Mondays have become a busy day at Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, since the company increased its marketing presence in Fort Lauderdale with the use of a custom-designed sales center in the Fort Lauderdale and North Lauderdale Home Depots. Mondays are when Venetian returns calls to the mountain of referrals it has received through its increased marketing efforts, including its presence in 41 Home Depot stores.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/30/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, which designs and installs sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures throughout South Florida, has increased its marketing efforts successfully in Fort Lauderdale and nearby, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

Venetian has added staff to respond to the influx of leads generated by its sales displays in the Fort Lauderdale and North Lauderdale Home Depots, and in 39 other South Florida stores in the chain. Venetian also has added crews and plans a bigger warehouse and fabrication center to meet the increased demand.

An expanded effort each Monday to respond to the increased sales leads has made the first day of the workweek busy and rewarding, Noe said.

"We try to expose potential customers to real examples of the aluminum-frame construction we do," Noe said. "Our retail displays help us do that. When homeowners want to see what goes into a Fort Lauderdale sunroom or patio enclosure, we give them a pretty good idea of what to expect.

"After homeowners contact us through Home Depot or directly for an in-home consultation, we show them even more detailed samples of design elements and materials, right at the curb."

The see-what-you-get approach appears to be working. So far in 2013, Venetian residential sales are up more than 150 percent across its South Florida markets compared with 2012. That comes on the heels of an 85 percent increase in Venetian residential business in 2012 over the previous year.

Noe emphasized that Venetian avoids a cookie-cutter philosophy in favor of custom design. "We design each project specifically for a customer depending on lifestyle needs, budget, home and neighborhood," Noe said.

The quality screen enclosure and sunroom installer serves all of Fort Lauderdale, including Sea Ranch Lakes, Coral Ridge, Palm Aire, Sunrise, Lauderdale Isles, Victoria Park and Riverland Village. It also serves homeowners in Fort Lauderdale suburbs, including Oakland Park, Cooper City, Dania Beach, Plantation, Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes.

"One size doesn't fit all where home additions are concerned, whether they are a solarium or a patio cover or pool enclosure," Noe said. "Neither does one style. Not only do individual tastes differ among customers, but so do neighborhood standards." Venetian builds in a wide range of styles and prices, and it builds not just to meet the tough Florida Building Code, but to surpass it.

Venetian has experts who deal with permitting officials and homeowners associations. "That saves homeowners time and money," Noe said. "People get into their new rooms sooner than they think possible."

Estimates are free, detailed and written.

Homeowners looking to have a sunroom installed should consider acrylic windows to gain some advantages over standard glass, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, which designs and installs sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures in South Florida. Custom-fit acrylic windows resist impact, cost less than impact-rated glass, open to screening and reduce the likelihood of storm damage because they are easily removed, Noe says.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/19/2013 -- Homeowners considering a sunroom addition can gain advantages by choosing removable, operating acrylic windows, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami.

Venetian Builders designs and installs aluminum sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures in West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys and communities in between.

"Homeowners who hire us choose all kinds of windows for their sunrooms," Noe said. "Many pick glass, and many of them go for impact glass, which is the premium choice."

But that doesn't mean there aren't alternatives that can actually afford some advantages that glass doesn't, Noe said.

"We're seeing homeowners opt increasingly for acrylic windows," he said. "Like the glass windows, units with acrylic panes are aluminum-framed. At Venetian, as the sunroom installer, we custom-frame them to fit individual projects. They also can be tinted to reduce heat and sunlight."

Noe makes these recommendations based on the reasons customers give for choosing acrylic windows:

Custom fit. "If you want windows to totally fill the openings in the sunroom walls, acrylic is an affordable solution," Noe said. "At Venetian Builders we custom-fabricate acrylic windows in our warehouse. The result is a highly custom look without the custom cost."

Impact resistance. "Although they are not code-rated for impact, acrylic windows do have some resistance to shattering," Noe said. "That's a safety factor that a lot of folks say they like."

Ventilation. "Acrylic windows slide open to expose the room to screening," Noe said. "The ventilation is a real plus on days that air conditioning isn't needed, reducing electric bills."

Storm resistance. "It's recommended that acrylic windows be removed before storms with winds projected at 75 miles per hour or higher," Noe said. "It's easy to do. Open the window slightly, grip the two sides and lift. The window pulls right out of the frame." That lets high winds that otherwise would be exerting force against the structure blow through it, reducing the likelihood of storm damage, Noe said. "Once the storm has passed, just reverse the process and your windows are back in."

Other savings. "The Florida Building Code rates acrylic windows as screens," Noe said. 'That means the space they're in is classified as non-permanent space, and property tax assessments can be lower than for permanent living space."

Venetian Builders installs solariums, patio covers, pergolas and lattice, and screen enclosures throughout South Florida, including Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood and Boynton Beach.

Estimates are free, written and detailed. A no-cost at-home consultation includes a look at life-size examples of doors, windows, roof and wall panels, and framing options.

Design and installation of a 540-square-foot sunroom on a home in Homestead, Fla., is under contract to Venetian Builders, Inc., company President Christopher Noe said today. The $45,000 addition, which will have acrylic windows, screening, interior wall finish and heavy-duty insulated roofing panels, will cost about half of what a similar-sized project would if built by traditional methods, Noe said.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/18/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, is under contract to build a 540-square-foot aluminum sunroom addition off a house in Homestead, Fla., Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

"The quality and size of this aluminum sunroom addition illustrate just how effective the aluminum-framing option is for high-end and large-scale projects," Noe said.

Venetian builds aluminum sunrooms, screen enclosures and patio covers, including pergola and lattice, in Homestead, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys and throughout South Florida.

The sunroom will be built off a two-story home. It will extend 18 feet from the home and stretch 30 feet along the rear wall.

The concrete floor will be finished with ceramic tile.

Walls will have white, 3-inch-thick insulated aluminum panels and custom-made acrylic windows. Finished interior walls will get electrical outlets.

"The windows are a key element in this design," Noe said. Venetian, as the sunroom designer and installer, custom-fabricates the aluminum-framed windows to fit each project that uses them. "That makes for a great fit and optimum size," Noe said. "The quarter-inch-thick glazing will be resistant to the ultra-violet rays in sunlight."

The windows will slide open to expose exterior screens, giving the homeowners a choice between using the ventilation system or taking advantage of the breeze. 'That reduces electricity bills," Noe said.

The windows, in addition to having some impact resistance, can be removed easily for extra protection against damage during the occasional severe storm.

"If winds above 75 miles per hour are forecast, just lift the windows out and store them until the storm passes," Noe said, "then slip them back in." That reduces stress on the structure from high winds, Noe said. Removal also aids cleaning, he added.

