Patio Screens in Homestead, Miami-Dade — AB Aluminum & Screens

Do I need a permit to enclose my patio with screen in Homestead, FL?

Yes. Miami-Dade is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so any permanent aluminum screen enclosure in Homestead requires a building permit through the City of Homestead Building Department, sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval rated to 175 mph winds. AB Aluminum & Screens handles the entire permitting process for you.

  • from $22/sq ft installed
  • 175 mph HVHZ wind-rated
  • 2–4 wks typical build

Screen Enclosures Built for Homestead's Heat and Bugs

Neighborhoods we serve: Keys Gate · Bonterra · The Redland · Portofino Shores · Silver Palm

Homestead sits at the edge of the Redland's farmland and canal systems, where standing water and dense vegetation keep mosquito and no-see-um populations high nearly year-round. Add in some of the most intense, unfiltered sun in Miami-Dade County, and an open patio in neighborhoods like Keys Gate or Bonterra becomes unusable for much of the afternoon. A properly engineered screen enclosure blocks insects and cuts glare and UV without sacrificing the airflow that keeps South Dade patios livable.

We enclose existing patios, lanais, porches and under-truss areas with powder-coated aluminum framing and your choice of screen mesh — standard insect screen, solar/pet-resistant weaves, or clear vinyl for cooler months. A screened lanai here can be built out as a full screen room with a paver or tiled floor, or designed with a future path to an air-conditioned Florida room. Add a screen door, a pet-containment panel, or privacy mesh along a fence line — all engineered to the same 175 mph HVHZ standard.

Any permanent screen enclosure in Homestead needs a building permit through the City of Homestead Building Department, sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval rated for 175 mph winds — the same HVHZ standard that applies from Cutler Bay to Florida City. AB Aluminum & Screens has handled that process for 15+ years and 500+ South Florida projects: our in-house crew pulls permits, submits the engineering package, and builds with marine-grade powder-coated aluminum built to outlast Homestead's sun and storms. Free 3D design and financing are available before you commit.

Most Homestead screen enclosures fall within $3,700–$5,100, depending on size, mesh type and whether you add a screen room floor; framing typically runs $22/sq ft.

Permits & engineering

A screen enclosure in Homestead is a permitted structure, not a DIY kit: it requires a permit through the City of Homestead Building Department, sealed engineering calculations, and products carrying Miami-Dade NOA approval for 175 mph HVHZ winds. AB Aluminum & Screens prepares and files that entire package for you.

Licensed and insured with 15+ years and 500+ enclosures built across South Florida, including projects throughout Miami-Dade's HVHZ, backed by an in-house crew and free 3D design.

Screen Room Styles We Build

We design each screen room to your home and how you want to use the space:

  • Lanai — roofed, partially enclosed outdoor room; the most common South Florida configuration.
  • Wrap-around — runs along multiple sides of the home for larger covered footprints.
  • Attached porch enclosure — encloses an existing porch with screen panels and a structural aluminum frame.
  • Pool-side screen room — connects your living space to the pool deck while keeping insects out.

Screen Mesh Options

The right mesh depends on where you live and how you use the space:

  • Standard 18×14 fiberglass — the all-purpose choice for most South Florida patios.
  • No-see-um mesh — tighter weave for canal-front and coastal areas with sandflies.
  • Pet-resistant mesh — stands up to claws and lean-against pressure.
  • Privacy / solar mesh — reduces visibility and heat on exposed patios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What permits do I need to screen in a patio in Homestead?

Because Homestead falls under Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, a permanent screen enclosure needs a building permit from the City of Homestead Building Department, engineering sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer, and aluminum framing and screen products with current Miami-Dade NOA approval rated for 175 mph winds. We prepare and submit the full package.

What screen mesh options are available for a Homestead enclosure?

Standard fiberglass insect screen keeps out mosquitoes and no-see-ums common near the Redland's canals and farmland. We also install solar screen for extra UV and glare control, heavier pet-resistant mesh, and clear vinyl panels that can be zipped in during cooler months for a more enclosed, wind-blocked space.

Are these enclosures rated for hurricanes?

Yes. Every enclosure we build in Homestead is engineered and permitted to Miami-Dade's HVHZ standard, rated for 175 mph winds — the same code that applies across the county from Florida City to Aventura. Marine-grade powder-coated aluminum framing resists corrosion, sun and storm exposure long after installation.

Can I enclose my existing covered patio or lanai, and later convert it to a Florida room?

Yes. Most Homestead projects start by screening in an existing covered patio, lanai or under-truss area for bug-free outdoor living. We can also design the aluminum structure with a future upgrade path in mind, so it can later be enclosed with glass or vinyl panels and converted into an air-conditioned Florida room.
