Custom Built Patio Screen Enclosures in Houston, TX

A patio screen enclosure is a structure that shields your patio from outdoor elements and provides a covered oasis-like outdoor space that you can lounge in, enjoying nature, without worrying about insects, pests, or weather conditions.

The construction of a screened enclosure involves fabricating aluminum frames and attaching fiberglass screen mesh between them. These frame and mesh materials are used because they are strong, resistant to corrosion, and require minimum upkeep.

Investing in a high-quality patio enclosure will increase your home’s value by adding a more usable, private and well-ventilated space for your and your family to play, relax and entertain guests in.

Whether it’s for your porch, patio, deck or gazebo, there are 2 basic types of enclosures for you to choose from, and they are:

1. Pre-Manufactured Enclosures
2. Custom Built Enclosures

Pre-Manufactured Enclosures

One of the most popular pre-manufactured options that we install is called the Eze-Breeze® System, by PGT Industries. This is a very high quality enclosure kit that has many options for you to choose from, but the main difference in a pre-manufactured kit like this is that it allows for the addition of HVAC – should you want to have AC or heating installed.

Custom Built Enclosures

For homeowners who do not need AC or Heating in their enclosure, we recommend one of our custom-built enclosures. A custom built enclosure will protect you from insects and the elements. These typically cost less than the pre-manufactured options because they are not HVAC ready, yet they can include windows, doors and any other custom addons that you want.

• Allow your family to enjoy the outdoors in an open-air ambiance, feel the breeze or bask in the sun in an environment that protects you from heat, insects, and harmful UV rays.
• Provide open views of your surroundings, appreciate the open space around you, and help you connect with nature.
• Allow you to entertain friends and family in a lively, airy, homely location.
• Give you enhanced privacy in an intimate and cozy “outdoors” enclosure, free from distractions, prying eyes, and insects.
• Allow you to create a temperature-controlled retreat in the comfort of your garden.
• Increase your productivity or pleasure by turning the enclosure into a home office or a gym.
• Provide space for your family to lounge around in a comfortable setting and get the most out of our three seasons – spring, summer, and fall.
• They are incredibly adaptable, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces without heat and dust.

Only hire professionals to install your enclosure, here’s why:

1. A professional patio-building contractor will have the experience and expertise to shepherd you through the process of choosing the right kind of enclosure for your Houston area home. They will know all the potential pitfalls to avoid so that your installation is as comfortable and beautiful as it is solid and durable.
2. They ensure that all local building regulations are complied with, permissions are obtained, and that your patio enclosure meets the required standards.
3. A DIY effort may yield poor-quality construction or poor material selection, which can affect the structure’s life and safety standards.
4. Unlike a DIY effort, a professional can complete the installation promptly, as per the contract, and within the agreed budget.
5. A professional can give you several choices and designs that blend in with your home’s architecture and also advise you on the best option based on your preferences.
6. Professionally installed structures come with a warranty and guarantee.

1. What type of patio enclosures are appropriate for the weather conditions in the Houston area?
2. What is the purpose of the enclosure? (The enclosure type should align with your lifestyle and preferences.)
3. What are the best options for your lifestyle and home, and what will it cost? Add up the cost of materials, construction permits, installation and any other special features (lighting, columns, fans, etc.)
4. Have the local authorities or homeowners’ associations placed any restrictions on constructing a patio enclosure in your area?
5. How will the enclosure complement your home’s architecture and outdoor space?
6. Is the size of the enclosure a good fit for your intended purpose?
7. Are the materials chosen durable, suitable, and relatively maintenance-free for the weather conditions in our region?
8. Do you need any additional features, such as insulated panels, climate control such as HVAC, electrical, etc.
9. Will your enclosure provide enough shade for you and your family on sunny days, or will it require additional shading for your intended use?
10. Will the type of  screen mesh used keep out insects/bugs while still maintaining good airflow?
11. How long will the patio enclosure last? Will you need modifications/maintenance over time?
12. Is your installer licensed, bonded and insured – and can they provide you with references from other happy homeowners? If not, do not hire them!

Here is how we do it:

1. The initial steps include determining your intended purpose of the enclosure, calculating the required size, and creating a layout.
2. Our contractor will suggest materials and colors to use and discuss with you any additional features that may be required.
3. Local permits and approvals are then obtained by submitting the necessary documentation.
4. The area is cleared and marked.
5. The frame is assembled as per the layout and/or the manufacturer’s instructions. Our contractors will ensure that the frame is secure and that efficient hardware/anchors are used.
6. The screen mesh is attached to the frame. Our contractors will always ensure it is tightly stretched to prevent any sagging.
7. The roof is then constructed and/or installed.
8. Doors and windows are installed (depending on the type of enclosure you have chosen).
9. Our team conducts a full quality-check and ensures there are no defects or loose connections and that all elements/components are properly aligned and secured.
10. Our contractors add any finishing touches (painting/decorative elements) to the enclosure.
11. Next, it is time to clean up and remove debris and materials from the site.
12. Finally, the contractor undertakes a final inspection and ensures that the enclosure meets safety standards.

That’s it. Now enjoy your patio screen enclosure!
