Palencia is one of St. Johns County’s most prestigious communities — an award-winning master-planned golf and country club neighborhood of over 2,600 homes situated along the Intracoastal Waterway north of historic St. Augustine. With an Arthur Hills-designed championship golf course, resort-style amenities, top-rated St. Johns County schools, and a vibrant village center, Palencia attracts homeowners who want the full package of Florida luxury living.

Kish Enclosures builds custom screen enclosures and pool cages for Palencia homeowners throughout the community’s multiple neighborhoods — from golf course homes to preserve-view lots to Intracoastal-adjacent properties. We’re experienced with St. Johns County’s permitting process and Palencia’s HOA architectural review requirements, and we handle all documentation on your behalf.

Kish Enclosures builds and repairs every type of screen enclosure for Palencia homeowners. Whether you’re adding an enclosure for the first time, upgrading an existing structure, or replacing one that’s past its prime, we manage every aspect — design, permitting, construction, and final inspection.

Pool screen enclosures and pool cages — Custom pool cages engineered to Florida wind codes and designed to fit Palencia’s home styles. See our pool screen enclosures page.

Patio and porch screen enclosures — Transform your patio into a protected year-round outdoor living space. See our patio and porch screen enclosures page.

Screened lanais — One of the most popular upgrades in Northeast Florida. We screen in covered lanais quickly and often without a new structural permit. See our screened lanais page.

Tear-downs and rebuilds — When an existing enclosure is beyond repair, we demo and build new to current Florida building codes. See our tear-down and rebuild service page.

Rescreening and screen repair — If your frame is solid but the mesh is worn or torn, we rescreen panels or the entire enclosure using premium mesh — standard, no-see-um, pet-resistant, or privacy screen.

Motorized screens and louvered pergolas — Motorized retractable screens and LouveRoof louvered pergola systems for premium outdoor living and instant shade or weather control.

Paver installation — We install pavers alongside your enclosure so your entire outdoor space is transformed in one project. See completed work in our project gallery.

Quarterly screen enclosure gutter cleaning & inspection — Screen enclosures have structural gutters built into the frame that must be kept clear to prevent frame corrosion. We offer quarterly structural gutter cleaning and enclosure inspection for any enclosure in Palencia — any brand, any age.

Palencia’s diverse home styles — from classic Florida to Mediterranean to contemporary — mean enclosure designs need to adapt to each property’s specific character. We assess each home individually and design enclosures that complement the architecture rather than applying a standard template across the community.

We also serve homeowners in neighboring communities including Nocatee, St. Johns and throughout St. Johns County.

How much does a screen enclosure cost in Palencia?

Pricing varies by pool or patio size, roof style, screen type, and upgrades. Patio and lanai enclosures typically start in the mid-thousands; larger pool cages with custom framing run higher. Call (904) 805-4343 for a free on-site estimate — we’re typically on-site within a day or two and give you a real number with no pressure.

Do I need a permit for a screen enclosure in St. Johns County?

Yes — all screen enclosure structures in St. Johns County require a building permit and must meet Florida wind load engineering requirements. Kish Enclosures handles the full permitting process from application through final county inspection. You don’t contact the county, fill out forms, or navigate the process yourself.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take one to three days on-site once permits are approved. Permitting typically takes two to four weeks from submission. We walk you through the full timeline during your free estimate so there are no surprises.

Palencia has two separate HOAs — how do you handle the approval process for screen enclosures?

Palencia’s community is divided between the Marshall Creek CDD and the Sweetwater Creek CDD, each with its own management structure and homeowner association. Regardless of which section your home falls in, the process is the same from your perspective: we confirm your specific CDD at the time of estimate, prepare the appropriate submission documentation, and submit to the correct association on your behalf. We’re familiar with both Palencia HOAs and know what each requires for structural outdoor additions. You don’t need to navigate the HOA process yourself — we handle it entirely.
