Screen Porch Addition
Screen Porch Addition
While the existing deck was lovely for part of the year, this family really wanted a covered, screened porch to escape the Carolina sunshine and mosquitoes. By building on the existing footprint, we were able to give them a new outdoor living space without too much disturbance to the existing landscaping. The best option for blending the new roof in with the existing one was to build a large gable. By taking advantage of the vaulted ceiling and installing a ceiling fan, they have better air circulation in the warmer months. The high ceilings also create a feeling of spaciousness, accented by the traditional bead groove paneling.

Is a Screen Porch Right For You?
We’re lucky to live in a climate that affords relatively comfortable outdoor living most of the year. Whether you want to add a screen porch to escape the bugs, enclose an existing porch to create a sunroom (and add heated square footage), or a three-season room is more your style, there are various factors to consider when deciding what’s best for your family and your home value. We’ve got some considerations to help you make your decision. Check out our blog Screen Porch Vs. Three-or-Four Season Rooms: How to Choose.