Because the span from the original house to the exterior wall is longer than usual, the insulated roof panels will be 6 inches thick, double the typical thickness. Aluminum exterior and interior covers on the roof panels will sandwich high-density, 2-pounds-per-square-foot foam.

Ceiling panels also will support three fans with lights. The roofing system is ordered with the wiring and fan mounts included at the factory.

"We designed this so it can be used as a family room and a storage area for the children's playthings," Noe said. "It's a spacious room, and there's plenty of room for both child and adult activity. A pool table would fit easily."

The best part, Noe said, is that the square footage is achieved at about half the cost of traditional block construction. "This is space that a family can enjoy day or night, year-round," Noe said, "and at a price that's affordable."

Venetian Builders offers free, written, detailed estimates on solariums, screening, patio covers and pool enclosures in all South Florida markets, including Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Davie, Weston, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Tamarac and Cutler Bay.

Customers of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, for the first time have a choice of pergola and lattice products from Metals USA when having Venetian design and install their sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today. The products, which include wood-look framing made of low-maintenance, corrosion-resistant aluminum, add new shading options and styles to the wide range of custom designs already offered to South Florida homeowners.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, has begun to offer aluminum pergolas and lattice to customers who wish to add shade to open-air patios and a different look to the roofs of sunrooms and patio covers, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

The pergolas and lattice also can be used with screen enclosures to offer poolside shade and privacy, Noe said.

Venetian Builders custom-designs and installs aluminum sunroom additions and other structures in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys and communities in between. Its top markets include Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood and Boynton Beach.

"We're expanding all the time," Noe said, "not just in new geographical markets in South Florida, but also in the design options we offer to homeowners."

Pergolas and lattice for poolside and patio shade are the latest examples of new product offerings, Noe said.

"The Metals USA pergola and lattice we use give homeowners a wood look, but they don't include the wood work," Noe said. "Like all properly finished aluminum framing, they are corrosion-resistant. They don't deteriorate, as wood can do over the years. Other than a simple, occasional cleaning, they require no maintenance."

Pergolas can be freestanding over an open patio or deck, or they can be built over a screened enclosure and screened as well, providing shade and protection from insects, but maintaining natural ventilation.

The ends of the pergola beams are scalloped, just as wood framing members would be, said the president of the fast-growing sunroom and screen enclosure installer. Pergolas also can be ordered with a simulated wood grain embossed into the aluminum, giving an even more natural look, like painted wood.

Pergola edging along a roof over a sunroom or patio enclosure adds a different look and provides extra shade, Noe said.

Lattice, installed vertically, shades a patio, deck or poolside. It provides privacy while maintaining ventilation. It looks like new painted lattice made of cross-hatched wood slats. But unlike the wood, it stays new-looking.

"Only homeowners know what styles will suit their needs, their neighborhood and their budgets," Noe said. "Because we custom-design everything we build, we ensure that all those needs are met. Aluminum pergolas and lattice are just two more options to help us do that."

Venetian Builders offers no-obligation, no-cost in-home consultations. It brings a detailed, life-size example of design options, right down to working windows and doors, to customer's homes. Free estimates are detailed and written.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2013 -- When a Davie homeowner needed to convert his home office back into a bedroom for one of his children, he decided to expand his home to add office space. He chose a sunroom from Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, which designed it and installed it to meet his needs.

Venetian Builders custom-designs and installs sunrooms, patio covers and screen pool enclosures in Davie, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the keys and towns in between, including Jupiter, Homestead, Palm Beach Gardens and Miramar.

The Davie sunroom was an economical way to gain space, said Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders.

"For the same number of square feet, an aluminum addition can be built faster and at a lower cost than a room constructed by traditional methods," Noe said. "Part of the savings is the lower cost of materials and labor, and part is the faster permitting and inspection processes."

Function was built in because Venetian Builders custom-designs each room it installs with its planned use in mind, Noe said.

The Davie home office is a 14-by-26-foot sunroom addition with accommodations made to handle its special duties.

The roof system is made of 3-inch insulated panels topped with roll roofing that has an exterior granule layer. The roof ledge extends a foot beyond the wall, providing some shade and slightly reducing interior sunlight.

Walls also are 3-inch insulated panels. Windows slide horizontally to expose built-in screens for fresh-air ventilation.

Both ceiling and wall panels came from the factory with conduit carrying electrical cable. The ceiling electrical lines power fans. The electrical lines in the wall panels power outlets.

"We put in extra outlets because it's an office," Noe said. "That's to be sure the homeowner can easily plug in all of his computers and other equipment."

Wall panels also carry Category 5 wiring to accommodate a Local Area Network, or LAN. "Cat 5 makes sure he can choose multiple locations for his computers and for his printer," Noe said.

Although a house exterior wall that is newly enclosed can be covered with drywall, Noe said, the homeowner kept the wall as it was to lower costs. The double doors from the house also remain and help to make the office quiet by blocking out sounds from the living area.

The wall of the sunroom that faces a property line with no view is mostly insulated panels with small fixed windows only along the top. "This allows some light, but not too much, into the office," Noe said. "It also saves money, since the view was negligible anyway." The homeowner planned to add interior shades to further reduce sunlight.

To the sunroom, Venetian added a screened patio enclosure for family use.
Venetian Builders offers no-cost, no-obligation in-home consultations on needs for a solarium, patio cover or screened enclosure. Detailed, written estimates are free.

Sunrooms and insulated patio enclosures can function as year-round living space, but to get the most out of the space, homeowners should plan for complete convenience, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc. The Miami-based company installs custom-designed sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures throughout South Florida.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/12/2013 -- Homeowners who consider expanding their living space with aluminum-framed sunrooms or insulated patio enclosures should plan for wiring to make their new rooms as completely functional as possible for day/night, year-round use, said Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami.

Venetian Builders designs and installs aluminum solariums, patio covers and screen pool enclosures in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys and communities in between, including Davie, Miramar, Weston and Homestead.

"There's no reason that aluminum-framed additions can't function as year-round living space," Noe said. "It does pay to have foresight about possible uses when you order your room."

Insulation is the main ingredient to providing year-round use, Noe said. "Roof panels must be insulated, and so must wall panels," Noe said. "Windows should be double-pane."

Insulated panels keep the hottest temperatures of summer out and climate-controlled air inside, Noe said.

Less obvious, but no less important, is the need for proper wiring, Noe said.

"Wiring is the key to day/night use, and to broadening the functions that your rooms can serve," Noe said.

Noe provides wiring tips concerning the following functions in an aluminum sunroom or other aluminum-framed addition:

Fans. "Ceiling fans are probably the most prevalent reason to tap ceiling-embedded power lines," Noe said. Insulated roof panels with electrical cable for both sunrooms and patio rooms must be ordered that way from the factory. "That makes up-front planning important," Noe said.

