Screen Enclosures in Jacksonville FL
Schnorr Home Improvements designs and builds custom screen enclosures for homeowners throughout Jacksonville, FL and Northeast Florida. From creating a screened outdoor living area to enclosing a pool, lanai, patio, or porch, each project is planned around the home, available space, intended use, and surrounding property.
A properly designed screen enclosure allows homeowners to enjoy more of Florida’s outdoor lifestyle while reducing exposure to mosquitoes, flies, leaves, pine needles, and other debris. The enclosure maintains natural airflow and outdoor views while defining a more comfortable area for relaxing, entertaining, dining, or spending time around the pool.
Since 1979, Schnorr Home Improvements has served Jacksonville-area homeowners with custom enclosure design and construction.

Custom Screen Enclosures Designed for Florida Outdoor Living
A screen enclosure creates a transition between the interior of a home and the surrounding outdoor environment. Unlike a fully enclosed glass room or conditioned sunroom, screening keeps the space open to natural airflow while providing a physical barrier between the living area and many common outdoor nuisances.
Screen enclosures can be designed around existing covered spaces or incorporated into larger freestanding outdoor areas. Depending on the property, a project may involve an aluminum structural system, screened walls, screened roof sections, doors, access points, kick plates, and other components selected for the intended use of the enclosure.
The design should also account for how homeowners move between the house, yard, pool deck, and surrounding outdoor areas. Door placement, roof configuration, enclosure height, sightlines, drainage, and connections to the existing structure can all influence how well the completed space functions.
What Does a Screen Enclosure Include?
The exact configuration depends on the home and project, but a custom screen enclosure may include:
- Aluminum framing
- Exterior screening
- Screened wall sections
- Screen roof sections where appropriate
- Entry and exit doors
The goal is not simply to add screening. It is to create an outdoor space that functions as part of the home.
- Access from the home to the yard or pool
- Structural connections to the existing home
- Custom dimensions and roof configurations
- Screening selected for visibility, airflow, and durability
- Design considerations for the property’s existing architecture
Types of Screen Enclosures We Build
Screen enclosure needs vary considerably from one property to another. This page provides an overview of Schnorr Home Improvements’ screen enclosure services. Homeowners looking for a specific type of enclosure can explore the dedicated service pages below.
Pool Enclosures
A pool enclosure creates a screened boundary around the swimming pool, pool deck, or surrounding recreation area. It can help reduce leaves, insects, and other airborne debris entering the pool area while maintaining an open-air environment.
Homeowners considering screening around an existing or new swimming pool can learn more about our Pool Enclosures.
Lanai Screen Enclosures
Many Northeast Florida homes already have covered lanais that can be made more functional by adding properly designed screening.
A lanai screen enclosure can retain the existing covered outdoor character while reducing insects and debris and defining a more comfortable area for dining, relaxing, or entertaining.
Learn more about Lanai Screen Enclosures and the options available for existing covered outdoor areas.
Screen Rooms
A screen room provides a dedicated outdoor living area enclosed with screening while maintaining natural ventilation and views.
Screen rooms can be designed for homeowners who want additional usable outdoor space without converting the area into a fully enclosed glass or conditioned room.
Explore our Screen Rooms for more information about dedicated screened outdoor living spaces.
Screened Patios
An open patio can often become significantly more usable when it is incorporated into a properly designed screened structure.
A screened patio can provide space for outdoor furniture, dining, entertaining, and everyday relaxation while helping reduce mosquitoes and debris.
Visit our Screened Patios page to learn more about enclosing patio areas.
Screen Porches
Screen porches combine the familiar layout of a covered porch with screening designed to make the space more comfortable during Northeast Florida’s warmer months.
Design considerations can include the existing porch structure, entry locations, views, airflow, surrounding landscaping, and how the porch connects with the home’s interior.
Why Choose a Screen Enclosure for Your Jacksonville Home?
Northeast Florida’s climate makes outdoor living an important part of many homes, but mosquitoes, flies, falling leaves, pine needles, and other debris can interfere with how often an outdoor area is actually used.
