Sunroom Conversions & Upgrades

Not every sunroom project starts from scratch. Sometimes you have an existing space that needs improvement, or you want to convert a porch, patio, or other area into a proper sunroom. That's where our conversion and upgrade services come in.

Sunroom conversions involve transforming existing structures like covered patios, screened porches, or carports into fully functional sunrooms with windows, proper insulation, and climate control if desired. Upgrades involve improving existing sunrooms that are outdated, damaged, or not meeting your needs. Both options let you get more value from your home without the cost of building something completely new.

At GoldKey Hollywood Sunrooms & Patios, we've been handling conversions and upgrades in Hollywood, FL since 2024. We've seen every type of space you can imagine, and we know how to evaluate whether conversion makes sense or if you're better off starting fresh. Our goal is always to give you honest advice that saves you money while ensuring you get a sunroom that performs well for decades.

Here are some of the most common spaces we convert into beautiful, functional sunrooms:

• Screen room to sunroom: Add windows and insulation to an existing screen room to create year-round climate-controlled space. This is one of our most popular conversions because the foundation and roof structure already exist.
• Covered patio to sunroom: If you have a covered patio with a solid roof, we can enclose it with windows or screens to create protected living space. This gives you bug-free outdoor enjoyment without building an entirely new structure.
• Garage to sunroom: Convert an unused or underused garage into bright living space with walls of windows. This works especially well for detached garages that can become guest suites or home offices.
• Porch to sunroom: Enclose your front or back porch to create an entry sunroom that adds curb appeal and functional space. This is popular for older homes with large wraparound porches that aren't used much.
• Carport to sunroom: Transform an attached carport into beautiful living space. This typically requires more work than other conversions but can add significant value to your home.

Not sure if your space is a good candidate for conversion? We offer free consultations where we'll evaluate your existing structure, discuss your goals, and let you know what's possible. Sometimes a conversion makes perfect sense. Other times, you're better off with a new sunroom installation. We'll give you honest advice either way.

If you already have a sunroom but it's not quite meeting your needs, upgrades can dramatically improve comfort and functionality:

Window Upgrades

Replace old single-pane windows with modern energy-efficient glass that blocks UV rays and reduces heat transfer. This makes your sunroom more comfortable and can lower energy bills if you're climate controlling the space.

Climate Control Addition

Add HVAC to an existing three-season sunroom to make it usable year-round. This typically involves extending ductwork from your home's system or installing a dedicated mini-split unit. You'll also need insulation upgrades to make climate control cost-effective.

Roof Replacement or Insulation

Upgrade from a basic roof to an insulated system that reduces heat gain and sound from rain. Some older sunrooms have translucent panel roofs that need replacement as they age and discolor.

Flooring Improvements

Replace worn or outdated flooring with new tile, vinyl plank, or other materials appropriate for sunrooms. Good flooring makes the space feel more finished and can improve insulation if you're upgrading to year-round use.

Electrical and Lighting Upgrades

Add outlets, ceiling fans, and modern lighting fixtures to make your sunroom more functional. Good lighting extends usability into evening hours, and ceiling fans dramatically improve comfort in Florida's warm weather.

Screen and Frame Repairs

Replace torn screens, repair or upgrade worn framing, and fix doors that don't close properly. These smaller upgrades can give an older sunroom new life at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Every conversion and upgrade project is different, so we start with a thorough evaluation of your existing structure. We look at the foundation to ensure it can support any additional weight. We check the roof structure for soundness and proper drainage. We evaluate framing, electrical systems, and how the space connects to your home.

Based on this evaluation, we'll give you an honest assessment of what's feasible and what it will cost. Sometimes we find that a structure is in great shape and just needs new windows and finishes. Other times, structural issues mean you're better off removing the old space and starting fresh. We'll always recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value for your investment.

Once we agree on a plan, we handle all permits, engineering if needed, and scheduling. Our crews protect your existing home and landscaping during work. We coordinate with electricians, HVAC contractors, and other specialists if your project requires multiple trades. And we keep you updated throughout the process so you always know what's happening and when you can expect completion.

The result is a sunroom that looks and functions like new, often at significant savings compared to building from scratch. You get all the benefits of a modern sunroom without the disruption and expense of a major addition to your home. For more ideas on outdoor living spaces, check out our sunroom options.
