The Best Time to Transform Your Backyard: Why Now is the Season for a Custom Enclosure
As we move through the early months of the year, many homeowners are looking at their outdoor spaces and imagining the possibilities. While the weather might still have a lingering chill or unpredictable rain, that is actually the perfect indicator that it’s time to upgrade.
At Palacios Screen and Enclosures, we believe there is no better time than right now to invest in a high-quality screen or patio enclosure. Here is why this season is the strategic choice for your home.
1. Beat the Elements Before They Beat You
Whether it’s the unexpected rain showers of spring or the intense heat and mosquitoes of the upcoming summer, an enclosure acts as your home’s first line of defense. By building now, you ensure that by the time the “outdoor season” hits its peak, you already have a climate-controlled, pest-free sanctuary ready to enjoy.
2. Boost Your Property Value Instantly
A custom enclosure isn’t just a home improvement; it’s a smart investment. Square footage is king in real estate. By enclosing your patio or pool area, you are effectively adding a “bonus room” to your floor plan. This increase in usable living space provides an immediate boost to your property’s market value and curb appeal.
3. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
Why limit yourself to the four walls of your house? An enclosure allows you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without the drawbacks.
Protection: Keep your patio furniture clean and dry.
Safety: Provide a secure area for children and pets to play.
Comfort: Enjoy the breeze while staying shielded from the direct glare of the sun.
4. Get Ahead of the Seasonal Rush
As the weather warms up, contractor schedules fill up fast. By starting your project with Palacios Screen and Enclosures now, you benefit from more flexible scheduling and faster project completion times. Don’t wait until the first heatwave to realize you need a screen—be the neighbor who is already sitting comfortably in the shade.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is this the best time of year to start my enclosure project? Starting your project now allows you to beat the “summer rush” when contractor schedules are busiest. Building during this season ensures your outdoor space is fully protected and ready to enjoy before the peak of the rainy season and the arrival of heavy mosquito activity.
2. How much value does a screen enclosure add to my home? While exact figures vary by location, a well-built enclosure significantly increases property value by adding “functional square footage.” It improves curb appeal and makes your home much more attractive to future buyers who prioritize outdoor living and low-maintenance backyards.
3. Can a screen enclosure really help with the local weather? Absolutely. Our enclosures are designed to shield you from the intense Florida sun (UV protection), keep out debris like leaves and dirt during windy days, and provide a dry space during those sudden afternoon downpours, effectively extending the life of your patio furniture.
4. How long does the installation process typically take? Most standard screen enclosures can be installed within a few days once the design is finalized and permits are approved. By starting the process today, we can navigate the permitting phase quickly so you can start enjoying your new space as soon as possible.
