A patio screen enclosure should feel solid, close tight, and keep insects out without blocking airflow. Elite Screens New Orleans installs and repairs patio screen enclosure systems in New Orleans, using proven aluminum framing, stainless fasteners, and clean, square screening lines.
We start with a site check of slab, posts, and tie-in points to confirm plumb, level, and load paths before any framing goes up. For new builds, we lay out post spacing, door swing clearance, and roofline attachment, then anchor aluminum posts with corrosion-resistant hardware and the right base plates for concrete or wood. On repairs, we identify the failure point first (loose spline, bent frame members, pulled fasteners, failed kick plate, or sagging roof panels) so you are not paying for guesswork. Openings get measured to the 1/16 inch, then we build for square corners, consistent reveals, and tight door alignment.
New Orleans weather is hard on enclosures, so we plan for wind, humidity, and corrosion from day one. We use UV-stable spline, quality screen options like fiberglass 18x16 mesh or tighter 20x20 no-see-um mesh, and stainless or coated fasteners where they matter most. If you need extra durability, we can install pet-resistant screen at lower panels and add aluminum chair-rail, kick plates, or mid-rails for stiffness. After installation, we tune doors with proper hinges, closers, and latches, then seal common leak and rattle points so the patio stays comfortable through summer storms.
Customers choose us because we treat a patio screen enclosure like an exterior system, not a quick re-screen. Our crews show up with the right tools, including miter saws for clean aluminum cuts, levels and lasers for layout, and screening rollers for even spline pressure and wrinkle-free tension. We communicate clearly about mesh type, frame condition, and what can be repaired versus what should be rebuilt for safety and long-term value. You also get a contractor that is licensed and insured, with straightforward scheduling and written estimates.
Before we leave, we do a full walkthrough: door operation, latch engagement, panel tension, frame squareness, and a visual check for gaps at corners and along the sill line. We haul off old screen and damaged components, clean up metal shavings, and leave you with a patio screen enclosure that looks finished, not patched. You will receive a written scope of work that lists materials used (mesh type, spline size, fasteners, and any framing parts) so future maintenance is simple. If you have a repair, we explain what caused the failure and what to watch for next season, including hinge wear, spline shrinkage, and fastener loosening after high winds.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after measuring and confirming mesh type, frame condition, and attachment method.
In most cases, yes. We’ll identify the closest mesh type (fiberglass, aluminum, solar, pet-resistant) and match common colors like charcoal or black for consistent visibility.
We do both. If the frame is bent, corners are loose, or tracks and rollers are worn, we can repair or replace components so the new screen performs correctly.
Timing depends on enclosure size, number of panels, and whether framing repairs are needed. After an on-site measure, we’ll give a clear schedule with expected start and completion dates.
Yes. We work with property managers and businesses on patio enclosures, entry screening, repairs, and repeatable maintenance plans with consistent specs.
If your patio screen enclosure is sagging, tearing, leaking, or letting bugs in around the door, the fix is rarely just “replace the screen.” Elite Screens New Orleans installs new enclosures and handles targeted repairs that restore structural stiffness, tight screening, and smooth entry doors. We work with aluminum framing, screened wall panels, screened doors, and common add-ons like mid-rails, kick plates, and pet-resistant lower sections. Every job starts with measurements and a frame inspection so the enclosure closes cleanly and holds tension over time.
For installation, we plan the layout around how you actually use the space, including traffic flow, furniture clearance, and door placement. We anchor posts and tracks correctly, keep frames square, and build consistent openings so panels seat properly. Screen is installed with the correct spline diameter and even pressure to avoid waviness, premature tears, or corners that pop out. When you want more protection, we can use tighter mesh to reduce gnats and no-see-ums, or add a stronger lower band with pet screen and aluminum rails.
For patio screen enclosure repair, we focus on the root cause: bent or racked frames, loose hardware, damaged door components, or aging spline that has shrunk and released the mesh. We replace only what is needed, then tune the system so doors latch without dragging and panels stay tight through heat and humidity cycles. If a rebuild is the better value, we will tell you upfront and explain why in plain terms.
Whether you are screening in a residential patio or a light commercial outdoor area, you will get careful prep, tidy workmanship, and materials chosen for Gulf Coast conditions. Request a written estimate, and we will walk you through mesh choices, frame options, timelines, and the best path to a patio screen enclosure that looks clean and performs the way it should.
