Florida homeowners love outdoor living—but insects can quickly ruin the experience. Screening an existing porch is one of the most effective ways to create a bug-free outdoor space while maintaining airflow, visibility, and comfort.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help homeowners transform open porches into screened-in porches designed for relaxation, entertaining, and year-round enjoyment.
To screen an existing porch, you assess the structure, choose durable screen materials, install aluminum framing, and secure screens tightly for long-lasting insect protection.
Start by evaluating your porch’s condition, layout, and materials. Address any repairs or upgrades before adding screens to ensure a strong foundation.
Our team can assess your porch and recommend improvements before installing a screen porch enclosure.
The screen you choose determines airflow, visibility, and insect protection. Popular options include:
You can screen the entire porch or focus on specific areas like seating or dining spaces. Screens are typically installed in existing openings for a seamless look.
Frames are critical for both strength and appearance. Aluminum frames are the preferred choice in Florida due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance.
While DIY projects are possible, professional installation ensures:
Professional installation also extends the life of your screened porch.
Before installation, clean the area thoroughly and address any structural issues. A clean, stable porch leads to better results.
Screens must be stretched tightly and secured properly to maintain durability and appearance. Precision installation prevents sagging and premature wear.
Enhance your screened porch enclosure with:
