Generic kits never quite fit. We design and build custom sunrooms around your specific house, yard, and climate so you get a room you actually use year-round.
Custom sunrooms in Alafaya are designed and built around your specific home and yard, rather than cut from a prefab kit. Most projects in the area run between $25,000 and $70,000 depending on size, glass type, and whether climate control is included, and construction typically takes one to three weeks once permits are approved.
If you have a screened lanai that bakes from May through October or a back porch that fills with wind-driven rain every afternoon, a custom sunroom turns that dead space into something you use every day. Unlike a standard room addition, a custom sunroom is built around glass and light - which means the design decisions you make about insulation and cooling matter enormously in Alafaya's climate. If you are comparing options, our sunroom design page walks through how we approach those choices with each homeowner before a single permit is filed.
If your existing lanai or screened enclosure sits empty from May through October because the heat and humidity make it unbearable, that is a clear signal you need an enclosed, climate-controlled space. In Alafaya, a screened porch is essentially a seasonal room - a custom sunroom turns it into usable square footage for most of the year. Waiting means another summer of watching your backyard through glass.
If your family has grown out of the current layout but you like your neighborhood and your lot, a sunroom addition adds meaningful living space without the disruption of a full interior renovation. Many Alafaya homeowners use the new room as a flex space - a home office, a playroom, or a casual dining area - that changes with the family. Delaying the addition means losing square footage you already have the yard to build on.
Central Florida's summer storm pattern brings heavy afternoon thunderstorms almost daily from June through September. If you find yourself retreating inside every afternoon and losing the outdoor time you moved to Florida for, a sunroom gives you a sheltered, comfortable space that still feels connected to your yard. You keep the light and the view without the rain and the heat.
Water stains on the ceiling or walls near where your roof meets the house, or glass panels that look cloudy between the panes, mean an existing enclosure is failing. These problems get worse with each rainy season rather than stabilizing on their own. They often signal that the original construction was not built to the standard Florida's climate requires, and replacing it with a properly built custom room is more cost-effective than repeated patch repairs.
Every custom sunroom project starts with a site visit and a design conversation - not a catalog. We look at your existing structure, measure the space, talk through how you plan to use the room, and then build a proposal around what actually makes sense for your home. For homeowners who want full control over the design from the ground up, our sunroom construction service covers new builds on an existing slab or a new concrete foundation. For homeowners who already have a design direction and want help refining the details, our sunroom design service is the right starting point.
Most custom sunrooms we build in Alafaya include climate control from the start - either an extension of the home's existing system or a dedicated mini-split unit - because the alternative is a room you can only use six months a year. Glass selection is equally important: low-e panels block a significant portion of solar heat while still letting in natural light, which makes a real difference in how comfortable the room stays and how much your cooling system has to work. We walk every homeowner through these decisions in writing before any permit is filed.
Suits homeowners building from scratch on an existing patio or a new concrete foundation - full design control from footprint to finish.
Suits homeowners with an existing screened enclosure who want to upgrade to a fully enclosed, climate-controlled room using the existing slab.
Suits homeowners who need the room to function as genuine living space in July and August, not just during mild months.
Suits homeowners in Alafaya's planned communities who need a design and materials package prepared for HOA architectural review before construction begins.
Most homes in Alafaya were built in the 1990s and 2000s on modest lots - typically between 5,000 and 8,000 square feet - and almost all of them came with a screened-in lanai or back porch. Those screened spaces made sense when the homes were new, but the climate reality of Central Florida means they sit unused for most of the year. Adding a properly insulated, climate-controlled sunroom is the most practical way to recover that square footage and make it livable. Florida's wind-resistance requirements and Orange County's permitting process mean the construction standards here are genuinely demanding, which is why the contractor you choose matters as much as the design itself.
We build custom sunrooms throughout the Alafaya area, including in neighborhoods like Waterford Lakes where HOA approval is part of every exterior project, and in communities near Oviedo where homeowners are making the same investment in extending their indoor-outdoor living space. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we prepare the design and materials package for your architectural review submission before any permits are filed, so there are no surprises after construction begins.
We respond to all inquiries within one business day. When you reach out, we ask a few questions about your existing space and how you want to use the room so the site visit is focused and useful.
We visit your home, measure the space, and discuss your options in person - including glass type, cooling, and foundation requirements. You receive a written proposal with a line-item price before you commit to anything. No vague estimates.
We handle the Orange County permit submission and, if applicable, prepare your HOA package. This stage typically takes two to six weeks. Construction does not begin until permits are in hand - no exceptions.
Once permits are approved, the crew completes most builds in one to three weeks. After the county inspection passes, we walk through the finished room with you and hand over all permit and inspection records for your home files.
No obligation. We visit your home, look at the space, and give you a written price - before you decide anything.
(407) 738-4742Every custom sunroom we build in Alafaya is designed with the local climate in mind from day one - insulated glass, proper flashing where the new roof meets your home, and climate control specified before permits are filed. The most common failure in sunrooms here is a room that looks great but becomes unusable in July. We build to avoid that outcome.
We handle the Orange County permit process ourselves - from application to final inspection sign-off. A permitted sunroom is officially part of your home record, which matters when you refinance, sell, or need to make an insurance claim. We never suggest skipping the permit to save time. You can verify any contractor's active Florida license at myfloridalicense.com.
A large share of Alafaya's neighborhoods are governed by HOAs with specific rules about exterior changes. We prepare the full design and materials package for your architectural review submission before any permit is filed, so approval comes before construction - not after. Homeowners in communities like Waterford Lakes and Stoneybrook East face this step on nearly every exterior project, and we handle it routinely.
You receive a detailed, line-item proposal before signing anything - covering foundation, framing, glass, climate control, permits, and cleanup. The number you agree to at the start is the number you pay at the end. If something changes during the project, we discuss it with you before the cost moves, not after.
Every one of these proof points connects to the same outcome: a sunroom that is built correctly the first time, passes inspection, and stays comfortable and watertight through years of Florida summers and storm seasons.
