EnclosePro Alafaya Sunrooms & Patios builds custom sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms for Orlando homeowners - from College Park bungalows to Lake Nona new builds. We handle city and county permits and respond within 1 business day.
Orlando's housing stock ranges from 1920s bungalows in College Park to modern homes in Lake Nona, and no single template fits every property. Our custom sunrooms are designed around your home's existing roofline, foundation, and exterior finish so the addition looks like it was always part of the house.
Orlando gets over 50 inches of rain per year, most of it falling in sudden, heavy bursts during the summer months. A patio enclosure keeps that rain out while meeting the Florida Building Code wind-load requirements that apply throughout Orange County - so your outdoor living space stays usable even when storms roll through.
Many Orlando homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have aging screen enclosures with oxidized aluminum frames, torn mesh, or posts that no longer stand plumb. We replace them with Florida-rated systems built to current wind codes, so you get another 20-plus years before the next replacement is needed.
Orlando summers are long and hot - running an outdoor space without climate control from May through September is not realistic for most families. A four season sunroom connects directly to your home's HVAC and uses low-e glass to hold back heat, giving you a comfortable room twelve months of the year.
Orlando home values have risen sharply in recent years, and a sunroom addition that adds appraised square footage is one of the more tangible ways to grow that equity. We build additions that integrate cleanly with your existing floor plan and meet the city or county permit requirements for structural additions.
A large share of Orlando homes have concrete patio slabs poured when the house was built that now sit unused because they are too exposed to heat and rain. Converting that slab into a proper enclosed sunroom uses the existing foundation and turns a neglected space into a room your family will actually use.
Orlando is not a single housing market - it is dozens of them, with homes ranging from 1920s wood-frame bungalows in historic neighborhoods like Thornton Park and College Park to concrete block ranch houses built in the 1970s and 1980s and modern construction in planned communities like Lake Nona. Each of those building eras creates different conditions for sunroom and enclosure work. Older historic homes may require design review if they sit in a historic overlay district. Mid-century concrete block homes often have original patio slabs that have settled unevenly and need assessment before a new enclosure is attached. Newer construction typically has more straightforward permit paths but stricter energy code compliance for new additions. A contractor who does not know which situation applies to your specific home will give you bad advice on scope and cost from the start.
Orlando's climate is the other major factor. The city averages over 50 inches of rain annually, the bulk of it falling in intense afternoon storms from June through September. Central Florida's sandy soil drains quickly in upland areas but holds moisture near lake edges and low-lying lots, and that soil movement is one of the primary reasons concrete slabs crack and shift over time. Hurricane Ian's passage through the area in 2022 reminded many homeowners that even an inland city can take serious storm damage. Every sunroom and enclosure we build is designed and framed to Florida Building Code wind-resistance standards, which are among the strictest in the country.
Our crew works throughout Orlando regularly, and we understand the permit process at both the City of Orlando Building Division and the Orange County Building Division, depending on which jurisdiction applies to your address. Many homeowners do not realize their property falls in unincorporated Orange County rather than the City of Orlando - we verify jurisdiction at the assessment visit and pull the permit through the correct office so there are no delays.
We work on homes across Orlando's different neighborhoods - from the older streets around Lake Eola and the Delaney Park area, to the University of Central Florida corridor, to the newer developments in the southeast near Lake Nona. The property types and permit paths differ meaningfully between those areas, and we know what to expect in each. The concrete block construction that dominates Orlando's housing stock requires different attachment details than wood-frame homes, and our crews handle both regularly.
We also serve nearby areas when projects take us south of the city. If you are in Kissimmee or nearby parts of Osceola County, we can come to you. For homeowners closer to the east Orange County line, we are also active in Union Park.
We reply to all new inquiries within 1 business day. When you reach out, have your property address ready - we use it to verify jurisdiction before the visit so we come prepared with the right permit information for your specific location.
We measure your space, assess the existing slab and structure, and discuss your goals. We give you a written estimate at this visit or within a few days - no pressure tactics, and there is no charge for the assessment.
Once you approve the estimate, we prepare and file all permit documents. City of Orlando or Orange County plan review typically runs two to four weeks. We track the permit and schedule construction as soon as approval arrives - you do not need to follow up with the building department yourself.
Construction typically runs three to eight weeks depending on scope. We schedule and attend all required inspections, and we do not consider the job finished until the final inspection is passed and you are satisfied with the result.
We serve homeowners across Orlando and the surrounding area. No pressure - just a free on-site estimate and honest answers about what your project will take.
(407) 738-4742Orlando is Florida's fourth-largest city and one of the fastest-growing metros in the United States. The city is best known internationally as home to Walt Disney World and a cluster of major theme parks, but for the roughly 320,000 people who live here, it is a working city with a wide range of neighborhoods. Historic areas like Thornton Park and College Park feature tree-lined streets and early 20th-century homes. The neighborhoods east of downtown near the University of Central Florida corridor blend apartments, townhomes, and single-family houses built across several decades. Further southeast, Lake Nona represents a newer wave of planned development with modern construction and medical district employment. According to U.S. Census data, about 42% of Orlando housing units are owner-occupied, meaning a large share of residents have a direct stake in maintaining and improving their properties.
The bulk of Orlando's housing stock was built between 1970 and 2000 - concrete block and stucco construction that was standard for Central Florida during that period. Those homes are now 25 to 55 years old, which means roofing, HVAC, and exterior finishes are at or past the end of their useful life in many cases. Screen enclosures and patio covers from that era are especially common candidates for replacement. We also serve homeowners in nearby communities including Waterford Lakes and Casselberry, both within easy reach of our Alafaya base.
