Glass Room & Patio Enclosure Installation in Charlotte, NC

Glass Sunrooms and Glass Porch Enclosures

We build two kinds of glass rooms. A glass porch enclosure keeps your existing roof and adds glass walls, sliding glass doors and screens on the openings, which is the quicker and more affordable option. A glass sunroom adds an insulated roof and insulated glass, with heating and cooling, so the room works in January and July like any other room in the house. Our four-season sunroom additions are built the same way.

Every enclosure uses aluminum framing that will not rot or rust in Carolina humidity, tempered safety glass where the code requires it, and glass panels sized for your openings. You choose the frame color, the glass package and whether the walls slide open for the breeze. Prefer vinyl panels you can lift out in spring? Express Porch Panels are the lower-cost alternative, and we show you both at the estimate.

Why Charlotte Homeowners Choose Glass Over Screens

Screens keep the bugs out from April to October. Glass adds the other months. Charlotte sits in climate zone 3A, with hot, humid summers and winters that dip below freezing at night, so a glass room with insulated low-E glass stays usable far longer than a screened porch. The spring pollen that coats every screened porch stays outside too.

Because a glass enclosure is a permanent, enclosed addition, it is built to the North Carolina Residential Code, which the Office of State Fire Marshal lists as the 2018 edition still in effect. That covers the footings, the glass, the electrical and the roof loads. We design to that code from the first drawing, so the inspection is a formality, not a surprise.

Key Points

Use the room most of the year: glass walls block wind, rain and pollen that a screened porch lets through.
Light without the heat: low-E insulated glass cuts the heat and UV that come through single-pane glass.
Built on what you have: most glass porch enclosures go on the existing roof, slab or deck.
Upgrade path: start with a glass porch enclosure now, add heating and cooling later to make it a four-season room.
Code and permit handled: drawings, Mecklenburg County permit and inspections are part of the job.

Why Charlotte Homeowners Trust Us With Glass Rooms

We are a family-run crew based on Pleasant Oaks Circle in northwest Charlotte. We also build the porches, decks and patio covers that glass enclosures sit on, so we check the roof and footings before we promise you a glass room.

Glass Rooms in Charlotte Since 1995

Thirty years of enclosures on Charlotte homes means we have seen every roofline, every HOA rule and every inspector in Mecklenburg and Union County.

Permits and Plan Review Handled

A glass enclosure is an enclosed addition, so Mecklenburg County requires a permit and plan review. We prepare the drawings, pull the permit and schedule the inspections.

Glass and Framing Built for Carolina Weather

Aluminum framing that does not rot or rust, tempered safety glass, and insulated low-E glass that cuts summer heat. Manufacturer warranties on all materials.

One Crew, Start to Finish

The crew that frames the openings is the crew that sets the glass and cleans up. One point of contact, and a written schedule with the estimate.

Our Process

Our Glass Enclosure Process

Four steps from first visit to a finished room. Most glass porch enclosures on an existing roof are complete within a few weeks of permit approval.

Site Visit and Design:

We measure the porch or patio, check the roof, posts and footings, and give you a written estimate with glass and frame options.

Permit and HOA Paperwork:

We prepare the drawings and pull the Mecklenburg County or Union County permit. If your HOA needs documents, we provide them.

Framing and Glass:

Aluminum framing goes in first, then the glass panels, sliding doors and screens. Electrical and any mini split are installed under their own permits.

Inspection and Walkthrough:

The county signs off. We walk the room with you, show you how the doors and screens work, and hand over the paperwork and warranties.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to work with. Express Sunrooms of Charlotte seem to care about us as the customer. Very responsible and reasonable. Perform high quality results and willing to take on smaller jobs like putting a metal roof on our over-sized shed. Glad we found Express at the Charlotte/Concord Home show. Will continue to work with them in the future. Super plus all the way!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David and his crew did an awesome job! They gave me the best price out of many  estimates. Put me on the schedule quicker than any other company could! Not because they didn't have the same workload....but because his guys actually work hard and get the job done quickly!  Even the 95 degree heat didn't slow them down! My fence was made in The USA which was the icing on the cake for me! A great crew of Southern hospitality! Thanks again! :)

Common Questions

Glass Enclosure FAQs

Answers to what Charlotte homeowners ask us most about glass rooms and porch enclosures. Don't see yours? Call us at 704.713.7151 or send a message.

How much does a glass patio enclosure cost in Charlotte?

