Three Season · Screen & Sun Rooms
Your porch is sitting empty.
It doesn't have to.
A Florida porch is unusable from May to October without the right enclosure. Heat, humidity, no-see-ums, and afternoon downpours make it furniture storage. We convert porches and lanais into year-round livable rooms — screened, glazed, or fully conditioned. Same engineering. Same crew. Built for the Panhandle.
The honest problem
A Florida porch without a screen room is a porch you don't use.
The Panhandle gets 55 to 65 inches of rain a year — nearly double the national average. Summer highs run 87 to 90°F with humidity that makes every minute outside feel earned. Mosquitoes and no-see-ums own the evenings from spring through fall.
The porch you envisioned when you bought the house — morning coffee, evening dinners, a place to actually be outside — is sitting unused because Florida won't cooperate. A screen room changes that. A sun room changes it permanently.
Northwest Florida's Pool Enclosure & Screen Room Builder. 30 Years on This Coast.
Every structure we build in The Emerald Coast is custom-engineered to your property's wind zone — stamped, permitted, and installed by the same crew who designed it.
Two ways to reclaim your porch
Screen room or sun room — one decision changes everything.
Both convert unused outdoor space into rooms you actually live in. The difference is how much year-round control you want over temperature, weather, and light.
THREE SEASON
Screen Room
A screened aluminum enclosure that keeps insects out, lets air and light in, and makes your porch or lanai usable across three comfortable seasons. The most popular choice on the Panhandle — and the most affordable entry into year-round outdoor living.
Keeps bugs, debris, and rain out
Full airflow and natural light
Multiple screen types including no-see-um mesh
Engineered to Florida wind code
YEAR-ROUND
Sun Room
A fully enclosed aluminum-and-glass room addition that can be heated, cooled, and used every day of the year. Insulated roof, impact-rated glazing options, and a structure built to the same engineering standard as every ABS build — site-stamped, permitted, and installed by one crew.
Fully conditioned — heat and cool year-round
Insulated roof and impact-rated glass options
Increases usable square footage of your home
Wind-rated glazing for coastal properties
ROOF STYLES
Six profiles. One engineering standard.
Every style is custom-engineered to your home and permitted before construction begins. Screen and insulated versions available across all profiles.
SCREEN · MOST POPULAR
Mansard
Low-slope profile that follows your roofline. Most common Panhandle choice — any home style.
Screen · Open Feel
Peak
Higher-pitch peaked profile for interior height and airflow — ideal where volume matters most.
Screen · Clean Lines
Shed
Single-slope lean-to that drains cleanly into the rear wall. Ideal for tight roofline constraints.
Screen · Low Profile
Under Existing Roof
Screens under an existing covered patio or lanai — full insect and debris protection below.
Insulated · Sun Room
Insulated Gable
Peaked insulated-panel roof for year-round sun rooms — thermal, wind-rated, architecturally present.
Insulated · Sun Room
Insulated Shed
Single-slope insulated-panel for sun rooms needing a lower profile. Same thermal and wind rating.

Engineering specs
Built for Florida. Not just rated for it,
Wind-Zone Stamped
Every plan stamped to your property's exact Panhandle wind zone and fully permitted before we start.
Impact Glass Options
Wind-rated glazing available for sun rooms — engineered for coastal high-velocity zones throughout.
3D Preview Included
We model your home and your room addition in 3D before permits or construction ever begin.
Coastal-Grade Hardware
Stainless and marine-rated fasteners throughout — built to resist salt air and coastal humidity.
WhY ABS
Same crew who designs it is the crew who builds it.
Aluminum Building Systems has been converting porches and lanais on the Panhandle since 1999. Every screen room and sun room is designed to your specific home, engineered to your county's wind code, and built by the same team that drew the plans.
No subcontractors. No handoffs. No contractor who disappears after the permit is pulled. We model your project in 3D before construction begins — so you see exactly what you're getting before we cut a single piece of metal.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. No pressure.
Free On-Site Estimate
We measure your porch or lanai — screened, insulated, or fully glazed. No obligation, 30–45 min.
Custom 3d Design
We model your home and room in 3D. You review, revise, and approve before we touch the site.
Built, Once, Right
Same crew, start to finish — engineering stamped, permits pulled, warranty handed off in person.

What's at risk
A porch you can't use costs you every single day.
The Panhandle's climate doesn't give you a grace period. Humidity, salt air, and 70 mph storm gusts test every fastener and every weld within the first season. Screen rooms built with catalog-grade aluminum and unprotected hardware don't last — they sag, they rust, and they fail at the worst possible time.
We've rebuilt screen rooms installed without permits, without stamped engineering, by crews who moved on to the next job. Your porch should be the room you use the most. When it's built right, it is.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Real answers, no run-around.
What's the difference between a screen room and a sun room?
A screen room uses aluminum framing and screen panels to keep insects and debris out while allowing full airflow — ideal for three-season use on the Panhandle. A sun room uses an insulated roof and glazed wall panels that can be fully heated and cooled, giving you a year-round conditioned living space. Both are site-engineered and permitted.
Can I convert my existing covered patio into a screen room?
Yes — the Screen Under profile is designed exactly for this. We screen in the perimeter beneath your existing covered patio or lanai roof, keeping the structure you already have while adding full bug and debris protection. We assess the existing structure during the on-site estimate to confirm it's suitable.
Do screen and sun rooms require permits in Florida?
Yes. Any enclosed structure addition to a Florida home requires a permit and site-specific engineering stamped to your county's wind code. We handle both — every ABS screen room and sun room is engineered, permitted, and inspected before the job is closed out.
What screen types do you offer?
We offer standard fiberglass screen, no-see-um mesh (tighter weave that blocks the small insects standard screen misses), and solar screen that reduces heat and UV while maintaining visibility. We recommend screen type during the estimate based on your location, exposure, and primary use.
How long does a screen room or sun room take to build?
Screen rooms typically take 3–6 weeks from design approval to completion. Sun rooms with glazing and insulated roofs typically run 6–10 weeks depending on permit timing and material configuration. We confirm a realistic schedule during the estimate — before you commit to anything.
