How much does a patio screen enclosure cost in Miami?
Miami screen enclosure pricing runs $22/sq ft depending on frame height, mesh grade, and HVHZ engineering requirements, with most projects landing in the $3,700–$5,100 range installed. Bayfront homes near Coconut Grove often need heavier marine-grade framing, while inland enclosures may need less reinforcement.

Patio Screen Enclosures Built for Miami's Bay Breezes and HVHZ Code
Neighborhoods we serve: Coconut Grove · Morningside · Coral Gate · The Roads
Coconut Grove and Morningside sit close enough to Biscayne Bay that salt air eats through ordinary hardware within a few seasons — which is why every AB Aluminum screen enclosure uses marine-grade, powder-coated aluminum framing built to shrug off corrosion. Enclose a bayfront lanai or covered patio and you get mosquito- and no-see-um-free evenings, filtered breeze, and UV protection without losing the water view. Screen doors and pet-containment panels keep the space livable and secure year-round.
Head inland to Coral Gate and The Roads, and the challenge shifts from salt to sun — Miami's midday UV and afternoon downpours make an unscreened patio unusable half the year. A custom screen room extends your living space, cuts glare and heat while keeping the breeze, and works with the architectural review some of these established single-family blocks apply to visible additions. Our free 3D design shows the finished look before permitting starts, so there are no surprises at review.
Miami sits inside a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a permanent screen enclosure isn't a DIY kit project — it requires a building permit through the City of Miami, sealed structural engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval on every component, rated to withstand 175 mph winds. AB Aluminum's in-house crew handles that entire process for you, from drawings to inspection, and can convert your enclosure into a full Florida room down the line. Financing options make the upgrade easier to schedule now.
Most Miami patio screen enclosures fall within $3,700–$5,100 installed, with framing and mesh priced at $22/sq ft depending on size, height, and HVHZ engineering needs — confirmed with a free 3D design and estimate.
Permits & engineering
Every Miami installation includes a permit through the City of Miami (or Miami-Dade RER for unincorporated areas), sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval — all handled in-house by AB Aluminum.
Licensed and insured with 500+ screen and aluminum projects completed across Miami-Dade, including bayfront homes near Biscayne Bay and inland neighborhoods throughout the city.



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
Do I need a permit for a patio screen enclosure in Miami?
Yes. Miami-Dade is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so any permanent aluminum screen enclosure requires a building permit, sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval before installation. AB Aluminum handles the entire permitting process through the City of Miami or Miami-Dade RER, so you never have to navigate it yourself.
What wind rating do Miami screen enclosures need to meet?
Every enclosure we build is engineered to withstand 175 mph winds, the HVHZ standard required throughout Miami-Dade County. Frames, fasteners, and screen panels all carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, so your structure meets code whether you're a block from Biscayne Bay or further inland.
Can you enclose an existing covered patio or lanai?
Absolutely — enclosing an existing covered patio, lanai, or under-truss area is one of our most common Miami projects. We frame directly off your existing roofline or slab, add screen panels and a door, and turn dead space into a bug-free room you'll actually use, often in a matter of days.
Can I convert my screen enclosure into a Florida room later?
Yes. Many Miami homeowners start with a screened patio enclosure and later upgrade to a full Florida room with acrylic or glass panels. Because we build to HVHZ structural standards from day one, the aluminum frame is ready to accept that upgrade whenever you're ready, without rebuilding the structure.
