Florida living is all about enjoying the outdoors—without sacrificing comfort. Screen rooms are one of the most popular home upgrades in the Sunshine State because they create a bug-free, breezy space perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or extending your living area.
Before installing a screen room, there are several important factors every Florida homeowner should understand to ensure long-term performance, comfort, and value.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help homeowners design screen rooms that are built specifically for Florida’s climate and lifestyle.
