We build them as one — permitted, engineered for wind load, inspected and closed out. Every person on site is our own employee, covered by workers’ compensation. There are no subcontractors on a Screen Machines job.
Why the license matters
Volusia’s screen companies compete on responsiveness and price. None of them compete on this, because most of them cannot. If you are handing over five figures for a structure attached to your house, these are the questions worth asking whoever you hire.
An enclosure is permitted work in every Volusia jurisdiction. We pull the permit, answer plan review, and close it out with the inspection. An unpermitted structure follows the property to closing and becomes the seller’s problem years later — usually at the worst possible moment.
Span, post spacing, beam sizing and bracing all follow from the wind speed and exposure category for your specific site — not from what fitted the last job. That number should be on the drawing you are handed, and on ours it is.
Every person on your property is our W-2 employee, covered. No subcontractors. If a crew member is hurt on an uninsured subcontractor’s job, the homeowner can end up part of that conversation — and most homeowners have never been told that.
Galvanised hardware in Florida corrodes, bleeds rust down white frames, and eventually loses its grip at the anchor. Stainless costs more on day one. It is the difference between a cage that is still tight in year fifteen and one that is being re-anchored in year seven.
Typical elevation
Uprights, beam, purlins, knee bracing and the connection at the slab. The mesh is the last thing that goes on and the first thing anyone notices — everything that matters is behind it.
What we build
Designed, permitted and built over new or existing decks, sized to the lot’s wind exposure.
Start a site visit →Covered porches, lanais and entryways enclosed as permitted structures.
Start a site visit →Extending an existing cage over new deck area — structurally the trickiest job on this list and the one most companies decline.
Start a site visit →Every panel and all new spline, with the frame and every anchor inspected as it comes apart.
Start a site visit →Post-storm assessment, insurance-ready documentation, and rebuild of damaged bays or elevations.
Start a site visit →Bent or corroded members replaced, failed anchors reset, bracing added where a cage has started to move.
Start a site visit →How a project runs
Four stages in that order. The middle two are the ones a faster company skips.
Measurements, exposure, slab condition and host wall assessed in person before a number is given.
Drawings prepared to the site’s wind load and submitted to your jurisdiction. Plan review comments handled by us.
Our own employees on site, working to the approved drawing, with stainless hardware throughout.
Inspected and the permit closed out, so the structure is on record and clean at resale.
