Fort Lauderdale Engineered Pool Cages & Patio Covers — Insured

Call (877) 838-3728 or send the form and we schedule a site visit in Fort Lauderdale, usually within a couple of days. You get a written, itemized free estimate with materials and scope spelled out — no verbal ballpark, no pressure, and no charge whether you hire us or not. Se habla español.

We also serve Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL and the rest of the Broward–Miami-Dade coastal corridor. Everything starts at the Hollywood Elite Patio Covers homepage.

Hollywood Elite Patio Covers covers the same range of work in Fort Lauderdale that we do in Hollywood — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:

• Wood Patio Covers — This is the one page on our site where the right answer is usually a different contractor. Wood framing sits outside a structural aluminum and screen enclosure specialty license, and we will not pretend otherwise to keep a job on our board.
• Pergola Installation — An attached pergola in Hollywood is engineered like anything else that bolts to your house. Open rafters catch less wind than a solid roof, but the connection at the wall still has to be drawn, sealed and inspected the same way.
• Freestanding Pergolas — Freestanding gets chosen for the wrong reason and it is still usually right. People think detaching from the house means less engineering.
• Louvered Pergolas — A louvered roof solves something specific about Hollywood weather that no fixed structure does. It rains here almost every afternoon from June through September, then clears within the hour.
• Carports — The word carport covers two completely different things, and only one of them is legal to install here. A permitted, engineered aluminum structure with sealed drawings, and a bolt-together kit off the internet that has no HVHZ approval at all.
• Gazebos & Pavilions — A gazebo is the structure people most often try to install without a permit, and the one where that decision comes back hardest. It is freestanding, it looks like furniture, and the code does not care about either of those things.

Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County with a population of roughly 182,760 at the 2020 census, close enough to Hollywood that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Rio Vista neighborhood, the Tarpon River neighborhood.

Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Fort Lauderdale properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Broward County, and a patio cover contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
