01 / 05

Motorized or fixed-panel? The honest answer.

A fixed-panel screen enclosure is a permanent, framed screened room: lower cost, simple, and always in place. It is the right call when you want the space screened all the time and you do not need it to open back up.

Motorized screen systems, such as MagnaTrack, retract fully out of sight at the push of a button. On a pleasant evening the patio is wide open. When the mosquitoes come out at dusk, the screens drop in seconds. If you want both an open patio and a screened room from the same space, motorized is worth the upgrade.

02 / 05

Screen what you have, or build it new.

If you already have a solid covered patio with sound posts and a finished slab, screening it in is often a quick, high-impact project. We assess the structure and frame the screen system cleanly into the cover you already own.

If you do not have a cover yet, we design and build the patio cover and the screen enclosure together as one project, so the roofline, posts, and screen system are engineered as a single outdoor room from the start.

03 / 05

Built for Texas mosquitoes, heat, and dusk.

The reason most San Antonio homeowners screen a patio is simple: they want to use it at dusk without the mosquitoes. We detail the bottom track, door sweeps, and corners so the enclosure actually seals, with no gaps for insects to find.

A screen also cuts direct sun glare and, paired with ceiling fans, keeps air moving through the hottest part of the day. A motorized system gives you the best of both: an open patio when the weather is kind and a sealed room when it is not.

04 / 05

Lighting, fans, and comfort wired in from day one.

A screened porch is an outdoor living room, and we wire it like one: recessed lights on dimmers, ceiling fans rated for outdoor humidity, optional speakers, and a dedicated circuit for an outdoor TV or a future kitchen, all routed through conduit you will never see.

We map the layout on your patio during the consultation so every fixture lines up with how you actually plan to use the room after dark.

05 / 05

HOA, permits, and inspections handled for you.

Any new roofed structure requires a City of San Antonio permit, and most HOAs across Stone Oak, Cibolo, Schertz, Helotes, and Fair Oaks Ranch require an Architectural Control Committee review. We confirm exactly what your project needs.

We prepare the HOA package, pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and hand you the closeout paperwork at the walkthrough. The approvals are part of the job, not your homework.

How we work

Four predictable steps. Same for every project.

  • 1

    Consultation

    We meet at your home, walk the backyard, and listen to how you actually want to use the space. A real conversation about the project, with no pressure and no hard sell.

  • 2

    Design and scope planning

    We sketch the layout in place, talk through structure and elevation, and define a clear written scope so everyone knows exactly what is being built.

  • 3

    Material selections

    We bring real material samples to your home and compare them in your own light. Composite versus cedar, roof options, railings, and finishes, chosen with you, not guessed.

  • 4

    HOA and permit coordination

    When your project needs HOA approval or a city permit, we prepare the submission package and handle the back-and-forth so you are not chasing paperwork.

  • 5

    Build and progress updates

    A tight, trusted crew builds the project on a written schedule. You get regular progress updates, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
