Pompano Beach Patio Covers & Aluminum Patio Roofs: Insulated Covers, Screen Enclosures, Pergolas & Carports
Extruded aluminum built for the salt line — engineered, permitted patio covers and enclosures for homes and businesses across north Broward, from a licensed and insured crew with 15+ years on this coast.

Pompano Beach Elite Patio Covers builds aluminum patio covers, insulated roof structures, screen enclosures, pergolas and carports across Pompano Beach, FL and north Broward County.
Everything we install is extruded aluminum engineered to Florida Building Code wind load rather than assembled from a kit: 6063-T6 sections with screw chases, baked powder-coat finishes, footings sized for the actual span, and documented uplift connections at every post.
We pull the permit, we supply the engineering the county asks for, and we hand over a written workmanship warranty at the walkthrough.
Aluminum is not a preference here, it is the only sensible answer. Wood needs re-coating every two or three years and rots at the connections when you skip a cycle. Steel is strong until the coating fails somewhere nobody can see it.
Aluminum forms its own oxide layer and stops, which is why the structures that survive decades on this coast are aluminum ones. The hardware holding them together is the part that ages, so we specify fasteners by exposure and we say plainly when your location does not need the upgrade.
Our Patio Cover Services in Pompano Beach, FL
Screened Porches & Screen Rooms
Most Pompano Beach houses already have the slab. A rear patio was poured with the original build, it collects heat all afternoon, and nobody uses it.
Patio Enclosures
One permit, two structures. A patio enclosure here is a solid aluminum roof on posts with screen infill between them and a kick plate along the bottom, and Broward reviews it as a single engineered assembly rather than a cover plus a screen room.
Sunrooms & Glazed Enclosures
Will the doors be shut and the air on? That question decides everything.
Retractable & Motorized Screens
Drop them at dusk, roll them away at breakfast. On a Pompano lot with a view of the water, that is the whole appeal — insect control that does not put a permanent grid across the thing you paid for the view of.
Rescreening & Screen Repair
Before anyone quotes new mesh, someone should push a screwdriver into the base rail. That one check decides whether you are buying screen or buying a new enclosure, and it takes about a minute.
Pool Cages & Pool Enclosures
A pool cage in Broward is not only shade and insect control. Once it surrounds the water it is part of the barrier, and the doors and latch heights get read at inspection the same way a pool fence does.
Screen Doors & Hardware
Every part of a screen enclosure sits still except the door. It swings, it takes wind each time it opens, and it carries the only metal on the job that moves.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated cover is a foam core bonded between two aluminum skins, spanning beam to beam with nothing underneath. It is the only cover that stops radiant heat instead of merely blocking the sun, and on this coast it is also the one that fights the wind hardest.
Aluminum Patio Covers
6063-T6. That alloy and temper is why an aluminum cover in Pompano Beach outlasts everything bolted to it.
Alumawood & Composite Covers
People come to this product for one reason: they want stained timber overhead and none of the two-year re-coating that timber demands on a barrier island. Embossed aluminum extrusions in wood tones give them the first without the second.
Lattice Patio Covers
Wind passes straight through a lattice cover, and that single fact is why it costs what it costs. Less uplift means smaller posts, shallower piers and a lighter beam schedule.
Wood Patio Covers
Yes, we build in timber. No, it is rarely the right call three blocks from the Atlantic.
Pergola Installation
The ledger is the job. Everything else on an attached pergola — post spacing, rafter tails, finish — is preference.
Freestanding Pergolas
A freestanding pergola carries its load on its own four posts and touches the house nowhere. Near the ocean that is frequently not a preference but the only sound option, because the part of the building you would otherwise bolt into is the weakest part of it.
Louvered & Adjustable Pergolas
A louvered roof is a bank of rotating aluminum blades: open for filtered light, closed for a surface that sheds rain. It is the most capable product we build and the one we most often talk people out of, depending on how close to the water they live.
Carports
Drive through Pompano's older neighbourhoods and count the carports still standing from the fifties and sixties. Aluminum, flat pan, four posts, no maintenance in decades.
Gazebos & Pavilions
A gazebo or pavilion is a freestanding structure with a genuine pitched roof, hip or gable rather than a flat pan, built as a destination in the yard instead of an extension of the house. Pitch is the whole design question on this coast.
Outdoor Kitchens & Living Spaces
Grade 304 stainless pits within sight of the Atlantic. That single fact rearranges an outdoor kitchen budget in Pompano Beach, because the appliance package in the catalogue photograph was specified for a yard several hundred miles from any salt.
Patio Lighting & Ceiling Fans
An extruded beam has a hollow in it. That is the whole reason to wire a patio cover while it is going up — conduit disappears inside the section and nobody ever sees it.

