Your lanai or patio can become a real living space. We enclose existing patios with permanent walls, insulated roofs, and sealed panels that keep out heat, rain, and insects for good.
Enclosed patio rooms in Port Charlotte, FL turn an existing outdoor patio or lanai into a permanent living space using a framed wall system, a solid or insulated roof, and sealed panels, most projects complete in two to four weeks of active construction once the permit is approved.
Port Charlotte homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have concrete lanai slabs sitting mostly unused because the open screen enclosure that came with them has become too hot, too buggy, or too leaky to enjoy. Enclosing that space turns it into something you will actually use - a home office, a second living area, a quiet morning room. Because we are working from an existing slab, the project typically costs less than building an addition from scratch, and the disruption to your daily routine is minimal since most of the work happens outside your home.
If you want full climate control in the finished room, our all season rooms service takes things a step further with insulated walls, low-E glass, and a dedicated HVAC connection. We will explain the difference during your estimate and help you decide which approach fits your goals and budget.
If your screened patio sits empty for four or five months every year because heat, humidity, and afternoon storms make it unbearable, your current setup is not working. An enclosed patio room with proper insulation and ventilation turns that dead space into somewhere you actually want to be, even in the middle of a Florida summer.
Port Charlotte's intense UV exposure and frequent summer storms are hard on patio furniture, rugs, and cushions. If you drag furniture inside every time a storm rolls in or replace faded, water-damaged pieces every couple of years, an enclosed room solves that problem permanently and stops the spending cycle.
Even a well-maintained screen enclosure develops small tears over time, and no-see-ums - the tiny biting insects common throughout Southwest Florida - can pass through standard screen mesh anyway. If you are getting bitten on your own patio, upgrading to an enclosed room with solid panels eliminates the problem rather than patching it repeatedly.
Converting an existing lanai or patio into an enclosed room is significantly less expensive than building a new room from scratch, because the slab and often the roof structure are already there. If you have been thinking about adding usable square footage but the cost of a traditional addition feels out of reach, an enclosed patio room is worth pricing out.
We build enclosed patio rooms using several wall and roof systems depending on your budget, how you plan to use the space, and what your HOA allows. The most popular choice for Port Charlotte homeowners is insulated panel construction - panels with a solid, weatherproof exterior and an insulating core that significantly reduces heat gain compared to standard aluminum and screen. For homeowners who want more glass and light, we also build fully glazed rooms with operable windows that you can open on cooler days. Both options connect to your existing slab and roofline and can include a solarium installation upgrade if maximum natural light is the goal.
We also offer patio cover installation for homeowners who want shade and rain protection without full enclosure - a good option if you like the open-air feel but need relief from Port Charlotte's afternoon sun. Every enclosed patio room we build is permitted and inspected through Charlotte County, which protects your home's value and keeps your insurance coverage intact.

Port Charlotte averages over 240 sunny days per year, with summer temperatures regularly reaching the low 90s and afternoon thunderstorms arriving almost daily from June through September. A screened lanai offers no protection from those storms, which is one of the main reasons homeowners here upgrade to enclosed rooms. A properly built enclosed patio room with a solid insulated roof and sealed wall panels lets you use the space through a storm, protects your furniture from water damage, and keeps the bugs out permanently - not just until the screen tears again. Charlotte County's wind-load requirements also mean that every permitted enclosure is built to handle what Florida's storm seasons deliver.
We work throughout the area, including Warm Mineral Springs and Englewood. Many older Port Charlotte homes have lanai slabs from the 1980s and 1990s that are perfectly suitable as a foundation for an enclosure - we assess yours during the site visit and tell you honestly whether the slab needs reinforcement before we quote the job. For guidance on Florida's wind resistance requirements, the Florida Building Commission maintains current standards online.
We respond within 1 business day. The first conversation is short - we ask about your existing space, whether you have an HOA, and what you want to use the finished room for. No commitment required, just enough information so we can show up to your home prepared.
We visit your home to measure the space, check your existing slab, and look at how the new enclosure will tie into your roofline. We assess the slab condition before we quote - so if it needs reinforcement, you know before you sign anything. The written proposal follows within a few days.
Once you sign a contract, we submit the Charlotte County permit application and handle any HOA documentation your neighborhood requires. Permit approval typically takes one to three weeks. We manage that process and keep you updated - you should not have to follow up on permit status yourself.
Most of the work happens outside your home, so your daily routine is largely unaffected. Framing, roofing, and panel installation proceed in sequence, with county inspections at key stages. When the final inspection passes, we walk through the finished room with you and answer any questions before we leave.
Free on-site estimate. We assess your slab before we quote. No surprises.
(941) 246-0621Many Port Charlotte homes have existing lanai slabs from the 1980s and 1990s. We check your slab during the site visit - thickness, reinforcement, and condition - before we write a single number on a proposal. If it needs work, we tell you upfront. That conversation before the contract protects you from cost surprises mid-project.
We submit the permit application on your behalf and track it through Charlotte County Building Construction Services. A submitted application with errors or missing documents can set a project back weeks. We know exactly what the county requires and submit a complete package the first time.
Every enclosed patio room we build uses panels and framing connections that meet Florida's wind-load requirements for Charlotte County. That is what a county-permitted room requires, and it is also what your insurance company expects to see if a storm damages the structure. We do not offer an unrated shortcut.
Port Charlotte has a large number of deed-restricted neighborhoods where the HOA must approve exterior additions before the county permit is even submitted. We have navigated that process for homeowners throughout the area and know what review boards typically require. Verify contractor licensing at the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation before hiring anyone.
A slab check before the quote, a permit handled without delays, and materials built for Florida's storm season - those three things together are what separate a patio room that holds up from one that creates problems. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every project in Port Charlotte.
A glass-walled, glass-roofed solarium maximizes natural light while keeping you fully protected from heat, rain, and insects.
