Screened In Porches in Kansas City

A patio enclosure turns an open patio or porch into a comfortable, weather-protected room you can enjoy from spring through fall, without the bugs, pollen, or surprise rain. Horizon Exteriors builds screened and glass enclosures across the Kansas City metro, engineered to fit your home and built to last.

It is also the most budget-friendly way to add outdoor living space, and a natural first step toward a full sunroom down the road. Whether you want a breezy screened porch or a glass enclosure you can use in cooler weather, we help you choose the right system.

Our Patio Enclosure Options

Fine-mesh screen walls keep bugs and debris out while letting the breeze through, ideal for KC spring and fall.

Glass walls extend your season further, keeping the space usable on cooler, windier days while preserving the view.

Screened Porch vs Glass Enclosure vs Sunroom

Patio enclosures sit on a comfort ladder. Here is how a screened porch, a glass enclosure, and a full sunroom compare, so you can match the room to how you want to use it.

	Screened Porch	Glass Enclosure	Sunroom
Walls	Screen mesh	Glass	Insulated glass and walls
Season	Spring to fall	Extended	Year-round
Bugs and weather	Bugs out, open air	Weather out	Fully climate-controlled
Heating and cooling	None	Limited	HVAC
Relative cost	Lowest	Middle	Highest

Many KC homeowners start with a screened enclosure and upgrade later. We build all three, so your enclosure can grow with you. Explore our custom sunrooms.

Built With Renaissance Patio Products

Horizon Exteriors is an authorized Renaissance Patio Products dealer. We screen and enclose patios with the Renaissance Dolce screen system and welded ZEUS screen doors, built on aircraft-grade aluminum frames that will not rot, rust, or sag. When you are ready to step up to glass or a full four-season room, the same engineered framework carries the Lumino glass wall system. Every Renaissance structure is engineered to withstand winds up to 175 mph and carries a lifetime product warranty.

Why Add a Patio Enclosure?

A patio enclosure gives you outdoor living without the downsides: no mosquitoes, no pollen, no rain cutting the evening short. It protects your patio furniture, adds usable square footage and curb appeal, and costs far less than a full room addition, while leaving the door open to a sunroom upgrade later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a screened porch and a patio enclosure?

A screened porch usually means enclosing an existing porch with screen, while a patio enclosure is a screened or glass room built over a patio. Both keep bugs and weather out, and a glass enclosure extends the usable season further than screen alone.

Can I use a patio enclosure in winter?

A screened or single-pane glass enclosure is best from spring through fall. For year-round comfort you would step up to an insulated four-season sunroom, which the same Renaissance framework supports.

How much does a patio enclosure cost in Kansas City?

It depends on the size, whether you choose screen or glass walls, and site conditions. A screened enclosure is the most budget-friendly option. We provide a written, itemized quote after a free in-home visit.

Do I need a permit to enclose a patio in the KC metro?

Most KC-metro cities require a permit to enclose a patio or porch, and HOA rules vary. Horizon Exteriors handles permitting as part of your project.

Can a patio enclosure be upgraded to a sunroom later?

Yes. We build on engineered Renaissance framework, so a screened enclosure can be upgraded to glass or a full insulated sunroom down the road without starting over.

Will a patio enclosure add value to my home?

Yes. It adds usable, protected living space and curb appeal at a lower cost than a full room addition, which makes it an attractive feature for buyers.
