Take Back Your Outdoor Space from Bugs and Pollen

Anyone who's lived through a Catawba County spring knows the pollen struggle. That yellow-green dusting covers every outdoor surface from March through May, turning your deck furniture into something you'd need to pressure wash before sitting down. And just when pollen season ends, mosquito season begins — making evenings outside miserable without constant bug spray.

Screen rooms solve both problems at once. A properly built screened porch gives you a pest-free, pollen-reduced outdoor room that you can actually use from early spring through late fall. You get the breeze and the view without the bugs landing in your drink or the pollen coating your table.

But not all screen rooms are created equal. We've seen DIY screen enclosures and handyman-built porches that sag, leak at the roofline, and have screens that bow out or tear in the first strong wind. Our screen rooms use aluminum or vinyl screen framing systems with proper tensioning, structural roof connections, and kick plates at the base to prevent damage. They're built to last, not just to look good on day one.

We also build screen rooms that convert for three-season use with removable glass or vinyl inserts, giving you even more months of comfortable use without a full HVAC-equipped sunroom.

How It Works

Our Process

1

Site Assessment & Design

We evaluate your existing structure (deck, patio, or porch) and discuss your priorities — bug protection, shade, airflow, and how you plan to use the space. We'll recommend screen types, door configurations, and roofing options that match your home.

2

Plans & Permitting

We prepare construction drawings showing the structural framing, screen panel layout, door placement, and roof integration. All permits are pulled and inspections are scheduled by our team, so you don't have to navigate the building department.

3

Framing & Screening

Our crew builds the structural frame, installs the roof system, and fits each screen panel with precision. We use fiberglass or aluminum mesh depending on your preference, with spline-locked panels that stay tight and resist sagging.

Final Details & Walkthrough

We install screen doors, trim, ceiling finishes, and any electrical components like fan pre-wires or lighting. After the final inspection passes, we walk through the completed room with you and cover care tips for your screen system.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard fiberglass screen blocks a significant amount of pollen while still allowing airflow. For homeowners with severe allergies, we can install finer mesh options like pollen-grade screen that filters out smaller particles. While no screen blocks 100% of pollen, most of our clients report a dramatic reduction in pollen accumulation inside their screen rooms compared to open decks.
Yes, this is one of our most popular projects. If your existing deck or porch has a roof, we can add screen panels and a door system to enclose it. If there's no roof, we build the cover first and then screen the space. We evaluate your existing structure to make sure it can support the additional framing.
A screen room uses mesh panels that allow full airflow — it's essentially an outdoor room without bugs. A sunroom uses glass or solid panels and can be heated and cooled like an interior room. Screen rooms cost significantly less and maintain that open-air feel. We build both, and we can help you decide which makes sense for your lifestyle and budget.
The structural components — framing, roof, and posts — will last as long as any part of your home with normal maintenance. Screen mesh itself typically lasts 10 to 15 years before showing wear, and individual panels can be replaced without rebuilding the entire room. We use high-quality screen materials and secure fastening systems to maximize the lifespan.
Yes, we build screen rooms on elevated decks regularly. The structural requirements are more involved since the framing and roof loads need to be carried down through the deck structure to the footings, but this is well within our capabilities. We'll evaluate your deck's framing and recommend any reinforcements needed.
Screen rooms consistently rank as one of the highest-ROI outdoor improvements. In the Catawba County market, a well-built screen room typically recoups 70–80% of its cost at resale while significantly increasing your home's appeal to buyers who want usable outdoor space without the hassle of bugs and debris.

What Our Clients Say

Screen Rooms Reviews

We called three contractors about screening in our porch. Jeff was the only one who actually came out, measured everything, and gave us a written proposal with real numbers instead of a vague range. The screen room turned out exactly how we wanted it. No more mosquitoes, no more pollen on the furniture — just a great outdoor space we use every day.
