Screened enclosures& detached structures
Pool enclosures, screened patios, rescreens, and detached garages, sheds and carports, all built under our Certified Building Contractor licence, CBC1270530.
Outdoor livingwith the bugs left outside
Living in Northeast Florida means spending a lot of time outdoors, but between the heat, humidity, rain and bugs, it’s not always as comfortable as it could be. Screened enclosures and detached structures give you the best of both worlds: outdoor living with added protection and function.
Whether you’re looking to enclose a pool, cover a patio, or add a detached garage or shed, these additions expand your space while increasing your home’s value. As a Certified Building Contractor, we build them to handle Florida’s sun, storms and weather year-round.
That licence, CBC1270530, held by Advocate Roofing and Construction, is the reason a roofing company can build you a structure. It is a different licence from the roofing one, and both are current.
Why the licence matterson a project like this
An enclosure is a structure. It is framed, anchored to a slab or a footing, and in most jurisdictions it is permitted and inspected like any other addition to your home. A detached garage is more so.
We work with all county, city and municipality building departments across Northeast Florida (Duval, Nassau, Clay and St. Johns) and we will never perform unpermitted work on your property. We pull the permit, book the inspections and see them through to final sign-off.
Call or text (904) 707-6546 to talk through what you have in mind. Inspections are free and estimates are no-obligation.
Screenedenclosures
A screened enclosure lets you enjoy fresh air without constantly dealing with insects, debris or harsh direct sunlight. Whether it’s a pool enclosure or a screened patio, we focus on secure framing, proper anchoring and clean finishes that blend seamlessly with your home.
From new builds to rescreening and structural repairs, we make sure your enclosure is sturdy, functional and built to last.
Detachedstructures
Need extra storage, a workshop or covered parking? Detached structures like garages, sheds and carports add practical space without altering your main home’s layout.
Our team handles planning, foundation prep, framing and finishing so your structure is both durable and visually cohesive with your property. Whether it’s simple and functional or fully customized, we’ll help bring your vision to life.
Rescreens & repairson what you already have
Screen is a wear item. Sun degrades it, storms tear it, and pets find the panel nearest the door. Replacing screen in a frame that is still sound is a fraction of the cost of a new enclosure, and it is one of the most common jobs we do here.
The frame itself is worth a look at the same time. Corroded fasteners, damaged uprights and anchors that have worked loose are the things that turn a rescreen into a rebuild two seasons later, and they are all repairable while we are already on site.
If the structure genuinely is past saving, we will tell you that rather than putting new screen on a frame that will not hold it.

Enclosures & structuresquestions we get asked
When properly installed and anchored, screened enclosures are built to handle Florida weather conditions. We follow proper installation methods to ensure strength and stability, and the anchoring detail is where that is won or lost. Local building departments set the requirements for your address, and we build to what they require and pull the permit for it.
Yes. We work with you to design a structure that fits your space, needs and budget. That covers footprint, roof style, door and window placement, and how closely the finish matches your main house. Setbacks, easements and any HOA requirements shape what is possible on your specific lot, so we check those before we draw anything.
It varies depending on the size and complexity of the project, but most screened enclosures and smaller detached structures can be completed within several days to a couple of weeks. Permitting and inspection scheduling with the building department sit outside our control and can add to that. We will always provide a clear timeline before starting your project.
Yes. Rescreening is one of the most common calls we get, and it is far cheaper than replacing a frame that is still sound. We also handle structural repairs to existing enclosures: corroded fasteners, damaged uprights, failed anchors and storm damage. If the frame is genuinely past saving we will tell you that instead of rescreening something that will not hold it.
Because an enclosure is a structure, not an accessory. It is framed, anchored to a slab or a footing, and in most jurisdictions it is permitted and inspected like any other addition. Built by Advocate holds a Certified Building Contractor licence, CBC1270530, which is what allows us to build enclosures, detached garages, sheds and carports rather than only roofing.
