Enclosing a patio or adding a sunroom to get more usable living space without a full addition.
Sunroom addition, patio enclosure and screened porch conversion each turn outdoor living space into something more usable, at different price points and levels of year-round comfort. For Southwest Louisiana homeowners, the choice between screened, three-season and fully conditioned options usually comes down to how the space will be used across a Gulf Coast summer and winter.
Southwest Louisiana sun, humidity and storms shape what materials and glazing make sense.
A screened enclosure costs less but is not usable in every season. A fully conditioned sunroom costs more but extends your living space year-round.
Standard single-pane glass gets hot fast in Gulf Coast sun. Low-E glazing keeps a sunroom more comfortable.
Enclosures need to meet current Louisiana wind-load requirements, especially for glazing and attachment to the home.
The enclosure needs a foundation approach that matches your home's existing slab or pier-and-beam structure.
We assess your existing patio or porch and discuss enclosure options.
Plans are drawn and permits pulled where required.
Slab or footing work is completed to match the addition.
Walls, roof and window or screen systems are installed.
Electrical, flooring and trim complete the space.
We walk the finished enclosure with you before calling it done.
A conditioned, four-season sunroom costs meaningfully more than a screened porch enclosure.
Low-E, impact-rated glass costs more than standard glazing.
Larger enclosures cost more in both foundation and glazing.
A complex roof connection to the existing home adds labor.