HDTV. "Televisions can be used the traditional way – placed on a table and plugged into a wall outlet – or they can be ceiling-mounted," Noe said. "We're seeing more ceiling mounts of TVs and speakers, sometimes from ridge beams that support gabled roofs, and sometimes from 3-inch panels." The panels would also carry wiring for a TV signal and sound. Having adequate wall outlets requires ordering insulated wall panels that, just like ceiling panels, are equipped with electrical cable at the factory. "You want to make sure you have enough outlets for the uses you have planned," Noe said.

Lighting. "Most fans have lights," Noe said. "Having the fans and lights switched at a wall makes sense for most people. Remote controls also are useful." Again, Noe said, having adequate wall outlets for desk lamps and table lamps is essential to making the space convenient.

Computers. "Computers, game consoles, monitors, chargers – all these things require outlets," Noe emphasized. "Don't short yourself on outlets, or on the number of walls that have them. If you're going to use your addition as a home office, consider ordering panels with Category 5 wiring, too." Cat 5, as it is typically called, carries computer data for local area networks, or LANs. "Wireless, or Wi-fi, signals are convenient, but for business use, Cat 5 network wiring is faster and more reliable," Noe said.

Venetian Builders offers in-home consultations on planning all aspects of aluminum additions. Estimates are written, detailed and free.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/08/2013 -- Homeowners who expand their homes with aluminum sunroom additions need to understand options in ceiling finishes that can change the look and character of their room, said Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami.

Venetian Builders is a rapidly growing custom-designer and installer of sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures for pools and patios. It serves West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys and surrounding communities.

"The roofs on sunroom additions are insulated structural panels," Noe said. "They have aluminum sheeting that sandwiches a core of foam insulation."

The interior surface of a panel is typically embossed with a pebble finish and painted at the factory. "It's an attractive offering just as it's installed," Noe said. "Seams are minimal, and the finish is of a high quality. But your color choices will be limited."

Homeowners can have the finish on a 4 season room ceiling changed to suit their tastes and needs, Noe said.

He offers these ceiling finish tips to potential buyers, and to people with existing sunrooms:

Paint. "A panel can be painted any color," Noe said. "If you want to match the look of your existing home, this is the most economical way to do it. Apply identical color and sheen for the best results."

Wood-grain embossing. "An embossed wood grain offers a more rustic, more natural look," Noe said. "The graining will catch light from the windows, and in solariums, of course, light is always plentiful."

False ceiling. "A false ceiling can be applied below the actual roof panel," Noe said. "This is a great way to disguise ventilation ducts." It will reduce ceiling volume, Noe warned, which some people like and some don't.

Accessory-ready. "Panels can be ordered to include wiring for electricity and anchoring points for accessories," Noe said. "Many homeowners like to have fans and lights suspended from their panels. These days some people are choosing to suspend high-fidelity speakers for surround sound and music, and big-screen high-definition televisions."

Hardwood. "Probably nothing adds character to a sunroom more than a wood ceiling finish," Noe said. "It takes preparation, with furring strips attached to the ceiling panels, then the hardwood flooring strips glued and nailed into the strips. Your choice of stains is vast." Noe warns to avoid laminate flooring strips. "Stick with solid hardwood," Noe said, "because it's more resistant to warping."

Venetian Builders offers no-cost, no-obligation in-home consultations. Its detailed, written estimates are free.

More homeowners in West Palm Beach and nearby communities have been screening in front entryways and adding decorative aluminum screen doors, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Noe finds the trend especially popular among retirees in the area.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2013 -- Homeowners increasingly are enclosing entry spaces with screen and adding decorative aluminum screen doors at the front of their homes, said Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami.

"The trend has been especially popular in West Palm Beach and some nearby communities, particularly among retirees," Noe said.

"We've been selling more front entry screening over the past six months," Noe said. It's during that time that Venetian Builders, which maintains offices in metropolitan Miami and Oakland Park, Broward County, has expanded its presence in Palm Beach County.

In 2012, top markets for Venetian included Miami, Stuart, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, Boynton Beach and the Keys. West Palm Beach and its suburbs are relatively new markets for Venetian, Noe said.

Venetian has been expanding northward for two years. Broward County surpassed Miami-Dade last year in sales for the first time.

"As we enter these northern markets, many communities have a larger number of retirees than we see farther south," Noe said. "They've made West Palm Beach screen enclosures at front entries popular."

Venetian installs PCA Products aluminum front entry doors.

The firm, which installs aluminum sunrooms, screen enclosures for decks and pools, and patio rooms, dresses up front entries, Noe said.

"Normally, on an aluminum door, three hinges do the job," Noe said. "But out front, we're using piano hinges almost exclusively. They maintain the door's accurate fit longer than individual hinges do, and they look neater."

Piano hinges run the entire length of the door, and yet they're more subtle in appearance. The doors have channels to accept the longer, sturdier hinges.

"Door designs allow homeowners to express themselves through their entries," Noe said. "Nature lovers, for example, can choose images of flamingoes or palm trees that are cast into the aluminum trim. For golfers, there's a player following through on his drive. People can have a bit of fun with these doors."

More conservative designs are cast in provincial, French provincial, rosette, Ivy League, contemporary and American country styles.

Double doors also have been a frequent choice.

"French-style doors ¬already had been growing more popular to the rear of homes on patio enclosures and sun rooms, and now they're moving out front to entries," Noe said.

Some designs are made especially for two-door treatments, with metal work that rises from the base, then arcs away from the hinged edge toward the opening edge of each door. The designs meet where the door edges do, making a singular, sweeping pattern. "Many homeowners find the metalwork graceful and quite eye-catching," Noe said.

Written estimates are detailed and free, Noe said.

A partnership with 39 retail home centers in South Florida has led to a 150 percent increase in sales of sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures in South Florida over the past six months, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Many of the sales were generated by retail displays in stores in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, and in the Florida Keys, Noe said.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., a Miami-based installer of sunrooms, patio covers and pool enclosures, is in its second straight year of rapid expansion, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

Venetian is experiencing a 150 percent increase in residential sales so far in 2013 over the previous year, Noe said. In 2012, the company's residential sales had soared 86 percent.

Noe attributes the exploding 2013 growth to its tie-in with 39 retail home centers in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, as well as in the Florida Keys, Noe said.

Venetian's top markets in 2012 included Miami, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Miramar, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Boynton Beach, Hollywood and Boca Raton. Broward became its top county last year, Noe said. "This year, so far, our sales are way up in the West Palm Beach area," he said.

"Venetian Builders already was crafting a reputation for quality and attention to customer needs," Noe said. "We custom design every project, no matter the budget, and homeowners have come to like knowing just what they'll get from our detailed written estimates."

