If your patio needs real protection from insects, wind-driven rain, and Texas sun, a lanai screen enclosure is the clean, low-maintenance upgrade. Arlington Screens (serving since 2015) installs and repairs aluminum-framed lanai enclosures with tight screening, solid door hardware, and clean tie-ins to existing roofs and slabs.
Every good lanai screen enclosure starts with a straight, anchored base. We verify slab condition, slope, and attachment points, then lay out the footprint with square corners and true plumb lines before any framing goes up. Posts and tracks are fastened with corrosion-resistant anchors sized for the concrete, and we use proper shims and isolators so the frame stays aligned and doesn’t twist over time. If we are repairing an existing enclosure, we start by checking loose kick plates, bowed rails, damaged spline channels, and any corrosion at fasteners, then we stabilize the structure before re-screening.
North Texas weather is hard on screening, so we build for real-world movement and water. We seal critical penetrations, manage transitions at fascia and rooflines, and keep the bottom track set to minimize debris and standing water. Screen options are matched to the use, including fiberglass insect mesh for airflow, tougher pet-resistant mesh for doors and lower panels, and solar screen where glare and heat are the priority. Finish details matter, so we align panels, keep screen tension even, set clean spline runs, and tune door closers, handles, and latches for smooth operation without racking.
Arlington customers choose us because we treat a lanai screen enclosure like a system, not a quick re-screen. You get a licensed and insured contractor that shows up with the right tools, from rotary hammer drills for anchors to screen rolling tools and tension gauges for consistent results. We write clear estimates, explain material choices (frame gauge, mesh type, spline size, fasteners), and we do the small things that prevent callbacks, like correcting sagging headers, replacing worn hinges, and reinforcing high-traffic corners. The goal is a clean, square enclosure that looks right and holds up through heat, storms, and daily use.
After installation or repair, we do a walkthrough with you and verify the enclosure functions the way it should. We check door alignment, latch engagement, sweep and threshold fit, and screen tension on every panel, then confirm all fasteners are seated and trim is secure. You will receive a written scope of work, material selections, and care guidance, including how to rinse pollen and dust, when to tighten hardware, and what to watch for after severe weather. If you are planning upgrades later, we can also note options like adding a screen door, pet door panel, or replacing sun-facing bays with solar screen.

Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing your project details and measuring on site when needed.
Yes. We rescreen torn panels, replace spline, straighten or replace bent frames when possible, and service screen door hardware like rollers, hinges, and latches.
We build and repair screen porches, patio enclosures, pool and lanai screening, and screened entry systems. We can also replace doors and upgrade hardware for smoother operation.
Timing depends on the number of panels, frame condition, and access. Many small repairs can be completed quickly once materials are confirmed, while larger enclosures require measuring, fabrication, and scheduled installation.
Usually, yes. We match mesh color and openness as closely as possible and use the correct spline size for the existing frame so the finished panels look uniform.
A lanai screen enclosure turns an exposed patio into a usable outdoor room by keeping out mosquitoes, reducing windblown debris, and softening sun without closing off airflow. Arlington Screens installs new enclosures and handles repairs like torn mesh, loose tracks, sagging doors, and storm damage. Whether you need a full build or a targeted re-screen, we focus on square framing, secure anchoring, and consistent screen tension so the enclosure stays tight and looks clean from every angle.
Most lanai screen enclosure problems start at the edges, loose fasteners, warped rails, and screen that has lost tension from heat cycles. We inspect the frame for plumb and square, then correct what is causing the failure before installing new mesh. For re-screening, we remove damaged material, clean the spline channel, and install new screen with the correct spline diameter for a firm hold. High-wear areas like doors and lower panels can be upgraded to pet-resistant mesh, while sun-facing openings can use solar screen to cut glare and reduce heat load.
For new builds, we plan the layout around how you actually use the space, traffic flow, furniture placement, and door swing. The aluminum frame is anchored to concrete with corrosion-resistant hardware, and panels are aligned so seams and horizontals read straight. We also pay attention to water management at transitions, keeping attachment points sealed and tracks positioned to avoid trapping debris. The result is a lanai screen enclosure that stays tight, opens and closes smoothly, and maintains a clean appearance over time.
When you are ready, we will provide a free written estimate and walk you through screen types, hardware options, and the repair versus replace decision. If you have an older enclosure, we can often extend its life by replacing failed fasteners, reinforcing corners, and re-screening with tougher mesh. For new installations, we will outline the build sequence, expected timelines, and what you will need to do before we arrive.
