Serving All Brevard, Broward, Martin, Indian River, Palm Beach and St. Lucie Counties.
Premium Shade & Outdoor Living Structures
South Florida is undeniably beautiful, but its paradise-like setting comes with extreme heat, sudden storms, and no shortage of bugs, all of which keep most patios and porches sitting empty for much of the year.
At Max Guard Hurricane Windows, we specialize in turning that unused space into a room you'll actually live in. Whether it's screens engineered to handle real wind loads or impact-rated glass and vinyl panels for a fully climate-controlled room, we build to the same standards as our hurricane windows and doors — not the standards of a generic aluminum patio kit.

Why a Max Guard Enclosure
Our Impact hurricane and storm protection experts educate you about your options during a free in-home or showroom consultation.
You Already Paid for This Space. Use It.
The porch, patio, or lanai is already there. What's missing is a way to enjoy it without checking the bug spray and the radar first.
A Screen Keeps Out Bugs. It Doesn't Keep Out a Storm.
Standard screening tears in a stiff wind. Our enclosures use heavy-duty screens or impact-rated glass and vinyl framing engineered to hold up in a real storm.
Humidity and Debris Don't Wait for an Invitation
An open or loosely screened patio lets in wind-blown leaves, pollen, and humidity year-round. A properly enclosed space keeps it out, and keeps your furniture from taking the hit.
A Fraction of the Cost of a Home Addition
Enclosing what you already have delivers the extra living space of an addition, without the foundation work, framing, or permitting of building from scratch.

Getting Started
Max Guard impact windows and doors tackle the biggest threats South Florida homeowners face every single year, so you’re not scrambling when a storm is days away.
About Patio & Porch Enclosures
- What’s the difference between a screen enclosure and a glass patio enclosure?
A screen enclosure filters out bugs and debris but leaves you exposed to heat, humidity, and rain. A glass enclosure uses impact-rated panels to create a fully climate-controlled, storm-proof room that adds real usable space to your home. - Will enclosing my patio or lanai make it too hot to use?
No, if it’s built right. We spec the glass and screening package to your specific space and sun exposure, so the room stays comfortable instead of turning into a greenhouse. - Can you enclose a porch that already has a roof, or only a full lanai?
Both. We regularly enclose existing covered porches, lanais, and patios, working with the roofline and footprint you already have. - Do Max Guard’s patio enclosures and porch systems withstand hurricanes?
Yes. Every Max Guard product uses heavy-duty aluminum framing and impact-rated laminated glass, tested to meet Miami-Dade County’s Large Missile Impact and Design Pressure standards, the same codes our hurricane windows meet. - Can I add sliding glass doors to an enclosed patio?
Yes. Every enclosure is custom-designed around your existing patio or lanai footprint and how you plan to use the room, from a reading nook to a full second living room. - Do I need a building permit to enclose my patio or porch?
Yes. Any permanent enclosure requires engineering approval and a local building permit. Max Guard handles the full process, from drawings to inspection.
Credentials & Authority
- Which brands and manufacturers does Max Guard use?
We partner only with industry-leading manufacturers and hold Elite Status with Andersen Windows and Pella, giving us access to exclusive, superior-engineered product lines with premium factory-direct warranties. - How can I be sure of Max Guard’s technical quality and reputation?
We were honored with the Best of the Best National Award, ranking #214 nationally among residential service companies, and we hold the rigorous Disney Verification for operational excellence and safety compliance.
Energy and Financial Efficiency
- Does a enclosure actually help reduce cooling costs?
Yes, by shading windows, doors, and outdoor living areas, a enclosure reduces direct solar heat gain on your home, which can ease the load on your AC during peak summer months. - Can a patio enclosure lower my homeowner’s insurance premium?
If the enclosure uses impact-rated glass, it may qualify for the same wind-mitigation credits as impact windows. A standard screen enclosure typically does not, since it isn’t rated opening protection. - Are financing options available?
Yes. We offer flexible financing so you can spread the investment into manageable monthly payments that fit your budget. Speak with a consultant to review current plans.
Warranty, Installation, and Maintenance
- Does Max Guard offer a warranty on enclosures?
Yes, we offer a true Lifetime Warranty on materials and labor, covering both the structure and the glass. - How long does enclosure installation take?
Physical installation typically takes a few business days depending on size, but the full process also includes measurements, custom manufacturing, and permitting, plan for several weeks from contract to completion. - How do I clean and maintain my enclosure?
Rinse with a low-pressure hose to remove dust and salt spray, then use a soft microfiber cloth with mild soap. Avoid pressure washers, abrasive pads, and harsh chemicals, which can damage the glass and frame finish.
Regulations and Programs
- What is the My Safe Florida Home program, and is a patio enclosure eligible?
The program is built around wind-mitigation improvements to your home’s openings. A glass enclosure with impact-rated panels may qualify the same way impact windows do; a standard screen enclosure generally does not, since it isn’t opening protection. - I live in an HOA community, does Max Guard help with approvals?
Yes. We provide all the technical documentation your HOA’s architectural committee requires, product spec sheets, signed engineering drawings, and compliance certificates. - Does a Max Guard enclosure qualify for the My Safe Florida Home program?
Because it uses impact-rated glass that meets wind-mitigation standards, a Max Guard enclosure may qualify for the program’s grants.
General
- How does the initial consultation work?
We offer a 100% free in-home estimate. A specialist visits your home, evaluates the space, takes measurements, and provides a transparent quote with no obligation. - Why choose Max Guard over another Enclosure company?
