Build Your Dream Florida Room with Lafferty Aluminum & Screening

Designing the Perfect Florida Room Starts with the Right Plan

Dreaming of a space that blends indoor comfort with Florida’s outdoor beauty? A custom Florida room is one of the most effective ways to expand your living space while enjoying fresh air, natural light, and scenic views—without bugs or harsh weather.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help Florida homeowners design and build Florida rooms that fit their lifestyle, budget, and home architecture.

What Is a Florida Room?

A Florida room is a versatile living space typically enclosed with aluminum framing and screening or windows, designed to let homeowners enjoy outdoor views while staying protected from insects and the elements.

Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Florida Room in Florida

1. Define Your Vision

Before construction begins, decide how you plan to use your Florida room—as a relaxing retreat, entertaining space, dining area, or multi-purpose room. Your vision will guide layout, design, and materials.

2. Set a Realistic Budget

Establishing a budget early helps determine materials, enclosure type, and customization options. Our team works closely with homeowners to design custom Florida rooms that maximize value without sacrificing quality.

3. Choose the Best Location

Sun exposure, backyard views, and accessibility all matter. Whether you want morning light or sunset views, selecting the right placement enhances both comfort and usability.

4. Work with Experienced Florida Room Designers

Partnering with professionals ensures your Florida room addition blends seamlessly with your home. Our designers consider rooflines, architectural style, and daily use to create a cohesive look.

5. Select High-Quality Materials

We use premium aluminum framing and durable screening materials known for corrosion resistance, strength, and low maintenance—ideal for Florida’s climate.

6. Secure Permits & Meet Building Codes

Florida building regulations vary by location. Our team handles permitting and ensures your Florida room meets all local codes and structural requirements.

7. Professional Construction & Installation

Our experienced installers focus on precision, safety, and craftsmanship throughout the entire build—from framing to finishing details.

8. Customize & Personalize Your Space

Choose from screen options, doors, finishes, and furnishings to make your Florida room enclosure uniquely yours. We help tailor every detail to match your lifestyle.

9. Enjoy Year-Round Outdoor Living

Once complete, your Florida room becomes a relaxing, functional extension of your home—perfect for morning coffee, family gatherings, or quiet evenings.
