Apex Point St Cloud Sunrooms is a sunroom contractor serving Orlando, FL, building sunroom additions, screen rooms, and patio enclosures for CBS homes throughout Orange County - from historic bungalows in College Park to newer construction in Lake Nona - with permits handled through the City of Orlando and all work built to Florida wind and insulation standards.
Orlando homes built between the 1970s and 1990s often have floor plans that feel tight by today's standards, and a sunroom addition is one of the most cost-effective ways to add genuine square footage without moving. Our sunroom additions service covers the full project from slab assessment through final Orange County inspection, with hurricane-rated framing and glazing required under Florida code for any new room attached to your home.
Orlando summers run hot and humid from May through October, and a sunroom that is not properly insulated and climate-controlled will sit empty for half the year. A four-season room built with low-emissivity glass and tied into your home's air conditioning gives you a bright, comfortable space on a 93-degree afternoon without stepping outside - the kind of room you actually use daily.
For Orlando homeowners who want bug protection and shade without the cost of a full sunroom, a screen room over an existing back-patio slab is the most direct answer. It restores usable evening hours to your outdoor space and is a particularly common project in Orlando neighborhoods that have aging or deteriorated original pool cages and lanai enclosures.
Orlando gets over 50 inches of rain per year, most of it arriving fast during afternoon thunderstorms. An open concrete patio absorbs all of that - furniture fades, cushions mildew, and the space becomes impractical for most of the year. A patio enclosure puts a roof and walls around the existing slab, turning an underused outdoor area into a protected room without starting from scratch.
Orlando's neighborhoods span a wide range of housing types - from 1930s bungalows in Thornton Park and College Park to newer construction in the eastern suburbs. A custom sunroom design accounts for the specific roofline, wall construction, and lot layout of your home rather than forcing a standard template onto a house it does not fit. Older Orlando homes in particular benefit from a design that respects the original architecture.
Many Orlando homes have existing screen enclosures or pool cages that were built in the 1980s or 1990s and are showing their age - torn screens, rusted frames, and structures that do not meet current wind standards. Converting that existing structure into a properly enclosed sunroom upgrades what you already have rather than tearing everything out and starting over, and it tends to be more cost-effective than a ground-up addition.
Orlando's housing stock is unusually varied for a city its size. Neighborhoods like College Park and Thornton Park have homes from the 1920s and 1930s with original wood trim, older rooflines, and wall constructions that require careful planning before any addition is attached. A few miles east, subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s have concrete block homes with stucco exteriors and existing pool cages that have lived through 20 to 30 Florida summers. Then there is newer construction in Lake Nona and the southeastern suburbs that is still settling. A contractor who works across all of these property types understands that a one-size approach does not work in this city - the right design for a 1940s Delaney Park bungalow is not the same as the right design for a 2005 CBS home in Hunters Creek.
The climate presses hard on everything outdoors here. Orlando averages over 50 inches of rain annually, mostly falling as intense afternoon thunderstorms from June through September. UV exposure is constant and intense year-round, breaking down screens, painted aluminum, and caulking faster than in northern climates. Florida's building code sets specific wind resistance requirements for any structure attached to a home, and those requirements apply equally in Orlando as anywhere else in the state. A properly permitted sunroom addition built to those standards will survive the storm seasons that periodically test Central Florida homes - an unpermitted or under-built structure will not.
Our crew works throughout Orlando regularly, and for projects within the city limits we pull permits through the City of Orlando Permitting Services division. Orlando is one of the few cities in Central Florida with its own building department rather than relying on the county, and we are familiar with what their reviewers look for on sunroom and enclosure drawings, which helps avoid back-and-forth that stretches the timeline.
The city stretches across a large area with genuinely different neighborhood characters. The streets near Lake Eola Park in downtown, the bungalow-lined blocks of College Park, and the newer subdivisions near the University of Central Florida all present different construction types and lot sizes. We encounter homes from every era of Orlando's growth and know how to design additions that work with each type of structure rather than forcing a standard template onto a house it does not fit.
Orlando borders several other communities we serve regularly. Homeowners just outside the city in Ocoee to the west and in Meadow Woods to the south are also in our service area. If your address is on the edge of Orlando's city limits, call us - we cover the surrounding communities as well.
Call us or submit through our contact page and we will schedule a site visit, typically within 1 business day of your inquiry. We look at the existing structure, measure the space, and assess what the project will actually require before putting any numbers on paper.
After the site visit you receive a detailed written estimate covering materials, labor, and the permit fee. This is where we address cost questions and discuss options - glass type, frame material, whether the room will be climate-controlled - so you have a clear picture before signing anything.
We submit the permit application to the City of Orlando Permitting Services on your behalf and keep you updated on status. Plan for four to eight weeks for review - we factor this into the project schedule from the start so you are not surprised by the wait.
Once the permit is approved, construction begins. Our crew handles all required city inspections throughout the build. After the final inspection passes, we do a walkthrough with you, address anything you want adjusted, and clean up the work site before leaving.

(689) 214-9067Orlando is the fourth-largest city in Florida, with a population of about 320,000 residents and a housing mix that ranges from historic bungalows to brand-new construction. The city has grown fast over the past two decades, and that growth shows in the variety of neighborhoods - established areas like College Park and Thornton Park with pre-war homes, mid-century CBS construction throughout the central city, and newer subdivisions in the southeast and southwest built from the 1990s onward. Most of the homes we work on in Orlando are concrete block structures with stucco exteriors, single-family detached on small to medium lots - a housing type that translates directly into demand for back-yard sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms.
The city is anchored by recognizable landmarks - the walking path around Lake Eola in downtown, the sprawling campus of the University of Central Florida on the east side, and the tourism corridor stretching southwest toward Walt Disney World. We work throughout all of these areas and know the housing stock each neighborhood typically has. Nearby communities including Ocoee to the west and Hunters Creek to the south are also part of our regular service area.
