Whether you’re putting in a gazebo or enclosing your pool or lanai, you want to hire the best contractor. Doing your homework before hand will give you the tools you need to ascertain which contractor or company you will hire to complete the build.

We’ve put together a guide that will help you sort through your choices and make the best decision.

Form some questions

It’s important to find out some essential information about the person or company with whom you choose to do business.

Here’s a list of questions that you need to ask.

Are you licensed by the state of Florida?

State licensing provides proof that the contractor or company is legitimate. Moreover, it’s a layer of protection for homeowners providing an avenue for recourse should a problem arise. They should be willing to show you their business license upon request.

Are you insured?

You need to ensure that the company, or contractor if self-employed, is adequately insured. If not, and an accident occurs on your property, you could be held liable.

Ask if they are covered by workers’ compensation insurance and liability insurance. Both are a must.

How long have you been in business?

The longer a company has been in business, the more experienced they should be. Ask if you can have some references from former customers while you’re at it.

What types of materials do you use?

Screen enclosures framed out in aluminum are more weather-resistant than wood. Gazebos are often built with wood, however, Florida’s semi-tropical climate and salt-infused air are hard on wood. Your contractor should make you aware of that fact and may make other suggestions.

Additionally, if anyone mentions using Artisan wire screens, cross them off the list. This cheaply manufactured screen holds up for three or four years tops and possibly less here due to the climate. Phifer screen is often viewed as the best choice. It’s used by many professionals and is viewed as the best enclosure screen on the market. In fact, it’s ranked number one in the nation and has expanded globally from there.

Do you guarantee your work?

Contractors and pool screen companies that guarantee their work are a cut above those who don’t. Again, failure to offer a guarantee is a sign of shoddy workmanship.

If the answer to your question, or any of the others listed above, is no, we suggest removing them from your list immediately.

Get some estimates

Once you have made up your list of questions, it’s time to make some choices. Check with family and friends to see if they have anyone that they would recommend for the job. You can also search local community boards or posts—and, of course, there’s always Angi. We’d opt for checking with friends and family, though. Word of mouth is the best form of advertisement!

We suggest you contact three potential contractors or pool screen companies—which can be a mix of the two, of course—and inquire about them coming out to give you an estimate on the cost of your project. Once the estimates are completed, pitch the lowest as its the most likely to be a corner-cutter bid. That means they may use cheaply made materials to increase their profit line while leaving their customers to make do if things begin falling apart.

One last tip

Find a company that customizes your screens using digital imagery. The dyes are resistant to ultraviolet rays so the images remain vibrant for years. Imagine walking through the door of your enclosure and immediately feeling as if you’ve been transported to the beach, a rainforest with flowing waterfalls, or any other destination that appeals to you.

The transformation is truly amazing! Homeowners report feeling an even greater sense of privacy. Peace and tranquility abound which increases your ability to relax. Once you’ve added your own decor, your backyard getaway will be complete—unless you decide to carry the theme on out into the yard with landscaping ideas.

Best of both worlds

In addition to increased privacy, mesh screen enclosures provide your family with many benefits that include:

  • A bug-free environment—Can you imagine being outdoors and not being bothered by any bugs or insects? It becomes a reality when you’ve enclosed your outdoor space.
  • UV protection—You won’t be totally protected, but screen enclosures do help because the UV rays are filtered as they pass through the screens. It lessens their intensity.
  • Free air flow—Because air flows freely throughout your space, mold and mildew won’t have a chance to take hold because—even after a particularly “splashy” day in the pool—every nook and cranny dries completely.
  • Even a safety feature—Because the door locks, you can keep the kids and pets out of the pool area or—if you’ve enclosed your patio or lanai—in so they won’t wander off.

Once you’ve decided who will install your enclosure—and whether or not you will customize your screens—all that’s left to do is wait for the day the crew arrives. Are you going all out with new furniture and decor as well? In addition to throw pillows, outdoor rugs, and the other eye-catching elements you could add, table top water features are another great idea. They aren’t just eye-catching though. The sound of running water increases our sense of tranquility—and in today’s crazy world, we need all of that we can get!

