If you already have a patio but wish you could use it more often, a patio enclosure might be exactly what you need. Patio enclosures turn your existing outdoor space into a protected area where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors without dealing with bugs, wind, or harsh sun. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to add functional living space to your home.

Here in Flagstaff, AZ, patios are popular because our climate is perfect for outdoor living most of the year. But even in beautiful weather, bugs can be a nuisance, afternoons can get hot, and sudden rain showers can ruin your plans. A patio enclosure solves all these problems. You get the best of both worlds: the feeling of being outside with the comfort and protection of being inside.

At BoldChoice Flagstaff Sunrooms, we've been building patio enclosures since 2024. We work with your existing patio structure to create a custom enclosure that fits your budget and lifestyle. Whether you want a simple screen room or a fully enclosed glass patio, we'll design and build a space you'll use every day. Our expert installation team in Flagstaff handles everything from design to final inspection.

Types of Patio Enclosures

Not all patio enclosures are the same. Depending on how you want to use your space and your budget, you can choose from several different styles. Here are the most popular options.

Screen Enclosures

Screen enclosures are the simplest and most affordable option. We frame your patio with aluminum or vinyl posts and fill the walls with durable screens. You get protection from bugs and some shade from the sun, while still enjoying fresh air and breezes. Screen enclosures are perfect if you want a low-maintenance space for warmer months. Many Flagstaff homeowners use them as outdoor dining areas or casual lounging spaces.

Glass Enclosures

Glass enclosures offer more protection and comfort than screen rooms. We use large glass panels, either fixed or sliding, to enclose your patio. Glass blocks wind, rain, and dust while letting in natural light. Some glass enclosures are three-season designs with single-pane glass, while others use insulated glass for four-season use. Glass enclosures give you a cleaner, more polished look and work well if you want to use your patio in cooler weather.

Combination Enclosures

Combination enclosures mix screens and glass to give you flexibility. For example, you might have glass panels on the windward side of your patio and screens on the other sides. Or you might use removable glass panels that you install in fall and remove in spring. Combination enclosures are great if you want to adapt your space to different seasons. We can help you design a system that works for your specific needs.

Why Add a Patio Enclosure?

Patio enclosures are one of the smartest home improvements you can make. They're affordable, practical, and add real value to your property. Here's why Flagstaff homeowners love their patio enclosures.

  • Bug-free outdoor living: Enjoy your patio without swatting mosquitoes or flies
  • Weather protection: Stay comfortable during wind, rain, or intense sun
  • Extended patio season: Use your outdoor space for more months of the year
  • Lower cost than full additions: Enclosing an existing patio costs less than building new
  • Increased home value: Buyers love functional outdoor spaces
  • Versatile use: Perfect for dining, entertaining, hobbies, or relaxing

Another benefit is curb appeal. A well-designed patio enclosure makes your home look finished and polished. It shows buyers that you've invested in quality improvements, which can pay off when it's time to sell. Plus, you get to enjoy the space yourself for years before you ever think about resale.

How We Build Your Patio Enclosure

Building a patio enclosure is faster and simpler than building a sunroom from scratch, but it still requires skill and attention to detail. Here's what you can expect when you work with BoldChoice Flagstaff Sunrooms.

First, we visit your home to assess your existing patio. We measure the space, check the foundation, and discuss your goals. Do you want screens or glass? Do you need a roof, or will we tie into your existing roofline? We'll answer all your questions and provide a detailed estimate.

Next, we handle permits and paperwork. Most patio enclosures require approval from local building departments, and we take care of that for you. Once permits are approved, we schedule your installation. Depending on the complexity of your project, installation typically takes 1 to 3 weeks.

During installation, we build the frame, install screens or glass, add a roof if needed, and finish with trim and details. We keep your property clean and respect your daily routine. When we're done, you'll have a beautiful, functional patio enclosure ready to enjoy.

If you're also considering a screen room, we can explain the differences and help you choose the right option for your property and budget.
