Your patio sits empty most of the year because of South Florida heat and humidity. A full conversion gives you a climate-controlled room built to Florida hurricane standards - one you will actually use in August.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion in Hollywood, FL takes your existing outdoor slab or screened porch and turns it into a fully enclosed, climate-controlled room - contractors build walls, install impact-rated windows and doors, add a proper roof, and connect the space to your home's air conditioning, with construction typically taking one to three weeks once permits are approved.
If your patio currently sits empty from May through October because the heat and humidity make it unusable, this conversion is the most direct solution. You end up with a room that stays comfortable year-round - one that works as a home office, a playroom, or a place to have dinner without fighting the bugs and afternoon storms that make open-air living difficult in South Florida. For homeowners who want the bugs-only fix without full enclosure, our screen room installation is a lighter-weight option.
The existing slab gives you a head start that a ground-up addition does not have - but it still needs to be assessed. In Hollywood, sandy soil and constant moisture mean slabs shift over time, and a reputable contractor will check yours before quoting.
If you walk past your patio for five or six months a year without stepping into it because of the heat and humidity, you are losing the use of a significant part of your home. A climate-controlled sunroom solves that problem - it becomes a room you actually use year-round, not just on the handful of comfortable days South Florida gets in winter.
Torn screens, corroded aluminum framing, and a roof that lets in rain during afternoon thunderstorms are signs that your current enclosure has reached the end of its useful life. Rather than paying to repair an aging screen room, many homeowners find it makes more financial sense to convert the space into something more durable and livable.
If your family has outgrown your home's interior but a full room addition feels too big a project, a sunroom conversion is a middle path. It adds real, usable square footage - a home office, a playroom, or a reading room - without the complexity and cost of building from scratch. The existing slab gives you a head start.
Hollywood gets an average of 62 inches of rain per year, and if your patio slab has developed low spots where water collects after storms, that is a sign the slab has shifted or settled. Left alone, standing water accelerates slab deterioration and can eventually affect your home's foundation. A conversion that includes proper drainage addresses the problem early.
Every conversion starts with an honest assessment of your existing slab - its thickness, levelness, and condition - because what is there determines what the project actually costs. We build walls, install impact-rated windows and doors as required by Florida law, frame or reinforce the roof, and connect the finished room to your home's air conditioning system. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we prepare the drawings and documentation your association needs so that step does not hold up the build. For homeowners looking for something more fully custom with unique layouts and materials, our enclosed patio rooms service covers that scope.
We handle all permitting with Broward County's building department and schedule the required inspections through final sign-off. If your existing screen enclosure needs to come down before we can build, that removal is part of our scope. Homeowners who want to convert a raised deck rather than a ground-level slab can explore our deck-to-sunroom conversion option, which addresses the additional structural considerations that come with elevated decks.
Suits homeowners who want a climate-controlled room usable every month of the year, connected to existing home HVAC.
Suits homeowners with an existing screen enclosure who are ready to add walls, glass, and air conditioning to the space.
Suits homeowners whose existing patio slab has settled, cracked, or needs leveling before the enclosure work can begin.
Suits homeowners who want a self-contained cooling and heating system for the sunroom rather than extending existing ductwork.
Hollywood's summers average daytime highs in the low-to-mid 90s with humidity that makes an uninsulated space unusable from May through October. That is most of the year. Florida's building code also requires impact-resistant windows and doors on every enclosed room, which means conversions here cost more upfront but come built to protect your home during hurricane season - and can qualify you for homeowner's insurance discounts. Broward County's permitting process adds four to eight weeks before construction starts, but a permitted room adds documented square footage that shows up on your home's record when you sell. Homeowners in Cooper City and Pembroke Pines face the same local requirements and benefit from working with a contractor already familiar with Broward County's review process.
Hollywood also has a large number of HOA communities - especially in the western neighborhoods and planned developments - where exterior additions require association approval before a permit application can even be submitted. A contractor who knows local HOA documentation requirements can run both processes in parallel, which saves weeks. Hollywood's older housing stock, most of it built between the 1950s and 1980s, means patios and screen enclosures are common starting points for conversions - and the soil conditions here make a proper slab assessment non-negotiable before any walls go up. For more information on Florida's wind-resistance requirements, the Florida Building Commission publishes the code standards that apply to every sunroom in this area.
Reach out by phone or the contact form and we will respond within one business day. We ask about your patio size, whether you have a screen enclosure, and what you want to use the space for - enough to decide whether a site visit makes sense before we quote anything.
We visit your home, measure the patio, assess the existing slab for level and condition, and note anything that affects cost - like an enclosure that needs removal first. You receive a written, itemized quote within a few days of the visit, with no pressure to sign.
Once you sign a contract, we submit the permit application to Broward County and, if your neighborhood has an HOA, the association approval request at the same time. Permit review typically takes four to eight weeks - we handle the paperwork and track the status so you do not have to.
Active construction usually takes one to three weeks for a standard room once permits are in hand. A Broward County inspector visits to verify the work meets code - we schedule this - and then we walk you through the finished room and hand over all permit documentation.
Free site visit. Written estimate. No pressure to sign - just honest answers about what the project involves for your specific home.
(754) 356-0749We submit and track your permit application with the Broward County Building Division from start to final inspection - you never have to call the building department yourself. Your finished room comes with full documentation that protects you at resale.
Hollywood's sandy, moisture-rich soil means slabs shift more than homeowners expect. We check thickness, levelness, and condition during the site visit so the quote reflects the actual project - no surprises about slab work partway through the build.
A large share of Hollywood's neighborhoods have active HOAs that require architectural review before any exterior addition. We prepare the drawings and documentation those associations need and submit alongside the permit application so both processes run at the same time rather than back-to-back.
Every window and door we install meets Florida's hurricane-resistance requirements for this wind zone - not as an upgrade but as the baseline. The National Association of Home Builders notes that code-compliant impact windows also reduce outside noise and UV exposure, which protects your furniture and your peace of mind.
Every one of these proof points ties back to the same thing: we build sunrooms in Hollywood the way Hollywood requires them to be built - properly permitted, hurricane-rated, and slab-assessed from the start. That is what protects your investment and your home.
