Plan your new pool cage or screened patio.

What the visit settles

Know what the quote covers.

We check the proposed footprint and roof connection, the surface that will support the enclosure, and the permit needs for the property's location and scope.

See more photos of the pool enclosure shown above.

Ask each bidder to name the screen and fasteners in writing so you can compare what the price covers. At SES, that means Phifer screen and stainless fasteners. If you are choosing between a more open view and tighter mesh for small insects, our screen guide helps you compare the options before the visit. We can check the fit for your enclosure on site. Our quote-comparison checklist covers roof, base work, permits, and exclusions too.

Questions we work through on site
Footprint and openings Where will the enclosure walls and doors go, and how many sides need screening?
Roof and connection Will this use a screen roof, a pan or composite roof, or the home's existing roof?
Base and footing Can the layout use the existing slab or pavers, or does it call for new base or footing work?
Permit path Which city or county reviews the work, and what does this particular scope require?

Before the site visit

Have these details handy if you already have them.

You do not need to draw plans before calling. These details help us discuss the layout and check the right permit path after we see the property:

  • A survey or site plan showing the house, pool, patio, and property lines, if you have one. Nassau County's pool enclosure application is one example that calls for a site plan.
  • Any HOA enclosure rules you have. HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility, and those rules can affect the layout we discuss.
  • Tell us if the property uses a septic system. That Nassau County form asks for the septic tank and drain field locations on the site plan when applicable.

Permit paperwork varies by location and project. We check what applies and handle permit work for the agreed build. Request an on-site quote when you are ready to talk through the space.

A mailing city does not always tell you which office reviews the work. Planning near Amelia Island? Our Fernandina Beach guide explains city, county and historic-area checks. In Clay County, the Orange Park guide explains why town limits matter before using a permit checklist. For Jacksonville projects, see the Jacksonville enclosure guide for a local new-build quote path.

What new enclosure work can include

The decisions that shape the build

The on-site review turns an approximate starting point into a proposed scope for a written quote.

New pool cage and enclosure layouts

We measure the proposed footprint and talk through screened sides and door locations before settling on a layout.

Existing-roof screen-ins

We check whether the home's roof can cover the space or the plan calls for its own screen or covered roof. For a covered patio, compare the lanai screen-in options.

Base and footing questions

We check the existing slab or pavers before quoting. If the enclosure needs new base or footing work, we can take care of that part of the project so you do not have to line up separate companies.

Use the starting-point tool first when
  • You want an approximate starting point before setting a site visit.
  • You already know the general layout you want.
  • You want to compare new build, roof type, and base-condition scenarios first.
  • You want to sort out whether the job needs a new roof or can use the home's existing roof.

FAQ

New enclosure questions homeowners usually ask first

Should I start with the online tool for a new enclosure?

If you want an approximate starting point before the site visit, yes. It is a useful first step for layout, wall count, roof choices, and base conditions.

What if the enclosure needs a slab, pavers, or footings?

The online tool can include those choices in an approximate starting point. At the site visit, we check what the build actually needs. We can include the base work in the project, and the written quote will say what is included.

What if the project is under an existing roof instead of a full enclosure roof?

The house roof already covers that space, so the work differs from building a new roof over it. See existing-roof screen-in options before choosing a rough range or site quote.

What happens at the site visit for a new enclosure?

We measure the space, check the layout and slab, paver, or footing conditions, and talk through the roof, screen, and door choices. We use those details, including permit needs, to prepare your written quote with the proposed work and price.

Who handles the permit and HOA approval?

We check which city or county handles the permit and take care of the permit work needed for the agreed project. If your home has an HOA, its approval is your responsibility. Send us its enclosure rules before the layout is finalized so the plan can account for them. HOA approval and a building permit are separate.
