Stop letting bugs, blowing dust, and brutal afternoon heat chase you indoors. We build screened porches and screened decks that make your outdoor space usable again.
Screened-in porches and screened decks in Horizon City turn unused outdoor space into a comfortable room you can enjoy year-round, most jobs take three to seven days of active construction once a permit is approved and materials are on-site.
If you already have a concrete slab or an existing deck, the project moves quickly. We build the structural frame, add a roof panel to cut the direct sun, stretch the screen panels tight, and hang a door that latches cleanly. If you need a new deck platform first, we handle that too. Many homeowners in Horizon City pair their screened porch with a covered deck or patio cover to create an outdoor space that works in every season.
The West Texas climate makes this more than a comfort upgrade. Mosquitoes, desert flies, blowing dust, and relentless afternoon sun are real problems here. A properly built screened enclosure solves all four at once.
If you step outside and head back in within minutes because of mosquitoes or the afternoon sun, that is the clearest sign a screened enclosure would change how you use your yard. A solid roof panel overhead cuts direct sun exposure dramatically, making the space usable even on hot Horizon City afternoons. You should be able to sit outside without a countdown.
If you wipe down chairs and tables every time you want to sit outside, the desert winds are winning. Horizon City's spring wind season can drop a visible layer of fine dust on every outdoor surface within hours of a good gust. A screened enclosure acts as a barrier, keeping the worst of the blowing dust off your furniture so the space is ready when you are.
Many Horizon City homes were built with a basic poured concrete patio that feels too exposed to enjoy. If your slab is in good shape but just sits empty, it may be a strong candidate for a screened porch conversion. Adding a frame, roof, and screens can transform it into a room you actually want to spend time in, without the cost of building a new deck from scratch.
If you already have a screened porch but the screens are pulling away from the frame, have visible holes, or sag in the middle, insects are getting in and the structure is not doing its job. Small tears can sometimes be patched, but widespread damage usually means a full re-screening is the better call. That is also a good moment to assess whether the frame itself needs attention.
We handle screened porch projects from simple screen conversions on existing slabs to full builds that include a new deck platform, structural framing, a solid or translucent roof panel, and a latching screen door. Every project starts with a site visit and a written estimate so you know exactly what you are getting before any work begins. Homeowners who want a fully weatherproof outdoor room often pair their screened porch with a covered deck or patio cover, while those who want an airy open structure lean toward a pergola installation instead.
Screen material choices matter out here. We discuss fiberglass, aluminum, and tighter-weave options that filter more dust during Horizon City's spring wind season. We also help you understand the HOA approval process upfront if your neighborhood requires it, so you are not stuck waiting on paperwork after the crew is already scheduled.

Best for homeowners who already have a screened porch structure but need damaged or sagging screen panels replaced and any frame issues addressed.
Best for homeowners who want maximum protection from sun and dust in addition to insect screening, creating a shaded, enclosed outdoor space that is usable year-round.
Horizon City sits in the Chihuahuan Desert, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun stays intense for most of the year. Standard screen materials can fade, warp, or become brittle within a few seasons if they are not rated for high-UV environments. We recommend materials and roof configurations that hold up in this climate specifically, not just what works in a milder region. Homeowners in Socorro, TX and El Paso, TX face the same conditions, and we build for all of them.
Horizon City has been one of the fastest-growing communities in the El Paso metro, and most of the newer housing stock came with basic concrete patios rather than finished decks. Many homeowners here want to make use of that slab without starting over. A screened enclosure is often the most cost-effective way to turn that unused space into a room the family actually uses. We also stay current on HOA approval requirements in the newer subdivisions, so you are not navigating that process alone.
For information on screen mesh performance standards, see the North American Deck and Railing Association. For permit requirements specific to Horizon City residential additions, the City of Horizon City building department is the official source.
We ask a few questions about your space - existing slab or deck, approximate size, what you want to use it for. You get a rough range over the phone before we ever visit, so you know whether the project fits your budget before committing to anything. We reply within one business day.
We come to your home, measure the space, and look at the condition of your slab or deck. We walk you through roof style, screen type, door placement, and HOA requirements if applicable, then give you a written estimate before you commit to anything.
Once you approve the estimate, we submit the permit application to the Horizon City or El Paso County building department. Permit processing typically takes a few business days to a couple of weeks. Your build date is scheduled around permit approval so there are no surprises.
The crew builds the frame, installs the roof if included, stretches the screen panels tight, and hangs the door. Most screened porch projects take three to seven days of active work. We walk you through the finished space before we leave, and a city inspector confirms the build meets local requirements.
No obligation, no pressure. We give you a written estimate and answer your questions honestly before you decide anything.
(915) 944-0236We spec screen mesh and framing materials that are rated for high-UV, high-wind environments, not just whatever is cheapest at the lumber yard. That means your screens stay taut and your frame stays straight through the West Texas spring wind season. It matters more here than in most of the country.
We pull the permit on every project, no exceptions. A permitted screened porch is officially on record with the city, which protects you when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. A contractor who suggests skipping the permit is saving themselves paperwork at your expense.
You receive a written estimate that spells out exactly what is included before you commit to anything. If something changes during the project, you hear about it and approve it before it affects your bill. No line items that appear after the crew shows up.
Many newer subdivisions in Horizon City have HOA covenants governing exterior additions. We know the process and help you understand what documentation you need and what the typical approval timeline looks like, so you are not stuck waiting on paperwork after the crew is already scheduled. We have worked with homeowners across Horizon City's newer neighborhoods on exactly this.
We have been building outdoor structures for Horizon City homeowners since 2020, and we know what holds up in this climate. Every project we finish is a referral we have earned.
