Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 137 homeowners on Google
They arrived promptly at the scheduled time, gave us a competitive quote, and did an amazing job from start to finish on our enclosure.
My experience with Advanced Aluminum was excellent. They were very professional and did a fantastic job. They were the type of contractors that you would expect to see on the “This Old House” TV show if you are old enough to remember that show. The crew that installed my porch cared about doing a great job. I am beyond satisfied with my new porch and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Six steps, start to finish
-
Call us or send a request
Tell us what you have in mind: a new pool enclosure, a patio enclosure, a sunroom, or work on the enclosure you already have. We call you back the same business day and set a time to come out.
-
In-home consultation
We come to your home, measure, and look at your house, your yard and how you use the space. We walk you through styles, screen and roof options, and answer your questions. If your community has an HOA, bring its architectural guidelines and we will design with them in mind.
-
Written price and financing
At your consultation you get a written price for the whole project. If you would like to spread the cost, this is the point to look at 0% financing options through GreenSky. Subject to credit approval.
-
Design and permits
Once you sign your contract, we design your project and take care of the building permit with the city or Brevard County. If you have an HOA, we give you the plans it asks for, and you submit them for its review. The permit usually takes about 30 days, though it depends heavily on which office handles your address. Construction is scheduled in the order contracts are signed, usually about two to three months after signing, and the permit is handled during that wait.
-
Build day
Our own W2 crews build your project, never subcontractors. Three things go into every enclosure: Keymark aluminum, made right here in Florida at Keymark’s plant in Lakeland, by a company that has made aluminum extrusions since 1965; hurricane bracing that we through-bolt; and high-quality Phifer screen, made in Alabama by the world’s largest maker of aluminum and fiberglass insect screening. Most pool enclosures take about 4 to 6 days on site, depending on size. We build as much of the enclosure as we can in our shop, so there is less noise and no aluminum shavings left in your yard, and we clean up the site at the end of every workday. You don’t need to be home while we work.
-
Inspection and final walkthrough
The building department inspects the finished work. Then we walk the project with you, show you how everything works and make sure you are happy with it. Your workmanship warranty (10 years with a screen roof, 3 with an insulated roof) starts from the date the project is completed.
One company from start to finish
The person who measures your yard, the office that handles your permit and the crew that builds your enclosure all work for Advanced Aluminum. Every installer is a W2 employee, never a subcontractor.
That matters when you have a question halfway through the job, and it matters years later. If something needs attention, you call one office, and the people who come out are our own.
Getting ready for your consultation
A little thinking ahead makes the first visit more useful:
- How will you use the space: swimming, dining, a place for the grill, a room for the grandchildren?
- Is there a view you want to keep, or a neighbor you would like more privacy from?
- If you have an HOA, find its architectural guidelines so we can design with them in mind.
- Photos of enclosures or rooms you like, from your neighborhood or online.
Permits, HOAs and inspections
Pool enclosures, patio enclosures and sunrooms need a building permit in Brevard County. We take care of the building permit and the inspections. Depending on your address, the permit comes from your city or from Brevard County.
HOA approval works differently. We design with your community’s guidelines in mind and give you the plans your HOA asks for, but the HOA submission is yours to make, because the HOA’s approval is between you and your community.

Process questions
How long does the whole process take?
Most projects are built about two to three months after you sign your contract. We build in the order contracts are signed, so no one’s project gets bumped for someone else’s. Your permit is handled during that time, so it doesn’t add to the wait. Our goal is to start within about 60 days; in our busiest seasons it can run a little longer. Once we’re on site, most pool enclosures take about 4 to 6 days.
Do you take care of permits?
Yes. We take care of the building permit and the inspections. If you have an HOA, we give you the plans it asks for, and you submit them for its review.
Who will be working at my home?
Our own W2 employees. We never send subcontractors to build or repair your enclosure.
When do I pay?
It depends on the project:
- Pool enclosures, patio enclosures and screen rooms (anything without windows): a 30% deposit when you sign the contract, and the balance when the project is complete.
- Sunrooms: three equal payments: a third when you sign the contract, a third when we measure and order the windows, and the balance when the project is complete.
- Rescreening and repairs: paid in full when the work is done.
