Screen Enclosures in Fort Caroline and St. Johns Bluff

Fort Caroline and St. Johns Bluff are two of Jacksonville’s most historically significant and scenic eastern neighborhoods — communities situated near the site of Fort Caroline, one of the earliest European settlements in North America, with generous lot sizes, riverfront access to the St. Johns River, and a landscape defined by mature trees and natural beauty.

Kish Enclosures builds and repairs screen enclosures throughout Fort Caroline and St. Johns Bluff.

Fort Caroline and St. Johns Bluff’s older housing stock means many homeowners are dealing with enclosures built when the home was new — often 30 to 40 years ago. These neighborhoods are underserved by the large regional enclosure companies that focus on newer suburban markets.

We also serve homeowners throughout Duval County including Avondale and Riverside, San Marco and surrounding communities.
