Hollywood Elite Patio Covers provides professional screened porches in Hollywood, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Broward–Miami-Dade coastal corridor. A screened porch in Hollywood is a permitted structure, not a weekend project. The moment aluminum touches the house, the city wants drawings prepared by a Florida registered architect or engineer, and that seal is the real starting cost.
That drawing does more work than people expect. Chapter 20 treats your porch as a Risk Category I structure, which in Broward means an ultimate design wind speed of 156 mph, against the 170 mph the house behind it was designed to. Lower number, stricter detailing, because the enclosure is supposed to shed screen and keep standing.
Then there is the load nobody sees coming. Every primary member gets checked for 300 pounds pressed straight down along any single foot of its length, with no wind acting at the same time. That is the code picturing a body on your roof beam. It quietly eliminates a lot of thin imported framing.
The attachment detail deserves an argument, and rarely gets one. Housing stock here went up largely between 1955 and 1970, and those rear rooflines sit shallow with next to nothing structural at the eave. Fascia board holds nothing. So we open the soffit, find the tie beam, and design to what is actually up there.
Mesh is the cheap part and the part you will replace twice in twenty years. Standard 18x14 fiberglass belongs high on the walls where it moves the most air. Tighter no-see-um weave goes on whichever side faces the Intracoastal, because the midges lifting off that water at dusk walk straight through anything looser.
Plan the paperwork honestly into your timeline. Zoning signs off first, then two sealed sets go in, each carrying a Registered Land Surveyor's Certificate, and review takes as long as the queue takes. Anyone promising a permit inside a week has not pulled one here recently, and the schedule they are selling you is fiction.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 0.040-inch minimum extrusion wall thickness, HVHZ-listed Florida Product Approval numbers, Table 2002.4 design pressure schedules, 300-pound concentrated member load checks, Risk Category I ultimate wind speeds, self-tapping screw boss connections — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hollywood and nearby communities including Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Pembroke Park, West Park.

Materials, equipment and how we do screened porches
The difference between screened porches that lasts and screened porches that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 0.040-inch minimum extrusion wall thickness, HVHZ-listed Florida Product Approval numbers, Table 2002.4 design pressure schedules, 300-pound concentrated member load checks, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Hollywood job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of patio cover work in the Broward–Miami-Dade coastal corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
