A well-built restaurant patio enclosure helps you seat more guests, reduce pests, and protect furniture from wind and rain while keeping airflow. Elite Screens New Orleans has served New Orleans since 2017, installing and repairing screen enclosures that stand up to daily service, pressure washing, and high-traffic entrances.
We start by measuring the patio opening, door swings, and egress paths, then verify the structure you are tying into, slab thickness, attachment points, and drainage. Our crew preps the base with proper anchoring and spacing, using stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, concrete wedge anchors or epoxy-set anchors where required, and isolators to reduce galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. For new builds or rebuilds, we square and plumb the frame, check diagonals, and set posts to resist racking from wind and door traffic. Before screening, we plan for access panels, service doors, and removable sections so maintenance can happen without tearing out the enclosure.
Local humidity, salt air, and driving rain are hard on patios, so material selection and finishing matter. We install aluminum framing with powder-coated finishes, high-visibility mesh for better sightlines, and heavier mesh options where chairs, carts, and crowd flow can bump the walls. For insect control, we use tight-weave options and sealed spline channels to reduce gaps, and we can add kick plates or pet-resistant mesh at chair height to limit damage. Details like drip edges, bottom channels, and clean caulk lines help manage water and keep the enclosure looking professional from the dining room and the street.
New Orleans restaurants choose us because we build like a contractor, not a handyman. We are licensed and insured, we provide clear written estimates, and we schedule work around prep hours and service so your patio stays usable. Repairs are handled with matching mesh and hardware whenever possible, including re-splining, panel replacement, door closer adjustments, latch and hinge swaps, and frame truing to stop sticking doors. You get straightforward options, what it costs, what it fixes, and what it does not, before we start.
At completion we do a closing walkthrough with your manager, checking door alignment, latch operation, screen tension, fastener set, and clean edges at every transition. We confirm there are no sharp corners, tripping hazards, or easy gaps at the bottom track, and we point out any ongoing care items like gentle wash methods and where to avoid pressure-washer tips near spline. You receive a written scope of work, material notes (mesh type, fasteners, finish), and a maintenance plan tailored to your patio. If anything needs a tweak after the first busy weekend, we make it right quickly with an organized service process.
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.
A restaurant patio enclosure turns outdoor seating into dependable revenue, but only if it is built for daily wear, cleaning, and the Gulf Coast climate. Elite Screens New Orleans designs, installs, and repairs restaurant patio enclosure systems that control insects, soften wind, and improve guest comfort while keeping access and safety in mind. Whether you need a full rescreen, a new aluminum-framed buildout, or targeted repairs after storm damage, we scope the job precisely and deliver clean, code-aware workmanship.
Every restaurant patio enclosure starts with smart layout and solid attachment. We measure openings, confirm square and plumb, and plan for doors, traffic flow, and staff movement, then build the frame so it resists racking from wind and constant use. When repairing an existing enclosure, we inspect the frame for loose corners, bent rails, failing anchors, and worn hinges or closers, then correct the root cause before installing new mesh or spline. That approach prevents repeat calls for sagging screens, sticking doors, or panels that pop loose during cleaning.
Material choice is where performance shows up. We can install high-visibility mesh for a more open dining feel, tighter insect screening for problem areas, and tougher mesh options at impact zones near chair backs, strollers, and server pathways. We use sealed spline channels and careful edge detailing to reduce gaps, and we can add kick plates or reinforced lower sections to protect the screens. Finishes stay crisp with proper fasteners, clean caulk lines, and water-shedding details that help during heavy rain.
If you are comparing bids, look beyond price and ask how the contractor will handle access, maintenance, and quick repairs during peak season. We provide a written scope, explain mesh and hardware options, and schedule installation to minimize disruption. For restaurant patio enclosure repair, we aim to match existing profiles and mesh, restore door operation, and get your patio back online fast.
