Screening in your covered porch—or adding a separate roofed screen room—can transform your home. Not only does it add value and extend your usable living space, but it also might just become your favorite room in the house.
Does a Screen Room Add Value to Your Home?
A screened porch or roofed screen room does more than provide a bug-free retreat—it boosts your home’s curb appeal and resale value. With custom designs featuring beautiful hand-stained wood and tailored color options, a high-end screen room has a great return on investment.
Increased Square Footage Without Permits
A screened room adds significant usable square footage without the hassle of permits. Whether you envision a dining area, a hammock haven, or a cozy spot for morning coffee, the extra space makes your home more functional and attractive to buyers. And thanks to the minimal light blockage of the screen, these rooms are bathed in natural sunlight, making every day brighter.
Insect & Pest Protection
One of the biggest reasons people invest in a screen room is simple: no more mosquitoes, wasps, or other annoying pests. Austin’s warm climate makes outdoor living enjoyable—but also makes it a breeding ground for bugs. A screened-in space allows you to enjoy fresh air and nature without constantly swatting away insects or worrying about unwanted critters sneaking in.
Beyond comfort, a bug-free space makes outdoor meals, evening relaxation, and quiet afternoons more enjoyable. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or hosting a dinner party, you’ll never have to worry about a fly landing in your drink again.
Enhancing Your Daily Life
Practicality meets comfort in a well-designed screen room. Our customers use theirs almost every day—whether it’s wrapping up in a blanket during cooler months or enjoying a cup of coffee on a warm morning.
Multi-Seasonal Use
A screened porch isn’t just for summer. It creates a comfortable outdoor space you can use across multiple seasons. With Austin’s mild winters and long springs and autumns, this space gives you a way to enjoy fresh air without the extremes of heat or cold. People in Florida figured this out a long time ago, and it’s about time Austinites did too!
Extending Your Living Space
Imagine seamlessly adding 100 or more square feet of bug-free space to your home—an area that still lets in the sounds, smells, and sunlight of your yard. That’s exactly what a screen room offers.
Transforming Your Screened Space
Our customers have turned their screened porches into:
- Hosting rooms
- Dining spaces

- Dedicated “Catios” for their furry friends
Whether you want a lively space for social gatherings or a quiet retreat for reading and relaxing, a screened room can be customized to fit your lifestyle.
Versatility & Customization
One of the best aspects of a screened porch is its flexibility. Every home and every homeowner has unique needs, and we build our screen rooms to match them.
Design Options to Fit Your Needs
- Minimalist Designs: If keeping an open, airy feel is the priority, we can design a structure that preserves as much of the view as possible.
- Functional Builds: If you want to incorporate shelving, storage, pet-friendly features, or even an outdoor workspace, we can add those custom touches.
- Custom Finishes: From wood stain to paint colors that match your home’s aesthetic, your screen room can blend seamlessly with the rest of your home.
Whether you need a peaceful retreat, an all-weather play area for kids, or an enclosed space for pets to enjoy the outdoors safely, a screen room adapts to your vision.
Year-Round Enjoyment
A screened porch isn’t just for one season—it’s a space that can be enjoyed year-round.
Seasonal Benefits
- Spring & Fall: These are prime months for enjoying a screen room. You get the perfect balance of sunshine, fresh air, and cool breezes without dealing with pollen, leaves, or bugs.
- Summer: Even in Austin’s heat, a screen room provides shade and airflow, making it a great spot for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or an outdoor workspace. Add a ceiling fan, and you’ve got a refreshing escape from the sun.
- Winter: With a small outdoor heater or just a cozy blanket, a screen room can still be used comfortably on chilly days.
