Our family-owned business cares about you and your enjoyment, and that’s why we make it our mission to provide you with the most affordable and beautiful sunrooms and pool enclosures possible. To provide you with the full package for your home addition, aside from sunrooms, we also offer window replacements and the replacement of faulty pool cage gutters installed by other companies.

Tropicana started the new Pool cage on Friday 10/30/2015 and finished the entire job and clean up on 11/3/2015.
The guys were awesome!! I would recommend Tropicana Screen & Glass every time!! From the first visit to do the est. which I received within 24 hours! A GREAT Company to do business with!!!
Thank you very much Tropicana Screens
Price: Their price was higher than 2 other quotes and lower than 1. I chose them because of the commitment and information Patrick provided me where the others simply came by, quoted, and provided no perspective.
The cost of laying the concrete was more than twice the price of competitors. I should have coordinated this on my own rather than contract it out to Tropicana. Their price minus permits was over $11/sq ft. I received quotes for other similar work from numerous people between $4.50/sq. ft. to $6/sq ft.
Quality: The material quality was great. The quality of installation was fair. Work took longer than promised.
Responsiveness: Patrick was quick to respond and address my concerns.
Punctuality: We usually received a call the day before they were coming. They always called when they could not make it out.
Professionalism: Patrick is very professional. I am not confident in their subcontract labor. I would purchase their materials again and would supervise their installation from the beginning to end.
Other: Clean up after rescreening was nonexistent and we had to do it ourselves. Clean up after the expansion was fair. There were still many chards, screws, and screening materials throughout the yard. Some 'texturing" material for the concrete was sprayed on fencing and not cleaned up even after they promised to do so.
I had to hire and pay for additional work I expected to be included since it was discussed during the original quote: The concrete needed "texture" to match the other concrete on the pool patio. I am not sure why this wasn't included since Patrick told me he would make sure his concrete guy did texturing during the quoting process. That is why I agreed to such a high concrete laying price. But Patrick told me after the fact that they don't quote on texturing. This makes no sense since the appearance on non textured concrete next to textured would look horrible. I ultimately had to pay the installer extra to do the texturing.
I also had to hire and obtain permits for electricity to run ceiling fans. This was a challenge since I had to coordinate having the electrician there at the right time when the installation timing was constantly changing. To make matters worse, we were traveling while trying to coordinate this.
I get frustrated with ratings for companies giving them "A's." An "A" to me means they exceeded my expectations and were virtually flawless in their work. A "B" to me means they did what the promised - good work.
I recommend obtaining materials from Tropicana but contracting the labor and other services yourself. Or, be there to supervise their labor throughout the process to assure things are done as promised. Think of every detail and be sure it is included in their quote.
They designed the new room configuration base on my request. They removed the existing screens and structure. They put in base wall panels and supports. Put in sliding insulated windows. They added a big glass door entrance. They calked and sealed everything and that was it. Everything went smoothly.
All in all, great company to work with and I'm glad we chose them.
Our sunroom was built over 2 years ago, and Tropicana continues to provide superior service as needs arise, even to this day (I contacted them recently to put-in a wall A/C unit). The management of the company is doing something right, and you get a sense of that no matter who you speak to- from receptionist to the owner, to the installers.
