Serving Tequesta, FL and surrounding areas. (561) 954-1589
Your porch sits empty all summer while the bugs and heat keep you inside. A sunroom addition from Cornerstone gives you a comfortable, enclosed space you can actually enjoy twelve months a year.
Sunroom additions in Tequesta, FL create a fully enclosed, attached room between your home and your backyard - most projects run from a few weeks of construction to a couple of months total when permit review is included. The result is a livable space that works whether you want a screened enclosure, a glass-walled room, or a fully air-conditioned extension of your home.
A lot of Tequesta homeowners come to us after years of watching their screened lanai sit unused from June through September. The combination of heat, humidity, and afternoon storms makes an unenclosed outdoor space nearly useless for half the year. A properly built sunroom solves that - and if you are looking at a more complete, climate-controlled build, our four season sunrooms are designed specifically for South Florida's conditions.
Every addition we build in this area is permitted, engineered to Palm Beach County's wind-load standards, and inspected before we consider the job done. That is not optional in this coastal zone - it is the only way to build something that holds up.
If your lanai or screened porch is comfortable in January but unbearable by May, you are losing use of your property for most of the year. Heat and humidity make an unenclosed space feel like a sauna. Enclosing it with proper glazing and air conditioning gives that space back.
No-see-ums and mosquitoes are relentless near Tequesta's waterfront and canals, especially after sunset. A screened or glass-enclosed sunroom lets you sit outside in the evening without retreating indoors. If bug spray is a nightly ritual, a sunroom solves the root problem.
If you need a home office, a playroom, or a casual sitting area and your floor plan has no room for it, a sunroom adds real usable square footage. It is one of the most practical ways to expand a single-story Florida home without a full interior renovation.
Torn screens, corroded aluminum framing, and a leaking roof are signs that your current structure has run its course. Patching an aging enclosure is often a temporary fix. Replacing it with a properly built sunroom gives you decades of reliable use.
Not every homeowner needs the same thing. A basic aluminum-framed screen enclosure keeps the bugs out and costs less upfront - it is a practical starting point if your main goal is insect control and light shade. Step up to a glass-walled enclosure and you gain protection from driving rain and a cleaner, more finished look. At the top of the range, a four season sunroom connects to your home's air conditioning and becomes a true additional room - comfortable in July just as much as January.
The structure itself starts with the right foundation. If your existing patio slab is in good shape, we can often build on it. If not, a new concrete slab is poured and given time to cure before framing begins. All framing and glazing in this coastal area must meet Palm Beach County's wind-load requirements - that means impact-rated glass or panels and anchoring systems that are engineered for the conditions here. For the full build process, see our sunroom construction page.
Best for homeowners who want bug and rain protection at a more accessible price point, with a breezy, open feel.
Ideal for those who want year-round use, better weather sealing, and a cleaner indoor aesthetic.
The right choice if you want the room to function like any other part of your home, with heating and cooling included.
Tequesta is a small waterfront village along the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Most of its homes were built in the 1960s through the 1980s - a period when screened lanais were standard, but fully enclosed livable rooms were less common. Today, those aging enclosures are often due for replacement, and homeowners are choosing to upgrade to a proper sunroom that handles everything this climate throws at it. Salt air off the Intracoastal corrodes aluminum framing and screen hardware faster than most people expect. A well-built sunroom using materials rated for coastal conditions is a longer-lasting investment.
We regularly serve homeowners in Jupiter, FL and Hobe Sound, FL, both of which share Tequesta's coastal exposure and the same Palm Beach County building requirements. If your home sits near the water or backs up to a canal, we know how to assess setbacks, check for environmental buffers, and design a sunroom that fits your specific lot.
We respond within 1 business day. No obligation - just a quick conversation about your space, how you want to use it, and what type of enclosure fits your goals and budget.
We visit your property, take measurements, check setbacks and HOA requirements if applicable, and walk through your options. You receive a detailed, written proposal with no pressure to decide on the spot.
We handle the permit application and required engineering drawings for Palm Beach County. If you have an HOA, we can help you prepare that submission too. Permit review takes several weeks - we build that into the timeline from day one.
Once permits are approved, we build - foundation if needed, framing, glazing, roof, and any electrical or HVAC connections. A building department inspector reviews the completed work before we do a final walkthrough with you.
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation, no sales pressure. Fill out the form and someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
(561) 954-1589Florida requires contractors to hold a state license for permanent structural additions. You can verify our license status online through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. We carry full liability insurance on every job - if something goes wrong on your property, it is covered.
Every sunroom we build in this coastal zone meets the impact-glazing and structural anchoring requirements for Palm Beach County. We handle the permit drawings, and the building department inspection confirms compliance. You are not adding a weak point to your home before storm season.
A contractor who skips permits is passing risk onto you. An unpermitted room addition can create problems with your homeowner's insurance and flag as a liability when you sell. We pull every permit and pass every required inspection as a standard part of every project. The National Sunroom Association sets industry standards for quality and safety - see nationalsunroom.org
We work in Tequesta and the surrounding Palm Beach County communities regularly. We know the building department's requirements, the setback rules for waterfront lots, and how to design for the heat, humidity, and salt air that affect every home here.
Every one of these points matters in South Florida - not just in the abstract, but in the reality of building in a coastal high-wind zone where permits are thorough, HOAs are active, and one corner cut can mean a leaking roof or a failed inspection.
A fully insulated, climate-controlled room addition that functions like any other room in your home, year-round.
