Our Patio Cover Services in Pembroke Pines, FL
Screened Porches & Screen Rooms
Ask anyone in Pembroke Pines what time they stop using the back yard and you will get the same answer: about the time the light goes. A screen room moves that boundary, and that is the entire value proposition.
Patio Enclosures
Most patio enclosures we build in Pembroke Pines are not built from nothing. There is already a slab, usually a cover, sometimes a twenty-year-old cage with two good walls left in it.
Sunrooms & Glazed Enclosures
A sunroom is the only structure we build that becomes part of the conditioned house. That changes the permit, the insulation, the electrical and the slab underneath it.
Retractable & Motorized Screens
Retractable screens exist for the patio that already has a roof and no walls. There are thousands of those in Pembroke Pines, built through the eighties and nineties, and dropping screens between the existing posts is the cheapest route to an evening-usable space.
Rescreening & Screen Repair
Screen has a service life of roughly ten to fifteen years in this sun, and much of west Broward went up between 1985 and 2005. That arithmetic is most of our calendar.
Pool Cages & Pool Enclosures
A pool cage is doing three jobs at once and only one of them is insects. It keeps leaves and debris out of the water, it cuts the chemical load, and in Broward it functions as the required barrier around the pool.
Screen Doors & Hardware
The door is the only part of a screen enclosure with moving parts, and in west Broward it decides whether the enclosure works at all. A leaf hanging open a quarter inch at dusk lets in everything the mesh was bought to stop.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated cover is a foam core bonded between two aluminum skins, spanning post to post with nothing underneath it. In a west Broward summer the foam is the difference between shade you stand in and shade you sit under for an hour.
Aluminum Patio Covers
Aluminum is what nearly everything here is made from, so the material is never the question. The question is the gauge, the section and who engineered the connection.
Alumawood & Composite Covers
Nine times out of ten, the reason a composite cover gets specified in Pembroke Pines is the review board rather than the homeowner. Bright white aluminum attracts comment.
Lattice Patio Covers
Between June and October it rains most afternoons here, and a lattice cover does nothing whatever about that. Start there, because more than half the people who ring us about one are picturing a roof.
Wood Patio Covers
We build wood, and in Pembroke Pines we build very little of it. That is not snobbery about the material.
Pergola Installation
An attached pergola takes support from the house on one side and two posts on the other. Cheaper than freestanding, and it reads as part of the building.
Freestanding Pergolas
A freestanding pergola stands on four posts of its own and touches the house nowhere. That is often the reason to build one here: on plenty of Pembroke Pines houses the back roof framing offers no honest place to hang a ledger.
Louvered & Adjustable Pergolas
A louvered roof is rotating aluminum blades. Open, it filters light like a pergola; closed, it sheds rain like a solid cover.
Carports
Before anything else with a carport, check what your association allows. Across much of west Broward a carport in front of the house is simply not approved, and the conversation ends there.
Gazebos & Pavilions
A gazebo or pavilion is a roofed structure standing away from the house with a pitched roof rather than a flat pan. It is a destination — over a hot tub, at the far end of a pool deck, or as the covered middle of an outdoor kitchen.
Outdoor Kitchens & Living Spaces
An outdoor kitchen here gets used during exactly the hours the mosquitoes do. That one fact should shape the whole design.
Patio Lighting & Ceiling Fans
A ceiling fan on a screened patio in west Broward is not a comfort item. Mosquitoes are weak fliers, and moving air keeps them off people more reliably than most of what gets sold for the purpose.
Pembroke Pines Elite Patio Covers builds screen enclosures, pool cages, sunrooms, insulated aluminum patio covers, pergolas and carports across Pembroke Pines, FL and west Broward County.
Everything we put up is engineered to Florida Building Code wind load rather than assembled from a kit: footings sized for the span, documented uplift connections, and powder-coated extruded aluminum with screw chases instead of sheet metal and self-tappers.
The screen work is done by our own crew, which is why our corners are square and our doors still latch in year five.
In South Florida the screen is the product. A patio here is unusable at dusk without it, and a bare slab off the back of the house is space you paid for and do not occupy. Enclosing it changes that for a fraction of what an addition costs.
The trade-off is that a screen enclosure is a large, light structure in a hurricane zone, so the engineering is not optional and neither is the permit. We size, permit and build for that, and we will tell you when a smaller structure would serve you better than the one you asked for.
