Jacksonville, FL · Porches & Screen Enclosures

Porches & Screened Enclosures

In Florida, a porch is the difference between a backyard you use and one you look at from the window. A covered or screened porch gives you shade, keeps the bugs and rain out, and adds a genuine outdoor room you can use from spring through the worst of summer — the single most-used upgrade on a lot of the homes we build.

P1Mitigators™ builds covered porches, screened-in porches, and lanais across Jacksonville and Duval County. We engineer them to Florida’s wind requirements, tie the roof into your home the right way, and handle the permitting so the addition is solid, dry, and legal.

A porch pairs naturally with a deck underneath it and a pergola alongside it, and it is a common companion to pool-cage and screen work. Running the whole exterior through one contractor means the rooflines, screens, and framing actually match instead of looking bolted on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a lanai, a screened porch, and a covered porch?

A covered porch has a solid roof for shade and rain protection. A screened porch adds screen walls to keep bugs out. A lanai is a Florida term for a covered, often screened outdoor living area tied to the home. We build all of them and help you pick based on how you want to use the space.

Do porches and screen enclosures need permits?

Yes — roofed and enclosed structures require permits and wind-rated engineering in Florida. We handle the permitting and build to code so the addition is safe and inspection-ready.

Can you screen in my existing patio or deck?

In most cases, yes. We can enclose an existing slab, patio, or deck with a screen or covered structure, as long as the base and any framing are sound — we confirm that before we start.
