Custom Screened-In Porches — Enjoy the Outdoors Year-Round in Atlanta

Costs typically range from $20,000 to $80,000+ depending on size, ceiling style, flooring, and finishes. A basic 12x14 with a shed roof starts around $20,000-$35,000. Mid-range builds with vaulted ceilings, stone floors, and ceiling fans run $35,000-$55,000. Custom porches with outdoor kitchens or fireplaces can exceed $80,000. We provide free, itemized estimates.

Most screened porch projects take 2-4 weeks once construction starts. A standard-size porch with a basic roof typically takes about 2 weeks. Vaulted ceilings, stone flooring, and electrical work add time — plan for 3-4 weeks on premium builds. The design and permitting phase adds another 1-2 weeks upfront. We give you a clear timeline before any work begins.

Yes — this is one of our most requested projects. If your existing deck structure is in good condition, we can frame a roof over it, install aluminum-frame screen walls, and convert it into a fully enclosed screened porch. We inspect the deck framing, joists, and footings first to make sure everything can support the added roof load. If anything needs reinforcing or replacing, we handle that as part of the project.

Yes. In virtually all Atlanta-area counties — Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, and Forsyth — a screened porch requires a building permit because it involves a roof structure attached to the house. Some jurisdictions also require electrical permits if you're adding outlets, fans, or lighting. We handle all permit applications and schedule every inspection as part of our service. You don't need to visit the county office or deal with any paperwork.

We use aluminum-frame screen systems with heavy-duty fiberglass or polyester mesh. These hold up to Georgia's summer storms, UV exposure, and humidity far better than lightweight DIY screen kits. For high-traffic areas or homes with pets, we offer pet-resistant screen mesh that won't tear from claws or impact. We also install EZE-Breeze vinyl-glazed panels for homeowners who want the option to close up the porch during cold or rainy weather.

A screened porch has screen walls that let air flow through — it's open to the outdoors but keeps bugs and debris out. A sunroom is fully enclosed with glass windows, insulation, and often HVAC for climate control. Screened porches cost less and give you a true outdoor feel. Sunrooms cost more but can be used year-round, even in winter. We build both and can help you decide which option fits your home and budget during a free consultation.

The most popular options are stamped or stained concrete, natural stone tile, porcelain tile, and composite decking. Concrete is the most affordable. Stone and porcelain look great and clean easily. Composite gives a warm, wood-like feel without maintenance. We don't recommend hardwood — even with a roof, Georgia's humidity causes warping and cupping over time.

Absolutely. Most of our screened porch builds include at least one ceiling fan pre-wire, and our mid-range and premium builds include full electrical — ceiling fans, recessed lighting, switched outlets, and even built-in speaker wiring. If you're converting an existing porch or deck, we run new electrical from your main panel or a sub-panel. All electrical work is done by licensed electricians and passes county inspection.
