Porch Screen Enclosure for Austin Homes


A Smarter Way to Use Your Porch
A porch screen enclosure adds year-round value by creating a livable outdoor room. Instead of dealing with bugs, leaves, and unpredictable weather, you can sit outside in comfort.
Dan White’s Screens & Things designs, manufactures, and installs enclosures built for Austin homes and climates.
The result is simple: more time outdoors, less time cleaning up or fighting pests.
A Simple Porch Upgrade That Add Daily Comfort
Austin homeowners often choose porch screen enclosures to extend the use of their porches without the cost of a full addition. If you recognize yourself in the examples below, this service is a strong match:
- A front or back porch where mosquitoes make evenings unpleasant.

- A desire for added privacy and shade without losing airflow.

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.
