Our Process
How Our Patio Enclosure Installation Process Works
We keep our process straightforward so you always know what's happening on your property and when. From the first phone call to the final inspection, our team communicates clearly and works efficiently.
01
On-site consultation and design
We visit your home to measure your patio, discuss your goals, and talk through enclosure styles: screened, glass, or fully enclosed with insulated walls. You'll get honest input on what fits your yard and your budget.
02
Detailed proposal and material selection
We put together a clear, itemized proposal covering framing, roofing, windows, doors, and finish details. You choose the materials, whether that's a metal roof installation for durability or vinyl screening for airflow.
03
Construction and installation
Our crew builds your patio enclosure on schedule, from footings and framing through roofing, siding, windows, and doors. We protect your yard and existing patio surface throughout the build.
04
Final walkthrough and cleanup
Once construction wraps up, we walk the finished enclosure with you, check every seal and fastener, and clean the site completely. We don't consider the job done until you're satisfied with the result.

Signs Your Patio Is Ready for an Enclosure
Plenty of East Texas homeowners have a patio that sits unused for half the year because of bugs, sun glare, or sudden rain. A well-built enclosure solves those problems and adds usable square footage without a full home addition.
Consider a patio enclosure if you notice any of the following:
Your patio furniture and grill are exposed to direct sun and rain damage most of the year
Mosquitoes and other insects keep you from using the space in spring and summer evenings
You want a screened patio installation that still lets in a breeze on cooler days
You'd like a fully enclosed sunroom installation for year-round use with heating and cooling
Your current patio cover is worn, sagging, or leaking and needs a replacement
You're planning to sell and want to add value with a finished outdoor living space
Material choice matters here. A metal roof stands up better to hail and heavy rain than shingles on a patio structure, and it sheds heat more effectively during Texas summers. If you want screens instead of solid walls, look for heavy-duty mesh rated for sun exposure so it doesn't degrade after a season or two.
Common questions
Patio Enclosure Installation FAQs
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners planning a patio enclosure project.
How long does patio enclosure installation take?
Most residential patio enclosures take one to three weeks from the start of construction to final walkthrough, depending on size and material selections. Custom sunroom installations with insulated walls and full window packages take longer than a basic screened enclosure.
What's the difference between a patio cover and a patio enclosure?
A patio cover installation adds a roof over your existing patio but leaves the sides open. A patio enclosure adds walls, screens, windows, or doors around that covered space, turning it into a more defined room you can use in more weather conditions.
Do you offer metal patio cover installation?
Yes. Metal patio cover installation is one of our most requested options because of how well it holds up to East Texas storms and sun. We also handle full metal roof installation for enclosures that need extra durability.
Can I add windows and doors to an existing patio cover?
In most cases, yes. As an experienced home improvement contractor, we regularly retrofit existing patio covers with new framing, window installation, and door installation to turn an open structure into a usable enclosed room.