Screening provides a practical way to create separation without eliminating the outdoor environment.
Homeowners commonly choose screen enclosures to:
- Reduce insects around outdoor living areas
- Limit leaves and other debris
- Make patios and lanais more comfortable
- Create defined outdoor entertaining areas
- Maintain airflow and outdoor views
- Make pool decks easier to enjoy
- Improve the functionality of existing covered spaces
- Connect indoor and outdoor living areas more effectively
The best enclosure is determined by how you plan to use the space rather than by choosing a one-size-fits-all design.
Screen Enclosures Built for Jacksonville and Northeast Florida Homes
Homes throughout Northeast Florida vary considerably in architecture, lot configuration, landscaping, rooflines, outdoor-living areas, and proximity to waterways or coastal environments.
Schnorr Home Improvements serves homeowners throughout Jacksonville, Duval County, St. Johns County, Clay County, and surrounding Northeast Florida communities.
Projects may range from homes in established Jacksonville neighborhoods such as Mandarin to properties near Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, and Fleming Island.
Local conditions can also vary between properties near the St. Johns River, communities closer to the Intracoastal Waterway, and homes nearer the Atlantic coastline. Exposure, surrounding vegetation, pool placement, drainage, and existing structural conditions should all be considered when planning an enclosure.
The objective is to design the enclosure around the actual property rather than simply applying the same structure to every home.
Screen Enclosure Design That Complements Your Home
A screen enclosure occupies a substantial visual area of the property, so appearance matters along with function.
Frame configuration, roof style, enclosure height, door locations, connection points, and sightlines should be considered in relation to the existing home.
Schnorr Home Improvements works with homeowners to create an enclosure that complements the property’s architecture while providing the outdoor functionality they want.
Planning the Layout
Before construction, consider:
- What part of the property should be enclosed?
- Will the enclosure surround a pool, patio, lanai, or porch?
- Where should doors and access points be located?
- How will people move between the home and yard?
- What views should remain as open as possible?
- How will the enclosure connect to the existing roofline?
- Will landscaping or existing structures affect the design?
- What type of screening best fits the intended use?
These details can have a significant impact on both appearance and everyday usability.
Why Choose Schnorr Home Improvements?
Schnorr Home Improvements has been serving the Jacksonville area since 1979, giving the company decades of experience designing and constructing screen and glass enclosure systems for Northeast Florida homes.
Each enclosure can be field measured and custom designed around the specific property instead of relying exclusively on standardized dimensions.

New Screen Enclosures vs. Screen Repair
This page focuses on the design and construction of new screen enclosures.
If the existing structure is still in good condition but screens have become torn, loose, damaged, or worn, replacement of the entire enclosure may not be necessary.
Visit our Screen Repair Service page for information about individual screen replacement, enclosure repairs, and rescreening services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunrooms
What type of screen enclosure is best for my home?
The right enclosure depends on the area being screened and how you intend to use it. A pool may require a large structural enclosure, while an existing covered lanai may only require screened wall sections. Schnorr Home Improvements can evaluate the property and help determine an appropriate configuration.
Can you build a screen enclosure around an existing patio?
Many existing patio areas can potentially be incorporated into a screen enclosure. The existing slab, roof configuration, dimensions, drainage, structural conditions, and desired enclosure design should be evaluated before determining the appropriate solution.
Can an existing lanai be screened?
Yes, many covered lanais can be enclosed with screening. Visit our Lanai Screen Enclosures page for information specifically about enclosing existing lanais.
Do you build screen enclosures around swimming pools?
Yes. Schnorr Home Improvements designs and builds custom pool enclosure structures. Visit our Pool Enclosures page for information about screening pool decks and surrounding swimming areas.
What is the difference between a screen enclosure and a sunroom?
A screen enclosure maintains natural outdoor airflow through screened openings. A sunroom is a more fully enclosed living area generally incorporating windows or glass and is designed for a different type of use. Homeowners looking for fully enclosed living space should visit our Sunrooms page.
