Screen Rooms in New Orleans, LA

Ask anyone who has tried to enjoy a New Orleans evening outside between March and November: the mosquitoes decide when you go in. That’s a shame, because the porch is where this city has always lived. Big Easy Patios builds screen rooms across New Orleans so you can keep the breeze, the streetlight glow, and the sound of a summer downpour without feeding the bugs.

A Porch Tradition That Still Makes Sense

Screened porches are an old New Orleans habit for good reason. Long before air conditioning, families cooled off behind screen doors and wire mesh, and the idea never stopped working. We build modern versions of that tradition on shotgun side yards, tucked-away courtyards, and full backyard patios. Tight urban lots don’t scare us; a screen room that runs down the side of a shotgun can turn a strip of dead space into the most used room in the house.

Engineered for Flat Ground and Heavy Rain

The city sits flat on soft alluvial delta soil, and downpours here arrive fast and hard. So we start every screen room with the structure, not the screens: engineered, wind-rated frames and covers designed with hurricane season in mind, June through November. The screen panels themselves are tensioned individually, so if a storm or an excited dog tears one, you replace that single panel instead of rescreening the whole wall. Prefer open air on the nice days? Motorized retractable screens drop at the push of a button and disappear when you don’t need them.

Already Have a Covered Patio?

Screening an existing covered patio or porch is often the fastest win in the city. If the roof structure is sound, we can enclose it with tensioned panels and a screen door in short order. Starting from scratch instead? Pair a new screen room with one of our patio covers in New Orleans, or plan the whole outdoor space at once with a custom patio underneath it. Either way, the goal is the same: an evening outside that ends when you decide, not when the bugs do.