What Pembroke Pines Customers Say
They re-screened the pool cage instead of selling me the rebuild I called about. Checked the frame and anchors first, showed me what was fine. Two days, done, half what I expected.
New screen room off the back. Permit, engineering, inspection all handled without me chasing anything. The doors still close properly a year on, which was not true of the last one we had.
Insulated cover plus screen walls over the patio. You can sit out there in August now. Quote was what we paid and the crew cleaned up every day.
HOA wanted stamped drawings before approving anything. They produced them without fuss and matched the community spec. Straightforward the whole way through.

About Pembroke Pines Elite Patio Covers in Pembroke Pines, FL
Pembroke Pines Elite Patio Covers has spent over 15 years building screen enclosures and patio structures across Broward County. We started re-screening pool cages out of one truck and grew the way this work should grow — one job at a time, with the same crew showing up each morning. Today we build screen rooms, pool cages, sunrooms, insulated covers, pergolas and carports for homes, and screen and shade structures for restaurants, apartment communities and schools.
Building in South Florida is its own discipline. Wind load governs everything, salt air finds any coating that was not made for it, and the rainy season tests every drainage detail you did not think about. We design around that: footings and tie-downs sized for the actual span, powder-coated extruded aluminum rather than painted steel, and screen retention that survives being pushed on.
We also tell people when not to hire us. If your existing frame is sound, re-screening costs a fraction of a rebuild and we will quote that instead. If you want the space usable with the air conditioning on, a screen room is the wrong product and you want a sunroom. We would rather quote the right thing and keep the customer.
How It Works
- 1
Free design consult
We measure the slab, check the host wall and roof framing for a real attachment point, and talk through how you actually want to use the space. No charge, no pressure.
- 2
Engineering and permit
We size framing, footings and tie-downs for the span and the wind load, and pull the Pembroke Pines permit. Where the county wants stamped engineering, we provide it.
- 3
Build
Footings and anchors first, then framing, roof and screen. Most residential enclosures go up in three to five days once concrete has cured.
- 4
Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished structure with you, check every door and latch, hand over the manufacturer finish warranty and back the workmanship in writing.
Commercial Screen & Shade Work Across Broward County
Commercial work here is mostly four things: restaurant and bar patios that need screening without losing the view, apartment and HOA pool cages, school and daycare play shade, and covered walkways between buildings. All four are permitted, engineered work, and all four fail in the same place — the anchors, not the screen.
We build on engineered footings with documented tie-downs, and we sequence the work so a business or a community can keep using the space while it goes up. If your property manager or insurer wants stamped drawings, we provide them rather than sending you to find an engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a screen enclosure in Pembroke Pines?
Yes. A screen enclosure is a structure in a hurricane zone, so it is permitted and inspected, and most need engineering showing the framing and anchors meet the wind load for this area. We pull the permit as part of the job rather than leaving it with you.
What does a screen enclosure cost in Pembroke Pines?
It depends on size, height, roof style and screen type, so we quote after measuring rather than guessing over the phone. A simple screen room over an existing slab sits at the low end; a two-storey pool cage with a mansard roof sits well above it. The consult and the written quote are free.
What screen should I use?
Standard 18x14 mesh is the default and lets the most air through. No-see-um mesh is tighter, which you want if the midges bother you, at the cost of some airflow. Pet-resistant mesh goes on the lower panels where a dog pushes against it. Most jobs mix them by panel rather than using one everywhere.
Can you re-screen my existing enclosure instead of rebuilding it?
Usually, and it is far cheaper. What decides it is the frame. If the aluminum is sound and the anchors are intact, re-screening is a day or two of work. If the frame is corroded at the base or the anchors have pulled, new screen on a failing frame is money in the wrong order and we will say so.
How does a screen enclosure hold up in a hurricane?
Screen is designed to fail before the frame does, which is deliberate — the mesh releases and the structure stays anchored. That is why engineering and anchoring matter more than the screen itself. Enclosures that come apart in a storm are almost always kit structures on inadequate footings.
Screen room or sunroom?
A screen room is open to the air, cheaper, and keeps the space feeling like outside. A sunroom is glazed and can be conditioned, so it works as real living space year-round and costs considerably more. If you want it usable in August with the air on, that is a sunroom.
