Our recent work includes a screened porch under a gable roof with a stone knee wall, and a front porch closed in with black double screen doors.
What to decide before you screen in
- Existing porch or new room. Many projects screen in a porch that's already covered. Others need a new frame.
- Doors. A single door, double doors for moving furniture, or doors on more than one side.
- Knee wall or full screen. A low wall of stone, brick or siding protects the bottom of the screen from pets and yard work.
- Frame color. Dark frames tend to disappear into the view. Lighter frames match white trim.
Built for Southeast Georgia
Long, humid summers and afternoon storms are the reason screen rooms are so popular here. A good screen room keeps the breeze and the view and keeps out the insects.
Gutters over a screen room matter too. They keep roof water from pouring off the edge and splashing onto the screens and the floor.
How a screen room project works
- Call or request a quote. Send a photo of the porch if you can.
- Measure and plan. We measure the openings and talk through doors and frame color.
- Build. The frame goes in, then the screen and doors.
Common questions
Can you screen in my existing covered porch?
Usually, yes. A covered porch with a solid floor is the most common starting point for a screen room. We'll look at the posts, floor and roofline when we measure.
Do you add gutters to screen rooms?
We do both gutters and screen rooms, so we can plan them together. That keeps roof runoff off your screens.
Do you build pool enclosures too?
Yes. A pool enclosure is a larger screened structure over a pool and deck. See pool enclosures.
