Process
How it works
Whether you’re planning a new enclosure or fixing an old one, the approach is the same: look carefully, put the scope in writing, then do the work.
New enclosures and replacements
Your request
Tell us the project type, your ZIP code and how to reach you. Rough dimensions and what you want to change help.
A conversation
A person reviews your request and contacts you to understand the goals, the space and any HOA rules.
Site review and measurements
We measure the deck or patio and the house attachment, and check the slab or footing area, drainage and access.
Design options and a written scope
Roof shape, frame color, screen types, doors, footing work and exclusions, in writing, with pricing.
Approvals
HOA review where required, then engineered drawings and a permit when the jurisdiction requires them.
Construction, inspection and walkthrough
Footing work if needed, the frame, screen and doors, required inspections, then a walkthrough.
Rescreening and repairs
Your request and photos
Project type, ZIP code and a phone number; we may ask for a few photos taken from the ground.
Condition check
We look at the frame, fasteners and doors as well as the screen, because new screen on a failing frame is money poorly spent.
A written scope
What’s included, which screen goes where, and anything found that needs a separate decision.
The work
Rescreening, panel repairs or door and hardware work as scoped, with care around the pool.
Walkthrough
We review the finished work with you, including how the doors close and latch.
Before we talk
Helpful to have ready
- Photos of the space or enclosure from each corner, taken from the ground
- Rough dimensions, if you have them
- Your HOA’s architectural guidelines, if you have an HOA
- For new enclosures, a property survey showing setbacks and easements, if handy
- For existing enclosures, any permit paperwork from the original installation
- Notes on pets, gate codes or access that will affect the visit
In writing
What the written scope covers
- Dimensions, roof shape and frame color
- Screen type for each area: roof, upper walls, lower panels and doors
- Doors and hardware
- Footing or deck work, and what happens to pavers along the footing line
- Permits, engineering and HOA drawings, and who handles each
- Removal and disposal, cleanup and the walkthrough
- What is not included
Approvals
Permits, engineering and inspections
New enclosures and structural work are typically built to engineered drawings and inspected by the local building department. Like-for-like rescreening is often treated as maintenance.
Permit rules differ between city and county building departments and depend on the exact scope, so we confirm what applies to your address before work begins.
If your address has a mailing city but sits in unincorporated county land, the county reviews the permit. See service areas for examples.
About timing
We don’t publish timelines or response times. Engineering, permit review, HOA schedules, weather and material availability all vary. You’ll get a realistic schedule for your project once those are known, and demand after major storms can stretch everything.
After the work
- A walkthrough covering door operation and basic screen care
- Permit close-out when a permit was required
- Care guidance: gentle rinsing, no pressure washing at close range, no climbing
Start with a short request
Name, phone, ZIP code and project type are enough. We’ll take it from there.
