Permits and HOAs in Port Charlotte
Port Charlotte is not an incorporated city, so building permits come from Charlotte County. The county’s Community Development Department handles them through its Building Construction Services division.
New enclosures and structural work are engineered for your home and site, and they are permitted before the build. Many Port Charlotte communities and HOAs also require architectural approval before exterior changes, so check your community’s rules early.

What customers say
Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google.
Excellent customer service and product. We upgraded our lanai framing and screens from the original 1980s to panoramic and it is amazing. Austin took the time to talk through options, what materials they would use, length of time to install and cost. His employees are also kind quiet efficient and courteous . Absolutely would recommend.
Fantastic 5-star service from Back Water Aluminum! Austin repaired torn screens on our pool cage; he reattached and straightened wind-damaged framing, and fixed our loose gutter guards. Austin also adjusted our front screen door, which was scraping along the concrete (no more scratching). Punctual, skilled, and honest work from start to finish. We are happy and definitely recommend Austin from Back Water Aluminum!
We had the screen roof taken off our Lani and a solid roof put in. What a difference. Austin and his crew went above and beyond. Great professional work. So good that we then had them screen in our entry way. Complete with a 4' custom screen door. I would recommend them to anyone.
Austin & his men did a beautiful job creating & building our lanai. We love it! Planning the job, scheduling & completion went seamlessly. I highly recommend this business. Thank you
So happy we chose Backwater Aluminum. Austin and his team installed our front door enclosure and re-screened our lanai. They are professional, courteous and very friendly. Austin explained everything about the products he was using and the install. We couldn't be happier with the finished product.
