Screen Enclosures in Katy, TX
Enjoy your backyard without the mosquitoes. Our custom aluminum screen enclosures provide a comfortable, pest-free outdoor living space perfect for Katy's family-oriented lifestyle.
Outdoor Living, Upgraded
Katy is known for its beautiful master-planned communities and active outdoor lifestyle. But whether you're in Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, or Old Katy, the mosquitoes can make your patio unusable for much of the year. A screen enclosure is the most effective way to reclaim that square footage.
We design and build custom aluminum screen enclosures that blend seamlessly with your home's architecture. Unlike temporary solutions, our structures are engineered to withstand Katy's wind and weather. We use high-quality powder-coated aluminum that resists rust and fading, ensuring your enclosure looks great for years to come.
We understand the importance of HOA compliance in Katy. Our team can help provide the necessary drawings and specifications to get your project approved quickly, so you can start enjoying your bug-free patio sooner.

Choosing the Right Screen Enclosure for Your Katy Backyard
Most Katy homes we see were built with a covered back patio, and that shapes the options. There are three common paths:
- Screen in your existing patio. If your builder's patio cover is sound, we frame screen walls and a door under it. It's the fastest way to a bug-free space, and a popular choice in Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes and Seven Meadows.
- Add an aluminum patio cover with screen walls. If your patio is small or uncovered, we build an insulated or open-lattice aluminum roof and screen it in at the same time. This works well on newer Elyson and Cane Island lots, where builder patios are often compact.
- Build a full pool enclosure. For a backyard pool, a screened pool cage keeps leaves, bugs and debris out of the water and cuts down on skimming. It is the largest of the three projects and the one most likely to need HOA review.
Orientation matters in Katy's flat, open neighborhoods. A west-facing patio takes the full afternoon sun, so we often recommend solar screen on the west wall and standard 18/14 mesh elsewhere. Lake lots in Cross Creek Ranch and Firethorne usually do better with 20/20 no-see-um mesh on every wall.
What a Katy Screen Enclosure Project Looks Like
First, we confirm where your home sits. Much of the Katy area, including Cinco Ranch, is outside Katy city limits in Fort Bend, Harris or Waller County. City and county rules differ, and we check which apply before we quote.
Next comes the HOA. Katy's master-planned communities review exterior changes, and your ACC will usually want a site plan, elevation drawings, and the frame color and screen type. We prepare that package for you, and our HOA approval guide explains what boards usually look for.
Once approval is in hand and materials are ready, most installs take one to three days. Your written estimate spells out the scope, colors, screen types and door hardware before any work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve master-planned communities in Katy?
Yes. We frequently work in Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, Cane Island, Elyson, and other master-planned communities. We are experienced in meeting HOA requirements for screen enclosures.
What screen mesh is best for Katy backyards?
For most Katy homes, our 18/14 standard mesh is perfect for airflow and mosquito control. If your home backs up to a lake, creek, or retention pond, we recommend 20/20 no-see-um mesh to block smaller gnats.
Can you match my home's exterior color?
We offer aluminum framing in White, Bronze, Clay, and Sandstone. These neutral tones are designed to complement the brick, stone, and siding commonly found on Katy homes.
How long does installation take?
Once materials are ready and HOA approval is secured, most screen enclosure installations are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Will a screen enclosure hold up to Katy storms?
We build with powder-coated aluminum and pay close attention to roof connections and door hardware, the parts that took the most stress in the May 2024 derecho and Hurricane Beryl.
Can I screen in a patio that already has ceiling fans and lights?
In most cases, yes. We plan the screen walls around existing fans and lights so nothing needs to move.
Do you work in older parts of Katy, or only the new communities?
Both. We build in Old Katy and the established neighborhoods along I-10 as well as the newer master-planned communities.
