Stop losing your backyard to heat and bugs. A properly built solarium gives you natural light and outdoor connection every month of the year.
Solarium installation in Hollywood, FL means adding a fully glazed room to your home - glass or transparent panels on the roof and most of the walls - so you get maximum natural light while staying protected from rain, heat, and insects. Most projects take eight to fourteen weeks from contract to completion, including the permit review period required by Broward County.
If you have a screened porch or enclosed patio that sits empty most of the year, you already understand the problem. A solarium closes that gap by giving you a real room with the feel of outdoor living. If you are deciding between options, our patio cover installation service is a lighter-weight alternative worth comparing if full glazing is more than your project calls for.
In Hollywood's real estate market, a permitted solarium is a genuine differentiator - especially for buyers relocating from colder climates who specifically look for year-round indoor-outdoor living. The key is building it right: proper permits, impact-rated materials, and a foundation designed for South Florida's sandy soil.
If your outdoor patio or lanai sits empty from May through October because of heat, humidity, and mosquitoes, that space is not working for you. Hollywood's climate makes outdoor living possible year-round - but only if you have a climate-controlled, protected space to do it in. A solarium turns that frustration into one of the most-used rooms in your home.
If your home lacks natural light - especially in a back room or corner - a solarium addition can change that entirely. Florida has more sunny days per year than almost any other state, and a glazed room addition is one of the most effective ways to bring that light inside without sacrificing privacy or comfort.
Many Hollywood homes have aluminum-framed screen enclosures that are now 20 to 40 years old. If yours is rusting, sagging, or letting in insects and rain, replacing it with a proper solarium gives you a weathertight, climate-controlled room instead of a patched-up screen porch. The upgrade also brings the structure into compliance with current hurricane-resistance requirements.
If you already have a sunroom or solarium that leaks when it rains, has glass panels that look cloudy from the inside, or lets in noticeable drafts, those are signs the original installation was done poorly or has reached the end of its useful life. In Hollywood's salt-air environment, sealant and glazing systems degrade faster than in drier climates.
We build solariums that are genuinely usable in Hollywood's climate - not just in January. Every project includes low-emissivity glass rated to block South Florida's heat, a properly engineered slab foundation for our sandy coastal soil, and structural connections that meet Broward County's hurricane wind requirements. If you are starting with an existing screened enclosure, we assess it first and tell you honestly whether it can serve as the base or needs to come down.
For homeowners who want a fully tailored space - specific dimensions, interior finishes, HVAC integration - our custom sunrooms service covers that scope. Both paths deliver a permitted, year-round usable room - the difference is mainly in how much design flexibility you want and how early in the process we start planning the layout together.
Suited to homeowners who want a fully tailored design - specific glass coverage, footprint, and interior finish - built from the ground up on a new slab.
A faster path to a finished room for homeowners with a standard footprint, lower budget, or a firm move-in deadline.
Ideal for Hollywood homeowners with an aging screened porch who want to upgrade to a weathertight, climate-controlled space without removing the entire existing structure.
Hollywood sits less than two miles from the Atlantic Ocean, which means every outdoor structure here faces salt air, year-round humidity, and a rainy season that runs from June through September with daily afternoon storms. Standard residential-grade frames and sealants degrade quickly in that environment - marine-grade aluminum finishes and silicone-based weatherproofing are not optional upgrades here, they are the baseline for a structure that holds up beyond the first few seasons. Broward County also sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, so all glazing and structural connections must meet wind-resistance standards that are stricter than what contractors in other states typically build to. That adds to the upfront cost but protects your investment when storm season arrives.
Hollywood's soil is predominantly sandy and sits close to sea level, which means foundation work deserves extra attention on every project. We work across all of Hollywood - from older concrete block homes near the beach and the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk area to the larger lots in West Hollywood. Homeowners in Hallandale Beach and Dania Beach face the same coastal conditions and hurricane code requirements - and we build to the same standard for every project in the area.
We will ask a few questions about your space and how you plan to use the room. Expect a reply within one business day, and we can typically schedule an on-site visit within the week.
We visit your home, measure the space, assess foundation conditions, and review any HOA rules. You will leave with a written proposal that specifies materials, scope, and total cost - no vague ballparks.
We handle all permit paperwork and submit to Broward County on your behalf. Permit review typically takes two to six weeks. We keep you updated throughout - no construction starts until the permit is issued.
We start with foundation work, then frame, glaze, seal, and connect HVAC and electrical. After construction, a county inspector verifies the work. We hand you the closed permit and walk you through the finished room.

(754) 356-0749Every solarium we build uses glass and framing rated to meet Broward County's wind-resistance requirements. We can explain the specific ratings of the materials we propose before you sign anything - you should never have to take a contractor's word for it.
We handle the entire permit process with Broward County and do not call the job complete until the final inspection passes. You get the closed permit in hand - the documentation that keeps your addition legal at resale and valid with your insurer.
Hollywood sits less than two miles from the Atlantic Ocean. We use aluminum frames with corrosion-resistant finishes and silicone-based weatherproofing specifically chosen to hold up in salt air and year-round humidity - not standard residential-grade components.
Hollywood's sandy, low-lying soil requires a properly engineered concrete slab. We assess ground conditions at your specific property before finalizing any foundation design - because a thin or poorly compacted slab leads to settling and cracking within a few years.
We have built these credentials specifically around what Hollywood homeowners face - coastal corrosion, strict hurricane codes, and a permitting process that punishes shortcuts. When you combine impact-rated materials with proper permits and a foundation built for sandy South Florida soil, you get a solarium that adds real value instead of becoming a liability.
