Screen Rooms & Outdoor Living in the Treasure Valley

Screen rooms and complete outdoor living spaces

The final step in getting the most out of your backyard is making it comfortable enough to use for hours, not minutes — and for three seasons, not three weeks. That's where screen rooms and full outdoor living build-outs come in. A screen room gives you all the best parts of being outside — fresh air, shade, the view and the breeze — without the mosquitoes, harsh sun and wind that cut an evening short. Add lighting, fans, heaters and an outdoor kitchen, and you have a space you'll use from the first warm days of spring through the crisp evenings of fall. At Boise Covered Patios we design and build custom screen rooms and complete outdoor living spaces for homeowners across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa and the surrounding Treasure Valley.

Because we design and build the structure, the screening and the finishing features together, everything fits and functions as one cohesive space — and you have a single accountable team from concept to completion.

Custom screen rooms and three-season rooms

A screen room, sometimes called a three-season room, encloses a covered patio with fine mesh screening to keep insects out while letting air and light flow freely. The result is a comfortable, shaded room that feels open to the outdoors but protects you from the bugs and glare that make an unscreened patio hard to enjoy at dusk. We build screen rooms as part of a new patio cover or pavilion, or add them to a well-built existing structure, with sturdy framing, quality screen and doors that close cleanly. For many families, a screen room quickly becomes the most-used room in the house during the warm months.

Screening an existing patio cover

If you already have a solid patio cover or pavilion in good condition, you may be closer to a screen room than you think. In many cases we can assess your existing structure and add screening, along with lighting and other outdoor living features, to upgrade it into an enclosed three-season space. This is often a cost-effective way to dramatically expand how and when you use a patio you already have. During a consultation we'll evaluate whether your current cover is a good candidate and lay out the options.

Lighting, fans and heaters

Comfort is what turns a covered patio into a genuine living space, and the right systems extend your usable hours and seasons dramatically. Integrated and decorative lighting makes the space inviting after dark and safe to move through. Ceiling fans keep air circulating on warm, still evenings. And patio heaters or infrared heating let you push comfortable use well into the cooler months, so the space doesn't go dormant the moment the temperature drops. We plan and wire for these features from the start, so there are no awkward retrofits later.

Outdoor kitchens

An outdoor kitchen is the centerpiece of serious outdoor living, and we design them to work seamlessly within your covered or screened space. Whether you want a built-in grill and prep counter or a fuller setup with storage, a sink and seating, we build the kitchen around how you cook and entertain. Locating it under a solid cover or inside a screen room means you can host comfortably regardless of sun or light weather, and it keeps the cooking — and the guests — right where the action is.

Fire features and cooler-season comfort

Nothing extends outdoor evenings like a fire, and a fireplace or fire feature gives your space a warm, natural gathering point once the sun goes down. Combined with heaters and enclosure options, fire features help stretch comfortable use of the space well into Idaho's cooler months, so your investment keeps paying off long after summer ends. We help you choose and integrate the right heating and fire options for how you plan to use the space.

Materials and durability

Every element of an outdoor living space has to stand up to the elements, so we build with durable, weather-appropriate materials throughout — from the structure and screening to the finishes and fixtures. We engineer covers and enclosures for local snow and wind loads, use quality screen and hardware that resists sun and wear, and select finishes that hold up to our high-desert climate. The goal is a space that looks great for years and needs minimal upkeep, not one that shows its age after a single season.

One team for the whole project

The biggest advantage of building your outdoor living space with a single specialist is that everything is designed to work together. Because we handle the structure, the screening, the lighting and fans, the kitchen and the fire features, there's no juggling multiple contractors, no gaps between trades and no finger-pointing when something needs to fit just right. You get one accountable local crew coordinating the entire build, which means a smoother project and a more cohesive finished space.

Our design and build process

We begin with a free consultation to understand how you want to live outside — how you entertain, when you use the yard and what would make you use it more. We take measurements, review options and provide a custom design with an itemized quote and no surprises. After approval, we handle any required engineering and permits, then build efficiently with clean job sites, finishing with a walkthrough so every detail is right. From first idea to final feature, you work with one team.

A space designed around how you live outside

The best outdoor living spaces are built around the way a specific family actually uses the backyard, and that's the approach we take on every project. Maybe you host big summer dinners and need a screened space with an outdoor kitchen and generous seating; maybe you want a quiet, bug-free spot to unwind in the evening with fans and soft lighting; maybe you want to stretch the season with heaters and a fireplace so the space stays comfortable into fall. Whatever the priority, we tailor the layout, features and finishes to match — combining screening, lighting, heating, cooking and fire features into one cohesive space that fits your home and gets used day after day.
