Patio Enclosures

What Is a Patio Enclosure?

A patio enclosure transforms your existing open patio into a protected living space. Instead of dealing with bugs, rain, harsh sun, or blowing leaves, you get a comfortable area where you can relax and entertain in any weather. It's one of the smartest ways to get more use out of your outdoor space without starting from scratch.

Here's how it works: we add walls of glass or screen around your existing patio, creating an enclosed room. You keep the outdoor feel with plenty of natural light and views of your yard, but you're protected from the elements. Your patio furniture stays cleaner, you don't need bug spray, and you can use the space even when it's raining.

At FramePro Clearwater Sunrooms, we've been installing patio enclosures in Clearwater since 2024. We know exactly how to work with your existing patio to create an enclosure that looks great, functions perfectly, and lasts for years. Whether you have a concrete slab, pavers, or a raised deck, we can design an enclosure that fits.

Benefits of Enclosing Your Patio

Enclosing your patio is a cost-effective way to add functional living space to your home. Here are the benefits our Clearwater customers love most:

• Protection from the elements: Rain, wind, and harsh sun won't force you inside anymore. You can use your patio space in weather conditions that would normally ruin an outdoor gathering.
• Bug-free outdoor living: Florida has mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other pests that make outdoor time miserable. An enclosed patio keeps them out while you enjoy fresh air and outdoor views.
• Lower cost than building new: Enclosing an existing patio costs significantly less than building a sunroom or home addition from scratch. You already have the foundation and floor, so you're just adding walls and a roof.
• More usable space: An open patio might sit unused for months because of weather or bugs. An enclosed patio becomes a room you use almost every day.
• Increases home value: Buyers love outdoor living space that's actually usable. A well-built patio enclosure is an attractive feature that sets your home apart.

Many homeowners tell us they wish they had enclosed their patio years earlier. It's one of those home improvements that pays for itself in enjoyment and increased home value.

Types of Patio Enclosures We Build

Not all patio enclosures are the same. We offer several options to match your needs and budget:

Screen Enclosures: These use aluminum frames with durable screen panels. They keep out bugs and debris while allowing fresh air to flow through. Screen enclosures are the most affordable option and work great for most of the year in Clearwater. Many homeowners choose screen room enclosures for casual outdoor living.

Glass Enclosures: These use insulated glass panels instead of screens. You get protection from wind and rain, better temperature control, and a more finished appearance. Glass enclosures work well if you want to use the space as a three-season sunroom.

Combination Enclosures: Many homeowners choose a mix of glass and screen panels. This gives you flexibility: screens for ventilation when you want it, glass for protection when you need it. Some designs include removable panels so you can adjust the enclosure based on the season.

Four-Season Conversions: If you want year-round comfort with heating and cooling, we can build a fully insulated enclosure that functions as a four-season sunroom. This option costs more but gives you genuine living space that adds to your home's square footage.

During your free consultation, we'll discuss these options and help you understand which type makes the most sense for how you plan to use the space and what you want to spend.

Our Patio Enclosure Installation Process

We've streamlined our installation process to make enclosing your patio as easy as possible:

Step 1: Site Assessment

We start by examining your existing patio. We measure everything, check the foundation and drainage, and evaluate your home's exterior to ensure proper attachment. We'll discuss how you want to use the space and what features matter most to you. This helps us design the right enclosure for your needs.

Step 2: Design and Quote

We prepare detailed drawings showing exactly what your enclosed patio will look like. You'll see the layout, materials, and finishes before we start. We provide a complete quote breaking down all costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges. If you want changes, we'll revise the design until it's perfect.

Step 3: Permits and Scheduling

We handle all permit applications and coordinate with the local building department. We schedule your installation for a time that works with your calendar. Most patio enclosures take one to two weeks to complete, depending on size and complexity.

Step 4: Professional Installation

Our experienced crew builds your enclosure using quality materials and proven methods. We attach the structure securely to your home, install the walls and roof, add any electrical work you want, and clean up thoroughly when we're done. We treat your property with respect and keep disruption to a minimum.
