Screened Porch Installation in Deltona, FL
A screened porch is the single best home improvement for most Deltona homeowners. Florida mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and afternoon thunderstorms make open decks uncomfortable for months at a time. A screened enclosure gives you year-round outdoor living — bug-free, rain-protected, and comfortable even in summer. We build screened porches throughout Volusia County.
Why Deltona Homes Are Perfect for Screened Porches
Deltona's location in central Florida means warm temperatures almost year-round — which means you could be spending time outside nearly every day. The thing stopping most folks is the bugs and the rain. Mosquitoes in Deltona are no joke from April through October, and those afternoon summer storms (often 20-30 minutes of heavy rain) send everyone inside.
A screened porch eliminates both problems. The mosquitoes can't get in, and a proper roof panel keeps the rain out. Many Deltona homeowners tell us their screened porch becomes their favorite room in the house within the first month.
What's Included in Our Screened Porch Builds
Every screened porch we build in Deltona is engineered for Florida conditions — which means aluminum framing, not wood framing that rots, and screen that's rated for Florida wind loads.
- Aluminum frame: Powder-coated aluminum doesn't rust, rot, or need painting. It's the right material for Deltona's humidity and rain.
- Heavy-gauge fiberglass screen: We use 18x14 or 20x20 mesh depending on your insect pressure. No-see-um screen available for areas with tiny biting insects.
- Roof options: Solid insulated panel roof (best for rain protection and heat reduction), metal roofing, or screen roof (more light, less rain protection).
- Door options: Single or double screen doors with self-closing hardware.
- Add-ons: Ceiling fans, lighting, electrical outlets, and TV wall mounts can all be integrated.
Screened Porch vs. Screen Room vs. Florida Room
These terms get used interchangeably, but they're different products at different price points:
- Screened porch: Aluminum frame, screen walls, roof. Bug and rain protection. No climate control. Great for Deltona's mild winters.
- Screen room: Similar to screened porch, typically attached to existing patio slab. Great starter option.
- Florida room (EZE-Breeze or acrylic panels): Vinyl or acrylic panel system. Panels open for airflow, close for rain. More enclosed feel. Higher cost.
Most Deltona homeowners start with a screened porch and are completely satisfied. We'll help you figure out what fits your lifestyle and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions — Screened Porches in Deltona
How much does a screened porch cost in Deltona?
A basic screened porch off an existing slab runs $8,000-15,000 depending on size and roof type. Combined deck-and-screen packages run higher. We provide exact written quotes after seeing your space — these are real numbers, not estimates that double at contract signing.
How long does it take to build a screened porch in Deltona?
Construction takes 3-5 days for most standard screened porches. Permit approval from Volusia County adds 1-2 weeks to the total timeline. We coordinate so materials are ready the day permits are approved.
Will a screened porch handle a Florida storm?
Properly built aluminum-frame screened porches handle normal Florida thunderstorms well. For hurricane conditions, screen is designed to blow out rather than resist — this is intentional, as a screen that holds pressure in a hurricane would damage the frame. Solid panel upgrades provide more weather resistance.
Can you build a screened porch over my existing concrete patio in Deltona?
Yes — an existing concrete patio slab is actually ideal. We anchor the frame directly to the slab. We'll check the slab condition and dimensions before quoting.
