Serving Venice, FL and surrounding areas. (941) 477-1239
Mosquitoes and no-see-ums should not keep you out of your own backyard. We build screened enclosures that let in the Gulf breeze and keep out every bug, rain streak, and piece of debris.
Screened-in porches and screened decks in Venice involve enclosing an outdoor space with a coastal-grade aluminum frame and mesh screen, and most jobs take two to five days of active work once permits are in hand - longer if a new deck platform is built from scratch.
If you have a back patio or existing deck that goes unused because of bugs, heat, or debris, a screened enclosure is the single upgrade that most transforms daily life here in Venice. The mosquito and no-see-um season runs essentially twelve months a year this close to the Gulf, so this is less of a luxury and more of a practical fix. Many homeowners also consider a covered deck or patio cover at the same time to add shade to the project.
Every enclosure we build in Venice is fully permitted through Sarasota County, which means it passes an official inspection and you have the paperwork to prove it when you sell.
If mosquitoes or no-see-ums drive you inside every evening, that is the clearest sign a screened enclosure would change how you use your home. In Venice this is not a seasonal problem - it is year-round, especially near canals, retention ponds, and the Intracoastal. A screened space lets you enjoy the outdoor air you moved to Florida for.
If you are wiping down chairs every time you want to sit outside, an open deck is working against you. A screened enclosure keeps the space clean between uses, which means you will actually use it more. This is especially noticeable during Venice's spring pollen season when everything left outside turns yellow within a day.
If your current enclosure has torn screen, a bent frame, or doors that drag on the ground, it is time to assess whether repair or full replacement makes more sense. In Venice's salt-air environment, frames that have been neglected for more than a decade often have corrosion that makes patching individual panels a short-term fix at best.
In the Venice real estate market, a permitted screened enclosure is a recognized selling point - buyers who move here from northern states often specifically look for them. A well-built enclosure adds usable square footage that shows well in listing photos and gives you an edge over comparable homes without one.
We build screened enclosures from scratch and add screen structures onto existing decks and concrete slabs. For homeowners who want to protect an existing outdoor space quickly, attaching a screen enclosure to a solid existing deck is often the most efficient route. For homeowners building from the ground up, we combine new deck construction with the enclosure in one project - similar to our covered deck builds where a roof structure and screen walls come together as one outdoor room.
We also install freestanding screen rooms on slabs and work with homeowners who want partial screening - for example, a pool cage or a section of a larger porch. For homeowners adding a pergola who want insect protection, we often combine those two projects as well. Every project includes permit handling, material selection guidance for coastal conditions, and coordination with your HOA if applicable. If you are exploring further outdoor improvements, our pergola installation service pairs well with screen additions.
Ideal for homeowners who already have a solid deck and want to enclose it quickly with minimal structural work.
Best for homeowners building from scratch who want the full outdoor living space in one project.
Suits homeowners with pools who need a full-perimeter screen enclosure around the pool deck area.
Great for homes with a concrete patio slab that has never been used to its potential.
Venice sits on a barrier island surrounded by water on three sides, and the salt air coming off the Gulf is genuinely hard on standard materials. A contractor who does not account for coastal exposure will use aluminum frames and fasteners that rust within a few years. We specifically use coastal-grade hardware and mesh rated for salt-air environments - the kind of detail that separates an enclosure that lasts twenty years from one that starts falling apart in five. Sarasota County also enforces Florida's statewide wind-resistance requirements, which means every permitted enclosure we build is engineered to handle the storms that come with living on the Gulf Coast. We regularly serve homeowners in Nokomis who face the same coastal conditions, and the same standards apply to every project we do.
The other major Venice-specific factor is the insect problem. Standard window screen has openings large enough for no-see-ums to pass right through - a significant issue near the canals and retention ponds that run through many Venice neighborhoods. We guide every homeowner through mesh options, including finer no-see-um mesh and solar-blocking screen for west-facing porches that get brutal afternoon sun. For homeowners in planned communities around Sarasota Springs or Venice's many HOA-governed areas, we handle the approval documentation before a single post goes in the ground.
Reach out by phone or the contact form and we will ask a few basic questions - size of your deck or patio, whether you have an HOA, and what you want to accomplish. We reply within one business day and schedule a site visit.
We come to your home, measure the space, look at the existing structure, and walk through material options with you. A written estimate follows - no verbal numbers that later change.
Once you sign, we apply for the building permit on your behalf. This typically takes one to three weeks. You do not need to do anything during this stage except finalize material choices.
Most straightforward enclosures take two to five days of active work. A Sarasota County inspector verifies the finished structure, then we walk you through the space, show you how the doors and latches work, and leave the yard clean.
Free written estimate. We handle the Sarasota County permit. No obligation.
(941) 477-1239We use aluminum frames, fasteners, and screen mesh specifically rated for salt-air environments. Standard materials corrode quickly this close to the Gulf - we will not build something that starts failing in a few years.
We handle the Sarasota County permit application on every project. You get a passed inspection on file - documentation that protects you financially and legally, including at resale.
We have worked in Venice's planned communities and understand the design review processes at HOAs throughout the area. We help you prepare the right documentation before we break ground - no stop-work orders, no surprise letters from the association.
Many Venice homes were built in the 1970s through 1990s. We assess the existing deck or slab honestly before we start. If something needs to be addressed first, we tell you before signing, not mid-project as a change order. Industry standards for deck construction are published by the North American Deck and Railing Association.
Coastal-grade construction, permit compliance, and local knowledge are not extras we charge more for - they are how we build every project. That is why Venice homeowners who want their enclosure done right the first time call us.
