Porch Enclosures in Parrish, FL
Screen porch enclosures that make a covered porch comfortable to sit on — fewer bugs, less debris and a space that still feels open to the neighborhood.
Screened porches
A porch you actually use
A covered porch is one of the most inviting parts of a Florida home, but without screen it is often the least used. Mosquitoes, no-see-ums, pollen and blown leaves make it hard to sit out for long.
A screen porch enclosure closes in the covered area with aluminum framing and screen, so the porch becomes a comfortable place for morning coffee, an evening conversation or simply watching the rain. You keep the air and the view, and lose most of what made the porch unpleasant.
Porches come in every shape — front porches facing the street, side porches off a kitchen, back porches that step down to the yard. Like other screened enclosures, each is planned on its own terms — a porch is simply a smaller, more intimate kind of outdoor screen enclosure.
What we build
New porch enclosure construction
As a screen porch company serving Parrish and surrounding areas, we build new porch enclosures around existing covered porches, with supporting options where they make sense.

Storm screen solutions for homeowners who want to plan ahead for Florida's storm season.
Planning
Planning around an existing roof
The structure you have
We look at the porch roof, columns, beams and floor to see how screen walls can be attached and how the framing will line up.
Street appearance
Front porches are seen from the road, so proportions and framing lines matter as much as function.
Doors and steps
Where people come and go, and how the enclosure meets existing steps and walkways.
Approvals
Depending on the property, project scope and community, permitting and HOA approval may apply. We discuss this up front.
Florida conditions
Comfort in sun, rain and bug season
Florida porches deal with strong sun, sudden afternoon rain, high humidity and insects for much of the year. Screening a porch helps keep insects and debris out while letting breezes through, so the space stays usable through more of the day and more of the year.
Screen also softens the glare and heat of direct afternoon sun on a west- or south-facing porch, which makes seating and cushions more pleasant to use. And because the porch stays cleaner between rains, there is less sweeping and wiping down before you can sit and enjoy it.
Many homeowners find that once a porch is screened, it becomes the natural spot for a quiet morning, a phone call outside, or a place for guests to sit when they arrive — a small change that makes the front of the house feel lived in.
Storm season is part of planning, too. We offer hurricane / storm screens and can discuss options for your porch; ordinary enclosure screening on its own is not intended to protect the home during a storm.

Questions
Porch enclosure FAQs
What is the difference between a porch enclosure and a lanai enclosure?
The terms overlap, but a porch is often a covered area at the front or side of the home, while a lanai is usually the covered living area at the back that opens to the yard or pool. Both can be screened, and the planning is similar.
Can you screen in an existing covered porch?
Yes. Most screen porch enclosures are built around an existing roof, columns and floor. We look at how the porch is built and plan the screen walls and framing to suit it.
Do I need a permit to enclose my porch?
It depends. Depending on the property, project scope and community, permitting and HOA approval may apply. We will discuss what your project is likely to involve during your estimate.
Will a screened porch change how my home looks from the street?
A front porch enclosure is visible, so we pay attention to how the framing lines up with existing columns and trim so the result looks like part of the house.
Can privacy screening be added to a porch?
Yes. Privacy screening can be included on porch walls where you would like more separation from the street or neighbors.
If your outdoor space is an open slab or paver area rather than a covered porch, see our patio enclosures.
