I would like to have my back patio area screened in.

It's roughly 21 ft. wide x 9 ft. depth (although the back of the house will act as one enclosure) and 11 ft. height. I would like to have a screened door that allows me to exit the screened-in patio to my backyard.

What options should I consider? Anything to be aware of?

For a project of this size, what is a reasonable price I should expect to pay?

Lastly, any recommendations for this type of work in the greater Baton Rouge area?

I had a water spigot inside the area that was screened in so i got the guy to make a little tiny door to run my hose through to my backyard so i didn't have to run it all the way around it.

If you don't already have fans out there, consider adding them now. For some reasons the screen can make it trap hot humid air. You'd think it wouldn't since they are porous, but unless there is a breeze blowing, mine is unbearable this time of year without some air movement.

Most of the screens now are fiberglass rather than the old metal style. They are more flexible, but need to be stretched into place when installing, or you get sort of a flappy loose look. One little section of ours has a sagging look to it, but it doesn't affect how they function, just looks a little off.
