Screen Rooms Panama City Beach, FL

Turn Your Unused Patio Into a Room You'll Use Every Single Day.

ICustom aluminum screen rooms built by Brannan Aluminum — adding bug-free, shaded, comfortable living space to Panhandle homes since 1992. The smartest home improvement you'll make at a fraction of traditional addition costs.

You Have the Space. You Just Can't Use It.

There's a perfectly good patio attached to your home that sits empty most of the time. Not because it's poorly built — because the moment you settle in, mosquitoes arrive. No-see-ums find every gap. Afternoon sun heats the furniture to the point of being untouchable. You've invested in the outdoor space, but the Florida elements keep winning every evening.

Adding interior square footage to solve this costs $150–$300 per square foot once you factor in permits, HVAC, and construction. That's not a realistic solution for most homeowners. And if you rent your property, guests notice immediately — a patio that's only usable during a narrow window between sunset and bug arrival doesn't generate five-star reviews or repeat bookings.

Permanent Bug Protection. New Living Space. Completed in Days.

A custom screen room converts your existing patio into a fully usable outdoor living area — permanently enclosed with aluminum framing and quality screening that keeps every mosquito, no-see-um, fly, and wasp completely outside while letting Gulf breezes flow freely through. No sprays. No candles. No zappers. Just comfortable outdoor living every morning, afternoon, and evening regardless of the season.

Brannan has constructed 200+ custom screen rooms across Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven, and 30A over 33 years. Getting a screen room right requires precision that most DIY attempts and bargain contractors miss — proper aluminum framing tensioned to Florida wind load standards, screens fitted without gaps or sag, doors aligned to operate smoothly for years, and roof integration that never leaks. Every Brannan screen room passes Florida Building Code inspection, holds up through coastal wind loads, and maintains its screen integrity for 10+ years. That track record is why Panhandle homeowners keep calling us back for every project.

What Panama City Homeowners Say About Our Screen Rooms

The Room You'll Wish You Built Years Ago.

Sunday morning — you carry your coffee outside into your screen room. A Gulf breeze moves through the screening. Birds are going. Not a single mosquito. You stay for two hours reading without swatting once, without moving inside, without checking the clock.

That evening, your family gathers for dinner in the screen room. No citronella candles on the table. No one asking to go inside. Conversation runs late because nobody is getting eaten alive. The ceiling fan keeps the air moving. The screens keep everything else out.

That's what a screen room delivers — not just square footage, but hours of your day back every single week.

With a Brannan screen room:

Bug-free outdoor living reclaimed permanently · New usable living space at 40–60% less than interior additions · Furniture and electronics protected from the elements · Rental guests stay longer and leave better reviews · Built in days, not months · Florida Building Code approved

Without one:

Mosquitoes and no-see-ums own your evenings spring through fall · Expensive outdoor furniture sitting unused most of the year · Every gathering cut short by bugs or heat · Rental bookings hurt by limited outdoor living appeal · Paying premium prices for interior square footage you don't need

The Screen Behind the Protection: Fenetex Hurricane Screens

For homeowners who want full storm defense without the look of solid shutters, Brannan Aluminum is proud to install Fenetex motorized hurricane screens — one of the most advanced hurricane protection systems available today.

What makes Fenetex different:

Fenetex hurricane screens are built with Twitchell OmegaTex fabric — engineered with the same aramid fibers used in ballistic body armor. They're rated to withstand winds up to 185 MPH, are Miami-Dade certified for High Velocity Hurricane Zones, and block 91% of the sun's UV rays while still allowing visibility through the screen.

Unlike solid roll-down shutters, Fenetex screens let light and airflow in when you want it — then lock down completely when a storm approaches. They operate silently, self-tension automatically, and never bag or sag. A lifetime warranty backs every unit.

Fenetex screen options available through Brannan:

Hurricane Screens — Full storm protection, aramid-fiber construction, Miami-Dade certified

Insect Screens — Keep bugs out without blocking your view or breeze

Dual Screens — Two independent screens in one track (e.g., hurricane + insect)

Whether you're protecting a lanai, an open patio, a garage bay, or a commercial balcony, Fenetex screens give you storm defense that disappears completely when the weather is clear — and deploys silently at the push of a button when it isn't.

Brannan has constructed 200+ custom screen rooms across Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven, and 30A over 33 years.

The Brannan Answer

Does a screen room need a permit or HOA approval in Florida?

Yes. A screen room is a permanent structure, so it needs a building permit and inspection, and Brannan handles that. Many communities also require architectural review, including along 30A, where approval comes before construction. We prepare the application and do not start work until the approval is in hand. Unpermitted work can also complicate insurance claims and resale. We do not build structures without permits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Rooms

What is a screen room, and how is it different from a pool enclosure?

A screen room is an aluminum-framed, screened enclosure built on an existing patio or porch, usually under or extending a roof. It keeps out mosquitoes, no-see-ums, flies and wasps while letting breezes through. A pool enclosure is a larger structure built around a pool deck. Screen rooms are generally simpler and quicker to build.

Will a screen room keep out no-see-ums?

Yes, if it uses the right mesh. Brannan offers four screening options: standard fiberglass, Super Screen, solar screening and no-see-um mesh. The finest mesh stops the smallest insects but can slightly reduce airflow and visibility, so we help you choose based on your bug problem and how you use the room. We confirm door placement and electrical needs at the assessment.

How long does it take to build a screen room?

Most screen rooms are built in 3 to 7 days once the permit is issued and materials are on site, and larger or more complex projects can take up to two weeks. Permitting, HOA review and material lead times come before construction starts, and your written proposal includes a timeline.

Can I add hurricane protection to a screen room?

Yes. Regular screening is not storm protection, but Brannan installs Fenetex® MaxForce™ Hurricane Screens, which are approved for use in Miami-Dade County and the HVHZ under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15 and tested and certified for the 185 mph wind zone. Brannan also installs One-Track™ insect screens and dual-screen systems for lanais, patios, garage bays and open spans. The screens let light and air through when open and lock down when a storm approaches.

How much does a screen room cost compared with a sunroom?

A screen room typically costs considerably less than a glass sunroom or an interior room addition. Price depends on dimensions, screening choice, roof configuration (existing roof extension, new roof or hybrid), doors and electrical prep. Brannan gives you a written proposal with exact dimensions and firm pricing after a free consultation.