Lots of Florida homeowners are thinking about opening the pool right about now. And, why not? The average temperature is getting up in the 80s now and that’s plenty warm enough to consider taking a dip. Every adult may not agree with that, but if you asked the kids if they’d jump in though—

Before they rip off the cover and go for it, there are some steps you need to take to ensure the water is clean and safe.

Warmer temps promote algae growth

Once the temperature is consistently in the upper 60’s to 70 degrees, you don’t want to wait to long to get under the cover. Algae grows faster when the water warms up and if you put it off too long, you’re going to have to deal with a murky, green mess.

That’s going to slow down the process because it may take a few days to turn the water clear again. After the chemical treating… and retreating… and…

Before you take off the cover

If you don’t have a pool enclosure, your winter cover likely has scattered debris or standing water on top of it. We suggest cleaning it off before unveiling the pool. We suggest using a pump to drain off the water and “raking” off accumulated debris first. If you don’t have an automated system to cover and uncover the pool, we suggest making it a two man job. Mainly because pool covers are heavy!

Odds are there will still be a small amount of water to deal with too, however, even if it winds up in the pool, it shouldn’t be enough to cause serious issues. The following steps should take care of it nicely.

Properly store winter accessories

Take the time to properly store your winter cover and other accessories to avoid any damage during the summer. There’s no reason you can’t reuse them year after year and you know what they say about a penny saved! The old saying seems especially apropos these days, doesn’t it?

Remove the cover and lay it out flat. Brush off any remaining water and debris. Allow the cover to dry thoroughly. Before folding it for storage, sprinkle talcum powder over it to prevent mold and mildew growth. Dark, damp spaces provide prime conditions for the fungi spores to thrive. Especially, when coupled with Florida’s soaring humidity levels.

Carefully fold the cover to prevent damage or rips before storing it in a cool, dry place, such as the garage or storage shed.

Reconnect and maintain

If you disconnected your pool filter, pump, heater, automatic pool cleaner, in-line chlorinators, or any other pool equipment for the winter, it’s time to reconnect everything. Don’t forget to reinstall the drain plugs removed from the equipment.

It’s also a good time to take some time to lubricate the o-rings, gaskets, and other hardware with a silicone lubricant. It helps keep your equipment watertight making it more likely to work properly all season long. Then, after it flies by—as summer is wont to do—it’s easier to disassemble again to get winterized.

Once everything is in place, if the water level is below the skimmer, it’s time to refill the pool.

It’s time to add the chemicals

Start your pump to get the water circulating and then you’re ready to start adding the chemicals to your water. Pull out the water balancers, stain and scale preventer, algaecide, clarifier, and pool shock.

Address metal build-up first because during the off-season, copper, iron, aluminum, and other metals can accumulate in your pool water. Metals in the pool don’t cause a concern for swimmers, even at high levels, it’s all about the aesthetics. Metals and minerals can make the water cloudy or stain underwater surfaces. Moreover, if not addressed, changes in pH or high chlorine levels—such as during shock treatments—encourages metal staining too.

Finding the proper balance

Home test kits or strips are the fastest and easiest way to check the levels in your pool. Always test the water chemistry before adding any chemicals. Focus on balancing the Total Alkalinity first because it has a direct impact on the pH levels. Once it’s in range, test the pH because it’s likely to change while adjusting the Total Alkalinity. Once the pH is leveled out, you can work on adjusting the other chemistry levels.

You’ll need to check the levels of Free Available Chlorine, Calcium Hardness, and Stabilizer, otherwise known as Cyanuric Acid.

