Screened Porches in Garland, TX

Yes — converting a covered patio is the most cost-effective screened porch option in Garland. If the existing roof structure and concrete slab are in sound condition, we add framing and screening to the existing shell rather than building from scratch. Most Garland patio conversions complete in one to two weeks once materials are on site and permits are cleared through the city.

Yes — enclosed structures require permits through the City of Garland. If your property falls within a Firewheel-area HOA or another managed subdivision, design committee approval may also be required before the city permit is filed. We handle both the HOA submission and city permit coordination as part of every screened porch project so no paperwork or city hall visits fall on you.

We typically recommend fiberglass mesh for standard installations because it handles North Texas UV exposure without degrading quickly. Ceiling fans and ridge vents improve airflow significantly during Garland's hottest months and make the screened space genuinely usable from April through October. For homeowners who want additional insect resistance, fine-weave mesh upgrades are available at a modest cost increase over standard screening material.
