Patio Enclosures — what you get
Screen the space in and you keep the breeze and the view but lose the mosquitoes, the pollen and the blowing rain. The single most-used upgrade we install.
- Keeps insects and windblown debris out
- Still completely open to the air and the view
- Screen doors and pet-resistant mesh options
Most patio enclosures projects we build are designed at the same time as the patio cover, sunroom and patio floor — that is the whole point of one team drawing the yard before anyone digs.
Patio Enclosures — common questions
Mosquitoes are active here from roughly March through November, with the worst of it after spring and early-autumn rain. A screened enclosure is the one thing that reliably gives you the yard back in the evening during those months, because it works without spraying anything and without wind. It does not help with heat — for that you want shade or an enclosed room.
Almost always for anything attached to the house. We file it and handle the inspection so it doesn’t stall your schedule.
A sunroom has a solid roof — stick-built or insulated aluminum — with glass walls. A solarium has a glass roof. Solariums are rarely requested in Texas heat, but we build them on request.
A cover or pergola is typically a few days on site once permitted. Enclosures and sunrooms take longer because there’s more structure and glazing.
Before You Commit to Patio Enclosures
- Know what a screen room does. It keeps out mosquitoes, pollen and blowing debris while the space stays open to the air. It does not cool it, so most sit under a solid or insulated roof.
- Choose the mesh and the doors. Pet-resistant mesh and the position of the screen doors are worth deciding early, especially where the dog and the grill both need a route out.
- Check the pool barrier. If there is a pool on the lot, new walls and doors can change the barrier that code requires, so it gets planned as part of the design.
How a Patio Enclosures Project Runs
- 1
A free design visit
A designer measures the yard, walks the access a crew would use, and talks through what you want the space to do. You get a firm price, not a range.
- 2
Drawings, permit and HOA
We draw the job, file the permit with your city and follow it through review. Where an HOA needs a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.
- 3
One crew, one schedule
The same team builds the whole thing in the right order, so the slab, the structure, the electrical and the finish work are not three companies blaming each other.
- 4
Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished job with you, settle the punch list, and leave you with one warranty covering the work rather than a folder of separate ones.

What a Screened Enclosure Keeps Out
A screen room is one of the few backyard upgrades where the promise is easy to check. Here is the honest list — what it stops cold, what it only partly stops, and the one thing people expect it to do that it will never do.
Which Siding Survives a Texas Year
Spring hail, a summer heat run, then a hard freeze before Christmas. A North Texas year asks four different things of a wall. Here is how each material answers.
What Two Texas Freezes Taught Us
Most of the damage from February 2021 and December 2022 was avoidable, and none of it was exotic. Here is what broke, in order of how often we saw it, and what to do before the first hard freeze.