Custom design means the company doesn't try to pass off the ideal West Palm Beach sunroom as the perfect Miami sunroom, Noe said. "We respect neighborhood appearance, individual home design and the buyer's budget," he said. "Homeowners appreciate that."

Retail displays have allowed potential customers to see and feel design and material choices. Homeowners who call for free estimates see those choices again, right at their door, before they decide to buy. "The retail connection also has helped many customers get store financing, making it easier to go ahead with the work or to afford the design details they want," Noe said.

Venetian's estimates always have helped spur sales, Noe said.

"Estimates that are written and detailed assure our customers that they will get what they expect," Noe said. "It keeps them happy, and we have no doubt that's one reason for our growth. Word gets around."

Not as many builders are offering aluminum sunroom additions as used to, Noe said. "Many give up on offering sunrooms because of the permitting issues," Noe said. "We are experts at dealing with municipal permitting and with homeowners associations. That saves us time and helps us install a sunroom, patio cover or screen enclosure in less time than it would take builders using traditional construction methods, or even others using aluminum frames. Our customers are surprised at how quickly we can make it happen while maintaining the quality we're known for."

Homeowners who add space to their homes sometimes shy away from economical aluminum sunroom additions because they mistakenly think the addition will look tacked on and not match their home’s interior, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Sunroom interiors can be made to match the interior of any house, Noe says, if homeowners understand important but simple interior design keys.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2013 -- Homeowners who expand their floor space with aluminum sunroom additions can avoid the "tacked on" look and make their sunroom interior match or blend well with that of the home they are expanding, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami.

"There's no reason a sunroom can't look like part of the home, and not an extension, even from inside," Noe said. His company designs and installs hundreds of sun rooms yearly in Martin, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, and in the Florida Keys.

"Budget is always a key," Noe conceded. "Homeowners who install sunrooms typically have a greater budget than those who opt for patio enclosures or screen enclosures and plan for more style." Noe's company installs all three types of projects.

"Inside your home, certain things give the home its character," Noe said. "They include windows; moldings, such as baseboard and window surrounds; doors; wall and ceiling surfaces; and floor coverings."

He offers these tips for making them all work in a solarium:

Windows: "Match proportion and style, not size" Noe said. "If your home has noticeably vertical windows, have the same installed in your Florida room. If your windows have individual panes, go with panes; if they are casement style or sliders, try to match the look."

Wall surfaces: "Have drywall installed over aluminum and insulated panels, if that's what you have in the rest of your home," Noe said. "It's especially important to cover what had been the exterior wall with interior finishes. You can paper sunroom walls, too – or maybe just one accent wall. Sound-absorbent wallpaper lessens echoes from a piano or home theater."

Ceilings: "A volume ceiling is typical in a sun room," Noe said. "Volume ceilings have been popular all over the country since the 1980s. They make people feel less closed-in. Of course, you can match color with the rest if your house if you simply paint. But this may be the one place to be daring: Accent the ceiling with hardwood."

Moldings: "Make baseboards, sills and window surrounds match what are in your original home," Noe said. "Venetian Builders has finish carpenters on staff who can duplicate any look. Match paint or stain, too."

Doors: "Specify doors in the same style as in the main part of the home," Noe said. "You'll probably have the French doors that led to your deck removed so you can walk unimpeded into your sunroom. Transplant those doors, or use something similar, to lead outdoors from the sunroom."

Floors: "Ask the contractor to match not just ceramic tiles, but also the grout," Noe said. "At least get something similar in shape, size and color. You might want to consider flooring other than tile if the room is intended for music or a home theater. Carpet, at least area rugs on the tile, prevents echoes."

Decor: "This will be entirely up to you, of course, and not your contractor," Noe said. "Apply the same taste and style as in the rest if your home with furniture, curtains and accessories. They go a long way in tying it all together."

Venetian Builders installs sunrooms, patio covers and screen pool enclosures in Stuart, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami, the Keys and all communities in between.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., customers who want skylights in their new sunrooms but worry that the units will not meet building regulations can now have Venetian include Metals USA IllumaView skylights, which comply with the tough Florida Building Code, Venetian President Christopher Noe announced today. The oversized skylights are part of a roofing system that is designed to stand up to high winds and avoid the leaks common with traditional designs, Noe said.

Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, the leading installer of custom design solariums, patio rooms and screen enclosures in South Florida, has added giant IllumaView skylight panels to its array of sunroom options, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

IllumaView skylights, unlike traditional, smaller skylight products, satisfy the tough Florida Building Code, Noe said. They are designed to stand up to high winds and tropical rainstorms.

"IllumaView units make sunrooms extra bright because they can be ordered to run the length of a roof," Noe said. IllumaView skylights, which are manufactured by Metals USA, are 2 feet wide. On a gabled roof, a skylight can be ordered to extend from the ridge to the edge of the roof, and a skylight unit can be installed on each side of the ridge. "That introduces a lot of light for people who like a bright room," he said.

"We expect these to be a popular option for Miami sunrooms," Noe said.

"The skylight panels are double-pane, with polycarbonate surfaces on the top and bottom," Noe said. "The air pocket between the panes provides insulation, making the skylights ideal for Florida despite the heat." The panels also are reflective, helping them to minimize heat buildup from sunlight, Noe said.

The advantage of IllumaView is that the skylights are made to fit the insulated roof panels that surround them, Noe said. "IllumaView is part of a factory-designed roofing system," Noe explained. "It's that tight factory fit that makes the skylight panels resist wind-driven rain. Their inclusion in a custom-ordered roof results in an integral, strong roofing unit, the reason IllumaView skylights are hurricane rated."

IllumaView skylights are a fixed design – that is, they do not open.

Venetian Builders is making IllumaView skylights available to customers in its entire service area. Venetian installs sun rooms, patio covers and pool enclosures in Martin, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, and in the Florida Keys.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2013 -- Customers of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, the leading installer of custom design sun rooms, patio covers and screen enclosures in South Florida, have been choosing more upscale options over the past six months, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

Noe said an increase in retail-sourced customers is one reason for the change. "Our retail customers have access to financing that makes high-end choices a bit more attainable," Noe said.

Since early 2012, Venetian Builders has sold its aluminum addition design and installation services through an increasing number of retail home centers in Monroe, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. It also continues to sell directly to consumers.

"We are serving customers of almost 40 retail home centers," Noe said. "Our retail partners help finance the finishing touches that make a Florida room or patio enclosure special."

Noe said these options have increased in popularity:

Gable roofs. "A roof with a steeper pitch does more than just look prettier on a sunroom," Noe said. "It adds volume inside, and that translates to more comfort. It's been a popular option in West Palm Beach and Wellington."

