Pool Enclosure with solid roof area in Crawfordville


All Custom Aluminum is proud of our latest job in Crawfordville, south of Tallahassee. We initially were called to bid just a screened enclosure. But in the course of talking with our customer, we saw a need for some space between the house and the pool which could serve as an intermediary transition, affording sun and rain protection as well as a walkable, insulated and visually appealing roof and ceiling. Fortunately, we had just the product.


Our composite insulated roof systems are build to withstand windloads commensurate with the home itself. In fact, our energy star rated roof systems can span over 16.5' in a 120 mph wind zone. In this case, we provided our customer with a 12' by 36' solid area centered on the rear egress doors of the home. The additional area was screened to provide a versatile, and cost effective area to either side of the insulated cover.

The bronze mansard style screen roof affords maximum volume for the square footage. And it frames the pool area well, drawing attention visually to the entire pool and deck. This enclosure is screened with our new Bettervue brand screening from Phifer. It provides the 20/20 mesh size which is necessary to keep out the sand gnats found south of the fall line near Tallahassee. But unlike the previous small mesh screening, it provides 10% or so more light and air transmittance. Oh and it has a greater wind load rating. And it includes a mold and mildew repellant additive called Microban. We know, it seems too good to be true.



All Custom Aluminum constructs screen rooms, patio enclosures, sunrooms, metal awnings, retractable canvas awnings, pool and screen enclosures, greenhouses, motorized screens, and more.

Southwood Screened Porch Project

All Custom Aluminum recently completed another fine patio enclosure in Southwood on Endicott Drive for Whitaker Construction and Design. We utilized aluminum framework and notched each piece to conform to the existing posts for a streamlined look. This installation included two doors, but kept the rear exposure open and symetrical. In a screened patio, unlike in a house, doors actually add more material into your field of view. So placing them to the sides and closer to the rear of the home, if possible, can allow the visual focus of the room to remain as open and symetrical as possible.

New Metal Pergola Project in Tallahassee

If this job site looks familiar, there is a reason. All Custom recently installed a complete set of insulated glass patio windows and doors at this residence. The customers were so happy with our work, they were kind enough to bring more of their business our way. They opted for the metal pergola system because of its superiority to wood products. Our metal pergola systems are produced with high quality finishes and high dimension materials which, because they are metal, will never rot, warp, twist, waterlog, or require painting.

Shading coefficients can be adjusted to the customer's preference. In this case, our crew demonstrated several possibilities so our customer could determine which spacing produced the desired look. Notice the contoured beam edges and cast fitted caps. Our design allowed for the inclusion of a structural aluminum super gutter contiguous with the pergola. This large guage extruded structural gutter serves as the attachment point of the pergola.

All Custom Aluminumn provides free consultation and design on all pergolas, glass, and screen enclosures. With over 17 years in business, we have the experience it takes to construct any pergola in a way that is both structurally sound and artfully rendered.

New Screened Addition on Hillcrest Street in Tallahassee

All Custom aluminum has just finished a solid roof screened room which incorporated an overlayment of osb and the application of shingles to produce a seamless look, while still taking advantage of all the benefits of building with aluminum. We wanted to enclose the space while maintaining an aesthetic appeal consistent with the home, and are pleased to have done both at a reasonable price, in only a few days. The secret is in our composite aluminum roof system, which incorporates all the elements of a house's ceiling, attic and roof into one, energy efficient, load bearing composite.
The shingles are set in the traditional nail down fashion, and serve to suppliment the finished impervious composite panels with even more redundant layers of waterfast protection. As importantly, shingling the roof provides that final touch that pulls together all the elements of construction into one synergistic whole. We use drip edge and provide 6" gutters on all our shingled additions, to provide a completely traditional look. No one has to know you used environmentally friendly, Energy Star rated green building materials, unless you want them to.
Built in a neighborhood known for its historic homes and quaint bugelows, this addition needed to conform to the existing architecture and blend in rather than stand out. In that regard, we mirrored the upper gable of the home with our gable projection, matching the pitch. Next we installed the aluminum framework and composite aluminum roof system. Our internally fabricated aluminum components allow for spans not typically seen with wood construction. And our components hold screen tight for years.
At All Custom Aluminum, our philosophy is to sell the best quality product at a reasonable price. So each of our jobs receives our best efforts, starting with our laser assisted layout and design process and ending when our team of longstanding industry professionals has cleaned up spic and span so that we have left nothing behind but a great job. Our crews bring a level of professionalism to the industry second to none, and our reputation for going the extra mile comes from their efforts at top quality customer service.

Since the deck is elevated, we use an approved safety screen below the chair rails to afford code compliate protection from accidents while maintaining an open view, free of pickets and multiple rails. Our design also allows for more interior volume because there is no need for attic space, as even electrical and fan conduits are internal and laminated inside the roof during the manufacturing process. Its just another way working with All Custom Aluminum brings you more options for less hassle.

