Screen Rooms
Keep bugs out and fresh air flowing with an affordable, low-maintenance screen room perfect for Texas outdoor living.
The Simple Solution for Bug-Free Outdoor Time
A screen room is exactly what it sounds like. It's an enclosed outdoor space with walls made of durable screening material held in sturdy aluminum frames. You get a roof overhead, screening all around, and doors to access the space. Air flows freely, you can see your yard clearly, and bugs stay outside where they belong.
Think of it as your outdoor living room without the mosquitoes. Here in Pharr, TX, we have great weather most of the year, but bugs can make evenings miserable. A screen room solves that problem affordably. You're not building a climate-controlled space like a four-season sunroom. You're creating a covered, protected outdoor area that costs significantly less but still gives you tons of usable space.
Screen rooms work great as dining areas, lounging spaces, hobby rooms, or play areas for kids. Many customers set up outdoor furniture, add ceiling fans, and use their screen room almost daily during spring, fall, and winter. Summer gets hot because there's no air conditioning, but fans help, and you're still more comfortable than sitting in direct sun.
What Makes Screen Rooms Worth It
The biggest benefit is obvious: no more bugs. You can eat dinner without flies landing on your plate. You can read a book at dusk without mosquitoes buzzing in your ears. Your kids can play outside without getting bitten up. That alone makes screen rooms worth it for most families.
Other Benefits You Get
- •Protection from light rain: Your furniture stays dry during light showers. You don't have to rush everything inside when clouds roll in.
- •Shade from harsh sun: The roof blocks direct sunlight, making your outdoor space more comfortable during the day.
- •Reduced patio maintenance: Your patio floor stays cleaner because it's protected from leaves, dirt, and debris.
- •Lower cost than glass enclosures: Screen rooms are the most affordable way to add protected outdoor living space.
- •Low maintenance: Aluminum frames don't rot or rust. Screens are durable and easy to clean with a hose.
We build screen rooms that last. The aluminum framing is powder-coated to resist fading and corrosion. We use heavy-duty screening that stands up to Texas sun and occasional impacts from pets or kids. The structure is engineered to meet local wind load requirements, so it's safe and secure even during storms.
Installation is straightforward. We attach the screen room to your house and anchor it to your existing patio slab or deck. Most projects are completed in two to three weeks from start to finish. We handle all permits and inspections required by the city of Pharr, so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.
Screen Room Options and Upgrades
Every screen room we build is customized to fit your home and how you want to use the space. Here's what you can choose from.
Roof Style
We typically install solid insulated roofs for maximum shade and protection. However, some customers want more natural light and choose glass or polycarbonate roof panels. This lets sunlight through while still blocking rain. We'll help you decide based on how much shade you need and whether the screen room will get direct afternoon sun.
Frame Color
Aluminum frames come in several powder-coated colors. White and bronze are most common, but we can match your home's trim or go with a modern black finish. The frame color affects the overall look, so we bring samples during your consultation.
Screen Type
Standard screen is fine for most applications, but we also offer pet-resistant screen if you have dogs or cats that might scratch or push against it. There's also solar screen that blocks more UV rays if you want extra sun protection. We'll recommend the best option based on your situation.
Door Options
You need at least one door to access your screen room. Most customers choose a screen door that matches the main panels. Some want sliding screen doors for a wider opening. Others add a solid door if they're accessing the screen room from inside the house. We position doors based on your furniture layout and traffic flow.
Many homeowners also add ceiling fans and lighting. We can wire electrical for fans, which make a huge difference on warm days. Outdoor-rated lights let you use the space in the evening. These additions increase the project cost but significantly improve comfort and usability.
If you're trying to decide between a screen room and a patio enclosure with glass panels, we'll walk you through the pros and cons during your free consultation. Screen rooms are more affordable and provide better airflow, while glass enclosures offer more weather protection. Many customers start with screens and add glass panels later if they want more year-round protection.
