What Is Patio Screening?
Patio screening, also called lanai screening or screen enclosures, involves installing aluminum framework and mesh screening materials to enclose outdoor patios, lanais, decks, or balconies. The screening creates a protected outdoor living space that blocks insects while maintaining natural airflow and outdoor ambiance.
A typical patio screen enclosure consists of extruded aluminum posts and beams forming the structural framework, horizontal and vertical aluminum members creating screen panels, commercial-grade screening material (fiberglass, polyester, or specialized mesh), and aluminum spline that secures screening to the framework. The system attaches to your home's fascia and extends over your existing patio slab or deck.
Patio screening is one of the most popular home improvements in South Florida because it dramatically extends usable living space without the expense of room additions. A screened patio provides 150-400 square feet of additional living area perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, relaxation, and enjoying South Florida's year-round climate without the nuisance of insects.
Year-Round Outdoor Living
Patio screening enables comfortable outdoor use 365 days per year in South Florida by blocking 99% of mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and flying insects while maintaining excellent airflow and natural light. Screen your patio to reclaim outdoor space that's unusable due to bugs.
Increased Property Value
According to South Florida appraisal data, quality patio screen enclosures increase home value by 5-10% on average. This cost-effective improvement provides strong return on investment while enhancing lifestyle and curb appeal.
Protection From Elements
Beyond insect control, patio screening provides 60-90% UV protection (depending on screen type), keeps out leaves and debris, reduces pollen infiltration by 70-80%, and provides wind protection for outdoor furniture. Solar screening options dramatically reduce heat and glare.

Energy Savings

Patio screening is the most cost-effective way to dramatically expand your livable space in South Florida. Unlike room additions that require extensive construction, foundation work, and HVAC extensions costing $150-300 per square foot, patio screening adds functional outdoor living space at a fraction of the cost while maintaining the open-air ambiance that makes South Florida living special.
South Florida's year-round warm weather makes outdoor living ideal, but intense sun, afternoon rain showers, and abundant insect populations can limit patio usability. Professional patio screening creates a comfortable buffer zone that blocks 99% of insects while maintaining natural breezes, provides 60-90% UV protection, and extends the usable hours of your outdoor space into early morning and evening when mosquitoes are most active.

Comprehensive Patio Screening Services
New Patio Screen Enclosures: Complete design and installation of aluminum framework with your choice of screening material. We engineer the structure to meet Florida Building Code wind load requirements, attach securely to your home's fascia and soffit, coordinate permit requirements with local building departments, and provide comprehensive warranty coverage.
Patio Rescreening: Remove and replace deteriorated screening on existing enclosures. We inspect aluminum framework for damage requiring repair, upgrade to higher-performance screening if desired (standard to pet-resistant or solar), ensure proper screen tension and professional appearance, and complete most rescreening projects in 1-2 days.
Screen Material Upgrades: Many homeowners use rescreening as an opportunity to upgrade from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant screening for enhanced durability, solar screening for UV and heat protection, or privacy screening for reduced visibility from neighbors and streets.
Framework Repair & Replacement: Over time, aluminum framework can develop issues from corrosion (especially in coastal areas), storm damage, or structural settling. We repair or replace damaged framework components, reinforce weak or sagging sections, replace corroded fasteners and connections, and ensure structural integrity before installing new screening.
Custom Lanai Designs: For new construction or major renovations, we design and build custom screened lanai rooms incorporating multiple screen types in single enclosure, architectural details matching your home's style, integrated lighting and ceiling fans, and coordinated door and window placements.
All patio screening installations include our comprehensive 5-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects, proper screen tension, secure framework attachment, and all fasteners and connections.