The recommended water balance ranges are as follows:

  • Total Alkalinity (TA): 80–120 ppm
  • pH: 7.4–7.6
  • Free Available Chlorine (FAC): 2.0–4.0 ppm
  • Calcium Hardness (CH): 200–400 ppm
  • Cyanuric Acid (CYA): 30–100 ppm

Always read and carefully follow product instructions when adding chemicals to your pool. Keep the pump running at high speed until the chemical is fully integrated which often takes up to four hours or longer after adding it to the water. Never mix chemicals and add them to the water only one at a time.

Brush and vacuum

Plan to give the pool a thorough brushing and vacuuming before shocking the pool. Even if you don’t see it, there’s likely bacteria and algae clinging to the pool walls. Moreover, the process is going to help your filtration system remove all bits of debris. When that stuff is out of the water, your chlorine works most efficiently.

Start brushing at the shallow end of your pool and work your way toward the deep end. Vacuuming your pool directly to “waste” reduces strain on your filter. Once the pool is brushed and vacuumed, let the filtration system run through the night and you’re ready for the next step.

Shock and awesome

The last step for ridding the water of bacteria, algae spores, and, well, germs in general, is to shock the pool. Shocking the pool hits it with a mega burst of chlorine to wipe them out completely. Once that process is completed and you’ve allowed it to circulate through the system, treat the water with algaecide the following day. Once that’s said and done, your set for an awesome swim season.

Enjoy it!

Having a pool in the backyard may not be every Floridian’s dream, but it’s one that many of us share. The subtropical climate gives us a much longer swimming season to enjoy than most of the country. Having pools of our own allows us to enjoy the season to the fullest! Lots of homeowners take things a step further and create their idea of the perfect backyard getaway.

Landscaping around your pool is one way to transform the area into your own personal retreat. If you’ve put up an enclosure, adding plants inside will go a long way toward enhancing the beauty of your surroundings. However, you want to make the right choices when deciding which plants to incorporate. Making the wrong choices can lead to problems, such as constantly finding leaves or petals in the pool clogging up your filters and contributing to algae growth and ring-around-the-pool.

Moreover, some plants left growing too close to your enclosure, whether inside or out, can cause damage to the screens and frames. Planting in containers is a good idea because you can move them around if necessary as your plants grow.

With a little planning, you’ll hit on the right combination of plant life and the tropical atmosphere is sure to enhance your sense of peaceful serenity—one of the main reasons that people design a backyard getaway in the first place.

Which plants grow best inside an enclosure?

Low maintenance plants are those that are the least likely to drop debris into the pool. It makes good sense that the less time you spend skimming and cleaning leaves you more time for swimming or relaxing poolside.

Some good options to consider are:

  • Palms—The Bangalow palm and Foxtail Palm are both ideal for adding some tropical ambiance because they are fairly easy to care for and don’t shed much debris.
  • Ornamental grasses—Muhly Grass is native to Florida. It has narrow, dark green leaves and yields a beautiful display of pink or purple flower stems during the fall. It needs lots of water to get started, but over time becomes drought tolerant.
  • Tropical plants—Bird of Paradise and Hibiscus are considered low maintenance and offer vibrant splashes of color that lend to the oasis feel.
  • Succulents—Yucca and Aloe Vera are uniquely shaped plants that are low maintenance. They don’t require much watering which fits in well with busy lifestyles.
  • Evergreen shrubs—Such as the Star Jasmine, for example. It’s a perfect choice for growing inside your enclosure. It’s decorative and emits a beautiful fragrance adding to the resort-like feel.

Designing tips

Colors and textures are big in the world of design with good reason. Eye-catching surroundings lend to the overall ambiance so mixing different shades of green with vibrant pops of color is the name of the game. Think about how tall your plants will grow and choose species of varying heights to add depth and dimension to your design. A simple layout idea would be to arrange your plants with taller palms or shrubs in the back and then the shorter plants or flowers in front. It creates a full, lush appearance, in perfect tune with your luxurious backyard getaway.

