EnclosePro Alafaya Sunrooms & Patios handles sunroom construction, patio enclosures, and screen room installation for Union Park homeowners. We know the older CBS ranch homes in this area, manage Orange County permits, and respond within 1 business day.
Older ranch-style homes in Union Park were built in an era when adding a sunroom meant attaching to a concrete block exterior wall - a process that requires the right anchoring hardware and knowledge of how CBS construction behaves. Our sunroom construction process starts with a structural assessment of the attachment point so the finished room performs the way it should for decades.
Union Park gets Central Florida summer storms almost every afternoon from June through September - heavy rain, lightning, and wind that soaks an open patio in minutes. A properly built patio enclosure keeps the space usable through storm season and meets Orange County wind-load standards that apply to all new structures in this part of east Orlando.
Florida mosquitoes are active year-round, and the wetland areas near east Orange County make them a persistent nuisance on warm evenings. A new screen room gives Union Park homeowners a place to sit outside without the insects, rated for Florida wind loads and built with corrosion-resistant aluminum that holds up through years of Florida humidity.
Union Park summers push temperatures well into the 90s with humidity that makes any unshaded outdoor space oppressive from May through September. A four season sunroom connects to your existing air conditioning and stays comfortable year-round, giving the family genuinely usable square footage that does not depend on the weather outside.
Union Park homes were built on modest lots with floor plans that were standard for the 1970s and 1980s. A sunroom addition expands your living footprint, adds permitted square footage that appraisers count, and creates the indoor-outdoor connection that Florida living calls for without the costs of a full room addition.
Many Union Park homes have existing back patios that collect standing water after heavy rain because of the sandy, uneven drainage common in this part of Orange County. Converting that patio into a fully enclosed room solves the drainage and weather exposure problems at once, using the existing slab as a starting point.
Most homes in Union Park were built between the 1970s and the mid-1990s - a 30-to-50 year range that puts the original roofing, stucco exteriors, and any existing patio structures well past their designed lifespan. Concrete block and stucco construction is the norm here, which holds up well when properly maintained but develops hairline cracks around windows, corners, and door frames as the stucco ages through decades of Florida heat and rain. Those cracks matter when a sunroom is being attached to an exterior wall, because the new structure puts mechanical stress directly on the connection point. A contractor who does not account for the condition of the existing stucco coat before attaching framing hardware is setting up a moisture problem inside the wall.
Union Park also sits on sandy Orange County soil with a naturally high water table. Low-lying yards and concrete slabs can pool after heavy summer rain, and that water can work toward a foundation or slab edge over time. For sunroom and enclosure work, proper perimeter drainage and footing design are not optional extras - they are what keeps the structure stable and dry over the long term. Orange County building code enforces wind-resistance requirements that directly affect how enclosures are framed and anchored, and older homes here sometimes need reinforcement at the connection point before construction can begin.
Our crew works throughout Union Park regularly, and we are familiar with the ranch-style and tract homes that make up most of this neighborhood - their concrete block walls, single-story rooflines, and small backyard footprints. We pull permits through the Orange County Building Division on behalf of our customers and handle the plan review and inspection process from start to finish, so homeowners are not making extra trips to the county office.
Union Park sits along East Colonial Drive, the main east-west road that runs through the community and connects it to Orlando and the broader east Orange County corridor. The neighborhood is close to the UCF campus and borders the older parts of east Orlando, giving it a mixed character - some blocks are well-maintained owner-occupied homes, others have a higher share of rentals with more deferred maintenance. We scope every job carefully before quoting because the condition of the existing structure really does vary from one street to the next here.
We also serve the adjacent communities that border Union Park to the east and north. If you are in Orlando or the Waterford Lakes area, we bring the same permitting knowledge and construction standards to those projects as well.
Call or submit a request online. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a site visit at your convenience. No sales pressure, no commitment required.
We measure your space, inspect the existing slab and exterior wall condition, check drainage around the perimeter, and give you a written, itemized estimate. This is where any structural prep work gets identified before you commit to the project.
We file the Orange County building permit and manage the review process on your behalf. Once the permit is approved, construction runs three to six weeks with county inspections completed at each required stage.
After the county closes out the final inspection, we walk the finished space with you and confirm every detail is right. You receive the closed permit documentation for your records - which matters when you eventually sell the home.
We serve Union Park and the surrounding east Orange County area. Written proposals, Orange County permits handled, no pressure.
(407) 738-4742Union Park is a census-designated place in unincorporated Orange County, east of Orlando and a few miles west of the University of Central Florida campus. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1970s and mid-1990s, giving the community a character that is noticeably different from the newer planned developments to the east. Homes here are predominantly single-story ranch and tract styles in concrete block construction, sitting on modest quarter- acre lots with attached garages. The neighborhood has a mix of long-term owner-occupied homes and rentals, with residents who tend to know their neighbors and take care of their properties. You can learn more about the community at the Union Park Wikipedia page.
East Colonial Drive runs through and around the community, connecting Union Park to downtown Orlando to the west and to Waterford Lakes Town Center and the UCF corridor to the east. Building permits and zoning for the area are handled through Orange County rather than a city office. Neighboring communities include Waterford Lakes to the east, which we also serve regularly, and Orlando to the west.
