Whether you’re in Pensacola, Florida or anywhere else along the Panhandle, you’re luckier than many people across the United States.
Why? Because you can enjoy sunny skies and warm weather nearly year-round! And if a “boring” backyard is the only thing holding you back from spending more time outside, Majors Home Improvement is ready to help. We’re an outdoor living company installing shade structures, enclosures, and even sunrooms to help local homeowners get the most out of their backyard living experience since 1997.
Patio covers give you the freedom to move about your backyard knowing that you can always retreat underneath the roof for protection from the sun or a rain shower. Ours are custom-designed to perfectly mesh with the architecture of your home and withstand even hurricane-force winds.

Patio covers are great, but they don’t keep out pests, leaves, and flying insects. If these are the only things preventing you from having a patio cover installed, we suggest building a screen room instead. Let Majors fully enclose your patio with durable, breathable screens that keep those unwanted guests—as well as UV rays—from crashing your backyard party.

Having a custom sunroom built by Majors means bringing the best of both worlds to your backyard living experience. This outdoor living upgrade is flooded with natural lighting thanks to wall-to-wall window panels, which also provide a great view of your yard, and it features all the comforts of indoor living that you’re used to—such as lighting, fans, and electricity.

If a patio cover is almost exactly what you want, but you don’t mind letting a little more sun shine through the roof, a pergola is just what you need. Pergolas’ latticed roofs make a stunning visual statement in any backyard, and pergolas from Majors have been proven to withstand Mother Nature’s worst days in the Panhandle.

If there’s one thing Majors is known for, it’s exceeding our customers’ expectations.

A. Outdoor living generally requires two basic components: shade from the sun and shelter from the rain. All of the home improvements listed above provide some degree of those two components. However, it’s not surprising that you may be confused by the terminology, as even people in the industry often use some of these outdoor living terms interchangeably.
Following is a short primer on the generally accepted definitions of these outdoor structures:
Patio cover – A solid roof designed to provide shade and shelter for a porch or patio, often by extending from a home’s exterior wall
Pergola – A slatted patio cover designed primarily to block the sun and often featuring the ability to adjust the louvers for shade control throughout the day
Screen room – A covered outdoor living space, also known as a screen enclosure, that adds mesh walls for bug and sun protection
Sunroom – A full-on home addition with walls and windows that’s designed to be bright and airy while also protecting its occupants from the elements
The Majors Home Improvement team installs all of the above outdoor living spaces: patio covers, screen enclosures, pergolas, and sunrooms. We specialize in offering customized projects that are built to complement existing homes and withstand the hurricane-force winds that often threaten homes in our service area.
A. Hands down, sunrooms offer the most versatility when it comes to usable living space because they can be outfitted with indoor climate control. This means they can function as a home office, gym, or playroom, or even just a relaxing, comfortable retreat that allows you to reconnect with Mother Nature as you sip your morning coffee. The potential uses are limited only by your imagination, especially when you partner with Majors Home Improvement for a custom sunroom that’s designed with your outdoor living goals in mind.
A. The primary difference between these types of shutters is whether they’re intended to serve as a decorative element year-round or simply remain inconspicuous when storm protection isn’t needed. Bahama and colonial shutters, for example, are two popular hurricane shutter styles that are intended to add curb appeal year-round while providing valuable storm protection during bad weather. Accordion and rolling shutters are designed to remain discreetly in a box most of the time, deployed only when needed to defend your home against a hurricane or tropical storm.
A. Yes, even a simple patio cover can help protect your indoor furnishings from damage by UV rays and potentially lower your indoor cooling costs by blocking the detrimental effects of the sun streaming through your windows and glass doors.
A. Selecting the ideal outdoor living addition requires a thoughtful approach that encompasses your goals, style preferences, and — if you’re like most homeowners — your budget. While your ideas and specific needs are your own, partnering with Majors Home Improvements will allow you to learn about your options quickly and get valuable guidance from outdoor remodeling pros whose expertise has been honed by many years of experience serving homeowners throughout the Panhandle area.