If you aren’t planning to put down a new floor, adding a walkway outside your enclosure will still compliment your interior design. You could border the walkway around your enclosure or have it lead off toward a garden statue or the tiny grove of orange trees across the backyard. Water features are another great way add to the overall aesthetic. The sound of moving water tends to lull most people into a more relaxed state which is perfect for a backyard getaway spot.

Low maintenance, not no maintenance

Even though you won’t have much, regularly maintaining your landscaping inside and out is the key to keeping your backyard getaway looking luxuriously beautiful.

Keep branches trimmed back so walkways don’t become obstructed. Sweeping up the fallen leaves is easy enough to handle. Periodically ensure that none of your plants are harming the structural integrity of your enclosure. Lastly, check to make sure your screens remain firmly in place along the frames and repair any small holes or tears that appear in your screens immediately.

Taking a little time to spruce up your space is going to make a big difference in enhancing the quality time your family and friends spend poolside this year… and every one hereafter.

No enclosure?

You may want to consider installing one! Pool enclosures offer your family several benefits that you can enjoy all year long.

They include:

  • An increased level of privacy
  • Create a bug-free zone
  • A degree of UV protection
  • Protect your outdoor living space from yard and storm debris
  • Provide a barrier that holds wildlife at bay

If you have pets or small children, enclosing the pool provides you with an added level of safety too which is good for peace of mind.

We suggest that you consider working with a company that provides you with customized screens. Using digital imagery, your image choice is printed directly onto your screens. Dyes infused with added UV protection ensure images remain vibrant for years to come. You wouldn’t necessarily need to landscape if you were surrounded with the lush vegetation of a tropical rainforest or it appeared as if the ocean was only a short distance away!

It’s a thought worth entertaining, wouldn’t you say? All you’ll have to do to finish out your getaway spot is to add in your furniture and decor. And, maybe plan a party… or two!

Should I Convert My Enclosure Into a Sunroom? https://patioscenes.com/convert-enclosure-into-sunroom/ Thu, 27 Feb 2025 14:50:00 +0000 https://patioscenes.com/?p=16267 Homeowners who want to expand their indoor living space without the cost of complete room additions often choose to convert their patio or lanai area into a sunroom.

Homeowners who want to expand their indoor living space without the cost of complete room additions often choose to convert their patio or lanai area into a sunroom. What about giving up your enclosure for a sunroom though? If that is what you’re considering, this article may help you make your final decision. We’re listing the benefits of turning your enclosure into a bona fide sunroom.

We’ll let you know if there are any cons to consider as well.

Boosts structural integrity

Your screen enclosure provides some protection from the elements. Ultraviolet (UV) rays filter through the screens making them less intense. And, if the wind isn’t blowing too hard, the enclosure does a good job of keeping you dry should you want to sit outdoors during a rain.

If you convert your enclosure into a sunroom, you and your family will have a stronger defense against the elements. You have the option of installing windows that have added UV protection built in as well. They would be a bit more costly, but some would say it is totally worth the added expense.

Moreover, your sunroom would be framed out as outlined by Florida’s strict building codes. This creates a more stable foundation that may better withstand hurricane force winds should you ever be in the path of a serious storm.

Climate control

Screen enclosures allow air to flow freely throughout your outdoor living space. They also provide a bit of shade on those hot, sultry days. Sunrooms allow you to enjoy a clear view from every angle while enjoying a cooler temperature thanks to air conditioning.

Peace and quiet

Do you live in a neighborhood where the homes are built so close together that you can almost reach over and touch your neighbor’s house from your window? When you’re spending time in your screen enclosure, it can be hard to feel as if your family has any privacy at all. Voices carry through the air after all and, quite possibly, right into the neighbors’ ears.

Lots of homeowners choose to install double-pane windows in their sunrooms because they create a sound barrier from the inside and outside. We’ll mention that double-pane windows will be at the higher end cost-wise, but homeowners are quick to express their happiness with the decision. The environment becomes more peaceful, which enhances relaxation time.

Who wouldn’t love that?

