How much does a screen room cost?

Screen room costs typically range from $5,000 to $20,000 depending on size, materials, and features. Screen rooms offer excellent value because they add functional living space at a fraction of the cost of traditional room additions.

Can screen rooms withstand Mission, TX weather?

Yes, we build screen rooms specifically designed for Texas weather conditions. We use sturdy aluminum framing that resists rust and corrosion. The roofing materials withstand high winds, heavy rain, and intense sun exposure. With proper installation and minimal maintenance, your screen room will last for many years.

What is the difference between a screen room and a screened porch?

The terms are often used interchangeably. A screened porch typically refers to screening added to an existing covered porch attached to your house. A screen room can be a standalone structure or an addition built specifically as an enclosed outdoor space. Both serve the same basic purpose of providing bug-free outdoor living.

What is a Screen Room?

A screen room is an outdoor living space enclosed with mesh screening instead of glass windows. It gives you protection from insects, leaves, and light debris while allowing fresh air to flow freely through the space. Think of it as a protective barrier between you and nature that keeps the annoying parts out while letting you enjoy all the good parts.

Screen rooms work perfectly in Mission, TX where we have long stretches of beautiful weather but also deal with mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs. You can sit outside on summer evenings without constantly swatting insects. You can leave the door open without worrying about bugs getting into your main house. Your kids can play outside while staying protected.

Unlike three-season sunrooms that use glass windows, screen rooms focus on maximum airflow and simplicity. They cost less to build, require less maintenance, and give you that true outdoor feeling. Many homeowners prefer screen rooms because they feel more connected to their backyard while still having a defined, comfortable space.

Screen Room Design Options

We customize every screen room to match your home and meet your specific needs. Here are popular features and options.

Size and Layout

Screen rooms can be any size, from small 10x10 spaces to large 20x30 rooms or bigger. We design the layout based on your available space and how you plan to use it. Some homeowners want a simple rectangular room, while others prefer L-shaped or wraparound designs that follow their existing deck or patio.

Roofing

You can choose a solid roof for complete rain protection or a screen roof for maximum openness. Solid roofs are more popular in Mission because they provide shade and keep the space dry during rain. We use durable roofing materials that match your home exterior and withstand Texas weather.

Screening Materials

We use high-quality screening that resists tears and holds up to wind and weather. Standard fiberglass screens work well for most applications. If you have pets or want extra durability, we also offer heavy-duty pet-resistant screening that stands up to scratches and impact.

Door Options

Choose from hinged screen doors, sliding screen doors, or retractable doors. We position doors based on traffic flow and how you access the space from your house and yard. Quality doors with smooth operation make using your screen room more convenient.

Flooring

Your screen room can be built over an existing deck, patio, or new concrete foundation. We help you decide which foundation works best based on your property and budget. The right foundation keeps your screen room level and stable for decades.

If you need help deciding between a screen room and a patio enclosure, we can explain the differences and recommend the best option for your situation and budget.

Perfect Uses for Your Screen Room

Screen rooms work for all kinds of activities. Here are some popular ways Mission homeowners use their screen rooms.

Many people turn their screen rooms into outdoor dining areas. You can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner outside without dealing with flies landing on your food. Some homeowners set up comfortable seating areas with sofas and chairs for relaxing with a book or watching TV. Others create play spaces for kids where they can enjoy fresh air safely.

Screen rooms also work great as exercise spaces, home offices, hobby rooms, or entertaining areas. The natural light and fresh air make any activity more pleasant. You are not stuck inside breathing stale air, but you are also not fighting bugs and weather. It is the perfect middle ground.
