Reasons homeowners add a screen room
A screen room is one of the most-used additions we build. Here's what usually drives the decision.
- Mosquitoes and gnats that chase you inside
- A deck or patio that's too hot to use midday
- Wanting to be outdoors when it's raining
- Pollen and debris blowing onto the patio
- Nowhere shaded to relax or dine outside
- Wanting more living space without a full addition
- An existing porch you'd like to screen in
- Adding value and appeal to the backyard

Our screen room building process
Whether we're screening an existing porch or building from the ground up, here's how it goes.
Free design consultation
We visit, measure, and talk through how you want to use the space, then give you a written, itemized quote with no obligation.
Design and material selection
We finalize the size, roof style, screen type, and floor, and help you choose framing colors and any extras like fans or lighting.
Permits and planning
We pull the required permits and plan the build to meet local code and pass inspection.
Foundation and framing
We build a solid foundation and frame, tie the roof into your home correctly, and flash it to keep water out.
Screening and finishing
We install the screen system, doors, floor, and any electrical for fans and lights, all finished to match your home.
Inspection and walkthrough
We coordinate the final inspection, clean up completely, and walk the finished room with you before reviewing your warranty.
