Do you have an existing patio that you love but wish you could use year-round? Screen patio enclosures could be the perfect solution for you. In this blog, we’ll explore whether you can screen in an existing patio, what factors you need to consider, and the options available to you.
In many cases, you can screen in an existing patio. However, the condition of your foundation is crucial. Your foundation must be in good shape and fairly level. Any gaps at the bottom of your sunroom can lead to issues with insects and weather. Make sure your patio surface is stable and level to avoid these problems.
Before you start any construction, check with your local village or city regulations. Ensure your project complies with proper setback regulations. Proper permits are essential to avoid fines and delays. Confirm that the area you’re working on is approved for such modifications.
One option for screen patio enclosures is to go with a pre-fabricated (pre-fab) sunroom. Pre-fab sunrooms are typically cheaper and quicker to install. When choosing this option, you hire a professional to install it for you. While you won’t get much customization, this might be a suitable option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly solution. Ensure that whoever you hire pulls the proper permits from the village.
Your other option is a custom sunroom. Custom sunrooms are pricier but offer complete personalization. A custom sunroom can be designed to fit your specific needs and compensate for an imperfect foundation. You have more options regarding window and door configurations.

Wheaton IL, cabinet refacing project completed in 2020. This kitchen was in really great shape, but the homeowner wanted a change! The cabinets were sturdy and in great shape, however she didn’t like how dark they were. Additionally, the countertop and backsplash were recently replaced. We don’t recommend trying to reuse a countertop that has already been adhered, so refacing is a good option if you want to keep your countertop.
