South Palm Beach is one of the smallest towns in the county: a short stretch of A1A, about 1,500 residents and a row of condo buildings with the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Blink on the drive down toward Lantana's beach and you might miss it.

Many of those buildings are decades old, and a lot of units still have the screened or acrylic-paneled Florida rooms they started with. We've built glass patio enclosures in South Palm Beach and across the county for close to four decades. Here's who we are.

Acrylic Window Replacement for South Palm Beach Condos

Acrylic panels were a cheap way to close in a balcony or Florida room. After years of ocean sun, they're yellow, scratched and bowed, and the view you paid for is a blur.

Acrylic window replacement means pulling those panels and setting real glass in their place. We check whether the existing frame can carry glass first, and tell you plainly if it can't.

An Enclosed Patio for a Ground-Floor Unit

Ground-floor units here often open onto a small patio or garden behind a hedge. It's private, but it's also wet, sandy and buggy most of the year.

Closing it in gives you an enclosed patio that works as an extra room. If you've been searching patio enclosures near me for a ground-floor condo, take a look at the enclosures we build.

Getting a South Palm Beach Condo Board to Say Yes

In a town made almost entirely of condo buildings, the association has the final word. Boards want every unit to look the same from outside, so frame color, glass tint and panel layout are usually set by the building.

We provide the measurements and product details your board needs and design within its rules. We don't order glass until you have approval in hand.

Ocean Wind and Glass on Upper Floors

Upper-floor balconies take wind-driven rain straight off the ocean. Old acrylic panels flex and leak. Glass doesn't, and it gives you a clear view instead of a hazy one.

If your unit's windows are also overdue, we're a certified PGT dealer with PGT Gold Status and install hurricane-rated windows with the same crews.

Salt Air Between the Ocean and the Intracoastal

With water on both sides of every building, salt is everywhere in this town. It works on frames, hinges and tracks all year.

We choose finishes and hardware for that exposure and show you the quick freshwater rinse that keeps glass patio enclosures in South Palm Beach working smoothly.

Town of South Palm Beach Permits for Glass Enclosures

The Town of South Palm Beach issues building permits for enclosure work, and your condo association has to sign off as well. We help with both.

Any contractor you hire should be able to show a state license number and proof of insurance right away. Ask us, and we'll show you ours.

Keeping Your Florida Room Comfortable Year-Round

A Florida room with cloudy panels traps heat and glare without giving you much of a view. Clear glass, planned for the direction the room faces, makes it a space you actually want to sit in.

If you want to cool the room, tell us at the estimate. A conditioned room counts as living space under the Florida Building Code, which changes the glass and the permit.

Replacing the Slider to Your South Palm Beach Florida Room

The slider between your living room and the Florida room has probably been there as long as the acrylic. If it drags, leaks or won't lock, replace it while the enclosure work is happening.

South Palm Beach Florida Room Questions

For more general answers, see our FAQ page.

Can you replace the acrylic panels on my South Palm Beach Florida room with glass?

Often, yes. It depends on whether the existing frame can carry glass. We check at the estimate and tell you what’s possible.

Will my condo board allow a glass enclosure?

Most boards allow it within set rules on color, tint and layout. We supply the details your board needs and wait for approval before ordering.

Do I need a permit for a glass patio enclosure in South Palm Beach?

Yes. The Town of South Palm Beach issues the building permit, and your association has to approve the work too.

Why is glass better than acrylic?

Glass doesn’t yellow or haze in the sun, it resists scratching and it doesn’t flex in the wind. It stays clear for years.

Can I air-condition my Florida room?

Yes. A cooled room is treated as living space under the building code, so let us know up front and we’ll plan the glass and permit for it.

Can you replace the slider to my Florida room too?

Yes. Doors and windows can be part of the same project, installed by the same crew.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every installer is a direct employee, hired for skill and trained by us.
