Screen Enclosures for Manvel's Growing Community
Manvel represents the new face of Houston suburban growth—fresh neighborhoods, modern homes, and families drawn by excellent schools and reasonable commutes. But while the area is developing rapidly, the Gulf Coast climate hasn't changed: warm, humid conditions that create perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and other flying pests.
A screen enclosure isn't just about pest control—it's about maximizing your investment in outdoor living. New construction often means pristine patios, fresh landscaping, and outdoor furniture that deserves protection. Instead of limiting patio use to cooler months or constantly battling insects, you get a functional outdoor room that extends your living space year-round.
The key to success is matching the enclosure to your lifestyle. In newer neighborhoods where families gather for cookouts, kids play outside, and neighbors visit frequently, door placement becomes critical. A standard hinged screen door handles daily traffic reliably. For households that want seamless indoor-outdoor flow or frequently move large items, sliding screen doors offer convenience. For those who entertain or prefer a more open feel, double French-style doors create an impressive entrance and enhance the connection between home and backyard.
Mesh selection depends on your specific conditions. 18/14 standard mesh provides excellent visibility and effective mosquito control for most Manvel locations. If you're near retention ponds, construction areas, or green spaces where tiny gnats are problematic, 20/20 no-see-um mesh delivers superior protection. For patios with intense afternoon sun exposure, solar screen reduces glare and UV while adding privacy. Pet owners benefit from pet screen in areas where dogs and cats might contact the mesh.
Every enclosure features powder-coated aluminum framing—maintenance-free, designed for Texas weather, available in White, Bronze, Clay, or Sandstone. We use Phifer® screening with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Framing includes a limited lifetime warranty, and workmanship is protected by a 5-year labor warranty. The result is an outdoor space that enhances your Manvel home's value and livability.

Aluminum vs. Wood: The Smart Choice for New Construction
While Manvel's newer homes often feature beautiful outdoor spaces, Gulf Coast humidity challenges wood structures from day one. Powder-coated aluminum is engineered for these conditions and delivers consistent performance without the maintenance headaches.
| Feature | Aluminum | Wood |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | No painting required—just occasional rinsing. | Painting/staining needed every 2–3 years. |
| Weather Resistance | Built for humid Texas conditions. | Warping, cracking, and rot are common issues. |
| Pest Resistance | Termite and carpenter-bee proof. | Vulnerable to wood-destroying insects. |
| Longevity | Engineered for decades of consistent performance. | Quality decreases as wood weathers over time. |
| Investment Value | Higher upfront, much lower lifetime costs. | Lower upfront, higher long-term expenses. |
