Patio Enclosures

What Is a Patio Enclosure?

A patio enclosure transforms your existing outdoor patio into a protected, comfortable space you can use year-round. Instead of leaving your patio exposed to wind, rain, bugs, and extreme temperatures, an enclosure adds walls and a roof to create a functional living area. You get the feeling of being outdoors with the comfort of being indoors.

At JSW Santa Maria Sunrooms & Patios, we specialize in building custom patio enclosures for Santa Maria homeowners. Whether you want a simple screen enclosure or a fully insulated space, we can design and install the perfect solution for your home.

Benefits of a Patio Enclosure

Adding a patio enclosure to your home offers benefits that go beyond just extra space. Here is what you can expect:

• Bug-Free Outdoor Living: Enjoy your patio without mosquitoes, flies, or other pests ruining your time outdoors.
• Protection From Weather: Stay dry during rain, cool on hot days, and comfortable when the wind picks up.
• Increased Usable Space: Turn an underused patio into a functional room for dining, entertaining, or relaxing.
• Lower Maintenance: Enclosed patios stay cleaner because they are protected from leaves, dirt, and debris.
• Boost Home Value: A quality patio enclosure is an attractive feature that can increase your property's resale value.

Types of Patio Enclosures We Build

Not all patio enclosures are the same. We offer several options based on your needs and budget:

Screen Patio Enclosures
A screen enclosure uses mesh panels to keep bugs out while letting fresh air flow through. This option is ideal if you want to enjoy your patio during mild weather without insects or debris. Screen enclosures are affordable and quick to install.

Glass Patio Enclosures
A glass enclosure provides a clear view of your yard while protecting you from wind, rain, and cold. Glass panels can be fixed or operable, giving you control over ventilation. This option works well if you want a more polished, year-round solution.

Insulated Patio Enclosures
An insulated enclosure is built with energy-efficient materials and can be connected to your home's HVAC system. This option turns your patio into a true four-season living space. It costs more but gives you maximum comfort and usability.

How We Build Patio Enclosures

Building a patio enclosure requires careful planning and quality materials. Here is how we do it:

Step 1: Site Assessment
We visit your home to measure your patio, assess the foundation, and discuss your goals. We also check for any structural issues that need to be addressed before construction.

Step 2: Custom Design
We create a design that matches your home's style and fits your budget. You choose the type of enclosure, materials, colors, and features.

Step 3: Permits and Approvals
We handle all necessary building permits and inspections. You do not have to deal with paperwork or city offices.

Step 4: Installation
Our crew installs the frame, roof, walls, and any doors or windows. We work efficiently and keep your property clean during construction.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough
Once the enclosure is complete, we walk you through the finished project to make sure everything meets your expectations. We also provide care and maintenance tips.

Patio Enclosures vs Screen Rooms

People often confuse patio enclosures with screen rooms, but they are not the same. Here is the difference:

A screen room is a standalone structure built with screen panels. It is designed primarily to keep bugs out while allowing airflow. Screen rooms are affordable and work well for mild weather.

A patio enclosure can be built with screens, glass, or insulated panels. It is more versatile because you can customize it for year-round use or specific weather conditions. Patio enclosures also tend to add more value to your home.
