Patio Enclosures

Turn Your Patio Into Usable Space

A patio enclosure takes your existing outdoor patio and transforms it into a protected area where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy your backyard without dealing with bugs, wind, rain, or harsh sun. It is one of the most popular projects for homeowners in Harlingen because it makes your outdoor space usable far more often.

Think about how often you skip using your patio because it is too hot, too buggy, or looks like rain might be coming. A patio enclosure solves all of that. You get the feel of being outdoors with none of the downsides. You can leave furniture out year-round without worrying about it getting ruined. You can sit outside during mosquito season without getting eaten alive. You can enjoy a meal on your patio even when the wind is kicking up dust.

Patio enclosures come in different styles depending on how much protection you want. Some are fully enclosed with glass panels, similar to a sunroom. Others use screens to keep bugs out while still allowing airflow. Some combine both, giving you sliding glass panels that you can open or close as needed. We help you choose the right setup for your needs and budget.

Why Harlingen Homeowners Enclose Their Patios

If you already have a patio, you know how nice it can be on perfect days. But in South Texas, perfect days are not always common. Between the heat, humidity, bugs, and occasional storms, your patio probably sits empty more than you would like. A patio enclosure changes that. Here is what you gain:

• •Bug-free enjoyment: No more mosquitoes, flies, or wasps interrupting your outdoor time
• •Weather protection: Stay dry during rain, comfortable during wind, and shaded from intense sun
• •Extended outdoor season: Use your patio more months out of the year without discomfort
• •Furniture protection: Leave your patio furniture outside without worrying about fading, mold, or damage
• •Added home value: An enclosed patio is a feature that buyers appreciate when it comes time to sell
• •More entertaining space: Host gatherings without worrying about the weather forecast

A patio enclosure gives you the best of both worlds. You get to be outside without actually dealing with outdoor problems. It is a practical upgrade that makes your home more comfortable and functional.

Types of Patio Enclosures We Install

Screen Enclosures

Screen enclosures use durable mesh screens to keep bugs out while allowing fresh air to flow through. This is the most budget-friendly option and works great if your main goal is keeping mosquitoes and flies away. You still feel the breeze, but you are protected from pests. If you want something similar but with more structure, check out our dedicated screen rooms.

Glass Enclosures

Glass enclosures provide full weather protection with solid glass panels. This gives you a space that feels like an extension of your home. You can add heating or cooling, use it year-round, and enjoy clear views without any mesh obstructing your sightlines. This option is more similar to a full sunroom but built on your existing patio foundation.

Combination Enclosures

Many homeowners choose a combination enclosure that includes both screens and glass panels. You can open the glass panels when you want airflow and close them when you need protection from wind, rain, or cold. This gives you maximum flexibility and lets you adjust the space depending on the season and weather.

How We Install Your Patio Enclosure

The great thing about patio enclosures is that they use your existing patio slab, which saves time and money compared to building a new room from scratch. We start by measuring your patio and discussing what type of enclosure works best for your goals and budget.

Next, we install the framing, which is typically powder-coated aluminum that will not rust or require painting. The frame is anchored securely to your patio and the exterior of your home. Then we install the screens or glass panels, depending on your choice. If you are adding glass, we use tempered safety glass that can handle impacts and temperature changes.

For the roof, we can match your existing patio cover or build a new insulated roof if you want more weather protection. We also add doors so you can access the space from your home and your backyard. Most patio enclosure projects take one to two weeks to complete, and we clean up thoroughly when we are done.

Throughout the process, we keep you updated on progress and make sure the work is done to your satisfaction. You are left with a beautiful enclosed space that looks like it was always part of your home.
