There's nothing better than enjoying a warm evening outside, except when mosquitoes and flies decide to join you. A screen room solves that problem. You get all the benefits of outdoor living with fresh air and natural breezes, but without the bugs that make outdoor spaces frustrating.
At VSP Visalia Sunrooms & Patios, we build quality screen rooms that extend your living space at an affordable price. Our screened additions let you enjoy Visalia's beautiful weather in comfort, whether you're relaxing with family or hosting friends for dinner.
What Makes Screen Rooms Special
A screen room is an enclosed outdoor space with screen walls instead of solid walls or windows. Think of it as a room with walls that breathe. You get protection from insects and light debris like leaves, while still feeling connected to your yard and enjoying fresh air.
Here's what defines a quality screen room:
- •Durable screen material: High-quality screens that resist tears and stand up to daily use
- •Sturdy frame: Aluminum or vinyl framing that won't rust or deteriorate
- •Weather-resistant roof: Solid roofing to protect from sun and rain
- •Screen door access: Easy entry from your home or yard
- •Built on existing patio or new foundation: Flexible installation options to fit your property
Why Visalia Homeowners Choose Screen Rooms
Screen rooms are one of the most popular outdoor additions in Central California, and for good reason. They offer an unbeatable combination of comfort, affordability, and connection to nature.
Affordable Outdoor Living
Screen rooms cost significantly less than fully enclosed sunrooms because they use simpler materials and construction methods. You get a functional outdoor room without spending as much as you would on a glass enclosure. This makes screen rooms perfect if you want to add living space on a reasonable budget.
Perfect for Visalia's Climate
Our warm, dry climate in Visalia is ideal for screen rooms. You'll use your screen room for most of the year. Spring and fall are perfect screen room weather. Summer evenings become enjoyable when you can sit outside with a breeze flowing through. Even mild winter days are pleasant in a screen room with some portable heaters.
Natural Ventilation
Unlike enclosed sunrooms, screen rooms don't trap heat. Air flows freely, keeping the space comfortable even on warm days. Add ceiling fans for extra air circulation, and you have a naturally cool space that doesn't require air conditioning.
Low Maintenance
Screen rooms are easy to care for. Occasionally rinse the screens with a hose, and you're done. Unlike glass windows that show every smudge, screens hide dirt well and rarely need serious cleaning. The frame materials we use don't rust or rot, so your screen room stays looking good with minimal effort.
Fast Installation
Most screen room projects are completed in two to three weeks. Because construction is simpler than building a full sunroom, you'll be enjoying your new space quickly. Less construction time also means less disruption to your daily routine.
Custom Design Options for Your Screen Room
Every screen room we build is custom-designed for your property and preferences. Here are some of the options we offer.
Size and Shape
Screen rooms can be any size your property allows. Small 10x12 spaces work great for intimate seating areas. Larger 16x20 or bigger rooms provide space for dining tables and multiple seating zones. We can build rectangular rooms, L-shaped designs, or custom shapes that fit your yard.
Roof Styles
Choose from gable, hip, or shed-style roofs. We can match your home's existing roof pitch or create a complementary design. Some homeowners prefer screen roofs for maximum airflow, while others want solid roofs for rain and sun protection. We help you choose what works best for your needs.
Frame Colors
Our frames come in various colors to match your home's exterior. White, bronze, and charcoal are popular choices. The right color makes your screen room look like a natural extension of your home rather than an obvious addition.
Flooring Options
If you have an existing concrete patio, we can build your screen room right over it. If you're starting from scratch, we offer options like stamped concrete, pavers, or composite decking. Your flooring choice affects both the look and the budget of your project.
Screen Rooms vs Other Outdoor Enclosures
Wondering how screen rooms compare to other options? Here's a quick breakdown to help you decide what fits your needs.
Screen rooms are perfect if you want maximum airflow, don't mind avoiding the space on rainy or very cold days, prefer the most affordable enclosed outdoor option, and love the feeling of being outdoors while staying bug-free.
Consider a glass patio enclosure if you need more weather protection, want to use the space in cooler weather, or prefer a quieter environment with less outside noise.