Sunrooms eradicate pollen

Your screen enclosure can keep bugs and insects out of the area. Snakes, rodents, and other wildlife are blocked from coming too close to the house, too. Still, we can’t get around the fact that Florida is plagued with pollen for several weeks in the spring.

For those who suffer from allergies, it can be impossible to spend time outdoors. If you convert your enclosure into a sunroom, the glass windows create the needed barrier to keep pollen and other allergens—and mold comes to mind here—out.

Increases your home’s value

Curb appeal can charm prospective buyers into making an offer. An eye-catching sunroom qualifies as an attractive feature that appeals to home appraisers, real estate agents, and, of course, the would-be buyers. Sunrooms expand your indoor living space and, therefore, increase the property value to some degree.

Agents will love being able to sell the space. After all, it can be multifunctional and once she knows the potential buyer’s interests, she can customize her selling points, trying to reel in an offer. If the buyer has children, a sunroom can provide them a safe, sunny spot to play. Do they enjoy working out? Moving their equipment into the sunroom may appeal to them.

Many potential scenarios could apply.

If it ain’t broke

Sunrooms provide you with protection from the elements while allowing you to feel closer to nature. They create a bug-free zone that is impossible for all manner of bugs and insects to penetrate. Small animals, reptiles, and amphibians can’t break through the sunroom’s borders either. A sunroom can create stunning curb appeal and, thereby, it increases the value of your home to some degree.

We told you we’d share the cons, too. However, when it comes right down to it, the biggest con we have for choosing to convert your screen enclosure into a sunroom is the cost. Your screen enclosure already provides you with all of the benefits that a sunroom can, except for air conditioning. A well-placed ceiling fan or two would keep the air circulating. They do a wonderful job of stirring up a constant breeze.

Your level of UV protection would likely be higher if you choose to install beefed up windows. However, that can get costly pretty quickly because a sunroom is enclosed in glass.

You see where we’re going here, right?

Consider converting your screens instead

If one of the reasons that has you considering a conversion is that your screens are in bad need of repair anyway, why not replace them with screens that are customized with stunning digital imagery? Imagine surrounding yourself with a scene of the surf rolling into shore. Or perhaps a luxurious tropical forest complete with cascading waterfalls is your favorite spot in the entire world—

Screen customization allows you to completely change your environment. The designs are visible from both sides of the screen, creating a beautiful view for your neighbors to admire as well. The images are printed using dyes that are infused with added UV protection to guard against sun fade. They are guaranteed to remain vibrant for years.

Moreover, you, your family, and friends are guaranteed to love hanging out in your new getaway spot. Be prepared to get volunteered to host special events and other get-togethers. We wouldn’t be surprised.

Having the party come to you isn’t all bad. In fact, many would agree that it was rather unfair of everyone else in the group who always wanted to meet at a specific friend’s house. If converting your screens and not your space is the route you wind up taking, enjoy your new space.

Maybe you can use some of the money you saved not converting to a sunroom to splurge on new patio furniture or decor. It doesn’t take much to completely change the ambiance in the room when coupled with beautiful imagery.

Now more than ever, cost plays a major role in the decisions we make for our families. Weighing the pros and cons of every purchase is becoming more of a necessity as inflation continues to rise. If this is the year you planned to install an enclosure around the pool, lanai, or both, don’t talk yourself out of it due to soaring prices. We’ve got some tips to help you plan your budget and once your new enclosure is up, you’ll begin reaping the harvest of added benefits immediately.

You could purchase a kit and put it up on your own, however, if you aren’t a seasoned Do-It-Yourselfer, we suggest working with an experienced screen enclosure contractor. Many contractors offer to come to your location and give you a free estimate of the cost. As a rough rule of thumb, here in Florida, the average cost of a screen enclosure per square foot is between $10 and $24.

Several factors affect your budget

Numerous variables impact your final budget and they include:

  • The size of the area you’re enclosing affects the final cost.
  • Materials, such as flooring, affect pricing.
  • Installing unique features, say a water feature, for instance, increases the cost.
  • Will you use standard screen panels or install specialty screens?
  • Is the enclosure new construction or are you incorporating space already under your roof line?
  • If you need a roof, will you choose screen or aluminum?