About Pompano Beach Elite Patio Covers in Pompano Beach, FL
Pompano Beach Elite Patio Covers has spent over 15 years building aluminum patio structures across north Broward. We started re-decking and re-anchoring old covers out of one truck, which is the best possible education in what actually fails on this coast, and we still do that work today. Now we also build insulated covers, screen enclosures, pergolas, carports and commercial shade structures for homes, restaurants, condominium associations and schools.
Pompano sits directly on the Atlantic, so the salt exposure here is at the top of the range for Broward County. That shapes every specification we write. Extruded aluminum rather than thin roll-formed pan, baked powder coat rather than field paint, stainless fasteners inside the salt band, and isolation where aluminum meets a dissimilar metal. Wind load governs the framing, and we engineer to it rather than to a supplier's generic span chart.
We also tell people when not to hire us. If your existing frame is sound, re-decking and re-anchoring costs a fraction of a rebuild and that is what we will quote. If you want the space conditioned in August, an open cover is the wrong product and you want a glazed room. And if you are three miles inland, we will not sell you the stainless upgrade you do not need.
Service Areas
Pompano Beach Elite Patio Covers serves Pompano Beach, FL and surrounding communities including:
How It Works
Free on-site measure
We measure the slab, look for a real attachment point in the roof framing, and note how far you are from the water, because that changes the hardware specification. No charge, no pressure.
Engineering and permit
We size beams, posts and footings for the span and the coastal wind load, then pull the Pompano Beach permit. Where the county wants stamped engineering, we provide it rather than sending you to find an engineer.
Build
Footings and anchors first, then posts, beams and roof pan, then screen or glazing if the job includes it. Most residential covers go up in two to four days once concrete has cured.
Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished structure with you, check the drainage under a hose, hand over the manufacturer finish warranty and back our workmanship in writing.

What Pompano Beach Customers Say
Original 1962 aluminum cover on the back of the house. They re-decked it and replaced every anchor instead of tearing it off, which is what two other companies quoted. Costed a third of a rebuild and it looks right for the house.
We are two blocks off the water and the last cover's screws were rust streaks within four years. This crew specified stainless throughout and explained why. Three years in, no staining anywhere on the powder coat.
Insulated cover with gutters over the back patio. Permit, engineering and inspection handled without me chasing anything, and the drainage was tested with a hose at the walkthrough. Quote matched the invoice.
Carport plus screen walls on the side of the house. They caught a setback problem at the measure that would have sent the permit back, and redrew it before submitting. Straightforward people.
Commercial Aluminum Shade & Cover Work Across North Broward
Commercial work on this coast is mostly four things: restaurant and bar patio covers that have to survive salt spray, condominium walkway canopies and pool deck structures, covered parking and boat storage, and school or daycare play shade. All four are permitted, engineered jobs, and all four fail at the same point — the anchors and the fasteners, not the aluminum.
We build on engineered footings with documented uplift connections, and we specify hardware by the building's actual exposure rather than by a standard package. If your property manager, association or insurer wants stamped drawings and product approval numbers, we provide them. Work is sequenced so a business or a community keeps using the space while the structure goes up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a patio cover in Pompano Beach?
Yes. Any attached or freestanding roof structure is permitted and inspected here, and most need engineering showing the framing, anchors and uplift connections meet the wind load for a coastal Broward site. We pull the permit and handle the inspections as part of the job rather than leaving it with you.
What does an aluminum patio cover cost in Pompano Beach?
It depends on span, panel type, post count and whether you want screen walls later, so we quote after measuring rather than guessing over the phone. A simple flat-pan cover over an existing slab sits at the low end; an insulated cover with gutters and screen walls sits well above it. The measure and the written quote are free.
Why aluminum instead of wood or steel this close to the beach?
Aluminum oxidises to a thin protective skin and then stops corroding. Steel rusts progressively once the coating is breached, and here the coating gets breached. Wood does not corrode but it moves, checks and rots at the connections, and the maintenance cycle in this humidity is every two to three years. Aluminum is the low-drama choice.
Is my 1960s aluminum patio cover worth saving?
Often, yes. The extrusions in older Pompano structures are frequently heavier than what kits ship with today, and the aluminum itself is usually sound. What fails is the pan, the fasteners and the anchors. If the beams and posts check out we re-deck, re-anchor and refinish for a fraction of a rebuild, and we will say so instead of quoting new.
What does salt air actually do to a patio cover?
Very little to the aluminum and a great deal to everything else. Plated screws, plated hinges, steel brackets and unprotected fastener heads corrode first, and dissimilar metals in contact corrode faster than either would alone. Within roughly a mile of the ocean we specify stainless and isolate dissimilar metals; further inland that upgrade is not worth paying for.
How long does the whole process take?
The build is the short part. Plan on a few days on site once footings have cured, with Broward plan review and any condo or HOA approval in front of that. Those two are what set the calendar, so we submit both at contract and give you the realistic date rather than the optimistic one.
