Patio Enclosures

Transform your existing patio into a protected living space you can enjoy year-round with a custom patio enclosure built for Lubbock homes.

Your existing patio probably sits empty most of the year because of wind, bugs, or uncomfortable temperatures. A patio enclosure changes that by turning your underused outdoor space into a comfortable room you can actually enjoy. We specialize in patio enclosure installation that adds functional square footage to your home without the cost and hassle of a full room addition.

Patio enclosures work especially well in Lubbock because you already have the foundation. We build walls and a roof over your existing concrete patio, creating an enclosed space that protects you from wind, dust, insects, and weather. You choose how much glass versus screening you want, giving you control over ventilation and climate control based on how you plan to use the space.

Types of Patio Enclosures We Build

Not all patio enclosures are the same. We offer several options depending on your budget and how you want to use the space. Some homeowners want a simple screen room for bug-free outdoor living, while others prefer a fully enclosed space with glass windows and climate control.

Here are the most popular patio enclosure options:

  • Screen Enclosures: Aluminum framing with screening material that keeps bugs out while maintaining airflow and views.
  • Three-Season Glass Enclosures: Single-pane windows that provide wind and weather protection for use during mild months.
  • Four-Season Insulated Enclosures: Fully insulated with dual-pane glass and HVAC for comfortable year-round use.
  • Combination Enclosures: Mix of glass panels and screens, sometimes with removable or sliding glass for flexible use.
  • Retractable Systems: Panels that open completely when weather is nice and close for protection when needed.

Why Enclose Your Patio

An enclosed patio gives you usable square footage without the expense of building a foundation or dealing with complex structural work. Since your patio already exists, we are essentially adding walls and a roof to space you already have. This makes patio enclosures one of the most cost-effective ways to expand your living area.

The benefits go beyond just having more space. West Texas wind can make outdoor living uncomfortable even on nice days. Dust storms, which are common in Lubbock, make open patios unusable during certain times of the year. An enclosed patio lets you enjoy outdoor views and fresh air when you want it, but you can close things up when the weather turns bad or when bugs become a problem.

Popular Uses for Enclosed Patios

Homeowners use enclosed patios for many purposes:

  • Outdoor dining room for family meals
  • Entertainment space for hosting guests
  • Home gym with natural light and ventilation
  • Home office separated from main living areas
  • Playroom for kids with easy outdoor access
  • Relaxation space with views of your backyard

What to Expect During Installation

Installing a patio enclosure is faster and simpler than building a room addition because the foundation already exists. We start by inspecting your patio to make sure it is in good condition and properly sloped for drainage. Then we design an enclosure that matches your home's style and meets your functional needs.

The installation process typically takes one to three weeks depending on the size and complexity. We attach the framing to your home's exterior wall, install vertical posts on the patio perimeter, add the roof system, and then install your choice of windows or screening. Electrical work for lights, outlets, and fans can be included if you want them. If you are looking for something similar but different, you might also consider a sunroom installation for more options.
