Trusted screen specialists for La Place homes and pools
Homeowners in La Place call New Orleans Screens most often after a windy thunderstorm rips screens, when mosquitoes and gnats get bad along the river, or when older pool cages start sagging in the humidity. Our team has spent years working on homes throughout St. John the Baptist Parish, so we know the mix of older brick ranch homes, 70s and 80s constructions, and newer subdivisions that sit in the full Louisiana sun.
We are fully insured, we focus only on screening and enclosures, and we understand what the local climate does to aluminum frames and screen fabric. In La Place, the combination of high humidity, frequent summer storms, and the occasional tropical system means screens stretch, rusted fasteners back out, and small tears quickly turn into big openings. We build and repair screens with that reality in mind, using hardware and materials that handle the local conditions.
Whether your house backs up to a drainage canal, sits closer to the river, or is in a newer cul de sac, we can match the style and proportions of your existing porch or patio so the screens look like they were there from day one, not an afterthought.
Screen installation tailored to La Place weather and homes
For new screen installations in La Place, we start by looking at how your property handles sun, wind, and standing water. Many homes here sit on relatively low, flat lots, so we check for areas that hold water after heavy rain, then suggest screen layouts that allow good airflow so your patio or porch dries out quickly.
Our process begins with a short conversation about how you actually use your outdoor space. For example, some La Place families want a fully screened back porch where kids can play without bug spray during warm evenings, while others want a more open feel around the pool but still need protection from lovebugs and mosquitoes.
After that, we measure your existing slab, soffits, and fascia, then recommend screen types that work in our climate. In La Place we often install tighter weave screens that help cut down on tiny gnats that come off nearby water and marshy areas. For west facing patios that catch strong afternoon sun off the river side, we can suggest solar screens that reduce glare and heat but still allow breezes.
Once you approve the design, New Orleans Screens handles permits if needed, orders materials rated for coastal Louisiana, and schedules installation so you are not left with an open patio for days at a time. On installation day we set the frame, square everything carefully, stretch the screen evenly, and seal all edges so lizards, wasps, and mosquitoes have no easy entry points.
Screen repair for storm damage, pets, and everyday wear
It is common in La Place for screens to take a beating during summer storms and the windy days that precede a tropical system in the Gulf. Many of our repair calls come after a storm has pushed branches into panels, or after pets have clawed at door screens chasing lizards and frogs that like the moist areas around slabs.
With New Orleans Screens, screen repair starts with a walk around your enclosure or porch. We look for obvious tears, but we also check corners, door hardware, and spline channels, since the constant moisture and heat here can make old rubber spline brittle and loose.
We can replace single panels on a pool enclosure, patch or re-screen entire walls on a porch, and upgrade you to stronger pet resistant screens on doors where dogs or cats tend to scratch. In older La Place neighborhoods where original screens have been up for decades, we often find faded material that has lost its tension. In those cases, we explain the pros and cons of spot repair versus full rescreening so you can decide what fits your budget and long term plans.
Our repairs are neat and tidy, with attention to re securing loose screws and tightening door closers so you do not end up with gaps that invite in mosquitoes and palmetto bugs after dark.
Pool enclosure installation and pool cage rescreening
Many La Place homeowners invest in backyard pools to cope with the long, hot summer season, but without a pool enclosure the water can quickly fill with leaves, seed pods, and bugs that blow in on afternoon thunderstorms. New Orleans Screens designs and installs pool enclosures that fit the dimensions of your existing pool deck and work around existing landscaping and equipment.
We consider how wind tends to move across your yard, especially in more open areas that are not shielded by tall trees. That helps us plan bracing and panel layout so your enclosure is sturdy during those quick moving storms that roll off the river.
For existing cages that are still structurally sound but covered in faded or torn screens, we offer complete pool cage rescreening. In La Place, we often recommend heavier duty screen fabric for the roof panels since they catch the most debris during storm season. Side panels might use a finer mesh to better block small insects that thrive in the warm, damp environment.
Our rescreening process involves removing old screen, inspecting and tightening frame connections, replacing rusted screws with more corrosion resistant hardware, and then installing new screen with even tension. When we finish, your pool area feels new again, with clearer views and less debris in the water.
Patio, lanai, and screened room enclosures for everyday living
Because La Place has relatively mild winters and long shoulder seasons, screened patios and lanais see use almost year round. New Orleans Screens creates patio screening systems for existing slabs and covered areas, turning open concrete pads into functional living space that stays usable even when the mosquitoes are at their worst.
For homes with back porches under the main roofline, we can add screen walls and doors without changing the structure of the house. This is popular in La Place neighborhoods where people like to sit outside during evening thunderstorms and feel the breeze without worrying about blown in debris or bugs.
Lanai screen enclosures can run from simple, clean frames with clear sightlines to more private setups with additional vertical supports. We pay attention to how your yard drains during heavy rain, then leave enough clearance at the base of screen walls and install appropriate thresholds so water can escape instead of pooling inside your enclosure.
We also repair existing patio and lanai screen systems. If your screened room has sagging panels, loose doors that bang in the wind, or corners separating from the house wall, we can address those issues before they turn into bigger structural problems. Our goal is to keep your outdoor space comfortable so you can enjoy cookouts, crawfish boils, and family gatherings without fighting the local insect population.
