Creating a comfortable, usable outdoor living space is a priority for many homeowners—especially in Florida, where outdoor living is a way of life. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you could enjoy your patio or backyard more often, a screen enclosure may be the perfect solution.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help homeowners transform patios, pools, and lanais into functional, comfortable extensions of their homes. Below are some clear signs it may be time to consider adding a screen enclosure.
Mosquitoes, flies, and other pests can make outdoor relaxation nearly impossible. A screen enclosure creates a protective barrier that allows you to enjoy fresh air without constant bug spray or interruptions.
Strong sun, sudden rain, or gusty winds can keep you indoors more than you’d like. A screen enclosure helps:
This allows you to enjoy your outdoor space in more weather conditions throughout the year.
If your patio or backyard feels exposed, a screen enclosure adds a sense of privacy while still maintaining an open, airy feel—perfect for relaxing without feeling on display.

For pet owners, screen enclosures provide a secure outdoor area where pets can enjoy fresh air without the risk of wandering off or encountering hazards.
Modern screen enclosures are designed to complement your home’s architecture. With multiple styles and finishes available, they can significantly enhance curb appeal and overall aesthetics.
