Patio Screen Enclosures in Brevard & Indian River County, FL
A patio screen enclosure surrounds your patio with aluminum-framed screen walls — and a screen door — so you get the breeze, the view, and the Florida evenings without the mosquitoes, no-see-ums, leaves, and harsh sun that make an open patio hard to use. Whether your patio sits under your home's existing roof or needs a screened structure built over it, we design, engineer, permit, and install the enclosure — built to Florida's wind-load code and the salt-and-sun reality of living on the Space Coast.
We've screened patios across Brevard and Indian River County — Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera, Merritt Island, Rockledge, Titusville, and down through Sebastian and Vero Beach — as part of 7,000+ completed projects since 2020.
What is a Patio Screen Enclosure?
It's the classic Florida upgrade: your existing patio, enclosed with powder-coated aluminum framing and screen mesh on the open sides, with a self-latching screen door. If your patio is already covered by your home's roof, we screen in the openings and you're done — the fastest, most affordable version. If your patio is open to the sky, we build the screened structure over it, engineered and permitted for your location's wind-load. Either way, the patio you already have becomes a room you'll actually use.
Why screen your patio in Central Florida?
The Bugs Lose
Mosquitoes at dusk and the no-see-ums near the water are the #1 reason our customers call. With the right mesh, both stay outside.
Less Cleaning, Less Wear
Screens keep out leaves, love bugs, and wind-blown debris, so your patio furniture and floors stop needing constant attention.
Sun and Comfort
Screen takes the edge off the glare and heat, and solar mesh options cut more — your patio stays usable at midday, not just at sunrise.
Usable Square Footage
A screened patio reads as real outdoor living space to Florida buyers.
Built for Storms
Enclosures are engineered to the Florida Building Code wind-load for your address and anchored accordingly — the screen is the replaceable layer; the structure is what's protected.
Choose Your Screen Mesh
Standard 18x14 Fiberglass
Great airflow and visibility; blocks mosquitoes and larger insects.
No-see-um mesh (20x20)
The finer weave that stops the tiny biting midges standard screen misses; the usual right answer near the river or beach.
Solar Mesh
Cuts more heat and glare on west-facing patios.
Pet-Resistant (Tuffscreen)
Shrugs off claws; see our Tuffscreen page.
Privacy Mesh
Seclusion on close lots without losing the breeze.
How Much Does a Patio Screen Enclosure Cost?
Most patio screen enclosures in our area run $2,000-10,000, depending on:
Size and number of openings being screened
Existing roof vs. new structure — screening under your roof costs far less than building a screened structure over an open patio
Mesh choice — no-see-um, solar, pet, or privacy upgrades
Doors and hardware
Engineering and permits where a new structure is involved

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to screen my patio?
If we're screening openings under your existing roof, no permit is required. If we're building a screened structure over an open patio, yes — engineered drawings and inspection, which we handle.
Will it keep out no-see-ums?
With 20x20 no-see-um mesh, yes — standard screen won't. Near the lagoon or beach it's the upgrade we recommend most.
Can you enclose a patio that has no roof?
Yes — we build the screened structure over it, engineered to your address's wind-load. That's a bigger project than screening under an existing roof, and we'll tell you honestly which yours is at the estimate.
How long does installation take?
Our current timeline — screen-ins are about 1-3 weeks vs.engineered builds are about 2-3 months.
