Wellington Lanai Sunrooms & Patios serves Palm Springs, FL, installing screen rooms, patio enclosures, and full sunroom additions for homeowners throughout this village. We are fully licensed for Palm Beach County permit work and have built in this corridor for years - from the ranch-style homes off South Military Trail to the older concrete block neighborhoods tucked behind it. We respond to all inquiries within one business day.
Palm Springs gets relentless mosquitoes and afternoon thunderstorms from June through September. A properly built screen room lets you use your rear patio through the spring and fall without the bugs - and the mild winters here mean that screened space is genuinely comfortable for a good part of the year.

Many Palm Springs ranch homes have an open rear patio that collects water during the rainy season and bakes in the sun the rest of the time. A patio enclosure turns that unused slab into a shaded, sheltered space that works for outdoor living without the weather limitations.
Palm Springs homes from the 1950s and 1960s often have a solid concrete slab in the rear that is too good to ignore but too exposed to use. Converting that existing slab into a glassed-in sunroom adds comfortable living square footage without the cost of digging a new foundation.
For Palm Springs homeowners who want more living space than an enclosure provides, a sunroom addition is the next step. We size additions to work within Palm Beach County setback requirements on the smaller lots typical of this village, so the project stays compliant without giving up more yard than necessary.
A four season sunroom with an air conditioning connection is the version that works in Palm Springs year-round, not just during the mild months. Low-E glass handles the intense UV load on sunny South Florida days, and a mini-split keeps the room at a comfortable temperature even in the middle of summer.
Enclosed patio rooms suit the modest-sized homes common throughout Palm Springs well. Turning a covered rear patio into a proper enclosed room - with walls, windows, and weatherproofing - is typically less expensive than a ground-up room addition and adds the same kind of livable, year-round indoor-outdoor space.
Most homes in Palm Springs were built between the 1950s and 1970s, putting the bulk of the village housing stock at 50 to 70 years old. Concrete block construction with stucco exteriors is the norm - durable, but not immune to the effects of decades of South Florida heat and humidity. Many of the original concrete slabs on these homes have developed cracks and low spots over time as the sandy, flat soil underneath them has shifted through wet and dry seasons. Before enclosing or building on top of an aging slab, the concrete needs to be assessed rather than just framed over. A contractor who skips that step is setting up a problem that shows up a few years after installation, usually as a gap at the base frame or water intrusion at the slab joints.
Palm Springs also has a drainage challenge that shapes how enclosure work needs to be done here. The village sits on flat land with no natural slope to move storm water away from foundations. When the heavy afternoon rains hit from June through September, standing water in yards and near slabs is common. An enclosure that does not account for drainage grading around the perimeter will funnel that water into the base of the frame rather than away from it. We include a drainage review in every on-site assessment so the finished project handles water correctly rather than creating a new maintenance headache.
Our crew works throughout Palm Springs regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and enclosure work here. We submit all permits through the Palm Beach County Building Division, which handles permitting for the village. Palm Springs uses its own zoning code under the Village of Palm Springs, so setback and lot coverage rules here are specific to the village rather than general county standards - a detail that matters when sizing an enclosure on the smaller lots throughout the community.
Palm Springs is a small, mostly residential village sandwiched between West Palm Beach to the north and Lake Worth Beach to the south. South Military Trail is the main commercial road running through the village - nearly every Palm Springs resident knows it - with quiet residential streets spreading out on both sides. The housing throughout those neighborhoods is dominated by single-story Florida ranch homes on modest lots. We have worked on homes all over the village, from the streets near the Palm Springs Community Center to the neighborhoods closer to the Lake Worth Beach border.
We also serve homeowners in the communities surrounding Palm Springs. If you are just over the line in Lake Worth Beach to the south or east, or in Greenacres to the north, we cover the whole surrounding corridor.
Call or submit a contact form and we will respond within one business day. We ask a few upfront questions about your existing space - slab size, overhead cover, and what you are hoping to use the room for - so the site visit is productive rather than exploratory.
We come to the property, assess the existing slab and drainage conditions, measure setbacks, and walk through material options. You will get a written estimate before any permit is filed - the number you see is based on what is actually at your property, not a generic quote.
We prepare and submit the permit application to Palm Beach County Building Division. Review typically takes three to five weeks. We follow up on any plan corrections and keep you updated on status so you are not left waiting and wondering.
Once permits are approved, installation on an existing slab usually takes one to two weeks. We schedule all required county inspections during the build and complete a final walkthrough with you before we leave. The finished project is fully permitted and inspected, with no open items.

(561) 576-0264Palm Springs is a small, incorporated village of about 24,000 people in central Palm Beach County, sitting between West Palm Beach to the north and Lake Worth Beach to the south. The village is almost entirely built out - there is very little open land left for new construction, which means almost all the housing stock is existing homes rather than new builds. The dominant housing type is the single-story Florida ranch: concrete block walls, low-pitched roofs, attached carports or garages, and modest backyards. Many of these homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, making them some of the oldest owner-occupied housing in Palm Beach County.
South Military Trail is the backbone of the village, the main road that connects Palm Springs to the larger communities on either side. Residential streets fan out on both sides of Military Trail in a quiet, grid-like pattern. The Palm Springs Community Center serves as the main gathering spot for local events and recreation programs. The village sits about five to six miles west of the Atlantic coast - close enough to feel the effects of South Florida humidity and salt air, but not in the direct coastal high-wind zone that applies to oceanfront properties. Homeowners in neighboring communities like West Palm Beach face similar building conditions and often contact us for the same types of projects.
