debris
enclose an existing area with glass and screen to keep elements out
create a new space for entertaining, relaxing, hobbies, etc.

adding an enclosure under an existing porch/lanai roof
enclosing your pool or hot tub area
creating an entirely new space
