Extend Your Living Space Into the Florida Climate — Screened or Glass-Enclosed
A Florida room addition transforms the way you experience your Jacksonville home. Whether you want a screened-in space for enjoying cool evenings bug-free, or a fully glass-enclosed room for year-round use, JK Prestige Constructor Corp designs and builds Florida rooms that integrate structurally and aesthetically with your existing home. We have built Florida room additions throughout Duval, St. Johns, and Clay counties and understand the permitting and structural requirements specific to this type of addition in Northeast Florida.
"When a Jacksonville family trusts us with their home, we treat it exactly as we would our own. 500+ projects later, that standard has never changed." — J. Karras, Founder & CEO, JK Prestige Constructor Corp
A screened-in room attached to the back of your home provides shade, ventilation, and bug protection — perfect for Jacksonville's warm months. We build screened rooms with aluminum framing, insect screening, and proper roofing to withstand Florida wind events.
A glass-enclosed Florida room with insulated glass panels, impact-rated glazing, and HVAC connection creates a year-round living space that can function as a breakfast room, sitting room, or home office with natural light on all sides.
A covered lanai extends from your home's rear with a solid roof and open or screened sides. Often connected to pool decks and outdoor kitchens, lanais are among the most popular outdoor living additions for Jacksonville homeowners.
We install proper insulated roof systems on Florida room additions to manage heat gain in Jacksonville's climate. Proper insulation and ventilation prevent the room from becoming unusable in summer months — a common problem with poorly built screened rooms.
Florida rooms are one of the most uniquely regional home improvement projects available to Jacksonville homeowners. No other addition type captures the specific pleasures and challenges of living in Northeast Florida — the ability to enjoy outdoor air without insects, the desire for shade during humid summer afternoons, and the year-round mild weather that makes an indoor-outdoor transition genuinely livable. JK Prestige has built Florida rooms in established Jacksonville neighborhoods for years and brings both technical skill and genuine local knowledge to every project.
Structurally, a Florida room addition must tie into your existing home's roof and wall systems in a way that is both watertight and meets Florida Building Code wind load requirements. The connection between the addition's roof and the existing structure is the most critical detail — poorly executed connections are the leading cause of water intrusion in Florida room additions. We use proper flashing, sealing, and structural connections on every project.
Screened rooms require framing that can handle Florida's wind pressure. Standard aluminum screen room systems sold as kits are often undersized for Jacksonville's wind zone requirements. We build Florida rooms with proper structural calculations, engineered framing where required, and screen systems rated for the local wind environment. Impact-rated screening is available for maximum protection in coastal and near-coastal locations.
Glass-enclosed sunrooms require more detailed permitting than screened rooms. Impact-rated or protected glazing is required in most Duval County wind zones. HVAC must be extended to condition the space or a dedicated mini-split system installed. Proper insulation of the roof and knee walls prevents excessive heat gain during Jacksonville's summer months.
Florida room additions range from approximately $25,000 for a basic screened room to $65,000 or more for a fully conditioned glass-enclosed sunroom with premium materials. Financing is available through our third-party lending partners.
We assess your home's rear structure, existing slab or foundation, and lot configuration to determine the best Florida room configuration for your property and budget.
We deliver a detailed written estimate within 48 hours covering structural framing, roofing, screening or glazing, and any HVAC or electrical work. Material options are reviewed with you before the estimate is finalized.
All structural additions require building permits. We submit applications to the City of Jacksonville or applicable county authority and manage all inspection scheduling.
Foundation preparation, framing, roofing, and utility connections are completed by our crew. We maintain a weather-tight home throughout the construction process.
We install the screen system or impact-rated glass panels, apply any required exterior finishes, and complete interior finishing to make the room move-in ready.
Florida room additions in Jacksonville range from approximately $25,000 for a basic screened room to $65,000 or more for a fully glass-enclosed, conditioned sunroom. The biggest cost drivers are size, whether the room is screened or fully glazed, roofing type, and HVAC requirements.
Yes. All structural additions, including screened rooms attached to the home, require building permits in Jacksonville. JK Prestige handles all permit applications and inspections.
Only if it is built without proper insulated glazing, roof insulation, and climate control. We design glass-enclosed sunrooms with insulated glass panels, proper roof insulation, and HVAC conditioning so the room is comfortable year-round.
In many cases yes, depending on the existing structure's condition and load capacity. We assess existing structures and determine whether they can be upgraded or whether a full rebuild is more practical.
Most Florida room additions take 2 to 4 months from permit approval depending on size and complexity. Screened rooms generally move faster than fully enclosed glass rooms.
