West Palm Beach Elite Patio Covers builds sunrooms, glazed patio enclosures, screen rooms, insulated aluminum patio covers, pergolas and carports across West Palm Beach, FL and Palm Beach County.
Everything we put up is engineered to Florida Building Code wind load for the actual address rather than assembled from a kit: footings sized for the span, documented uplift connections, county product approvals submitted with the permit, and powder-coated extruded aluminum with screw chases instead of sheet metal and self-tappers.
Glazing, screen and electrical rough-in are all done by our own crew rather than subcontracted out.
The reason enclosure is our emphasis is simple. A screened patio here is genuinely pleasant for about half the year, and from June onward the humidity decides the matter no matter how much air moves through it. A glazed room with a mini-split is usable every day, at a fraction of what a conventional addition costs.
It is also a bigger and more technical job than a screen room, with real consequences if the glazing, the insulation or the conditioning is specified badly. So we quote both honestly, explain what each one will actually feel like in August, and let you choose rather than selling the expensive one by default.
Our Patio Cover Services in West Palm Beach, FL
Screened Porches & Screen Rooms
Half of our sunroom enquiries begin as screen porch enquiries, and a good number of them should end there too. Screen costs the least of anything we build, and for a space used after five it gives up almost nothing.
Patio Enclosures
Enclosure is a word that hides a price range. On one slab it can mean a screen wall, a vinyl panel system or an insulated glass room, and the top of that range costs several times the bottom.
Sunrooms, Three-Season & Four-Season Rooms
This is the page the rest of the site is built around. The question is almost never sunroom or no sunroom.
Retractable & Motorized Screens
Retractable screens sit between an open patio and a built enclosure. They drop when the insects arrive and roll away when they do not, and nothing about the view becomes permanent.
Rescreening & Screen Repair
Rescreening is the smallest invoice we write and the one we push hardest. A cage frame routinely outlasts three or four sets of mesh, so a tired enclosure is usually a tired surface on a sound structure.
Pool Cages & Pool Enclosures
The question we get most about pool cages is whether it can be glass. Over open water the answer is nearly always no, and the reason is worth understanding before anybody prices it.
Screen Doors & Hardware
Every enclosure we build in West Palm Beach lives or dies on its door. It gets used more than the room it opens into, and it is the part that fails first.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated panel roof is the decision that settles whether the space under it can ever become a room. In West Palm Beach that is nearly always the real question behind the quote.
Aluminum Patio Covers
Nearly everything on this site is built from the same material, so it is worth setting out what a plain aluminium cover actually is and when it is all you need. It is a powder-coated extruded frame carrying a roof, and the quality range hiding inside that description is wide.
Alumawood & Composite Covers
Wood-tone composite systems exist because people want timber beams and nobody wants to re-stain them. The extrusion is embossed and finished to look like stained wood.
Lattice Patio Covers
Lattice is the product people buy when they wanted something else. Spaced rafters, no solid roof, less money, and then a patio still hot at three in the afternoon and still wet during a storm.
Wood Patio Covers
We build in timber and we talk most people out of it. Nothing in aluminium gives the same weight over an outdoor kitchen, and on a house with heavy trim an extruded frame can look tacked on.
Pergola Installation
An attached pergola is the cheapest permanent structure we put up, and in this market it is very often phase one of something larger rather than an end in itself. Two out of three owners who add one ask about screening it within a couple of years, and a good share of those eventually ask about glass.
Freestanding Pergolas
A freestanding pergola stands on its own footings and absorbs the whole wind load by itself. That is the entire engineering problem, and in Palm Beach County it is not a small one.
Louvered & Adjustable Pergolas
An adjustable louvered roof is the most flexible thing you can put over a patio without enclosing it. It is also the point where a lot of West Palm Beach owners should stop and ask whether they wanted a room.
Carports
A carport here is bought for the car rather than for the parking space. Sun does the damage, to dashboards, seat leather and clear coat, and a roof costs a fraction of what a garage does.
Gazebos & Pavilions
A pavilion is the structure people build for the view and then stop using at dusk. Around West Palm Beach the insects make that decision for you, so we would rather plan for them on day one.
Outdoor Kitchens & Living Spaces
Where the kitchen sits relative to the enclosure is the decision that matters, and it is usually taken backwards. People choose the appliances first and then ask us to roof them.
Patio Lighting & Ceiling Fans
In a screened room the ceiling fan is the entire climate system, so it deserves choosing properly. In a glazed and conditioned room it is a comfort device and every rule changes.