It depends on the size of the porch, single-pane or insulated low-E glass, how many panels slide open, and whether you add heating and cooling. Enclosing a porch that already has a roof costs less than building a new room. We give you a written price at a free on-site estimate, or you can get a ballpark from our cost calculator.

Do I need a permit for a glass enclosure in Charlotte?

Yes. A glass enclosure is an enclosed addition, so Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement requires a building permit and plan review, and any new electrical or mechanical work is permitted too. Outside Mecklenburg, your county or town office issues it. We prepare the drawings, pull the permit and schedule the inspections.

What is the difference between a glass porch enclosure and a glass sunroom?

A glass porch enclosure keeps your existing roof and adds glass walls and doors, so it is a three-season room unless you add heating and cooling. A glass sunroom has an insulated roof, insulated glass and its own heating and cooling, so it is a true four-season room. Both use aluminum framing and tempered safety glass.

Will a glass room get too hot in a Charlotte summer?

Single-pane glass can. Insulated low-E glass reflects a large share of the sun's heat and UV, and a ceiling fan or a ductless mini split keeps the room comfortable on July afternoons. A solid insulated roof instead of a glass roof also makes a big difference, and we recommend it for most Charlotte homes.

Can you put a glass enclosure on my existing screened porch?

Usually, yes. The aluminum frame of a screened porch can often take glass panels in place of the screens, and the roof stays. We check the posts, footings and roof at the estimate. If the porch is wood-framed, we may replace the openings with aluminum framing to carry the glass.

Glass enclosure or Express Porch Panels: which should I choose?

Choose glass if you want a clear view, a permanent room and the option to heat and cool it. Choose Express Porch Panels if you want a lower-cost three-season porch with vinyl panels you can lift out in spring. Many homeowners start with panels and move to glass later.

How long does a glass enclosure take to build?

Enclosing an existing covered porch with glass usually takes a few weeks after the permit is approved and the glass arrives. A glass sunroom with a new roof and footings takes longer because of the foundation work and extra inspections. We give you a schedule with the written estimate.

Which glass fits your porch?

Insulated vs. Single-Pane Glass for Charlotte Summers

Single-pane glass closes a porch in and keeps the rain and pollen out, but it lets most of the summer heat through and sweats on cold mornings. Insulated low-E glass has two panes with a sealed air space and a thin metallic coating that reflects heat, so the room stays cooler in July and warmer in January. If you only want a dry, pollen-free porch for spring and fall, single-pane or vinyl panels do the job. If you want a room you heat and cool, insulated glass is the one to choose.

	Single-pane glass	Insulated low-E glass	Express Porch Panels (vinyl)
Best for	Dry, pollen-free porch in spring and fall	Heated and cooled room used all year	Three-season porch at the lowest cost
Summer heat	Most of it comes through	Low-E coating reflects a large share of it	Panels lift out for airflow
Winter use	Cold, condensation on the glass	Comfortable with heating	Blocks wind, not insulated
View	Clear glass	Clear glass	Clear vinyl, slight haze over time
Cost	Middle	Highest	Lowest

Want the vinyl option explained? See Express Porch Panels. Want a room with its own heating and cooling and an insulated roof? That is a four-season sunroom addition.

Glass Lanai Enclosures and Covered Patios

A lanai is a covered patio that is open on the sides. Glass lanai enclosures keep the roof and the slab, add aluminum posts and glass panels between them, and usually include sliding glass doors so the room opens up on nice days. On a patio that is still open to the sky, an insulated patio cover goes on first, sized to carry the glass walls later.

Glass Enclosures Across the Charlotte Area

Around Lake Norman, glass rooms are popular because they keep the view and block the bugs that come off the water at dusk. In Union County and south Charlotte, many newer two-story homes have a covered patio off the kitchen that converts well, and most of those neighborhoods have an HOA. Our HOA approval guide lists what to submit. Across the state line in Fort Mill and York County, the permit goes through the county or the town instead of Mecklenburg.

How Much Does a Glass Patio Enclosure Cost in Charlotte?

Glass patio enclosure cost in Charlotte depends on the size of the porch, single-pane or insulated low-E glass, how many panels slide open, and whether the room gets its own heating and cooling. Enclosing an existing covered porch costs less than building a new room with a roof and footings. You get a written price at a free on-site estimate.

A glass enclosure is an enclosed addition, so it needs a building permit. In Mecklenburg County that goes through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, and additions go through plan review before the permit is issued. We prepare the drawings, pull the permit and schedule the inspections, and if the room gets outlets, lights or a mini split, the electrical and mechanical work is permitted too.
