Mosquitoes and no-see-ums shut down your backyard for most of the year. We build screened porches and decks that give you those evenings back, built to code, with permits handled.
Screened-in porches and screened decks in Port St. Lucie enclose your existing patio or a new deck platform with an aluminum or wood frame and mesh screening, most projects take four to six weeks from contract signing to final inspection, including permit review time with St. Lucie County.
Port St. Lucie sits in one of Florida's most active mosquito corridors, with canals, retention ponds, and the St. Lucie River creating standing water throughout the city. Without screening, your patio is genuinely unusable after about 5 p.m. for much of the year. A screen enclosure solves that problem and turns your backyard into a space you actually use, not just look at.
Many homeowners start here because they want to enjoy their outdoor space before considering a larger upgrade like a covered deck or patio cover - and a screened porch often becomes the project that makes the whole backyard work.
If your outdoor space sits unused from late spring through early fall because the bugs make it unbearable, that is the clearest sign. Port St. Lucie's mosquito and no-see-um season runs nearly year-round, and an unscreened patio is genuinely uncomfortable at dusk for much of the year. A screened enclosure gives you those hours back.
If you can see holes, sags, or a yellowish tint in your current screening, it is no longer doing its job. In Port St. Lucie's intense UV environment, screen degradation happens faster than most homeowners expect, and patching individual holes is a short-term fix. Re-screening or a frame replacement restores full protection.
If your open deck surface is faded, cracked, or hot underfoot, adding a screened enclosure with a solid or lattice roof overhead can extend its life and make it comfortable again. Shade and airflow together make a dramatic difference during a Florida summer.
If standing water collects near your patio slab or back entry after heavy rain - common on Port St. Lucie's flat lots - a screen enclosure project that includes proper grading can address the drainage issue at the same time. That pooling water also invites mosquitoes and accelerates concrete deterioration over time.
We build both screened-in porches and screened decks, and the right choice depends on what you already have. If you have an existing concrete slab or patio, we can frame and screen it directly - often the most cost-effective path. If you want a raised platform over your yard, we build the deck first and add the enclosure on top. Either way, every build uses aluminum framing or wood framing depending on your preference, quality mesh screening rated for Florida's UV and humidity, and concrete footings anchored to meet St. Lucie County's wind-load standards.
Homeowners who want a covered outdoor space often pair this project with a pergola installation for a shaded seating area adjacent to the screened zone. We also handle all permit paperwork with St. Lucie County and can walk you through the HOA architectural review process if your neighborhood requires it.

Port St. Lucie sits in one of the most active mosquito corridors in Florida. The C-23 and C-24 canals, the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, and retention ponds throughout the city create standing water that supports mosquito and no-see-um populations year-round. St. Lucie County Mosquito Control operates year-round spray programs, but no program eliminates the problem entirely - especially the tiny no-see-ums that pass through standard window screen. A properly built screen enclosure with fine-mesh or solar screening solves what spray programs cannot. Homeowners in neighborhoods near the waterways in Tradition and throughout the city find this difference especially noticeable.
Port St. Lucie is also in a high-wind zone, which means every screen enclosure we build must meet St. Lucie County's hurricane wind-load requirements - deeper footings, heavier-gauge framing, and stronger fasteners than you would see in states with milder weather. A contractor who skips the permit is also skipping the engineering review that verifies those requirements are met. We serve homeowners across all of Port St. Lucie and into Jensen Beach - and every project is permitted and inspected before we call it done.

(772) 281-0572Every enclosure we build is anchored and framed to meet the county's hurricane wind-load requirements. That means deeper footings, heavier-gauge framing, and stronger connections than contractors who work in states with milder weather use. A permitted, inspected structure is not a gamble when a storm tracks toward the Treasure Coast.
We submit the St. Lucie County permit application on your behalf and help you prepare HOA submissions for communities like Tradition and PGA Village. You will not get a letter from your association after the project is finished asking you to tear something down. We get the approvals right before a single post goes in the ground.
Standard window screen lets no-see-ums pass right through - a real problem near Port St. Lucie's canals and retention ponds. We know which screen products actually block them and can show you samples before you commit. The right screen choice makes the difference between a space you love and one you still avoid. Learn more about Florida screen options through the{' '} North American Deck and Railing Association at{' '} nadra.org.
Some contractors in this area offer to skip the permit to cut the price. We never do that. When we finish, you will have a closed permit on file with St. Lucie County - documentation that your enclosure was built correctly and inspected by a licensed official. That piece of paper matters when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
These are not selling points - they are the practical reasons homeowners in Port St. Lucie trust us with projects that stay on their property for decades. Every build we complete is one we would stand behind if you called us five years later.
