Weston Contractor for Outdoor Living Design-Build
Salamone Solutions handles the full scope — design, permits, HOA submittals, and build — for Weston homeowners who want an integrated outdoor space done once and done right.
What Working with a Weston Contractor Actually Involves
Weston is not a typical South Florida job. Properties in the 33326, 33327, 33331, and 33332 ZIP codes sit inside master-planned communities — Weston Hills Country Club, Windmill Ranch, Bonaventure — each with its own HOA architectural review board and its own submittal timeline. A contractor who hasn't navigated those boards before will cost you weeks of back-and-forth revisions.
On top of HOA review, Broward County building permits for structural additions — pergolas, cabanas, outdoor kitchens with gas — require engineered drawings and inspections at multiple stages. Weston's tree-canopy and drainage requirements add a layer that matters especially on larger lots where hardscape coverage is a consideration. Getting the drawings right the first time is faster than correcting them after the county flags a deficiency.
Gated-community access for delivery trucks, subcontractors, and inspectors adds coordination that most contractors don't price or plan for. We schedule around gate hours, register vehicles in advance, and keep a single point of contact for the HOA so you're not fielding calls about your own construction.

How Weston Projects Typically Come Together
Most Weston homeowners come to us with a general vision — shade over the pool, an outdoor kitchen near the lanai, a hardscape that connects it all — but haven't priced out the sequencing. The order of trades matters: structural framing before electrical rough-in, coping and decking before screen enclosure footings, planting after hardscape is locked so irrigation doesn't get trenched twice.
The two-hour on-site consultation is how we sort that out. Anthony walks the property, identifies any site constraints (drainage grade, existing utility runs, HOA setback lines), and produces a scope that sequences the work correctly. That conversation shapes the permit set and the build schedule before any materials are ordered.
Weston homeowners in Windmill Ranch and Weston Hills frequently combine a louvered pergola or cabana with an outdoor kitchen and full paver deck as one permitted project rather than phasing it over several years. Pulling one permit for a coordinated scope is generally more cost-efficient than returning for multiple sequential permits — and it produces a finished result that reads as one design rather than a series of additions.
Common questions
- Do I need a permit for an outdoor structure in Weston, FL?
- Most structural additions in Weston — pergolas, cabanas, screen enclosures, outdoor kitchens with gas or electrical — require a Broward County building permit and, separately, HOA architectural approval. The county and the HOA run on different timelines and have different drawing requirements. We handle both submittals so you're not managing two review processes at once.
- Can you work inside Weston's gated communities?
- Yes — Weston Hills, Windmill Ranch, and Bonaventure are frequent project locations. We register contractors and delivery vehicles with community management in advance, schedule around gate access hours, and keep communication with the HOA direct so it doesn't fall on you to coordinate every truck that arrives.
- How long does a full outdoor living project in Weston typically take from consultation to completion?
- Timeline varies based on HOA review speed, permit complexity, and project scope — a combined pergola, kitchen, and paver deck will run longer than a standalone patio. HOA boards in Weston communities often meet monthly, so submitting a complete, correct package on the first pass is the single biggest factor in avoiding delays. We'll give you a realistic schedule estimate after the site walk.
