What Is a Front Entry Enclosure?
A Front Entry Enclosure is a screened-in structure installed around your home’s main entry door. It creates a protected, breezy space between the outdoors and indoors. Homeowners love it because it:
1. Keeps mosquitoes and insects away from the front door
2. Allows you to open your door for fresh air without letting pests in
3. Adds security with a screened locking door
4. Protects your entry area from leaves, debris, and wildlife
5. Enhances curb appeal and home value
In Florida, front entry enclosures are one of the most-requested home upgrades thanks to the climate, lifestyle, and year-round outdoor living.
