Take back your outdoor space from the heat and afternoon storms. A properly built patio cover makes your backyard usable again - every month of the year.
Patio cover installation in Hollywood, FL means adding a permitted, permanent roof-like structure to your outdoor space - one that blocks rain, cuts direct sun, and holds up through hurricane season. Most standard installations take one to three days of construction once permits are approved, with the City of Hollywood permit review typically adding a few weeks to the overall schedule.
Hollywood averages over 246 sunny days per year, but afternoon thunderstorms roll through almost daily from June through September. That combination makes an open patio frustrating to use during the months you want it most. A solid cover changes the equation - you get shade on the hot days and a dry space when the rain hits at 3 p.m. If you eventually want to close the sides as well, our patio enclosures service takes the next step.
In Hollywood's real estate market, a permitted patio cover is a selling point - especially for buyers looking for outdoor living space. An unpermitted cover, on the other hand, can stall a sale or force a price reduction when a buyer's inspector flags it. Getting the permit right from the start is worth more than the fee.
If the heat and afternoon storms have turned your patio into a space you use only a few months a year, that is a clear sign your outdoor area is not working for you. Hollywood's summer weather is intense, but a solid covered patio can extend your usable outdoor season - many homeowners with covered spaces use them year-round.
If your outdoor furniture, cushions, or flooring are showing sun damage or rust within a year or two of purchase, your patio is getting more direct exposure than it can handle. In Hollywood's combination of intense UV rays and salt air, unprotected surfaces deteriorate quickly. A patio cover reduces that exposure significantly.
If your current patio cover has sections that sag, panels that have shifted, or posts that wobble when pushed, it may not be safe heading into hurricane season. Visible rust on metal fasteners, cracks where the cover meets the house, or water stains on ceiling panels are all signs the structure needs professional attention.
If you bought your home and inherited a patio cover with no permit history, you may not know whether it was built to handle South Florida's wind requirements. This matters most when storm season arrives and when you go to sell. A contractor can assess the existing structure and advise you on whether it needs to be reinforced, replaced, or retroactively permitted.
We install patio covers built for Hollywood's specific conditions - not catalog systems designed for drier climates. Every project starts with the right material choice for your location and budget. Aluminum is our most common recommendation because it does not rust, holds up in salt air, and requires almost no upkeep. All covers are designed and installed to meet the wind-load requirements Broward County enforces, which are stricter than most other parts of the country.
If you want to take your outdoor space further - adding walls, windows, and climate control - our sunroom design service can help you plan that upgrade. A patio cover is often a smart first step, and we build them with future enclosure in mind when the homeowner wants that flexibility.
The most popular choice for Hollywood homeowners - connects to your home's wall or roofline, does not rust, and holds up in salt air without ongoing maintenance.
Suited to homeowners who want maximum shade and rain protection, with insulated panels that block heat and keep the space cooler than a bare metal roof.
Combines a solid or louvered roof with screen walls for homeowners who want bug protection alongside shade and rain coverage.
Hollywood sits inside Broward County's high-velocity hurricane zone, which means patio cover structures must be built to withstand wind speeds that are higher than most other states require. An open lattice cover that would be perfectly fine in Georgia or Texas may not meet Florida's standards here - and a cover that fails its inspection means delays, rework, and cost. We submit complete, accurate permit applications to the City of Hollywood's Building Division and build to the approved plans, so inspections pass the first time.
Hollywood's proximity to the Atlantic also means salt air is a genuine factor. The covers we install use aluminum systems with protective finishes that hold up in that environment without the rust streaks and frame degradation you see on lower-grade products within a few seasons. We serve homeowners throughout Hollywood and into neighboring communities - including Pembroke Pines and Miramar, where the same hurricane code requirements apply and where many neighborhoods have active HOAs that require pre-approval for exterior additions.
We will ask a few questions about your patio size, how you plan to use the space, and whether you are in an HOA. We reply within one business day and can typically schedule an on-site visit within the week.
We come to your home, look at your patio, take measurements, and review any site-specific factors. You leave with a written proposal covering materials, dimensions, timeline, and total cost - including what is included in the permit process.
We submit a complete permit application to the City of Hollywood Building Division on your behalf. Permit review typically takes a few weeks - we manage the process and keep you updated so you never have to wonder where things stand.
The crew typically completes a standard cover in one to two days. Once installed, we schedule the final inspection with the City of Hollywood. After the inspector signs off, we hand you the certificate of completion - keep it with your home records.
Free on-site estimate. No pressure. Full permit management included.
(754) 356-0749Every patio cover we install uses posts, beams, and fasteners rated for the wind loads required in Broward County's hurricane zone. We can show you the wind rating of the system we propose before you commit - that transparency matters when storm season is a few months away.
We submit a complete, accurate permit application to the City of Hollywood's Building Division and follow it through to the final inspection. You get a city-issued certificate of completion - the document that proves your cover was built correctly and protects you at resale.
Hollywood sits close to the Atlantic Ocean, and we use aluminum systems with corrosion-resistant finishes specifically chosen for that environment. Marine-grade materials cost a little more upfront but last significantly longer than standard-grade components in coastal conditions.
Many Hollywood neighborhoods - particularly in the western parts of the city - have HOAs with rules about exterior additions. We ask about your HOA at the first meeting and help you prepare the drawings your association needs before any work begins.
These credentials reflect what actually matters to Hollywood homeowners - storm-ready construction, clean permitting, and materials that hold up in coastal conditions. Every project we close comes with a city-issued certificate of completion and a structure built to stand up to the next hurricane season. You can verify any Florida contractor's license status through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation - it takes about two minutes and shows whether the license is active.
If a patio cover is the first step and a full enclosed room is where you want to end up, our sunroom design service helps you plan the whole project from the start.
