Bugs, dust storms, and blazing sun make open patios miserable in Amarillo. A properly built screened porch gives you outdoor living you can actually use.

Screened-in porches and screened decks in Amarillo, TX enclose your existing outdoor space with framed mesh panels so you get fresh air without bugs or blowing dust, and most projects take one to three weeks of construction once a permit is approved.
A lot of Amarillo homeowners come to us after spending a summer watching their deck sit empty. The mosquitoes move in by May, the dust storms coat everything by June, and the sun makes an open patio feel like standing on asphalt. Screening changes all of that. We build the frame, stretch the mesh tight, and handle the permit process from start to finish - so you get a finished space, not a headache.
If your outdoor space needs more than just screening, our covered decks and patio covers service can add a solid roof that keeps out rain and blocks the worst of the afternoon sun.
If your outdoor space sits unused from late spring through early fall because mosquitoes and flies take over, you have a screening problem. In Amarillo, insects can make an open deck unpleasant within minutes of sunset. Waiting another season just means another year of lost space.
Panhandle haboobs can coat outdoor cushions, furniture, and grills in a thick layer of grit in minutes. That fine brown dust works its way into every surface on an open patio. A screened enclosure acts as a physical barrier that dramatically reduces how much of that dust gets into your outdoor living space.
An open deck with no overhead cover is hard to enjoy when Amarillo's high-elevation sun is blazing down. If your deck sits unused most of the year because it is too exposed, converting it to a screened structure with a solid or lattice roof gives you a shaded, sheltered space that actually gets used.
If you already have a screened porch but the mesh is pulling away from the frame, has visible tears, or lets bugs through at the corners, it is time for professional re-screening. In Amarillo's wind, small tears grow fast - a pinhole today becomes an opening the size of your hand by the end of summer.
We build screened-in porches and screened decks from the ground up and also convert existing open decks into screened spaces. Every project starts with a site visit where we measure the space, assess the existing structure, and walk through your options in person. If you already have a solid deck that is in good shape, adding a screened enclosure is the most cost-effective path. If the deck needs work first, we handle that too - there is no need to manage two separate contractors.
Once your screened porch is in place, you may want to go further with a solid roof overhead. Our covered decks and patio covers service can add a weather-tight roof that keeps out rain and shades the space even on the hottest July afternoons. Many homeowners combine both - a solid cover with screened walls - for year-round outdoor living.
Suits homeowners with a structurally sound open deck who want to enclose it without starting from scratch.
Suits homeowners who want a fully new platform, frame, and screened enclosure built from the ground up.

Suits homeowners who want maximum protection from both bugs and weather - screened walls plus a solid cover above.
Amarillo sits in the Texas Panhandle at over 3,600 feet of elevation, which means intense sun, powerful winds, and seasonal dust storms that are genuinely different from what most contractors in calmer markets deal with. Average wind speeds in Amarillo rank among the highest of any major U.S. city, and the spring haboobs that blow through can bury an open patio in grit within minutes. A screened porch built for Panhandle conditions uses heavier mesh, stronger fasteners, and frame bracing that a contractor from a less windy region might skip. Homeowners in Canyon, TX and across the region see the same conditions and benefit from the same approach.
The other factor worth knowing is that Amarillo's building permit process requires plans and inspections for any structure attached to your home. We handle that entire process - from submitting the application to scheduling the final city inspection - so you never have to make a single call to Development Services. Homeowners in Tascosa, TX and other nearby communities work with the same permit requirements, and we manage those too. The permit protects you when the time comes to sell, and it means an independent set of eyes has confirmed the structure is safe.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We reply within one business day to ask a few basic questions - size of the space, whether you have an existing deck, and what you want the finished space to feel like. No commitment at this stage.
We come to your home, measure the space, and look at how the structure connects to your house. Within a few days you receive a written estimate that breaks down framing, roofing, screen panels, and any deck work - along with a projected timeline.
Once you approve the estimate, we submit the permit application to the City of Amarillo. Permit review typically takes one to two weeks. We handle every step and give you a confirmed start date once the permit is approved.
Framing and roofing go up first - typically two to four days. Screen panels follow once framing is inspected. We finish with a walkthrough where we verify every panel is tight, the door closes smoothly, and there are no gaps at the corners.
Free estimate, written quote, no pressure. We handle the permit and the build.
(806) 468-6064We use heavier mesh, stronger fasteners, and proper frame bracing because Amarillo's sustained winds and spring gusts will pull apart a porch that was built for calmer conditions. A screened porch that looks fine on a calm day but fails in the first 50-mph gust is not a value.
We pull the permit, submit the plans to the City of Amarillo, and schedule every required inspection. You never have to call Development Services or wonder whether the work was done to code. When you sell your home, you will have documentation that the structure was built correctly.
We have been building outdoor structures in Amarillo and the surrounding Panhandle communities since 2016. That means we know the soil conditions, the permit office, the HOA requirements in common subdivisions, and the weather that will test your build within the first year.
We follow North American Deck and Railing Association standards for framing, connections, and screen installation. That means tight panels with no sag, square frames, and ledger connections that are properly flashed so water cannot work behind the structure over time.
Every screened porch we build in Amarillo is designed around the specific conditions here - wind, dust, temperature swings, and local permit requirements. The result is a space that holds up through the seasons and actually does what you paid for it to do.
Add a solid or insulated roof over your outdoor space to block rain and the intense Amarillo sun year-round.
