Turn your patio into a usable screen porch with tight, clean screening that blocks bugs, leaves, and debris without killing airflow. Baton Rouge Screens has served Baton Rouge since 2016, handling new screen porch enclosure installation, rescreening, and structural repairs for homes and businesses.
A screen porch is only as good as the base it’s built on, so we start by checking the slab or deck for level, movement, and water issues. We verify attachment points at the header, posts, and rim joist, then measure openings for consistent frame reveals and square corners. If framing is needed, we repair or replace damaged 2x material, tighten loose fasteners, and set proper blocking so screen frames stay rigid. Before any screening goes up, we plan door swing, hardware placement, and clearances so the porch functions like a finished room, not an afterthought.
South Louisiana humidity, wind-driven rain, and heavy pollen load demand materials that hold tension and resist corrosion. We commonly install aluminum screen systems with powder-coated framing and stainless or coated fasteners, plus spline-in fiberglass insect screen or heavy-duty pet screen where durability matters. For brighter views and better airflow, we can use charcoal screening or upgrade to no-see-um mesh when tiny gnats are a problem. Edges get sealed cleanly, corners are braced, and transitions at existing soffit, fascia, or rooflines are detailed to reduce rattles, gaps, and water intrusion.
Baton Rouge customers choose us because we treat a screen porch like exterior construction, not a quick rescreen. You get straight talk on what can be repaired versus rebuilt, with a clear plan for framing, screening, and door hardware. We are licensed and insured, and we bring the right tools for tight results, including proper spline rollers, miter and cut equipment for aluminum, and fasteners matched to treated lumber and existing substrates. Most of our work comes from repeat property owners and referrals because the porch looks clean, stays tight, and closes properly.
We finish with a full walkthrough that focuses on fit, function, and long-term serviceability. You will see even screen tension, clean spline lines, doors that latch and close square, and trim that hides cuts and fasteners where it should. We also point out maintenance basics, like keeping the bottom track clear, rinsing pollen off the mesh, and watching for settling that can loosen a frame over time. At the end, you receive a free written estimate up front, clear scope of work, and a screen porch enclosure built for daily use.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing the project scope, measurements, materials, and any needed frame or door repairs.
Small repairs can be completed quickly, while larger rescreens and enclosure work depend on access, frame condition, and material availability. After the on-site measure, we give you a realistic schedule.
In many cases, yes. We evaluate the existing mesh type, color, and weave and recommend the closest match, or an upgrade if the current mesh is failing prematurely.
Yes. We can replace torn panels, damaged spline, bent sections where feasible, and restore door operation, then advise if structural rebuild is the safer option.
Yes. We handle screening for commercial patios, outdoor seating, and shared spaces, with scheduling that reduces disruption and a clear written scope for property managers.
A screen porch should feel like an outdoor room, not a flimsy add-on. Baton Rouge Screens installs and repairs screen porch enclosures for residential and commercial properties, including full builds, panel rescreening, door and hardware fixes, and structural corrections that keep frames square and screens tight. Whether you need to enclose an existing patio cover or bring an older porch back into shape, we focus on clean lines, proper attachment, and materials that stand up to heat, humidity, and storms common to Baton Rouge.
Screen porch projects usually start with evaluating the substrate and framing. On slab patios, we look for cracks, slope, and drainage so water does not pool at the base track. On wood decks, we confirm joist and rim stability, attachment points, and whether treated lumber is properly fastened for exterior use. From there we lay out panels for consistent spacing, design the best door location for foot traffic, and account for roofline transitions so the enclosure looks intentional and seals correctly.
Material selection matters in a screen porch. Standard fiberglass insect screen works well for most openings, while heavy-duty pet screen helps resist tears from claws and high-traffic use. If tiny biting insects are an issue, no-see-um mesh can reduce intrusion at the cost of some airflow. We pair the mesh with quality aluminum framing, tight spline installation, and corrosion-resistant fasteners to reduce callbacks for sagging screens, rattles, or loose corners after the first strong weather event.
If your existing screen porch is failing, repair may be the smart path. We fix torn mesh, bowed or racked frames, loose base channels, and doors that drag or won’t latch. You will get a straightforward recommendation, a written estimate, and workmanship that prioritizes fit, durability, and a clean finished appearance from the street and from inside the porch.
