Screened Porch Builder in Broken Arrow OK
Oklahoma evenings in spring and fall are exceptional — the temperatures are perfect, the air is warm, and the landscape is beautiful. The only thing standing between you and hours outdoors is the mosquito population. A screened porch or screen room solves that problem completely, extending how long you can comfortably use your outdoor space while maintaining the connection to the outdoors that a fully enclosed room doesn’t provide. VistaScapes builds screened porches and screen room enclosures throughout Broken Arrow.
Screened Porch Options in Broken Arrow
Attached Screen Rooms
An attached screen room is built off the back of the house — typically over an existing patio or deck — with a solid roof tied to the home’s roofline, screened walls on three sides, and access from the house via a door or opening. This is the most common screened porch type in Broken Arrow — it feels like an outdoor extension of the home’s living area, provides full weather protection overhead, and eliminates bugs completely.
Freestanding Screen Structures
For properties where attaching to the house isn’t practical, or where the screened space needs to be positioned away from the home (near a pool, at the far end of the yard), we build freestanding screen structures with post-and-beam framing, solid or polycarbonate roofing, and screened walls. These can be any size and positioned anywhere the site allows.
Screen Room Conversions
Many Broken Arrow homeowners have existing covered patios or pergolas they’d like to convert into screened spaces. We add screen framing and panels to existing structures where the framing is suitable, or build a new screen enclosure adjacent to an existing patio. Conversions are usually the most economical path to a screened outdoor space.
Four-Season Screen Rooms
For homeowners who want to use the screened space through Oklahoma winters, we incorporate clear vinyl screen panels that can be deployed to block wind and retain some heat, or specify insulated panels for portions of the walls. Ceiling fans and outdoor heaters mounted in the roof structure complete the four-season setup.
Screen Materials and Framing
We use commercial-grade aluminum screen framing systems rather than wood — aluminum doesn’t rot, warp, or require painting, and holds screen tension properly through temperature cycles. Screen mesh options include:
- Standard fiberglass mesh: Economical and effective for insect exclusion
- No-see-um mesh: Finer weave that excludes the tiny biting gnats (“no-see-ums”) that get through standard screens — recommended for Broken Arrow properties near wooded areas or water
- Solar screen mesh: Blocks 65-90% of UV radiation while excluding insects — reduces heat gain and glare inside the screen room significantly
- Pet screen: Heavy-duty vinyl-coated mesh that resists tearing from pets pushing on the screens
