Another beautiful pool screen enclosure transformation by A Home Service! We removed the homeowner's aging screen enclosure and replaced it with a brand-new, dark bronze aluminum enclosure featuring a modern roof design and large panoramic picture-view panels. The result? A cleaner, more open backyard with beautiful views and protection from insects and debris. Thinking about replacing your old pool cage? Whether you need a complete screen enclosure replacement, a new pool en

At A Home Service, we're known for building beautiful screen enclosures, but did you know we also specialize in removing them? Sometimes, the best way to transform your home isn't by adding something new — it's by opening up the space you already have! This week's project highlights the removal of an existing front-entry screen enclosure. While screened entryways offer protection from insects, some homeowners prefer a more open, spacious, and welcoming entrance. Why remove yo

This week we're highlighting another new screen enclosure build from start to finish. The photos show something homeowners don't always get to see—the amount of work that happens before the final screen goes in. The project started with frame assembly and roof framing, followed by careful anchor installation and hardware preparation. From there, the side walls took shape and our crew moved into screening the structure. Every stage matters. Proper anchoring, structural connect

This week's project is a great example of what goes into building a new screen enclosure from the ground up. The photos tell the whole story—from the original open pool area through demolition, site preparation, footer work, aluminum framing, screening, and finally the completed enclosure. A quality screen enclosure doesn't start when the first piece of aluminum goes up. Proper preparation is just as important as the finished structure. The footer, base preparation, layout, s

This week we’re highlighting what A Home Service is all about: helping South Florida homeowners turn their backyards into outdoor spaces they can enjoy year-round. Whether you’re starting with an empty pool deck, replacing an aging enclosure, or upgrading what you already have, there are more options today than ever before. We specialize in new screen enclosures, complete rescreens and repairs, Elite insulated roofs, Picture View panels, structural super gutters, and pool bar

A screen enclosure can be much more than just a way to keep mosquitoes and bugs out. When designed correctly, it becomes a true extension of your home. This week's featured project shows exactly what we're talking about. By combining a covered patio with a custom screen enclosure, the homeowners get protection from insects and debris while still enjoying the fresh air and their backyard. The large screen openings help maintain an open feel, while the dark bronze aluminum fram

Another beautiful screen enclosure coming together! These pictures show the project from the ground up—starting with laying out and assembling the aluminum, then raising the main structure, installing the roof framing, and screening the enclosure. Every piece is carefully fitted to create a strong, clean-looking enclosure designed specifically for this pool and outdoor living area. The finished enclosure completely transforms the backyard, giving the homeowners a comfortable

Another beautiful new build is complete! But when we build a screen enclosure, we aren't just thinking about how it looks today—we're thinking about how it's going to hold up for years to come. In South Florida, our screen enclosures deal with strong sun, heavy rain, humidity, high winds, and hurricane season. That's why proper engineering, quality aluminum, correct anchoring, and good workmanship are so important. From the structural framing and fasteners to the screen and d

A screen enclosure should keep the bugs out—but it shouldn't block the reason you love your backyard. One of the most popular upgrades we're seeing in South Florida is the Picture View screen enclosure. Instead of having multiple vertical aluminum posts breaking up the view, Picture View designs create much larger screened openings so you can actually enjoy your pool, lake, golf course, or backyard. For homeowners replacing an older enclosure, this can make a huge difference.

There is nothing more rewarding than watching a project go from an empty patio to a beautiful finished screen enclosure. This week we completed another custom new build, giving our homeowners a comfortable outdoor living space they can enjoy every day. Every new enclosure begins with careful planning, engineering, and precise installation. From the foundation and structural framing to the final screen panel, every detail matters. Building it correctly the first time helps ens

Florida's summer weather can be beautiful, but it can also be tough on your screen enclosure. Between heavy rain, strong afternoon thunderstorms, high winds, intense sun, and constant humidity, your enclosure works hard every day to protect your outdoor living space. One of the best investments you can make is regular maintenance. A small tear in the screen or a loose fastener may not seem like a big deal today, but after one strong summer storm, it can quickly turn into a mu

This week we completed the removal of an older screen enclosure that had reached the end of its useful life. While many homeowners focus on the finished product, every great new build starts with proper preparation. The existing enclosure had served the home well for many years, but age, corrosion, and wear had taken their toll. Rather than continuing to invest in repairs, the homeowner chose to start fresh with a brand-new screen enclosure designed to current Florida Buildin

This week we completed another beautiful new screen patio, turning an open backyard space into a functional outdoor living area that the homeowners can enjoy year-round. A new screen enclosure does more than keep bugs out. It creates a comfortable space for relaxing, entertaining guests, and enjoying the outdoors without constantly battling leaves, debris, and insects. For many families, it quickly becomes one of the most used areas of the home. This project featured a modern

This week we worked on several projects featuring Elite insulated roof systems combined with new screen enclosures. One of the biggest upgrades a homeowner can make to their outdoor living space is adding a foam-insulated roof. Unlike a traditional screen roof, an insulated roof provides shade, protection from the weather, and helps reduce the heat that builds up underneath the patio during South Florida summers. Elite roof panels are constructed with high-density foam insula

This week we completed another brand new screen enclosure, transforming an open patio into a functional outdoor living space the homeowners can enjoy year-round. Every new build starts with proper planning and layout. Measurements, engineering, permitting, and installation all have to come together to ensure the finished structure is strong, attractive, and built to current Florida Building Code requirements. For this project, the homeowners wanted a clean, modern design that

This week we completed several bronze screen enclosure projects, and it reminded us why bronze continues to be one of the most popular colors for new installations. Many older enclosures were built with white aluminum, which still looks great in the right setting. However, more homeowners are choosing bronze because it blends naturally with landscaping, pools, pavers, and modern home designs. Bronze frames tend to create less visual contrast, allowing your eyes to focus on th

This week was focused on pool barriers, aluminum fencing, and privacy fences. A lot of homeowners do not realize how important these systems are until they are upgrading their backyard or trying to meet pool safety requirements. In Florida, pool barriers are more than just a fence. They are a safety feature designed to help protect children and pets from accidental access to the pool area. Proper gate hardware, self closing hinges, and correct latch heights all matter when in

Summer is when we see the biggest spike in patio re-screening calls, and it makes sense. Between strong sun, afternoon storms, and kids being home more often, screens take a beating this time of year. Most homeowners start noticing small tears or loose panels right around the beginning of summer. What starts as a tiny hole quickly turns into a bigger problem once wind and rain get involved. We always tell people that summer is the perfect time to re-screen because it keeps bu

Not every call we get is for a full screen enclosure. A lot of homeowners just need their window screens or sliding door screens repaired so they can open the house up again without letting the bugs in. In South Florida, especially in places like Wellington, Boca Raton, and Delray Beach, screens take a beating from sun, pets, lawn equipment, and everyday use. Common Problems We See Most window and door screen issues are simple, but they make a big difference in comfort. Torn
