Screened-in Porches & Patios
Screen Rooms for Columbus Porches, Patios & Decks
If you love the idea of spending more time outside but not the mosquitoes, pollen, and unpredictable Ohio weather, enclosing your porch with a screen room may be the perfect upgrade. For homeowners in Columbus and the surrounding suburbs, a screen room adds comfort, shade, and usable living space without the cost of a four-season sunroom. It’s a simple way to make your porch feel more finished, more functional, and a lot more inviting.
We proudly install high-quality Betterliving® screen rooms, known for their durable construction, minimalist design, and customizable styles. With extruded, enamel-coated aluminum, our screen rooms are virtually maintenance-free.
Slim Line Supports
Inexpensive screen rooms are built with 4x4 wooden posts wrapped in vinyl, which just hides warping and rot over time.
We use an enamel-coated aluminum that won't rust, warp, or rot and is half the size, giving you more view and less post.
No-Dent Fiberglass Screens
Aluminum screens may look good at first, but over the life of your screen room, you'll see every bend, dent, and wrinkle. Fiberglass is rust-free, quieter, and bounces back from impacts instead of denting. No rattling around like a tin can on a windy day in central Ohio.
5 Year-Workmanship Guarantee
Many screen room installers promise quality components and long-lasting results. Only a select few can back them. On top of the manufacturer's warranty, we also offer a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

Screened-in Front Porches
Screen rooms aren't just for your backyard.
Columbus, Ohio, homes are just as likely to have a large covered front porch as a back one. With a screened-in front porch, you avoid pollen, bugs, leaves, and debris from getting into your house while having a place to sit.
Screened-in Patios
Add a screen room to your existing patio.
Your covered patio is the perfect place to add screens for additional enjoyment during the late spring through early fall.
While screen rooms don't keep the weather out, they do give protection from insects and pollen. If you're the kind of person who can sit outside in Columbus in October with a light jacket, a screened-in patio is the perfect match for you.
Screened-in Decks, Even on the Second Floor.
With knee walls and railings along the perimeter of your screen room, you have the freedom to enclose your second-story deck. Our screen rooms feature matching durable enamel-coated aluminum railings for safety above 30" off the ground.
You can also choose to screen-in an area under the deck for bonus space. The options are endless.
Want More Than Screens? Upgrade to a 4-Track
Your screen room doesn't have to stay a screen room. Betterliving 4-track stacking windows replace your screen panels with vinyl windows that slide open to 75% ventilation — bugs out in summer, wind and rain out in spring and fall. Many of our customers start with a screen room and add stacking windows a season or two later, using the same frame. It's the most affordable way to stretch porch season from April to November.
Screen Room FAQS
What is a screen room?
A screen room encloses your existing covered porch, patio, or deck with framed screen panels, keeping out bugs, pollen, and debris while letting fresh air flow through. Unlike a sunroom, a screen room is open to outdoor temperatures.
Want something that protects you from cooler temperatures and rain? Consider upgrading to screen porch windows.
How much does a screen room cost compared to a sunroom?
A screen room is the most affordable porch enclosure option. It typically costs a fraction of a comparable sunroom because it doesn't require glass, insulation, or HVAC.
Your final price depends on your space size, whether you're screening an existing covered porch or adding a roof, and options like knee walls, doors, and railings. We'll give you an exact quote at your free in-home consultation — no pressure, no games.
Can I use my screen room in the winter?
It depends on you. Screens keep out bugs and debris, but not much else. The patio cover will provide some shelter from wind and snow, but you'll definitely need a heavy coat out there.
Screen rooms in Columbus are best enjoyed from spring through late fall. If you want a space you can use into the colder months, stacking windows or a three-season sunroom might be a better fit.

What's the difference between a screen room and a patio enclosure?
We use the term enclosed patio to refer to an existing patio or porch cover that is converted to a screen room or sunroom.
Some companies use enclosed patio to refer to any type of enclosure system inscluding screens, 3-season sunrooms, or year round sunrooms.
What's the difference between a screen room and a 3-season room?
A screen room only uses screen panels. Think maximum airflow, but very little weather protection. A three-season room adds vinyl or glass panels that block wind and rain, extending your season further into spring and fall.
If you'd sit outside in October with a light jacket, a screen room is your match. If you want to be out there when it's 40 degrees and raining sideways, we recommend a three-season room.
