Warranty & Durability
For every project we use 304 stainless steel screws, chosen for their exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term strength so your entry enclosure remains securely anchored through years of sun, humidity, and salty air. Paired with precision-engineered aluminum enclosure profiles, finished to resist UV damage and wear, our materials are selected specifically for coastal and Florida climates where durability matters most.
We stand behind our workmanship and materials: screws are covered by a lifetime warranty, and the aluminum enclosure carries a 10-year warranty—so you get less upkeep, fewer worries, and a structure that keeps its looks and performance over time.
The result is a low-maintenance, high-confidence solution that protects your outdoor living space and preserves the value of your home. Contact us today for a free inspection and quote—let's design an entry enclosure built to last.

Design Your Entryway Custom Doors & Add-Ons
Your entry enclosure is built to order: decorative doors with keyed locks and handles, powder-coat finishes in white, bronze, or black, and the add-ons below — plus transoms and arched tops for custom openings.
Decorative Screen Doors
Custom decorative doors with keyed locks and handles available — in white, bronze, or black powder-coat to match your home.
Kick Plates
Solid lower panels that protect the screen where feet, paws, and packages hit it most.
Pet Doors
A built-in pet door lets dogs and cats come and go without clawing the mesh.
Privacy Panels
Frosted or dense-mesh panels on the sides of your entry for privacy without losing airflow.
Every Kind of Front Entry, One System
Covered, open, or oversized — the enclosure is engineered to your entry, not the other way around.
Covered & Recessed Entries
The most straightforward build: screen panels and door mount to your existing roof or portico — most of these installs finish in one day.
Open Entries with a Custom Top
No cover over the door? We design a custom top with transoms or arched designs, engineered to Florida code in powder-coated aluminum.
Double-Door & Oversized Entries
Wide and custom openings get a made-to-measure frame — oversized designs can take longer than a day, and your estimate says exactly how long.
Professional Installation vs. DIY Kit
A front entry enclosure looks like a weekend project — until the opening isn't square, the county wants drawings, or the kit's screws meet salt air. Here's the honest comparison:

Are front entry enclosures worth it in Florida?
Front entry enclosures are a practical upgrade in Florida: most install in one day and carry a 10-year aluminum warranty plus a lifetime warranty on 304 stainless steel screws. They keep mosquitoes out, let you open the front door for airflow, and add curb appeal. A free on-site estimate shows what your entryway needs.
What materials are used for front entry enclosures?
Front entry enclosures are built with powder-coated aluminum framing, UV-resistant finishes, and 304 stainless steel screws covered by a lifetime warranty. Screen options include fiberglass or polyester mesh, decorative doors, and Clear View panels for an open look. The aluminum structure itself carries a 10-year warranty against Florida sun, humidity, and salt air.
Can I customize my front entry enclosure design?
Front entry enclosures can be customized with decorative doors, transoms, arched tops, powder-coated finishes in white, bronze, or black, and screen types for privacy or high visibility. Our process starts with a free estimate and a personalized layout, and every design is engineered to meet Florida code. Serving Sarasota and West Coast Florida.
Will a screen enclosure increase my home's value?
A front entry screen enclosure adds curb appeal and a finished, protected entryway — features many Florida buyers look for. Durable materials support that value: the aluminum structure carries a 10-year warranty and the 304 stainless steel screws a lifetime warranty, so the upgrade holds up. Request a free on-site estimate to see options for your home.
How long does installation take?
Most front entry screen enclosure installations are completed in one day. Custom or oversized designs — arched tops, transoms, Clear View panels — can take longer, and your free estimate includes a step-by-step timeline before work begins. We respond to quote requests within 24 hours across Sarasota and West Coast Florida.
Do I need a permit to install a front entry screen enclosure in Florida?
Small front entry screen enclosures often do not require a permit in Florida, but rules vary by county and city. As a licensed contractor (CGC 1535725), we check local codes on every project so your enclosure meets Florida code before installation. Your free on-site estimate confirms exactly what your address requires.
Do I need HOA approval for a front entry screen enclosure?
Many Florida communities do ask for HOA or ARB sign-off on front entry changes, since the enclosure faces the street. Rules vary by community — most boards want to see colors, materials, and dimensions. Your free estimate documents all three: powder-coated aluminum in white, bronze, or black, with exact measurements for your application.
Can you screen an entry that already has a roof or portico?
Yes — a covered or recessed entry is the most straightforward enclosure to build: the screen panels and door mount to the existing structure, and most of these installs finish in one day. Open entries can add a custom top with transoms or arched designs. A free on-site estimate confirms what your entry needs.
Do you rescreen existing front entry enclosures?
Yes — if the aluminum frame of your entry enclosure is sound, we replace worn or torn mesh with your choice of screen, from standard fiberglass to 12-year Super Screen polyester. Rescreening is faster and costs far less than a full rebuild. Request a free estimate and we will confirm whether your frame qualifies.
