Screened Porch Conversion Services in Orlando, Florida
A screened porch conversion adds 200-400 sq ft of usable living space to your home while maintaining sight lines and natural airflow-ideal for Orlando's subtropical climate where outdoor entertaining is a lifestyle. Bill Morgan inc has completed over 150 porch conversions in Orlando neighborhoods from Baldwin Park to Thornton Park, using marine-grade aluminum frames rated for Florida's wind load standards and 95% UV-blocking screening materials. Whether your home sits in Pine Hills, Apopka, or near Lake Buena Vista, we design custom layouts that integrate seamlessly with your existing foundation, roofline, and exterior finishes.
Our screened porch conversion process begins with a detailed site inspection and measurement phase to verify foundation stability and existing roof structure-critical steps for homes in flood-prone areas near downtown Orlando or the Winter Park area. Next, we obtain all required Orange County building permits (typically issued within 5-7 business days) and install pressure-treated posts, aluminum fascia, and your choice of screening material. Final phases include soffit installation, weatherproofing with caulk and sealant, and a full inspection to ensure proper drainage and code compliance before you move in.

Our Screened Porch Conversion Process
Consultation and Site Evaluation
Our team visits your home in Orlando, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, or surrounding areas to inspect the existing porch structure, measure dimensions, and assess foundation condition. This typically takes 30-45 minutes and allows us to identify any structural repairs needed before screening begins.
Permit Application and Approval
Bill Morgan inc submits all necessary plans and permit applications to Orange County Building Department. Residential screened porch permits in the Orlando area are approved within 5-10 business days in most cases, ensuring full code compliance.
Frame Installation and Preparation
Our crew installs pressure-treated posts, aluminum beams, and fascia boards-a process taking 1-2 days depending on porch size. We ensure proper slope for water drainage and alignment with your existing roofline.
Screening Installation and Finishing
Screening material is stretched and fastened to the aluminum frame using spline and a specialized roller tool. Soffit, gutter, and weatherproofing are completed over 1-2 days, with final sealant curing overnight before inspection.
Final Inspection and Walkthrough
Orange County inspector verifies structural integrity, screening security, and drainage compliance. Bill Morgan inc performs a detailed walkthrough with you to confirm all materials, finishes, and functionality meet your expectations.