Glass Patio Enclosure Project.

All Custom Aluminum recently completed this beautiful insulated glass porch enclosure off Bull Headly in North Tallahassee. We configured a series of structural alumiunum supports, affording the customer a series of large dimension insulated glass windows which lent an additional layer of openess to the feel of the room. The homeowners opted for a tempered glass fixed window set below the chair rail, affording them more visibility and light penetration. And two Prime doors with dead bolts and keylocks keeps eveything as secure as any rear entry door.
The horizontal insulated glass windows are remarkably solid and well constructed. They come with easy to operate locks, and roll open with ease, unlike many single hung windows. And horizontal OX and XO glass windows are available in sizes up to around 6' by 6', again, unlike many single hung windows. Moreover, our window systems are constructed according to your exact on-site measurements. Don't pay more for a pre-manufactured kit sunroom glass patio enclosure, let All Custom Aluminum design and construct a custom enclosure you can be proud of.

Tallahassee Outdoor Kitchen


All Custom Aluminum is proud of our recently completed project in Tallahassee. This screen room included a solid roof which was an insulated, walkable composite roof sytem which exceeded the wind load rating of the house itself.

Did we mention the installation took only a couple of days?

Rustic Screen Room

All Custom Aluminum can create any style screened enclosure, at a reasonable price. We are proud of this job near Monticello, FL on a log home. Interestingly, the home was moved to the property and featured on the show Mega Movers. The homeowners needed an area free from the bugs, but didn't want to compromise the look of their beloved log home. So we milled up custom wooded slats in our shop and dropped them off at the home for staining.




Once the slats were ready, our crews installed the screens and custom slats to mesh seamlessly with the existing structure. At All Custom Aluminum, going the extra mile to create a job we can be as proud of as you are means everything. Word of mouth advertising, they say, is the best kind of advertising. And we want you to sing our praises. But our commitment to quality runs deeper than just making it look good on the outside. We know that every good job incorporates procedures which may be hidden from view, but are none the less important, sometimes vital steps for a good finished product.

How Strong are Aluminum Screen Rooms?

Aluminumn Screen Enclosures are required by law to be constructed to the same wind loads as the host structure. In Florida, those wind loads were adjusted in the 2010 Building Code, which was adopted recently and began effect on March 15 2012. In North Florida, particularly the Tallahassee area, wind zones were increased by 10 mph. Many 110 mph wind zones were increased to 120 mph. Likewise, in Wakulla County, most 120 mph zones were increased to 130.












Moreover, Building Departments require sealed engineered drawings to accompany permit submissions for screen rooms and pool enclosures. So any job you have done on your home that is permitted has met the wind load requirements. All Custom Aluminum is proud to have retained Sound Structures Engineering as our source for sealed drawings, specifications, and expertise.

Enclosing Existing Patios

Perhaps no other home improvement project can add so much to your home for so little investment as enclosing your existing covered patio or lanai. That's because aluminum screen wall systems are hands down the least expensive option when it comes to enclosing an area of wall. And since the roof already exists, it takes only hours to convert from open and buggy to a patio or lanai that is both a funtional and aesthetically pleasing addition to your home.








We are proud of this project completed recently for South Pointe Builders in the Killearn neighborhood. Jonathan and his crew prepared the area, and constructed the deck, and All Custom Aluminum constructed the screened aluminum wall system utilizing our internally fastened design which eliminates unsightly clips and brackets. The result? A synergy of design and use of space which creates a large area which now is "interior" space at a low price. Thanks to Jonathan and South Pointe for once again choosing All Custom.

All Custom Aluminum has served the Tallahassee community since 1995, constructing hundreds of pool and screen enclosures, patio enclosures, pergolas, and specialty railing projects throughout North Florida. With over 17 years in business in Tallahassee, we have built a reputation for building the finest quality enclosures to be found anywhere, at a low price.

Tallahassee Area Pool Enclosure Specialists



All Custom Aluminum has recently completed a beautiful pool enclosure for the Hyatts, northwest of Tallahassee near Havanna. We utilized a mansard design in the roof area, and enclosed two lanai areas to create a screened patio and outdoor kitchen. Mr. Hyatt opted to add sets of our horizontal vinyl pane patio windows to the lanai wall sections to provide wind and rain protection. These custom made, lightweight patio windows integrate with existing screens, and are completely removable in minutes.

What Makes an Aluminum Screened Patio Better?

