FAQ: Screened Porches & Patio Enclosures

  • What’s the difference between a screened porch and a patio enclosure?

    A screened porch is a framed structure with screened walls, while a patio enclosure typically converts an existing patio cover into a screened‑in space. Both provide airflow and bug protection, but screened porches offer more design flexibility.

  • How much does a screened porch cost in Central Texas?

    Most screened porches fall within a predictable range based on size, roof tie‑ins, screen type, and electrical upgrades. Converting an existing patio is usually more affordable than building a new structure.

  • Do screened porches require a permit in Austin or San Antonio?

    Yes, most screened porches and patio enclosures require a building permit. We handle all city permits and HOA submissions for Austin, San Antonio, and surrounding Hill Country communities.

  • Can you screen in my existing patio cover?

    Yes — screening in an existing patio cover is one of the most common and cost‑effective options. We add framing, screens, doors, and optional electrical upgrades to create a fully enclosed space.

  • What types of screens can I choose from?

    We offer standard fiberglass, pet‑resistant mesh, solar screen, and high‑visibility options. Each performs differently in terms of airflow, durability, and sun control.

  • How long does it take to build a screened porch?

    Most projects take 1–3 weeks depending on size, materials, and permitting requirements. Simple screen‑in conversions are typically the fastest.
