Patio Screen Enclosures


What We Do for Austin Homeowners
A patio screen enclosure turns a covered patio into usable living space for more months of the year. It keeps out insects and debris, improves comfort with passive airflow, and protects furniture.
Dan White’s Screens & Things manufactures, installs, and repairs screen enclosures for residential properties in the Austin area.
Designed for Austin Homes Like Yours
Many Austin homeowners turn to a patio screen enclosure when they want a better way to use their outdoor space. If you find yourself in one of these situations, an enclosure may be the right fit:
- You already have a covered patio but need protection from insects.
- You want fresh air circulation without the expense or permanence of a full glass system.
- You prefer working with a local team that manufactures, installs, and repairs everything in-house.

Designed Around How You Live Outdoors
- Custom-built panels and doors: sized to fit your framing for a tight seal and clean sightlines.
- Mesh options, including insect and solar screens: choose visibility, shade, or added durability based on how you use the space.
- Structall framing components: durable systems designed for long-term outdoor performance.
- Local manufacturing and professional installation: one team builds, installs, and services your enclosure for consistent quality and support.
- Repair services for existing enclosures: extend the life of your current structure with screen and door repairs.

EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Carina ZamudioMay 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Doug White was the easiest thing I've done as a homeowner! I called to ask how the process worked, they sent people out to measure the windows, built them custom in about two weeks or less, and then installed them. Process was easy. They did great work. And now I can finally open my windows again!!! I wish I didn't put this off for so long! I'll definitely be recommending them in the future. I was a referral from Home Depot :) Karissa HampsonMay 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Process was easy, smooth, and the resulting screens are solid and look beautiful. Installation was quick - for our smaller patio it took just a few hours.

They did a great job, quality and attention to detail for sure! JustinJanuary 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service installing a new screen door for us. Reasonable pricing and good quality. Equally good service after my dog torpedoed through said screen door 11 months later and we had to fix it.

We love our screen porch....why didn't we do this years ago? I highly recommend Dan White's Screens & Things. They kept their commitment during the both the design and build phases and the installation was a breeze! Now we can finally enjoy the outdoor space and feel like we have another room in the house.
