Florida living comes with a lot of perks and a lot of bugs. If you have been putting off doing something about your outdoor space, a custom screen enclosure might be exactly what you need to change how you use your backyard. At Screen Enclosures by Colonial Construction, we have been helping Mandarin homeowners build spaces that withstand heat, humidity, and the occasional afternoon storm.
Custom screen enclosures in Mandarin, FL, go well beyond a simple screened-in porch. We work with your property’s layout, aesthetic preferences, and budget to create something that fits your home.
Professional Custom Screen Enclosure Design and Build Services in Mandarin, FL
Much of the region’s outdoor potential goes unused because the heat and insects make spending time outdoors uncomfortable. A professionally installed screen enclosure changes that entirely.
We handle the full process from start to finish, which includes:
- Site evaluation to assess your outdoor footprint and how the enclosure will integrate with your existing structure
- Custom framing and layout tailored to the dimensions and style of your home
- Aluminum framing in a range of finishes that hold up against Northeast Florida’s climate
- Screen mesh selection based on your priorities, including insect protection, solar screening, or pet-resistant options
- Permit coordination so you do not have to navigate local requirements on your own
Mandarin properties often feature generous backyards, pool areas, and covered patios that pair well with an enclosure addition. Our team knows the neighborhood and understands what works structurally and visually in this part of Jacksonville.
If you are also thinking about upgrading the ground beneath your feet, our paver installation services pair well with any screen enclosure project.
What’s Included in Our Custom Screen Enclosure Design and Build Services
When you work with us, you are getting a full-service experience, not just a crew that shows up with materials and figures it out on the fly. Here is what goes into a Colonial Construction custom screen enclosure:
- Consultation and Design
Our team visits your Mandarin property, takes measurements, and listens to what you want from the space. From there, we put together a plan that works with your home’s architecture.
- Material Selection
- We offer:
- Heavy-duty aluminum frames available in multiple powder-coat finishes
- Standard fiberglass screening for everyday insect protection
- Solar screen options to reduce glare and heat
- Pet-resistant and high-visibility screen mesh for households with animals
- Construction and Installation
Our crew handles all structural work, including footings and posts as needed, roof panel installation, and screen installation throughout the full enclosure. We work clean and leave the site in better shape than we found it.
- Post-Installation Follow-Up
If something needs attention after installation, we address it. Mandarin homeowners have come back to us repeatedly over the years, and that kind of repeat business is the clearest sign of our priorities.
Our luxury outdoor living packages offer expanded options beyond the enclosure itself for homeowners who want to take their outdoor space even further.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of screen mesh works best for homes in Mandarin, FL?
The answer depends on your priorities. Fiberglass mesh handles everyday insect protection well, solar screening reduces heat and glare, and pet-resistant mesh withstands heavier wear. We walk you through the options during your consultation so you can choose what best fits your household.
Will a custom screen enclosure add value to my Mandarin home?
A well-built screen enclosure adds usable square footage to your property and tends to appeal strongly to buyers in Florida’s outdoor-focused market. Many Mandarin homeowners see it as one of the more practical upgrades they can make, given how much of the year the outdoor space is usable.
How do I maintain a screen enclosure after installation?
Upkeep is minimal. Periodic rinsing with a garden hose keeps the frame and mesh in good condition, and a visual check after major storms helps catch any minor damage early. We also stand behind our work, so if anything comes up post-installation, reach out, and we will take care of it.