Thicker windows. "Impact glass and acrylic windows are getting included more often," Noe said. "Both are more resistant to breakage and give homeowners peace of mind. Miami homeowners like these."

Insulation. "Insulated panels not only help to keep a room cool in hot months and cozy in cold months, but they also help to keep out unwanted noise," Noe said. "Demand for insulated panels has increased on Davie sunrooms and in other Broward locations."

Interior finishes. "More homeowners want us to make their additions match the look of their home, not just outside, but inside too," Noe said. "We can do that with optional floor, wall and ceiling treatments. Upscale interior options are popular in Davie, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach."

Venetian estimates on solariums, pool enclosures and patio rooms are free, detailed and written in Stuart, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, the Keys and all communities in between.

Florida City Homeowners looking to add affordable living space have economical options from Venetian Builders after the company’s expansion into the small Miami-Dade city, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today. The small ranches and bungalows in the city of 11,500, which sit on sizable lots, would benefit from sun room additions or patio enclosures, Noe said.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, the leading builder of custom-design sunrooms and screen enclosures in South Florida, has expanded into Florida City, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

Florida City is a haven for affordable living in South Florida," Noe said. "Its ranch homes and bungalows are small by today's standards, and the needs of growing families strain available space in many of these structures."

Building a Florida City screen enclosure, patio cover or sunroom can solve the problem affordably, Noe said, without a sacrifice in quality.

Venetian Builders is expanding into many additional areas of South Florida, Noe said. He said top markets for the builder cover a wide range of communities, including Miami, Stuart, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, Boynton Beach and the Keys.

"We custom design all of our projects to fit each homeowner's needs and budget," Noe said. "There's no extra charge for that. Even a modest sunroom addition on a small home gets the attention to detail that makes the project right for that house and right for that family."

Venetian Builders installs cleverly designed, carefully crafted aluminum-frame additions. "Aluminum additions take less time to permit and less time to build," Noe said. "That saves money, compared with traditional building methods."

Communities as far south as Florida City benefit from proper screening on patio or pool enclosures, Noe said, to keep the tiny and bothersome NoSeeums at bay. "Our services have been in ever-increasing demand in neighboring Homestead," Noe said, "and one reason for that is our ability to ward off those tiny, stinging midges. Outdoor life becomes so much easier when a patio or deck is screened against NoSeeums."

Turning NoSeeums into JustForgettems takes not just screening, but the right kind, Noe said. A finer mesh will do the job against the tiniest pests but still let in ample light, he said.

Estimates are free, detailed and written. Customers make design and materials choices from a wide array of life-size samples brought right to their door before they contract for work.

Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, the leading installer of custom-design sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures in South Florida, is expanding its installation business into Hialeah Gardens in Miami-Dade County, Venetian President Christopher Noe said. The smaller homes of Hialeah Gardens will benefit from affordable square footage offered by Venetian sunrooms and patio enclosures, and from patio roofs and carport roofs, Noe said.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2013 -- The diminutive homes of Hialeah Gardens will benefit from the affordable square footage that Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, is now offering homeowners there through sunroom additions, patio covers and screen enclosures, Venetian President Christopher Noe said in announcing the company's expansion into the city of 22,000.

"Venetian Builders custom-designs every project, including its most economical sunroooms and patio covers, so they always meet codes, permitting and customer needs," Noe said.

Hialeah Gardens is a working-class community of smaller homes, many of those homes challenged to supply the living space growing families need, Noe said.

"Hialeah Gardens lots are small, but Venetian Builders is experienced in the permitting process for all-sized lots," Noe said. "Our experience helps us install an addition economically and efficiently, with as little time as possible between ordering and occupancy," Noe said.

"A Hialeah Gardens screen room or patio room, because of the demands that arise from small lots, takes exacting work, and we know how to get the job done professionally, with the homeowner's best interests in mind," Noe said.

Homes in Hialeah Gardens lack garages, Noe noted. "For homes where a carport is possible, Venetian Builders can meet homeowners' needs with extra-strong framing that doesn't look much different from the framing they may see on neighbors' homes, but with better wind resistance and better durability," Noe said.

Solariums and patio rooms provide much-needed living space even in compact areas, Noe said, and on compact budgets. "Our estimators are trained to work with all homeowners to meet their budgets and build a patio or sunroom addition that meets their needs," Noe said. "Estimates are free, written and detailed."

Venetian Builders installs sunrooms, patio enclosures and screen pool enclosures not only in Hialeah Gardens but also in Miami, Stuart, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, Boynton Beach, the Keys and communities in between.

Homeowners adding to their homes can easily include accessibility features when they expand their homes, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Certain features in entryways, doors, door handles and surfaces can make a home more functional not just for people with disabilities, but also for people who are not limited in movement, he advises.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2013 -- A doorknob is the kind of thing a homeowner may never think about twice. And then arthritis sets in. Or someone tries to get in the house with a bag of groceries in each arm. Or a young parent is toting a baby in one arm and baby supplies in the other while trying to open the door.

Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., the leading installer of custom-design sunrooms, patio enclosures and pool enclosures in South Florida, said accessibility features intended primarily to help people with disabilities make life easier in all those cases.

"In Florida, accessibility is never a deterrent in the marketplace," Noe said.

According to census.gov, 17.6 percent of the Florida population is age 65 or older. That's almost a third higher than the percentage across the United States.

"Features that make a home easier to use and that don't look out of place will make a home more desirable," Noe said.

Noe offered tips on making a solarium or screen enclosure more accessible for everyone:

Door hardware: "Make doors as easy to open as possible," Noe suggested. "A handle is easier than a knob to use, not just by a person with a disability, but also by that young mother or someone else whose hands are full." Trying to unlock a door also can be difficult. "Consider keyless locking," Noe said. "It works just like the automatic locks on a car – with the push of a button on a fob. It's totally secure."

Door entryways: "A good builder will know how to smooth the transition from outside to indoors," Noe said. The flat entryway from a deck or walk into a patio room or sunroom addition promotes accessibility, Noe said. "Sunroom additions and patio rooms make great areas for people with disabilities to enter or exit a home," Noe said. A ramp with handrails from an addition to the main house enhances safety for everyone, Noe added.

Door widths: "We're selling more wide doors on sun rooms and patio rooms, and more double doors, because they're easy to use," Noe said. Wide doors make an entry more accessible not just to someone in a wheelchair or on a scooter, but also to someone pushing a gas grill or carrying pool toys, Noe said.

Surfaces: "Carpeting should be low pile," Noe suggested. "Uncarpeted areas should be covered with nonskid materials, available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Nonslip surfaces are especially useful in transitional areas off pool enclosures, where kids are always running around, sometimes with wet feet."

