Screened In Porches
There’s nothing like a North Carolina evening on the porch — until the mosquitoes arrive. Or the pollen. Or the 90% humidity.
A screened-in porch lets you enjoy the breeze and connection to nature without dealing with the less pleasant parts of the outdoors. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, hosting friends, or winding down with a book, a screened in porch gives you a comfortable, shaded space that blurs the line between indoor and out.
It provides a tangible lifestyle upgrade that also adds valuable square footage to your home.
Major Benefits of a Screened-In Porch:
Protection from pests: No more swatting at mosquitoes and avoiding evenings outside
Shelter from sun and rain: Enjoy the porch even when the weather doesn’t cooperate
Increased home value: Screened-in porches are highly desirable in real estate listings. In the best cases, homeowners can benefit from an 86% return on investment from this type of porch remodel.
Flexible use: Perfect for dining, relaxing, entertaining, or creating a semi-outdoor play space for kids
We build screened-in porches as a natural extension of your home for that perfect blend of outside and isolation. In fact, we recently finished a project like this to create more space for a growing family. They loved the idea of a back porch, but were concerned with potential for bee stings or for their young child to fall off the porch. By adding handrails to stairways and a screened-in design, we alleviated both those concerns. They were ecstatic to have a safe, bug-free space.
Porch Materials That Define Comfort
Here’s what we help homeowners plan out:
Roof style: Shed, gable, or flat — it should complement your home’s architecture
Flooring: Pressure-treated wood, composite decking, or even tile for durability and style
Ceiling options: Exposed beams, tongue-and-groove wood, or beadboard add warmth and character
Screen systems: We offer durable, low-maintenance options that resist tearing and expanding over time
Optional upgrades: Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and outlets for year-round comfort and function
We can also design your porch to maximize shade and airflow, especially for our hot Carolina summers.
A Screened In Porch Can Also Be The Start Of A Larger Upgrade
Some homeowners use a screened-in porch as the first phase of a larger outdoor living upgrade. It pairs beautifully with:
Deck or patio expansions
Outdoor kitchens or grill stations
Storage or utility rooms
Future sunroom conversions
Starting with a screened-in porch gives you options — and adds immediate value.
