Screen Enclosures Built for Miami Beach's Salt Air and Sun
Neighborhoods we serve: South Beach · Mid-Beach · North Beach · Sunset Islands · Venetian Islands · Star Island
From South Beach high-rises to the waterfront homes of Sunset Islands and the Venetian Islands, Miami Beach living means constant exposure to salt spray off the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay. Standard screen frames pit and corrode fast this close to the water. We build every enclosure from powder-coated, marine-grade aluminum engineered to shrug off salt air, so your screened lanai or terrace stays rust-free and looking sharp for years, not just one season.
Miami Beach sits inside Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind code in the country. Every permanent screen enclosure we install carries Miami-Dade NOA product approval and sealed engineering built to withstand 175 mph winds, non-negotiable this close to the ocean. Our in-house crew pulls permits through Miami-Dade RER or the City of Miami Beach building department and manages inspections start to finish, so you never have to decode code requirements yourself.
A screened enclosure means you can finally enjoy your patio without swatting at mosquitoes and no-see-ums that drift in off the water at dusk. We enclose existing patios, lanais, porches, and under-truss areas with fine-mesh screening that blocks bugs, UV rays, and windblown debris while letting the ocean breeze through. Want more than a screen room? We frame it as a true Florida room, add a screen door, privacy panels, or pet-safe mesh, and handle any historic-district design review your Miami Beach property requires.
Most Miami Beach screen enclosures fall within $3,700–$5,100, with larger patio and lanai projects priced at $22/sq ft. Every quote starts with a free 3D design consultation and covers permitting, engineering, and installation.
Permits & engineering
Miami Beach sits inside Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a permanent screen enclosure requires a building permit, sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval rated to 175 mph winds. AB Aluminum & Screens pulls the permit through Miami-Dade RER or the City of Miami Beach building department and manages every inspection for you.
Licensed and insured with 15+ years in business and 500+ completed projects across South Florida, our in-house crew has enclosed patios and lanais throughout Miami Beach, from Art Deco bungalows in South Beach to waterfront homes on Sunset Islands and Venetian Islands, every one engineered and permitted for HVHZ conditions.
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 Beach?
Yes. Miami Beach falls under Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so any permanent screen enclosure requires a building permit, sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA product approval rated to 175 mph winds. We handle the permitting through Miami-Dade RER or the City of Miami Beach building department as part of every project.
What screen mesh options are available?
We offer standard fiberglass insect screen for everyday bug protection, solar/sun-block mesh that cuts glare and heat near the water, no-see-um mesh for Miami Beach's fine biting insects, and pet-resistant mesh for homes with dogs or cats. We'll help you choose the right combination during your free 3D design consultation.
Can you enclose my existing covered patio or lanai in Miami Beach?
Yes. Most projects start with an existing patio, lanai, or under-truss area, common on Miami Beach homes from Mid-Beach to Sunset Islands, that we frame with marine-grade aluminum and screen. We work around your current slab and roofline, so there's no need to rebuild, and if your home is in a historic district we handle any required design review as part of permitting.
Can a screen enclosure be upgraded to a Florida room later?
Yes. Many Miami Beach homeowners start with a screened patio and convert it into a fully enclosed, air-conditioned Florida room down the road. Because we engineer the aluminum frame to HVHZ standards from day one, it's built to support that upgrade, and glass or acrylic panels can typically be added without replacing the structure.