Venetian Builders serves West Palm Beach, Miami, Fort Lauderdale Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, Boynton Beach, the Keys and all surrounding communities. Detailed estimates are free.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, has expanded the sale and installation of custom-designed sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures into Sunrise, a city of 85,000 and Fort Lauderdale suburb in Broward County.

Building the best Sunrise sunroom or screen enclosure is a logical step for Venetian, which grew its Broward County business 132 percent during 2012, Noe said. Venetian, which maintains its original office in metropolitan Miami, also has a warehouse and fabrication facility in Oakland Park, Broward County, where it has begun work on a second office.

"Venetian Builders already does significant business in nearby communities, including Davie, Cooper City, Plantation, Pembroke and Pinecrest," Noe said.

"Sunrise is one of those solid working-class cities that dot South Florida," Noe said.
The city has street after street of well-maintained houses, many of them ranch homes built decades ago. "Many of the newer properties are multi-family, but the city still has a homeownership rate that's about 10 points above the state average," Noe said, citing statistics from cenus.gov.

What Sunrise homes don't have is ample space, Noe said. "In past years, quite a few Sunrise homeowners sacrificed a garage for more living space," Noe said. "With proper design – and we custom-design every aluminum addition we install – sunroom and patio room living space can be added without homeowners having to give up their garage, which is probably their main storage area. Of course, when you are designing an addition, storage space can be part of the new structure, too."

Custom designs are part of Venetian's service to its customers. "Individual designs never cost extra at Venetian Builders," Noe said. Venetian estimates, which are detailed and written, are always free.

Venetian Builders designs and installs its carefully engineered sunrooms, affordable patio enclosures and hurricane-resistant screen pool enclosures not just to meet the tough Florida Building Code, but to exceed it, Noe said. "We have experience meeting the toughest code requirements in high-wind areas, such as along waterways, parks and golf courses," Noe said.

Other Venetian markets include West Palm Beach, Miami, Miami Gardens, Miramar, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Weston, Boynton Beach, Boca Raton and Key Biscayne.

Venetian Builders, Inc., increased its sales volume of custom-designed, custom-fabricated sunrooms and screen enclosures in Key Biscayne, Fla., in 2012 by 18 percent, due partly to the company’s expertise in handling the Keys’ smallest pest but biggest nuisance, the NoSeeum, Venetian Builders President Christopher Noe said. Venetian’s expertise in fighting the area’s tiny, stinging midges has increased business there and in Homestead, where NoSeeums also are plentiful, Noe said.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2013 -- NoSeeums, the tiny stinging midges that make themselves a big nuisance in the Keys and other places in the deepest parts of South Florida, are meeting their match, said Venetian Builders, Inc., President Christopher Noe, and it's not a high-tech secret or a dangerous chemical.

"Knowing how to build the best Key Biscayne screen enclosure is our answer to the NoSeeum problem," Noe said.

Venetian Builders increased its sunroom and screen enclosure business in Key Biscayne by 18 percent last year, Noe said, due in part to Venetian's effective NoSeeum-fighting screen enclosures. In Homestead, where NoSeeums also are a problem, Venetian Builders business soared 300 percent in 2012, Noe said, making Homestead Venetian's No. 5 market.

Other top markets for Venetian sales include Miami, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood and Boynton Beach.

"The word is getting around that with our proper screening, NoSeeums become JustForgettems," Noe said. "Outdoor life in and near the Keys is impossible without proper screening, and we know how to design and install effective NoSeeum controls."

It's a matter of using the proper mesh on a screened patio room or screened pool enclosure, Noe said. "To the casual observer, one mesh may not look any different than another," he said. "But for certain pests, and NoSeeums certainly fall into this category, a finer mesh with smaller openings is needed. What's great is that the NoSeeum-proof screen enclosures still protect the good views that homeowners prize."

Ket Biscayne is a premiere Florida community, Noe said, citing statistics from census.gov. "The average household income is more than twice that of the state of Florida," he said. "And the average home value is more than three times the state average."

That's why Venetian Builders will always custom design sunrooms and screen enclosures for each customer, Noe said. "We make sure any addition we build is right for the home that it expands, for the neighborhood and for the homeowners who are ordering it," Noe said.

Key Biscayne's location means the toughest high-wind standards of the Florida Building Code are required. "We use heavier-gauge aluminum to make strong screen pool enclosures that still look elegant," Noe said. "We use corrosion-resistant stainless steel connectors and we carefully engineer and custom-fabricate gusset plates to add strength without grabbing attention."

Venetian Builders estimates are free, detailed and written for homeowners in Key Biscayne, Homestead, West Palm Beach, Stuart, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and all surrounding communities. For more information, cal 866-596-2427.

More buyers of aluminum sunroom additions are taking advantage of custom-design capabilities to match the roofs of their existing homes when expanding, says Venetian Builders President Christopher Noe. The founder of the Miami sunroom and screen enclosure installer attributes the six-month upswing in roofing matches to an improved economy, low interest rates for borrowers and a commitment by more homeowners to get comfortable where they are, rather than move.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2013 -- More people who expand their homes with aluminum sunroom additions have been choosing to match roof materials to those on the original home, said Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, commenting on a trend he's seen develop over the past six months.

"Sunrooms can stand safely and weather tight with just their insulated roofing panels," Noe said. "Many homeowners go that route simply because it's the most affordable way to get all-season square footage. But increasingly, especially over the past half-year, buyers of sunroom installations are asking us to match the roofing on their home."

The advantage of matched roofing is purely aesthetic, Noe said.

"Go to a gallery of quality sunrooms and you'll see that if a roofline is continued over the sunroom, matching roof materials makes the end result appear as one unit, not an addition," Noe said. "If the roofline is separate, matching the clay tiles or other roofing materials still makes the sunroom look like it belongs."

What Noe expects to see is a decision by more patio room customers, not just sunroom buyers, to match roofing materials.

"The buyer of, say, a Miramar patio enclosure typically has a lower budget than the buyer of a Boca Raton sunroom," Noe said. "But with the advances in insulated all-weather patio enclosures, homeowners are discovering that adding enclosed patio room living space is affordable, and they have money left in their budget for roof matching."

Citing reports from census.gov, Noe notes that Americans moved more in 2012 than in 2011, but still at historically low rates. The longer stays are combining with improving real estate markets to increase equity.

"To get the space they need, homeowners are adding on," Noe said. "It's cheaper than buying a bigger house and paying closing costs and moving charges."

The time from permitting to occupancy on an aluminum-frame addition is shorter than for traditional construction methods, Noe said, adding convenience.

Low interest rates make additions more affordable, he said. Bankrate.com recently reported the average rate for a home-equity line of credit was 5.03 percent.

"Go to an online loan payment calculator such as ihsloans.com and you'll see that a $25,000 loan would cost just over $265 a month with a 10-year payoff," Noe said. "That's doable for many homeowners who have been in their homes a while and built up equity."