If you have ever taken notice of a screen room or patio which is constructed from wood components, you have probably seen the following: sagging, loose screen being blown by the wind between vertical posts spaced between 16" and 4' on center. Maybe you were lulled by the rythmic flappedy flap of the screens as they strained against their staples? We kid, but seriously, an aluminum patio enclosure has many advantages over wood framed installations, and the differences don't stop with the screens. First, aluminum is light but strong, and able to span greater distances than wood. Also aluminum will never warp or rot, two reasons many wood frame screen rooms show their age prematurely. Third, aluminum components are powder coated through an electrostatic process which creates a finish which lasts a lifetime, and requires very little maintenance. And as we stated, sagging, floppy screen will be a thing of the past with an aluminum patio enclosure. That is because modern aluminum extrustions come with a flat spline groove around the entire perimeter of your screened opening. This "flat" spline will not push or fall out of the groove, enabling your screens to stay tight for years to come. And the grooves mean that changing out one ripped screen is a simple, inexpensive propostion.

Quality Pool Enclosures in Tallahassee

All Custom Aluminum has recently completed a pool enclosure we are very proud of, for a few reasons. First of all, we are proud to have earned the trust of our customer, Ray Burroughs. Mr. Burroughs recently retired from a long and distinguished career at Leon County Growth Management, the last twenty years of which were spent as Director of Building Inspection. So to have earned his business was a definite compliment to All Custom Aluminum. But we are also proud of our ability to meet a unique challenge presented by this installation. It was determined during layout that the pool deck and outbuilding were not perpendicular with the host structure, making for a more challenging design. We were able to conform the mansard roof system to accommodate the trapeziodal configuration of the slab by adding in length to the horizontal divisions in even increments across the entire enclosure. Finally, we were able to recommend design options other companies didn't, like our 1.5# density composite roof system, and thus earn the business of one of the most well respected Regulators in the Industry. All Custom Aluminum has been constructing pool enclosures from our headquarters in Tallahassee for over 17 years. Call us for your free estimate, or call or email us with your plans for a complimentary consultation and immediate quote. We promise not to disrespect you with any price that is not our best bottom line, every time. While we always provide the best product, we often also have the lowest price, so check us out.

Vinyl Pane Patio Enclosure in Lakeshore Area of Tallahassee

All Custom Aluminum designs, sells, and installs, patio and screen enclosures, greenhouses, awnings, sunrooms, and a host of other outdoor living products. We are proud of our latest project in the Lakeshore neighborhood of Tallahassee, FL. The customers opted for the vertical 4 track style vinyl pane windows for a number of reasons. First, enclosing with vinyl pane windows does not create "habitable" space as far as the tax man is concerned. So your patio still remains a patio, technically, even though the windows insulate as well as single pane glass.

Moreover, the 4 track configuration allows 70% air flow when all the way open, compared to about 40% for traditional style windows. And, of coarse, vinyl pane widow sashes are all removable in minutes, a process which converts the room back to a screened area. Just store the sashes and reinstall them when needed. Whats more, because each vinyl pane window is manufactured for you, they can be made to mount into any existing screened porch or patio.

Screen Room Options

All Custom Aluminum has been constructing pool and screen enclosures, as well as a host of other outdoor living products, for over 17 years here in Tallahassee, North Florida, and the surrounding area. We bring expertise and attention to detail which is a cut above what you would expect, at a low price. When we see customers who are interested in screen rooms, we typically get alot of the same questions.
Our aluminum composite roof system draws the most questions, and understandably so, its not your conventional roof system. In fact, our Energy Star approved composite insulated aluminum roof system takes all the elements of a house ceiling, attic, and roof and sandwiches and compresses them down to mere inches. This enables installations otherwise impossible or cost ineffective utilizing conventional construction techniques.
At the center of it all, is the compressed polystyrene insulation. Although many companies sell and install the industry standard 1# density, All Custom Aluminum utilizes a composite panel with a full 50% more density per square foot. Its a difference you can feel, and see in the quality of the panels themselves. The core is covered with a contiuous sheet of embossed and finished aluminum top and bottom to create a load bearing, walkable composite capable of withstanding even hurricane force wind loads.
Aside from the roof system, be concerned about fabrication. All Custom Aluminum begins this process with our laser assisted layout, to assure accuracy and precision in our measurements. We then design and fabricate your job utilizing internal screw "bosses". These bosses, present in all aluminum cross member patio extrusions, are put there by the manufacturer to enable most of the connections to be hidden from view, making a cleaner, more produced job. This method of fabrication also has the benefit of producing stronger connections capable of spanning longer distances.
Be sure to review all your screen options. After all a screen room is all about the screen. All Custom Aluminum offers a myriad of choices in mesh size, shading coefficient, color, material, and visibility. Our newest addition to the line, Bettervue by Phifer, incorporates a smaller mesh with increased visibility and airflow, all while retaining top wind load and weathering test honors. It even has a "microban" additive incorporated into the formulation to resist mold and mildew growth. All in all, a hot seller.
