Custom Renaissance Aluminum Screen Room Enclosure | New Poured Concrete Slab Foundation
This Shady Hollow project added a custom Renaissance Patio screen room to the back of an Austin home. We poured a new concrete slab first, then framed and screened the enclosure on top of it. The aluminum-framed Renaissance system was chosen for its rust resistance and its ability to hold up through 100-plus-degree summers. The finished space gives the homeowner a cool, screened retreat safe from cedar pollen and mosquitoes.

For siding, we installed James Hardie HardiePlank in the Select Cedar Mill 8.25-inch profile. Fiber cement was the clear pick for Austin's hail and hard sun exposure. We finished the exterior in a crisp white to match the new windows. The siding resists rot, pests, and the warping that plagues older wood on 1980s and 90s homes.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on Sep 3, 2024. They wanted an outdoor space they could actually use in every season. By Sep 10, 2024, the job had moved from lead to prospect.
We inspected the existing back patio and found the surface wasn't suitable for anchoring a new screen room. The limestone-heavy soil common in Shady Hollow made a stable base a priority. We recommended pouring a fresh concrete slab rather than building on the old patio.
We planned a custom Renaissance screen room sized to the home's patio footprint, with a white finish inside and out. The homeowner approved the scope on Sep 25, 2024. The slab pour was coordinated with the enclosure build so everything lined up.
A local concrete crew, Barrera's Concrete, poured and prepped the new slab first. Our crew then set the aluminum framing, fitted each screen panel, and sealed seams with OSI closed-cell spray foam and Sherwin-Williams 60-year caulk. The full build was completed on Jan 31, 2025.
We walked the finished screen room with the homeowner, checking every seal and screen panel. The result is a bright, bug-free outdoor room ready for Central Texas summers. The project closed out on Mar 11, 2025.
We built a custom Renaissance screen room on a brand-new concrete slab for a home in Shady Hollow, Austin, TX. The finished space turned an exposed back patio into a shaded, bug-free room the homeowner can use year-round.
The back patio had no protection from sun, rain, or insects. The homeowner found us through an internet search in early September and wanted usable outdoor space that worked in every season.
The existing patio surface was not right for the new structure. Shady Hollow sits on the limestone-heavy soil common across South Austin, which shifts and drains unevenly if you build on old or cracked concrete. We decided to pour a fresh slab rather than anchor the screen room to what was already there. That choice matters more than most homeowners realize. A screen room is only as stable as the pad under it, and a new slab gives the aluminum framing a level, load-rated base that won't heave or settle when the ground moves.
We used a Renaissance Patio screen room system with aluminum framing. Aluminum was the clear pick here. It won't rot, rust, or warp the way wood can when temperatures climb past 100 degrees for weeks straight.
The screen panels keep out cedar pollen in winter and mosquitoes in summer, which are the two things that chase people back indoors in Central Texas. We sealed the build with Sherwin-Williams Power House 60-year white caulk at the connection points. That caulk holds its seal through big swings between hot days and cool nights.
The slab pour and the enclosure build were coordinated so framing could start on a cured, level base. Our crew set the aluminum posts, ran the screen panels, and sealed every seam in one focused push.
The homeowner gained a screened outdoor room that stays cool and clear of bugs. The white interior and exterior keep the space bright and blend with the home's exterior.
The original surface wasn't level or strong enough to safely carry the enclosure. On Austin's limestone soil, a fresh, load-rated slab prevents the framing from shifting as the ground moves.
Yes. The screen panels block the heavy cedar pollen that blankets South Austin each winter, so you can sit outside without the sneezing.
Aluminum won't warp, rot, or rust through repeated 100-plus-degree summers. It holds its shape and needs far less upkeep than wood.
The homeowner approved the job on Sep 25, 2024. We built and completed the screen room on Jan 31, 2025, and closed the project on Mar 11, 2025.
