Screened Patios in Houston, TX
Strong Landscaping builds custom screened patios and enclosures that keep the mosquitoes out and the Gulf breeze in, so you can actually use your Houston backyard all summer. A screen enclosure stays open-air and airy, no glass and no A/C, just bug-free outdoor living. With 20+ years and 500+ projects across the Houston area, we frame, screen, and seal your patio so there is nowhere for bugs to sneak through.

In Houston, mosquitoes can make a patio unusable from spring through fall. A screened patio fixes that: tight mesh on a solid frame keeps bugs and blowing debris out while the breeze moves right through. It is the affordable, open-air favorite here, cheaper than a glass sunroom and far more comfortable than swatting bugs on an open patio. We build each one around your space, whether we are screening in a patio you already have or framing a new enclosure from the ground up.

How We Build a Screened Patio in Houston
01 Consultation & Site Evaluation
We start on your property with a free consultation. We check whether you already have a covered patio to screen in or need a new roof and frame, look at the floor and drainage, and talk through the bug and airflow problems you want solved.
02 Custom Design & Layout
We draw the enclosure in-house: the frame layout, where the screen door goes, and any fans or lights. We plan for airflow and clear sightlines to the yard, and we pick mesh based on your bug problem, so you see the layout before we build.
03 Materials, Screen & Proposal
We select powder-coated aluminum framing, UV-stable screen mesh, and any motorized or pet-grade screen options together, then present a clear, itemized proposal. You know exactly what your enclosure includes and what it costs before anyone breaks ground.
04 Permitted Build & Screening
We pull any City of Houston permits your scope needs, build or reinforce the frame, and install the screen with tight, sealed edges. If we are adding fans or lights, we use licensed electrical trades. A dedicated site lead oversees every detail, from the frame to the door hardware.
05 Final Walkthrough & Care
We check every seam and the screen door seal with you, and walk the finished enclosure together to make sure there are no gaps for bugs. Then we show you how to keep the screen and frame looking right through Houston summers, so it stays a space you use for years.

What Sets Our Screened Patios Apart
A screened patio is only worth it if the bugs actually stay out. We build enclosures with sealed frames, tight mesh, and a self-closing door so there are no gaps mosquitoes can find. With 20+ years in Houston and 500+ projects done, we build for our long bug season, heavy rain, and high wind, not a quick weekend job that sags in a year.
Houston Outdoor Living
Sealed to Keep Mosquitoes Out
We seal the frame, floor track, and door edges and hang a self-closing screen door, so mosquitoes and other Houston bugs have nowhere to sneak through.
Open-Air Comfort, Not a Glass Box
Screen mesh keeps the space open to the Gulf breeze, so you get airflow and shade without the cost or trapped heat of a glass enclosure.
Frames That Beat Gulf Weather
We use powder-coated aluminum and UV-stable mesh that resist Houston rust, sun, and rain, instead of cheap materials that sag or fade after one season.
Screened Patios Built for How Houston Lives Outside
A screened patio has to earn its keep in a place where mosquito season runs long. In Houston, our heat and humidity keep bugs active from spring well into fall, and an open patio often sits empty because of them. A sealed screen enclosure gives that space back: you get the breeze, the shade, and the yard view without the bites.
Materials and sealing are what make a screened patio last here. We build on powder-coated aluminum framing and hang UV-stable mesh that shrugs off Gulf sun, humidity, and heavy rain, instead of light materials that sag or tear. We seal every seam and fit a self-closing door so there are no gaps, and we can step up to finer mesh for heavy bug areas or pet-grade screen where it takes abuse. Often we screen in a covered patio you already have, which is the fastest, most affordable way to get the space bug-free.
Because Houston has no zoning but does require permits for structural and electrical work, we check what your project needs and pull the City of Houston permits, using licensed trades for any fans or lights. If you would rather have a glass, climate-controlled room you can heat and cool, a sunroom is the step up from a screened patio. Either way, you get a space built for how Houston really lives outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a screened-in patio cost in Houston?
Screened patio cost depends on the size, whether you are screening an existing covered patio or building a new roof and frame too, the framing material, and whether you add motorized screens or a screen door. Screening in a patio that already has a roof costs far less than building a full enclosure from scratch. That is why we give a free on-site consultation and an itemized quote before any work starts, so the price fits your plan. After 20+ years and 500+ projects in Houston, we can walk your space and give you an honest range the same visit.
Do screened enclosures keep mosquitoes out?
Yes. A properly built screen enclosure with tight mesh and a self-closing screen door keeps mosquitoes and other bugs off your patio while letting the breeze through. That is the whole point of a screened patio in Houston, where mosquito season runs long through our heat and humidity. We seal the frame, floor, and door edges so there are no gaps for bugs to slip through, and we can use finer mesh where insects are a bigger problem.
What is the difference between a screened patio and a sunroom?
A screened patio uses screen mesh, so it stays open-air: you get the breeze and keep the bugs out, but it is not heated or cooled. A sunroom uses glass walls and a solid roof and can be climate-controlled for year-round use. A screened patio costs less and keeps that outdoor feel, which is why it is the Houston bug-season favorite. If you want a glass, conditioned room instead, see our sunrooms page. Many homeowners pick a screened patio to enjoy the yard on summer evenings without the mosquitoes.
Can you screen in an existing covered patio?
Yes, and it is one of the most popular projects we do in Houston. If you already have a covered patio or porch with a solid roof, we can frame and screen the open sides, add a screen door, and seal the edges to make it bug-proof. It is usually faster and cheaper than building a new structure because the roof is already there. If your patio is not covered yet, we can build the cover and the screen enclosure together.
Do I need a permit for a patio screen enclosure in Houston?
It depends on the scope. Screening in an existing covered patio often needs little or no permitting, but building a new roof or structure to screen usually requires a City of Houston permit, and any electrical for fans or lights does too. Houston has no zoning, but permits and licensed trades are still required for structural and electrical work. If you are in a master-planned community, your HOA or deed restrictions may need to approve the plans. We check what your project needs and handle the permits for you.
What screen material holds up in Houston weather?
We use UV-stable screen mesh on a powder-coated aluminum frame, which resists Houston sun, humidity, and rust far better than cheap materials that sag or fade after a season. For heavy bug areas we can use finer mesh, and for pets or high-traffic spots we can use tougher pet-grade screen. Motorized or retractable screens are an option too if you want to open the space up. We match the screen and frame to how you use the patio and to our Gulf Coast weather.
