KSD Kissimmee Sunrooms & Patios is a licensed sunroom contractor serving Pine Hills and the surrounding area of west Orange County. We build patio covers, screen enclosures, and full sunroom additions - permitted through Orange County, built for Florida weather, and right-sized for the mid-century concrete block homes common throughout Pine Hills. We have been working in this part of Orange County since 2024 and pull permits directly from Orange County Building and Development Services.
Pine Hills homes from the 1960s and 1970s were often built without covered rear patios, leaving homeowners with an open concrete slab that gets full afternoon sun from May through September. A properly installed patio cover gives you shade and rain protection while keeping the open-air feel - and it forms the right starting point if you later want to add screens or glass panels.
Pine Hills sits just west of Orlando in a densely populated area where insects are a persistent problem from spring through late fall. A screen room built on an existing slab - or new concrete - keeps bugs out while letting airflow through, making the back of your home usable during the long stretches of mild weather that fall and winter bring to Central Florida.
Many Pine Hills homes have small or cramped rear areas with no covered space to start from. A sunroom addition builds an entirely new insulated room attached to the back of the house - with proper footings, framing, and a roof that integrates with your existing structure - adding permanent square footage rather than just a screened porch.
If your Pine Hills home already has a covered back porch or patio slab, a patio enclosure adds walls - screen panels, glass panels, or a combination - to make that space protected from rain and wind. It is a practical upgrade for homes that were built with a covered patio but never had any enclosure added.
For Pine Hills homeowners who want a low-maintenance enclosure that holds up against Central Florida's UV intensity and humidity, vinyl-framed sunrooms are a strong option. Vinyl does not rust like aluminum or rot like wood, and it handles the constant sun exposure and humidity this area sees without degrading as quickly as some other materials.
Some Pine Hills homes have a covered rear patio - even a small one - that could become a fully enclosed room with the right work. Converting an existing covered patio uses the current foundation and roof framing as the base, which keeps costs down compared to a new addition, and the result is a properly permitted enclosed space that adds usable area to your home.
Most homes in Pine Hills were built between the 1960s and 1980s, which makes them 40 to 60 years old today. Concrete block construction was the standard in Central Florida during that era, and most of these homes have held up well structurally. But stucco exteriors crack over decades of Florida heat cycles, window and door frames develop gaps, and the exterior wall surfaces that any new enclosure ties into need to be assessed - not assumed - before construction starts. A contractor who skips that inspection and attaches new framing to compromised stucco is setting up a water intrusion problem that may not show up until the next rainy season.
Pine Hills also has a high proportion of rental properties and investor-owned homes, which means some houses have deferred maintenance that is not obvious until you start planning an addition. Orange County requires permits for any attached structure, and the inspection process will flag problems that were hidden before work began. That is actually a benefit for homeowners - it ensures the final structure is sound, not just cosmetically finished. The area's mature tree canopy, especially older oaks and pines, also creates root and canopy considerations when placing a new patio cover or enclosure close to the house.
Our crew works throughout Pine Hills regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. The older concrete block homes in this community require a different approach at the attachment and foundation stage than newer construction - we check for stucco integrity and slab condition before finalizing any design so there are no surprises once work begins.
Pine Hills runs along Colonial Drive (US-50), the main east-west road that cuts through the community and connects it to downtown Orlando. The neighborhoods on both sides of Colonial Drive are primarily single-story ranch homes on modest lots with mature trees. Many properties here have not had any significant exterior work done in years, which means we often see a range of conditions when we arrive for a site visit - from well-maintained homes to ones that need a bit of prep before any new structure can be attached properly.
We also serve nearby areas on a regular basis. Homeowners in Ocoee to the west and in Orlando contact us for the same types of projects - permitted enclosures and patio covers on older Orange County homes. Our familiarity with the county building department's process keeps things moving without the back-and-forth that slows down projects when a contractor is new to the area.
Call or submit through our estimate form and we follow up within one business day. We ask for your Pine Hills address and a description of what you want to do - whether it is a simple patio cover, a screen room, or a full addition - so we can prepare for the site visit.
We come to your home, look at the existing patio, slab, and exterior walls, and measure the space. For older Pine Hills homes we pay close attention to the condition of the stucco and slab. You receive a written, itemized quote with no obligation, and we walk you through the permit process and what a realistic timeline looks like before you decide anything.
We file the Orange County permit application once you approve the design. We do not begin construction until the permit is approved - typically one to three weeks after filing. Any prep work on existing stucco or slab is planned into the schedule so the construction phase runs smoothly.
Construction on most Pine Hills patio cover and screen room projects takes one to three weeks. Sunroom additions take longer - typically four to eight weeks of construction. We schedule the required Orange County final inspection before closing out the project, and the closed permit is yours to keep for insurance and resale documentation.

(689) 201-8951Pine Hills is an unincorporated community in Orange County, directly west of Orlando, with a population estimated between 66,000 and 75,000 residents. It is one of the largest unincorporated communities in Central Florida - Orange County governs it directly, with no city government of its own. Pine Hills was developed in the 1950s and 1960s, marketed as the "City of Progress" when it was first built, and the community grew steadily through the 1970s and 1980s. Today it is a densely populated, predominantly residential neighborhood with Colonial Drive (US-50) running east-west through the center of the community. For background on the community's history and demographics, the Wikipedia article on Pine Hills provides a good overview.
The housing stock in Pine Hills is almost entirely single-story concrete block ranch homes built from the late 1950s through the 1980s - typically between 1,000 and 1,800 square feet on quarter-acre lots with mature trees in the yards. Many homes here have long-time owner-occupants alongside a significant share of rental properties. Neighboring communities like Rosemont to the north and Ocoee to the west share similar housing stock and the same Orange County permitting process. To the east, Orlando residents in west Orlando neighborhoods face the same mid-century home maintenance considerations and often contact us for the same types of projects.
