Boynton Beach spans from the barrier island at Ocean Ridge on the east to newer communities pushing toward the Everglades Agricultural Area on the west. That’s a lot of ground with very different home types, price points, and storm exposure profiles. What most of these homes have in common is that they were built in eras with very different wind resistance standards than what Florida requires today. Awning Stars installs hurricane screens throughout Boynton Beach. We’re an authorized dealer for Atlas Armor and Progressive Screens.
What Makes Boynton Beach Installations Specific
High concentration of 1980s and 1990s construction. A significant share of Boynton Beach’s single-family housing was built during South Florida’s growth boom before and shortly after Hurricane Andrew. Homes from this era often have aluminum-frame single-pane windows and sliding glass doors that have no real wind resistance. Hurricane screens are a practical and cost-effective upgrade for these properties.
Condos and townhomes near the coast. Boynton’s coastal areas have a dense concentration of condo and townhome developments. These projects often involve working with condo associations, shared building components, and permitting through the City of Boynton Beach. We handle the documentation and association coordination.
Larger western communities. Communities like Tuscany Bay, Journeys End, and Canyon Lakes in western Boynton have spacious lanais and outdoor living spaces. Motorized hurricane screens are popular in these communities for exactly that reason.
Installation and Permitting
Boynton Beach has its own municipal building department. We pull the permit, install, and close out the inspection. Call 561.909.8068 for a free Palm Beach County consultation.
Motorized Patio Screens for Everyday Use in Boynton Beach
Storm protection is only one reason Boynton Beach homeowners use motorized patio screens. With the appropriate screen fabric, the system can reduce glare, add privacy, keep insects out, and make a patio or lanai more comfortable while maintaining airflow and the outward view. The screen retracts when an open-air space is preferred.
Every opening is measured for the home rather than treated as a standard size. Because Boynton Beach has coastal storm exposure, the housing, tracks, hardware, and mounting method should be selected for the opening and local wind-load requirements. Awning Stars handles the permitting and installation requirements for the selected system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do hurricane screens meet code in Boynton Beach?
Yes. The fabric we install is Miami-Dade approved under NOA #21-0512.04 and is the only roll-down fabric approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Palm Beach County is not an HVHZ jurisdiction, so these screens meet a standard stricter than Boynton Beach requires, which is the level of protection you want when a storm turns.
Can I use them on non-storm days?
Yes. They filter about 88% of UV, cut energy costs, and keep insects, rodents, and most animals off the patio, so Boynton Beach homeowners run them year round and close them down only when a storm approaches.
What warranty comes with the screens?
A 10-year transferable warranty on the fabric and a 5-year warranty on the motor. The transferable coverage carries over if you sell the Boynton Beach home.
Do they work for HOA communities?
Yes. Many Boynton Beach communities have architectural guidelines, and the screens come in colors and finishes that fit HOA review. We handle permitting through the Boynton Beach building department.
Do I need a permit for hurricane screens in Boynton Beach?
Yes. Boynton Beach screens are permitted through the Boynton Beach building department to Palm Beach County wind-load requirements, and we pull and manage that permit as part of the install.
Why do Boynton Beach homes need hurricane screens?
Boynton Beach sits near the Palm Beach County coast with direct storm exposure, and screens protect large patio and lanai openings that are hard to cover any other way.
