A screen porch should feel like extra living space, not a drafty frame that leaks bugs and rain. Elite Screens New Orleans (serving since 2017) installs and repairs screen porch enclosures in New Orleans using durable aluminum framing, tight screen tension, and clean, code-minded fastening.
Good screen porch work starts with the base, because screens only perform as well as the structure they attach to. We inspect slab slope, porch roof tie-ins, posts, and existing fascia, then confirm plumb and square before we measure openings. On repairs, we locate the real failure point, loose fasteners, rotted sill boards, rusted channels, or out-of-square frames that keep popping spline. When needed, we replace kick plates, rebuild bottom rails, and add blocking so the system has solid, straight backing for long-term tension.
New Orleans heat, humidity, wind-driven rain, and mosquitoes demand the right mesh and corrosion-resistant hardware. We install fiberglass insect screen, heavy-duty polyester mesh, and pet-resistant screen where claws and kids are hard on panels, plus no-see-um mesh for fine-biting gnats when airflow allows. Frames and doors are set with rust-resistant screws, tight corners, and proper spline sizing to prevent waves, gaps, and blowouts. To finish it right, we seal transitions where screens meet trim, adjust hinges and closers on screen doors, and verify consistent reveal lines so the enclosure looks like it belongs with the home.
Customers choose us because we treat a screen porch like a small construction project, not a quick rescreen. You get straightforward options, repair vs rebuild, standard insect mesh vs specialty mesh, partial panel replacement vs full re-screen, with clear expectations on durability and maintenance. Our crews show up with the right tools, including spline rollers, miter saws for clean cuts, levels, and corrosion-resistant fasteners, so the job stays precise. We are licensed and insured, and we keep the work area tidy and safe for families, tenants, and foot traffic.
At closeout we walk the enclosure with you and check the details that matter in real use. We confirm doors latch cleanly, panels are uniformly tight, corners are secure, and there are no daylight gaps at the sill, jambs, or roof line. You receive a written scope of work, mesh type, color, and hardware used, plus care tips for cleaning screens, protecting frames from impact, and catching small tears early. If you are comparing bids, we will also explain what is included and what is not, so you can make an apples-to-apples decision.
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 screen porch is sagging, leaking bugs, or taking on water during storms, the fix is usually more than just new mesh. Elite Screens New Orleans designs, installs, and repairs screen porch enclosures with the right materials for Gulf Coast conditions, then installs them with straight frames, tight spline, and hardware that holds up to humidity and corrosion. Whether you need one torn panel replaced or a full enclosure rebuild, we focus on clean lines, smooth door operation, and a finished look that matches your home or commercial property.
Our screen porch process starts with an on-site evaluation of framing, porch roof connections, and attachment points. We look for common failure areas like soft wood at the bottom rail, separated trim, corroded screws, and old channels that will not hold spline. From there we recommend the best path, rescreening existing frames when the structure is sound, or replacing sections of aluminum framing and kick plates when it is not. Every opening is measured, squared, and built to keep panels tight and reduce flutter in wind.
Material selection matters. Standard fiberglass insect screen is cost-effective and works well for many porches, while heavy-duty polyester and pet-resistant screen handle higher traffic, pets, and commercial use. For heavy mosquito and gnat pressure, we can install tighter no-see-um mesh, with guidance on how finer mesh can affect airflow. We match mesh color and frame finishes when possible, and we use spline sizes that seat properly to prevent waves, corners lifting, or repeated blowouts.
To finish the job, we align panels, tune door hinges and latches, and check for gaps at the sill, corners, and transitions to trim. You get a clear written scope detailing mesh type, frame work performed, and hardware used, plus practical care guidance for cleaning and avoiding damage.
