Can I use a screen room in the winter?

Screen rooms are designed for warm weather use. They don't have insulation or solid walls, so they won't keep you warm in cold temperatures. However, in Thousand Oaks where winters are mild, you can often use your screen room on sunny winter afternoons.

How much does a screen room cost?

Screen rooms are one of the most affordable outdoor living upgrades you can make. Costs depend on the size and materials, but they're significantly cheaper than glass sunrooms.

What type of screen material should I choose?

Standard mesh screens are the most common and affordable. For better visibility and airflow, you can upgrade to finer mesh. We also offer solar screens that block more sun while still allowing airflow.

A screen room is the simplest and most affordable way to extend your outdoor living space. It's basically an enclosed patio or porch that uses mesh screens instead of glass. You get fresh air, natural light, and a comfortable place to relax without dealing with bugs, debris, or harsh sun.

Screen rooms are perfect for Thousand Oaks because the weather is mild most of the year. You don't need heavy insulation or climate control. You just want a space where you can sit outside, enjoy the breeze, and not get eaten alive by mosquitoes. That's exactly what a screen room gives you.

Why Choose a Screen Room

Screen rooms are popular because they're practical, affordable, and easy to maintain. They give you most of the benefits of a sunroom without the higher cost or complexity of glass enclosures.

Here's what makes screen rooms a smart choice:

•Budget-Friendly: Screen rooms cost less to build than sunrooms with glass walls.
•Great Ventilation: Mesh screens let air flow through while keeping bugs out.
•Low Maintenance: Screens are easy to clean and replace if they get damaged.
•Quick Installation: Screen rooms take less time to build compared to glass enclosures.

What to Expect During Installation

Building a screen room is straightforward, but it still requires proper planning and skilled installation. Here's how the process works.

Step 1: Design and Measurements

We start by measuring your space and talking through your goals. Do you want to enclose an existing patio or build a new structure? What size works best? We'll create a design that fits your property and budget.

Step 2: Frame Construction

Once the design is approved, we build the frame using durable materials like aluminum or vinyl. The frame needs to be strong enough to support the roof and screens while standing up to California weather.

Step 3: Screen and Roof Installation

After the frame is up, we install the screens and roof. You can choose from different screen materials depending on how much visibility and airflow you want. We also add a door so you can easily access the space.

Step 4: Final Touches

We finish with any trim work, flooring, or electrical additions you need. Then we clean up and walk you through the finished space. The whole process usually takes just a few weeks from start to finish.
