Screen Rooms

A screen room is exactly what it sounds like: a room enclosed with screens instead of solid walls or glass. It gives you a protected outdoor space where air flows freely, but bugs, leaves, and other debris stay out. Screen rooms are perfect for Florida's warm climate because they maximize ventilation while providing shade and protection from sudden rain showers.

Screen rooms work great as extensions of your home, pool enclosures, or standalone structures in your yard. You can put outdoor furniture in them without worrying about it getting damaged by weather or covered in pollen. Your family can enjoy meals outside without swatting away mosquitoes. And your pets can experience the outdoors in a safe, contained area.

At GoldKey Hollywood Sunrooms & Patios, we've been building screen rooms in Hollywood, FL since 2024. We understand the specific challenges of Florida's climate, from intense sun to heavy rains and high winds. Our screen rooms are engineered to handle it all while giving you years of comfortable outdoor living. The investment is affordable compared to fully enclosed additions, and the increase in usable space makes it one of the best home improvements you can make.

Screen rooms offer unique advantages that make them popular with homeowners throughout Hollywood:

• Bug-free outdoor enjoyment: Florida has no shortage of mosquitoes, flies, and other pests. Screen rooms let you enjoy fresh air and outdoor ambiance without constantly swatting insects or covering yourself in bug spray.
• Protection from sun and UV rays: Screens provide shade while still letting in plenty of natural light. This protects you and your furniture from harsh UV exposure that causes fading and sun damage.
• Extended outdoor season: Use your outdoor space even when it's raining or the sun is too intense. Screen rooms give you flexibility to enjoy the outdoors in conditions that would normally send you inside.
• Lower cost than sunrooms: Screen rooms are one of the most affordable ways to add functional square footage to your home. They require less material and labor than fully enclosed patio structures.
• Easy maintenance: Screens are simple to clean with a hose and soft brush. The aluminum framing requires virtually no maintenance and won't rust or deteriorate in Florida's humid environment.
• Increased home value: Adding functional outdoor living space is attractive to buyers if you ever sell your home. Screen rooms are especially appealing in Florida's climate.
• Versatile use: Screen rooms work for dining, entertaining, exercising, gardening, or just relaxing. They're also popular as pool enclosures that keep leaves and debris out of the water.

Every screen room we build is custom designed for your property. Here are some options to consider when planning your screen room project in Hollywood, FL:

Attached vs Freestanding

Attached screen rooms connect directly to your house, creating a seamless extension of your living space. They typically share a wall with your home and can often be accessed through existing doors or new openings we create. Freestanding screen rooms are separate structures in your yard, perfect for pool enclosures or creating a private outdoor retreat away from the main house.

Roof Styles

Choose from gable roofs that match your home's architecture, hip roofs for better wind resistance, flat-pan roofs for a modern look, or insulated roofs if you want better temperature control and rain noise reduction. We can also install ceiling fans to improve air circulation.

Screen Types

Standard fiberglass screens work well for most applications. For better visibility and durability, consider aluminum screens. If you want protection from small insects like no-see-ums, we offer fine-mesh screens. For pool enclosures, we recommend pool-grade screens specifically designed for chemical resistance.

Color Options

Our aluminum framing comes in various colors to complement your home's exterior. Popular choices include white, bronze, and almond. Screen color affects how much light enters and how well you can see through it. We'll help you choose options that balance visibility, aesthetics, and light transmission.

Door Styles

Add convenience with sliding screen doors, traditional hinged doors, or French door configurations. We can also include pet doors if you want your furry friends to have access to the screen room.

Building a screen room requires proper planning and professional installation to ensure it lasts for decades. Here's how we handle your project from start to finish:

We begin with a consultation at your home to measure the space, discuss your vision, and understand how you plan to use the screen room. We'll evaluate your existing structures, check for any site-specific challenges, and answer all your questions about materials, costs, and timeline.

Next, we create a custom design that fits your property and meets all local building codes. We handle permit applications and work with your HOA if needed. Once permits are approved, we schedule your installation at a time that's convenient for you.

Installation typically takes one to two weeks depending on size and complexity. We start by preparing the foundation and installing posts. Then we build the frame using engineered aluminum that's specifically rated for Florida's wind loads. The roof system goes on next, followed by screen installation and door hardware. We finish with trim work and a thorough cleanup.

Before we consider the job complete, we walk through the finished screen room with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. We explain maintenance procedures and answer any final questions. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties on both materials and labor.
