Screen Enclosures
Custom-designed aluminum screen enclosures protect outdoor spaces from pests while maintaining airflow. Our durable 20/20 fiberglass mesh and 18/14 heavy-duty screens withstand Florida's climate. Available with pet doors, sliding/screen doors, and chairrail options, these enclosures transform patios into usable living areas. Installation includes color-matched frames and optional future glass conversion.
Pool Enclosures
Protect swimming pools with code-compliant screen or glass enclosures that enhance safety and reduce maintenance. Our designs feature impact-resistant materials, lockable access points, and temperature-regulating screens. Cathedral and dome roof styles maximize light transmission while preventing debris accumulation. All enclosures meet Florida building codes for hurricane-prone areas.
Sunroom Conversions
Transform existing patios into year-round sunrooms using insulated glass and thermally broken aluminum frames. Options include cathedral ceilings, Low-E glass, and Argon-filled panes for energy efficiency. Our four-season rooms maintain comfortable temperatures without sacrificing natural light, with optional skylights and ceiling fans for climate control.
Outdoor Kitchens
Custom-built outdoor kitchens feature stainless steel grills, weatherproof cabinetry, and granite countertops. Premium designs include Kamado Joe smokers, side burners, and integrated refrigeration. All units use marine-grade materials to resist corrosion, with optional lighting and pergola shading systems for evening use in Jacksonville's climate.
Replacement Windows
ENERGY STAR-rated vinyl replacement windows reduce cooling costs through Low-E coatings and Argon gas insulation. Our double-hung and slider models feature lifetime warranties on glass units and hardware. Impact-resistant options meet Florida's hurricane protection standards while maintaining aesthetic appeal with bronze, white, or custom color finishes.

We had a simple patio installed with additional concrete poured. Everyone involved in the process did a great job and kept us informed on what was going on. Mike and Danny did the installation and were absolutely a great team and we could not be happier! Jay their sales guy did an excellent job explaining the process and giving us realistic timelines and quotes. Rodney in the front office led us in the right direction patiently answering all our questions and got the ball rolling. The electricians and concrete folks did superb work! Again everyone was professional and pleasant throughout the entire process.

I had my enclosure over a year now and I am still very happy with it. It is holding up great. It was installed in one day. The screens and materials are great quality and blocks just about every bug the woods have to offer. I would definitely recommend. I read some reviews about permitting complaints, and I had my own issues. Just keep in mind that permitting can sometimes be painful depending on the area that you live. The is bureaucracy and not the fault of Lifetime Enclosures. Every locality has their own set of requirements. Just do your homework so there are no surprises.

I had a large patio and cover added onto the backside of my house. I placed the order April 2021 and the final install happened in March 2022. Although it took some time to get started, I was kept up to date on where we were in the process. Once Carlos and his crew showed up everything was handled within a few weeks. There were a few areas they had to come back and correct but I am more than happy with the end result. I love my new outdoor living space.

Lifetime Enclosures installed a beautiful enclosed patio on the back of our home. We can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did adding to our home. We're already enjoying the space. The communication was great throughout the long process of realizing our vision for an upgrade to our house. We highly recommend their services.

Lifetime Enclosures did an outstanding job from the sales process to the installation. Once we agreed to move forward we were communicated with consistently. The operations team informed us of the status of our job, from material acquisition through the installation date. The install was very well done. Given my experience I would recommend Lifetime without reservation.
