Screened Decks in Live Oak
Suwannee County has incredible evenings and incredible bugs — especially near the Suwannee River, wooded lots, and pastureland. A screened deck gives you the best of outdoor living — fresh air, breeze, and the sound of the evening — without the mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and pollen.
We build screened deck enclosures and convert existing decks, with framing and screen systems engineered to handle North Florida wind, rain, and humidity for years.
What We Offer
- New screened decks built from the ground up
- Screen enclosures added to your existing deck

Why Screen Your Deck
- Bug-free mornings and evenings, all year
- Less cleanup — keeps out leaves, pollen, and debris

Screened decks pair beautifully with a covered roof and are one of the most-requested projects out near the river. We build and screen decks across White Springs, Mayo, and Suwannee County.
Frequently Asked Questions
Screening an existing deck typically runs $18-$35 per square foot depending on frame material and screen type, while a new screened deck built from scratch falls closer to our standard $32-$92 range.
Generally yes, since a screen enclosure adds a permanent structure and framing to your deck. We handle that permit as part of the project.
Screening an existing deck usually takes about a week. Building a new screened deck from the ground up runs closer to 2-3 weeks.
Standard fiberglass screen keeps mosquitoes out but lets no-see-ums through. A tighter no-see-um mesh is what actually stops them, though it reduces airflow slightly compared to standard screen.
Yes, screen enclosure framing and installation are covered under the same general liability and workers' compensation policies as our other deck work.
Both. We regularly add screen enclosures to existing decks, as long as the current framing can support the added structure — we check that before quoting.
A screen room is typically a smaller, defined space built onto part of a deck, while a full enclosure screens the entire deck perimeter, often paired with a roof or existing patio cover.
They can stay open on top with just screen walls, but pairing a screened deck with a solid or pergola-style roof keeps rain and falling debris out too, not just bugs.
Yes, our workmanship warranty covers the screen frame and installation, and screen material itself typically carries a separate manufacturer warranty against tearing.
It often adds more in our area, since bug-free outdoor space near the river and wooded lots is in high demand and used far more months out of the year.
Standard screen isn't pet-proof against determined clawing or chewing. We offer heavier pet-resistant screen material for households with dogs that use the deck regularly.