Consider the added benefits

As you make out your budget, it’s important to consider the range of benefits you and your family will enjoy as soon as your new screen enclosure is complete.

Ups your privacy level

The number one reason people choose to enclose their outdoor space is the level of privacy they add to the mix. Neighbors are great, but sometimes—and especially when you’re gathered at the pool—it can feel as if you’re on display for all the world to see. Screen enclosures provide you with an added level of privacy that enhances your ability to rest and relax. And speaking of pool enclosures, if you install a kickplate at the base of your enclosure, it may completely shield you from being visible at all.

Creates bug-free zone

Your screens will be so finely woven that they create a barrier that keeps all manner of bugs and insects out of your environment. You can put away the bug repellant and fly swatters because mosquitoes, flies, noseeums, and all the rest won’t have access to you or your family when you’re enjoying time outside.

Imagine the sensation of enjoying your meal outdoors and not continuously swishing and swatting at swarming flies intent on contaminating every bite of food. And, have you considered what a difference an enclosure will make when family and friends gather for a night swim? No more diving underwater to escape the mosquitoes that hover around you every time you surface.

UV protection included

We don’t often consider screens as providing ultraviolet (UV) protection, but they do. As those harmful rays pass through the screen, they become less intense. That means you won’t be reapplying sunscreen as often. Your belongings aren’t going to suffer sun fade as quickly either.

Fights mold and mildew

Mold and mildew are types of fungi. Our hot, humid climate provides the perfect environment for them to thrive. Screen enclosures naturally combat mold and mildew because they allow air to freely circulate throughout the entire space. Any wet nooks and crannies dry out entirely making it impossible for mold and mildew to get a foothold. That’s a good thing because once started, they spread.

Blocks unwanted guests

Florida is known for a wide array of wildlife, including snakes, lizards, small mammals, and even alligators. It’s never a fun experience to discover one of the above on your lanai, in the pool, or curled up under a cushion or pool float, but it happens.

Mesh screen enclosures create a wall of protection that keeps them away from your living space and out in the yard where they are free to continue their journey through—and out—of your yard.

Safe space

Screen enclosures provide you with some peace of mind. Your small children have a safe place to play while they’re getting some fresh air and sunshine. You can have a bit of free time to sit and read your book, pay some bills, or scroll your phone for a while without looking up to realize your littles have wandered out of sight.

Adds value to your home

Installing an outdoor enclosure increases the value of your property to some degree as well. How much is determined by such things as the size of the structure and building materials used.

Another plus to consider

When deciding which contractor to hire to build your enclosure, consider working with a company that customizes the screens. They use digital imagery to print your choice directly on the screens using dyes infused with added UV protection to resist fading. Images are guaranteed to remain vibrant for years.

The screens further enhance feelings of privacy. Moreover, they completely change your environment! If you choose a scene that reminds you of your family’s favorite vacation spot, warm and fuzzy memories will envelop you every time you enter the space.

The phrase, backyard oasis, becomes a reality with customized screens.

Pulling it all together

After considering all the added benefits that screen enclosures provide for you and yours, deciding to move ahead with the project is going to be a lot easier. Let’s review.

Providing your family with more privacy and a safe place for young children—pets too—to play can only be considered a plus, plus. Less UV exposure is certainly another. Getting rid of bugs and other unwanted guests is a great incentive to enclose your space too.

Customizing your screens makes creating a backyard getaway a reality. And when you consider that adding an enclosure increases your property value, too… Wow! Is there any reason to wrestle with the decision a minute longer? Moving ahead with creating a budget for this project will be a decision you’ll never regret.

Your friends and family are going to love the new space. We should warn you to prepare to become the favored place for gatherings… and with good reason! It won’t be long until you realize that enclosing your outdoor living space was worth every penny spent.
