The Patio You Have, Made Better
If you've got a patio or a screened porch behind your house, there's a good chance it only gets used a few months a year. North Carolina summers can be brutal, winter mornings bite, and rain has a way of showing up right when you'd planned to sit outside. The structure is there, the potential is there, but the weather keeps deciding when you get to use it.
That's where we come in. At Clemmons Windows & Doors, we help homeowners across Winston-Salem and the Piedmont Triad get more out of their outdoor structures. We’ll take the patio, sunroom, or screened porch you already have and give it the glass and weatherproofing it needs to earn its keep every month of the year, not just the mild ones.
Understanding Your Structure and Vision
No two patios are built the same way, so we’ll start by getting a look at what you're working with. Some porches have all the framing they need and are just waiting on windows, while others have a roofline sturdy enough to carry a full sunroom. The starting point changes everything about the plan, so we don't skip this step. Openings, layout, and structural condition all factor into our recommendations.
From there, we'll take a walk around your property together, looking closely at your openings and the condition of the framing. We'll ask what you picture doing in the finished enclosure, whether that's slow mornings with coffee, hosting friends, or carving out a spot to work from home. Budget comes into the conversation early, too, so we can steer you toward products that make sense rather than ones you'd never actually need.
Custom Solutions for Existing Spaces
No single option works for every home. What you choose depends on your framing, how you plan to use the enclosure, and how much protection you want once the colder months roll in. Here's a look at each option so you can see which one aligns with what you have in mind:
Sliding Glass Patio Door Systems
Sliding doors are popular for a reason. They open things up, let in plenty of natural light, and blur the line between your patio and living room instead of keeping them as two separate areas.
Function matters here as much as looks. A wide sliding opening allows furniture, grills, and guests to move through without getting stuck in a cramped doorway.
Fixed Glass Panel Enclosures
If you'd rather skip windows that open and close altogether, fixed glass panels might be the better call. They're designed for one purpose: letting light pour into your sunroom.
Homeowners who want their enclosure to feel like a greenhouse tend to gravitate toward this option, especially since it doesn't require any latching, cranking, or maintenance.
Screened Porch Window Systems
Plenty of homeowners start with a screened porch and eventually want something with more backbone. A screen keeps bugs out, but it doesn't do much against wind, rain, or a cold snap.
Adding window systems to an existing screened porch reduces all three and extends the number of months you can sit out there from a handful to nearly the entire year.
Three-Season and Four-Season Enclosures
Three-season and four-season aren't just marketing terms. They describe two genuinely different builds, down to the glass and the frame.
Three-season products are made for the easier stretch of the year. Four-season products handle the hard months too, using upgraded glass and seals to keep the enclosure comfortable.
Comfort Today, Confidence for Years to Come
There's a reason we chose ProVia as our partner instead of a dozen other manufacturers. ProVia's glass technology, frame materials, and weatherstripping are all designed with long-term performance in mind, not just how the product looks on installation day. That's a bigger deal for an enclosure than it is elsewhere on your home, since it takes on more direct sun exposure and temperature swings than a standard window or door.
Every product we install also comes with a lifetime transferable warranty and accidental glass breakage coverage, and coverage transfers with it if you ever decide to sell your home. On top of that, our installations carry a 100-year labor warranty, so you're protected well past the day we pack up our tools and leave.
What Sets Our Process Apart
Every enclosure starts the same way: with a conversation. We've found that homeowners get the best results when we understand their frustrations before we start talking about products, so here's what that looks like from the first call all the way through to the final walkthrough:
Consultation
We'll start by asking questions. How do you use your patio right now? What's it missing? A virtual call often works for this first conversation, though some homes require an on-site inspection of the framing.
Recommendation
Once we understand your structure and your goals, we'll lay out a plan that stays within your budget and skips anything you don't need. You'll never end up with a larger project than what you asked for.
Installation
Once installation begins, we treat your property as if it were our own. Materials get staged carefully, floors and furniture stay protected, and we’ll check in regularly so you always know where things stand.
Support
Many companies treat the last day of installation as the end of the relationship, but that's not how we operate. If you notice something off, or just want guidance on upkeep as the seasons change, you can count on us.
None of these steps happen in isolation. Each one sets up the next, so the whole process feels connected instead of like four separate transactions.
Why Choose Clemmons Windows & Doors?
Fitting windows and doors into an existing structure takes more than sliding glass into an opening and calling it done. It takes knowing how homes are put together, how older framing settles over time, and how products perform once they become a permanent part of a structure that's already been standing for years.
Clemmons Windows & Doors was founded by a builder with more than 30 years of experience, including time with Pella at the corporate level. We're locally operated with our own in-house installation crew, and every employee has been trained on our standards. Homeowners come back to us for the care we put into every job, and financing is available if you'd prefer to spread the cost of your project over time rather than pay for it all at once.
Local Experience With Piedmont Triad Homes
We install patio enclosure systems throughout Winston-Salem and the surrounding Piedmont Triad, including Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Clemmons, Kernersville, Archdale, Oak Ridge, and nearby communities. Our team has worked on homes across a wide range of neighborhoods and architectural styles in this region, so we've likely seen a structure similar to yours before.
Not sure if your home falls within that footprint? Reach out, and we'll confirm availability before you commit to anything. You’re also welcome to visit our service area page for the complete list of communities we serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We install window and door systems in current patios, sunrooms, and screened porches. We don't pour foundations or frame new additions, so if your project starts with construction from the ground up, we’d be happy to refer you to one of our local partners.
It depends on your structure and how you want to use it once it's finished. Sliding glass doors, fixed glass panels, and three-season or four-season window systems are all on the table, and we'll help you weigh the trade-offs of each.
It depends on how it's built. With the right glass, frames, and insulation, a four-season configuration can keep the space usable even when temperatures drop into the coldest part of a Piedmont Triad winter.
Timelines vary depending on the size of the structure and the products involved, but most projects move efficiently once materials arrive. We'll give you a specific timeframe once we've assessed your patio and finalized your product selections.
