Licensed screened porches for homeowners in Universal City — built by a crew that knows the local terrain and permitting.

Shade & Comfort

Screened Porches Built for Universal City

An unshaded deck in San Antonio is genuinely unusable for a good chunk of summer afternoons — surface temperatures climb, direct sun is intense, and mosquitoes show up the moment the sun drops. A screened porch, pergola, or solid patio cover solves both problems at once, and it's consistently the upgrade our repeat customers wish they'd done the first time.

We regularly coordinate build schedules around PCS timelines, and understand the urgency when a family needs outdoor space finished before a move date rather than an open-ended timeline. When it comes to screened porches & patio covers specifically, Universal City permits through its own building department. Some neighborhoods near the base have HOA guidelines on visible structures — we check this during the design consultation so there are no approval surprises.

  • Screened porches keep out mosquitoes and pollen year-round
  • Solid patio covers cut deck surface temperature significantly
  • Pergolas add partial shade while keeping the space open-air
  • Structures engineered for wind load and attached roof tie-in

Our Process

How Screened Porches Works in Universal City

01

Structure Consultation

We discuss whether a full screen enclosure, solid roof patio cover, or open pergola best fits your goals — bugs, shade, or both — and your budget.

02

Engineering & Roof Tie-In

We engineer the structure for wind load and, for attached covers, properly tie into your existing roofline and flashing to prevent leaks.

03

Construction

Framing, roofing or screen panel installation, and any electrical for fans or lighting are completed by our crew, typically over 1–3 weeks depending on structure size.

04

Final Details

Screen doors are hung and adjusted, gutters or drainage are tied in if needed, and we walk the finished structure with you before final payment.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A pergola has an open or slatted top that provides partial shade while letting light and air through — good for filtered shade without darkening the space. A solid patio cover has a full roof structure that blocks sun and rain completely, functioning more like an extension of your home's roofline.