Venetian Builders installs sunrooms, patio enclosures and strong but elegant screen pool enclosures in West Palm Beach, Weston, Wellington, Davie, Miramar, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Miami, Homestead and all communities nearby. Venetian Builders estimates are free, detailed and written.

Doral, Fla., remained a key market for Venetian Builders, Inc., sunrooms, patio rooms and screen enclosures in 2012, company President Christopher Noe said today. Venetian Builders maintains its metropolitan Miami office in Doral, where the company was begun eight years ago before it expanded throughout South Florida to be the region’s leading installer of custom-designed, custom-fabricated aluminum home additions.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., continued in 2012 to maintain Doral, Fla., as a key market for its sunroom and screen enclosure installations, Venetian President Christopher Noe said today.

Doral's 2012 sales placed it just outside the top 10 markets for Venetian Builders, Noe said, even as company sales expanded rapidly in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Throughout South Florida, Venetian Builders residential sunroom and screen enclosure business increased nearly 86 percent in 2012, Noe said.

Top markets for Venetian Builders in 2012 included Miami, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Miramar, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Boynton Beach, Hollywood and Boca Raton.

"From the very beginning, in 2005, Venetian Builders made building the best Doral sunroom a priority, and we're still doing that today," Noe said. "And, of course, we're also building our multi-purpose patio rooms and custom screened pool enclosures."

Doral is in many ways a reflection of South Florida building needs, Noe said.

"You find the high-wind areas where the Florida Building Code is so strict, such as along golf courses, inland waterways and parks," Noe said. "Venetian Builders designs and installs not just to meet the code, but to exceed it."

There is also diversity in architectural designs on Doral's residential streets, Noe noted.

"Some Doral neighborhoods are dominated by single-story homes, and others have more vertical, two-story layouts," Noe said. "That means different types of sunrooms and screened enclosures, including sturdy but attractive pool enclosures, are needed to meet neighborhood standards and homeowner tastes.

"Still other Doral neighborhoods have owner-occupied units in multi-family buildings. Such small lots present their own challenges, but Venetian Builders is experienced at facilitating the permitting process, wherever we design and install a sunroom or a custom-design screen enclosure."

Census.gov shows that the Doral population continues to grow, Noe said, and that more than 28 percent of its population is school-aged or younger. "When you have families, using space wisely is key, and homeowners who buy from Venetian Builders tell us they find sunrooms and versatile patio rooms ideal for adding play space and entertainment areas without breaking the family budget," Noe said.

Venetian Builders also builds its custom-designed sunrooms and screened enclosures in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Stuart and all other South Florida communities.

Estimates are free, written and detailed. "That kind of estimate eliminates unwanted surprises," Noe said. Venetian estimators show customers a wide range of design and material choices right at their door, before they commit to an improvement from Venetian Builders.

Increasing sales of sunrooms and screen enclosures in Pinecrest, Fla., a village that has earned a Tree City USA designation for its curbside plantings, reflects well on Venetian Builders, Inc., company President Christopher Noe says. Pinecrest obviously is a place that values aesthetics, Noe said, making Venetian’s custom-design capabilities and exacting craftsmanship appealing to homeowners there.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/15/2013 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., President Christopher Noe said his company's custom-design capabilities and construction standards are increasing its sunroom and screen enclosure appeal in Pinecrest, Fla., a village that boasts of its Tree City USA designation.

"Almost any street in Pinecrest is verdant," Noe said. "The lush greenery demonstrates a respect for a clean, pleasing appearance."

According to pinecrest-fl.gov, the village has planted more than 10,000 trees since 1997, earning it national recognition.

"At Venetian Builders, Inc., we understand the importance of aesthetics," Noe said. "We custom-design every sunroom, patio enclosure, patio cover and screened pool enclosure we build.

"The best Pinecrest sunroom is not necessarily the perfect West Palm Beach sunroom or the ideal Davie sunroom. When we design a Pinecrest patio room or sunroom, we look not only at the needs of the customer, but also at the home that is being expanded, and at the neighborhood where it sits."

With so much to enjoy visually in Pinecrest, Noe said, it's good that Venetian designers know how to create a sturdy screen pool enclosure that preserves views. Framing that uses Venetian's heavier-gauge aluminum looks to the casual observer like the framing on lesser structures but provides extra strength against wind generated by named storms, he said.

According to census.gov, the Pinecrest population was estimated to have grown 2.4 percent between 2010 and 2011. More than 27 percent of its population was 18 years old or younger in 2010, a full 6 percentage points higher than the state average, the website notes. And it lists a median household population over three people, meaning it's a family place, Noe said.

"Families are coming to understand the affordability of aluminum additions to add living space," Noe said. "Today's patio rooms and sunrooms offer 24-hour, year-round livability with lower permitting and construction costs, and shorter wait from design to occupancy."

Top markets in South Florida for Venetian Builders include Miami, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton.

"Venetian Builders estimates are always free, whether in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami or any surrounding community," Noe said. "And our estimates are written and detailed, meaning no surprises for the customer."

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2012 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., of Miami, Fla., says their aluminum room additions help to pay for themselves through savings at installation and every year. Compared with traditional construction, Venetian sunrooms and insulated patio enclosures save as much as 40 percent up front on construction costs, then save year after year with lower tax assessments. Venetian sunrooms and insulated patio enclosures offer year-round, 24-hour comfort.

Homeowners can add livable square footage through an aluminum home addition that will pay for itself through savings on permitting, construction and property taxes, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Venetian Builders is the leading installer of quality aluminum home additions, including hurricane-resistant sunrooms, patio enclosures and screened pool enclosures, in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and surrounding communities.

"The math doesn't lie," Noe said. "Homeowners looking to add weatherproof square footage can do it for less by purchasing an aluminum addition, and they'll save every year because of Florida tax laws."

Up front, an aluminum sunroom or patio enclosure saves two ways compared with traditional construction, Noe said. "The permitting costs less because the aluminum structure won't involve impact fees for easement, drainage, utilities and electrical," Noe explained. "The second savings is in the structure itself, which costs about 40 percent less than an addition built by traditional methods."

The Florida tax code keeps the savings coming, Noe said.

"Make no mistake that a custom-designed sunroom or insulated patio enclosure adds livable space," Noe said. "The spaces are usable 24 hours a day because they can include power for lighting, and 12 months a year because they can be climate-controlled."

In the eyes of the tax assessor, however, such space is not taxable square footage. "That means it will save on taxes year after year," Noe said. "And the more millage rates rise, the more an aluminum sunroom or patio enclosure will save. It also can limit increases in homeowners association fees. In effect, when you consider the up-front savings and the year-after year tax and fee reductions, the room helps to pay for itself."

