New build planning
Plan it right before the build starts.
Good enclosure work starts with the right layout, the right roof system, and a clean tie-in to the house.

New screen enclosures
Build the enclosure around the way you actually want to use the space.
We build new screen enclosures for pools, patios, lanais, and spaces under an existing roof. Layout, wall count, roof type, and slab, paver, or footing conditions all affect the project, so the planning needs to be right from the start.
If you are replacing an old enclosure instead of starting fresh, the rebuild page is usually the better fit.
Wall count and layout
The number of screened sides changes the overall layout and the cost.
Roof type
A screen roof, a covered roof, or an existing-roof screen-in all need to be priced a little differently.
Base conditions
Existing slab, pavers, footing, or new base work all affect how the project gets planned.
What new enclosure work can include
The decisions that shape the build
The cleaner these decisions are handled up front, the cleaner the job goes once it is time to build.
Free-standing enclosure layouts
Pool enclosures, lanais, and patio screen systems planned around the footprint of the space and the number of screened sides.
Existing-roof screen-ins
Some projects are built under an existing roof instead of with a full enclosure roof of their own, which changes how the space is measured and quoted.
Base and footing questions
Slab, pavers, and footing still affect how the enclosure gets built and what it costs.
- You want pricing 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 is free-standing or under an existing roof.
- The layout still needs a lot of discussion.
- You are deciding between very different structure options and want to talk them through in person.
- The project is moving now and you already know you want a real quote.
Project examples
Examples of the kind of new-build work this page covers
Pool enclosure
Open panoramic coverage planned around the yard
Large new enclosures are all about getting the layout, wall count, and roof coverage right before the build starts.
Patio enclosure
New screened space without overbuilding it
Not every new enclosure needs the same layout. The right design depends on how much coverage and openness the space actually needs.
FAQ
New enclosure questions homeowners usually ask first
Should I start with the online estimate for a new enclosure?
If you want a ballpark number before the site visit, yes. It is a useful first step for layout, wall count, roof choices, and base conditions.
Can the estimate account for slab, pavers, or footing?
Yes. The online estimate asks about slab, pavers, and footing so the number reflects more than just the enclosure frame.
What if the project is under an existing roof instead of a full enclosure roof?
That is still a common enclosure job. It is just priced differently than a free-standing build because the house roof is already doing part of the work.