About West Palm Beach Elite Patio Covers in West Palm Beach, FL
West Palm Beach Elite Patio Covers has spent over 15 years building enclosed and covered outdoor space across Palm Beach County. We started rescreening pool cages out of one truck and grew one job at a time, with the same crew arriving each morning. Today we build sunrooms, three-season and four-season enclosures, screen rooms, insulated covers, pergolas and carports for homes, and enclosure and shade structures for restaurants, condominium associations and schools.
Building here is its own discipline. Wind load governs the structure, the county wants product approval documentation for everything in it, salt air finds any coating not made for it, and the wet season tests every drainage detail nobody thought about. A conditioned glazed room adds another layer again, because the moment a space is conditioned the energy code has an opinion about the glass, the insulation and how the junctions are detailed.
We also tell people when not to hire us. If your frame is sound, rescreening costs a fraction of a rebuild and that is what we will quote. If you want a room for evenings between November and April, a screen enclosure is the right product and a four-season room is money you do not need to spend. We would rather sell the smaller job and keep the customer.
Service Areas
West Palm Beach Elite Patio Covers serves West Palm Beach, FL and surrounding communities including:
How It Works
Free design consult
We measure the slab, check the host wall and roof framing for a real attachment, look at orientation and sun path, and ask how you want to use the space in July rather than in January.
Engineering, approvals and permit
We size framing, footings and tie-downs for your wind exposure, assemble the county product approval documentation, and pull the permit. Association packages go in at the same time, not afterwards.
Build
Footings and anchors first, then framing, roof, glazing or screen, and any electrical rough-in. Most residential enclosures go up in four to seven days once concrete has cured.
Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished room with you, check every door, latch and seal, hand over the manufacturer warranties and back the workmanship in writing. Out-of-state owners get the same walkthrough by photograph and video.

What West Palm Beach Customers Say
Four-season room off the back with a mini-split. They talked us out of the bigger footprint we asked for and were right. Permit, approvals and HOA all handled without us chasing anyone.
We wanted glass, they explained what conditioning would actually cost to run and we went with vinyl panels instead. Room gets used every day from October. Quote was what we paid.
We are only here in the winter. They did the whole enclosure while we were in Michigan and sent photographs every few days. Walked us through it on video before final payment.
Old cage, I assumed a rebuild. They checked the frame and anchors and rescreened it instead for a third of the price. Doors work properly for the first time in years.
Commercial Enclosure & Shade Work Across Palm Beach County
Commercial work here is mostly four things: restaurant and bar patios that want to extend their season without losing the view, condominium and HOA pool cages, covered walkways between buildings, and school or daycare play shade. All four are engineered, permitted work, and all four fail at the anchors rather than at the screen or the glass.
We build on engineered footings with documented tie-downs and county product approvals, and we sequence the work so a restaurant or a community can keep using the space while it goes up. If your property manager, association or insurer wants stamped drawings, we produce them rather than sending you off to find an engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a sunroom or patio enclosure in West Palm Beach?
Yes, and it is more paperwork than most people expect. The structure is permitted and inspected, and Palm Beach County wants documented product approvals showing the framing, glazing and fasteners are rated for the wind zone at your address. We assemble that package and pull the permit as part of the job.
What does a sunroom cost here?
It depends far more on what kind of room it is than on square footage. A three-season room with vinyl or acrylic panels over an existing slab sits at the low end. A four-season room with insulated glass, an insulated roof and conditioning sits well above it. We measure, check the slab and the attachment, and quote in writing at no charge.
Three-season or four-season?
Ask yourself whether you will use the room in August. If the honest answer is no, a three-season room with vinyl or acrylic panels does everything you need for meaningfully less money. If you want it usable year-round with the doors shut, you want insulated glass, an insulated roof and a mini-split, and there is no shortcut to that.
Is a screen room the better buy?
Often, and we say so regularly. If the space is for evenings, if you like the air moving, or if the house is seasonal and empty through the summer, screen gets you most of the benefit for a fraction of the cost. Screen stops being the right answer the moment you want the space conditioned.
How do these structures hold up in a hurricane?
That depends entirely on the engineering and the anchors, not the product name. We design to the wind load for your specific address, use approved framing and glazing assemblies, and anchor with documented embedment. Structures that come apart in a storm are almost always kits on inadequate footings with no approval paperwork behind them.
Can you build while we are up north?
Yes, and a good share of our work is scheduled exactly that way. We handle the association submission and the permit, send photographs at each stage, and do the walkthrough on video. Summer is also our quieter season, so an out-of-state owner usually gets a better date than a resident booking in November.