Venetian Builders offers free, detailed estimates on sunrooms, patio enclosures and screened pool enclosures for homeowners in all south Florida communities, including West Palm Beach, Homestead, Coral Gables, Pembroke Pines and Boca Raton.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/14/2012 -- Christopher C. Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., the leading installer of quality aluminum home additions in South Florida, expects rising home values forecast by economists to help more homeowners obtain financing for added living space and other home improvements. Rising home values mean more home equity, which traditionally makes it easier for homeowners to borrow for home improvements, Noe said. Continued demand in the housing sector is a good incentive for Congress and the White House to cooperate on avoiding the fiscal cliff, Noe said.

With prices of existing homes rising in many markets, and with forecasts of a continued rise over two to four years, Christopher Noe, president of south Florida's leading builder of quality aluminum home additions, expects more homeowners to find the financing they need for home improvements. Noe is president of Venetian Builders, Inc., of Miami, which builds hurricane-resistant sunrooms, patio enclosures and screened pool enclosures in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and nearby communities.

A report by the National Association of Realtors on realtor.com notes that the median U.S. home price will have risen 6 percent in 2012. The report forecasts that in 2013, the median home price will rise 5 percent.

Economists in a Zillow.com forecast said that, on average, U.S. home prices will increase 15.6 percent by 2016, with one economist telling Zillow an improvement of more than 24 percent is likely by then.

"As prices rise, so does value, and that means many homeowners will increase the equity in their homes," Noe said. "Equity is a key in obtaining loans for home improvements."

South Florida's real estate recovery is well-documented. Miami-Fort Lauderdale has ranked in realtor.com's top 10 recovering markets since the rankings began. For 2013, realtor.com forecasts home value in Miami-Fort Lauderdale to increase 6.1 percent, second-highest nationally.

Miami-Dade already was ranked by the National Association of Home Builders as the top U.S. market in the South for remodeling expenditures for 2011, at $1.7 billion.

"For many homeowners, it will make sense to add a sunroom, patio cover or screened pool enclosure as home values rise," Noe said. 'They'll figure that an addition will just make their homes even more valuable."

Noe warned, however, that Congress and the White House must avoid the fiscal cliff – a $770 billion reduction in federal spending and broad increase in taxes on Jan. 1, 2013. Economists told USNews.com that the fiscal cliff would drive the country into another recession by cutting spendable income and would boost unemployment to nearly 9 percent.

"Some way to maintain and increase momentum must be found," Noe said.

Venetian Builders.com offers free, detailed estimates to homeowners in Homestead, Miami, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and other south Florida communities who want to add aluminum sunrooms, patio enclosures or screened pool enclosures. For more information, call Venetian Builders, 866-596-2427.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2012 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., of Miami, South Florida's leading installer of screened pool enclosures, screened patio enclosures, patio rooms and sunrooms, has expanded its business into Wellington near West Palm Beach.

For Wellington's owners of swimming pools, Venetian screened pool enclosures are built to stand up to the winds generated by the community's many open spaces, and to errant golf balls from its plentiful courses. Venetian installs aluminum additions on homes and businesses in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and surrounding communities.

Homeowners in Wellington can rely on Venetian Builders' broad experience in meeting or exceeding Exposure C requirements. The Florida Building Code requires the tougher Exposure C standards for aluminum structures adjacent to open areas, including golf courses, lakes and canals. All are in ample supply in Wellington.

An abundance of homes in Wellington's master plan communities have swimming pools, said Brian Cespedes, chief estimator for Venetian Builders. "Homeowners want to preserve their views, but they want the comfort that screened enclosures provide," Cespedes said.

Venetian is experienced in building sturdy, hurricane-resistant pool enclosures that preserve views, Cespedes said. "Screened pool enclosures don't have to be bulky and clumsy-looking to be extra sturdy," Cespedes said. "What they must be is well-designed, properly engineered and carefully crafted."

In building pool enclosures, patio enclosures and sunrooms, Venetian uses columns and beams with heavier-gauge aluminum that, although it may not look different to the casual observer, provides extra strength compared with lighter-gauge aluminum with the same exterior dimensions. The stronger frames can reduce the need for extra braces that would rob homeowners of the views they love.

For the many homeowners whose houses border golf courses, a well-built screened pool enclosure can offer protection from something besides insects and animals.

"There are people who have us install the screened enclosures just to keep the golf balls out," Cespedes said.

That adds outdoor safety. According to Sports Illustrated's Golf.com website, golf balls driven off a tee can reach 160 miles per hour. Golf balls struck with a mid-iron can still reach 140 mph, the site says. And balls are being engineered to go further, sometimes challenging the courses that golfers play.

Venetian Builders offers free estimates on aluminum patio enclosures and screened pool enclosures to homeowners in Wellington, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and other communities in Palm Beach and South Florida. For more information contact Venetian Builders, Inc., 866-596-2427.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2012 -- Venetian Builders, Inc., of Miami has expanded installation of its hurricane-resistant screened patio enclosures, patio rooms, screened pool enclosures and sunrooms into Lantana and other West Palm Beach suburbs. Venetian Builders is the leading installer of aluminum home additions and enclosures in Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and their surrounding communities.

Venetian offers designs and price levels for the wide variety of neighborhoods in Lantana, said Brian Cespedes, lead estimator for Venetian Builders.

"People tend to think patio enclosures are expensive, but they really can be quite economical," Cespedes said. "We don't do one size fits all. Every patio enclosure we do, whether screened or insulated, is designed for the house where we install it. We measure a homeowner's needs and budget and we deliver an appropriate addition."

Possibilities are limitless in Lantana's newer, more luxurious coastal homes, he said. Structures, including sunrooms, are designed to look like part of the original home, not tacked on. Roofs can be made to match that of the original home.

Venetian's structures are engineered to meet or exceed building regulations for high-exposure areas near open spaces such as the ocean, lakes, canals, recreation areas and the Lantana Airport, Cespedes said.

In older, more modest neighborhoods, the price of patio enclosures is more modest, as well. "We can't emphasize enough that the price is not high on a small patio enclosure," he said. "Homeowners get free, detailed estimates and a look at the materials they choose. They can make an educated decision."

According to ClimateZone.com, even South Florida's coldest month, January, has a comfortable average high temperature of 75 degrees. Its hottest months, July and August, have an average high of 89.

Enclosing a patio increases its usefulness at either extreme, Cespedes said. "Screening cuts nuisances such as insects and animals," he said. "Covering it with an insulated roof keeps out the harshest summer temperatures."

Pools increasingly are candidates for screened enclosures, he said, with no need to make them feel closed-in. "Screened pool enclosures don't have to be bulky and clumsy-looking to be extra sturdy," Cespedes explained. "What they must be is well-designed, properly engineered and carefully crafted."
