Genuine Screened Porch Builder in North Carolina
North Carolina summers offer long, warm evenings that beg to be spent outside. Mosquitoes and gnats usually have other plans. As a screened porch builder in North Carolina, Wize Home Services creates outdoor rooms where families can eat, relax, and gather comfortably. We build new screened porches, enclose existing decks, and convert open porches into protected spaces. Every project matches your home’s roofline, trim, and materials so the addition looks original.
Screen Room Installation on New Foundations
New screened rooms start with a solid base. Depending on the site, that may be a concrete slab, piers, or a raised deck frame. Our crew frames walls and a roof designed to shed rain and carry local snow loads. Then we install screens in panels or continuous systems that resist sagging. Flooring options include composite decking, treated wood, or sealed concrete. We can wire ceiling fans and lighting during construction.
Porch Enclosure for Existing Decks and Porches
Many homes already have a covered porch or deck that sits unused during bug season. Enclosing it with screens is a cost-effective upgrade. We inspect the existing structure first. Repair rotted posts, weak railings, or failing roofs before screening. Next, framing members create openings sized for screen panels and a screen door. Kick plates at the bottom protect screens from pets and furniture.
Choosing Screen Materials
A standard fiberglass screen offers good visibility and value. The pet-resistant screen resists claws and heavy use. No-see-um mesh blocks tiny biting insects common near lakes and wooded lots. The solar screen reduces glare and heat on west-facing porches. We discuss your yard, pets, and sun exposure to recommend the right mesh. Different walls can even use different screen types.

Roof Tie-Ins That Stay Dry
Connecting a new porch roof to the house is the most critical step. Poor tie-ins cause leaks into walls and ceilings. Our roofing team holds GAF Master Elite certification, so we flash every connection with care. Shingles or metal can match the main roof so the porch looks like it was always there. Gutters on the porch roof keep rain from splashing onto screens and floors. Downspouts then carry water away from the foundation.
Making the Space Useful Through More Seasons
Vinyl window systems can turn a screened porch into a three-season room later. Planning for that upgrade during framing saves money down the road. Outdoor rugs, fans, and heaters extend comfort further. Some homeowners add a nearby fireplace or grill area. Screened porches we have built across the region are collected on our Past Work page.
Screened Porch Costs and Budget Choices
Size, foundation type, and roof style drive most of the cost. Screening an existing covered porch costs far less than building a new roofed structure. Material choices also matter. Composite floors and aluminum screen frames cost more upfront but need less upkeep than painted wood. Extras such as ceiling fans, lighting, and outdoor heaters add comfort and cost. We itemize those, so you can phase upgrades over time if needed.

Why Choose Wize Home Services for Screened Porches
Roofing Expertise for Leak-Free Tie-Ins
Porch roofs must join the house without leaks, and that connection is where many screened porches fail. Our roofing background shows in the details: step flashing, proper underlayment, and shingles or metal that match the main roof.
Decks and Porches Built In-House
We also build decks, so new foundations and floors match the screen room perfectly. We plan footings, framing, and decking for the added roof load from the start, keeping the floor solid and the screen panels square for years.
Exterior Finishes That Blend In
Siding, trim, and paint colors match your home for a cohesive appearance. From the street, the porch reads as part of the original house rather than an add-on, and inside you get a finished room that feels built in.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need a permit for a screened porch?
Most new screened porches with roofs require building permits. Enclosing an existing covered porch may also need one. We handle permit applications as part of the project.
2. How long does it take to build a screened porch?
Smaller enclosures can take a week or two. New porches with foundations and roofs take longer. Weather and permit timelines also affect scheduling.
3. Can a screened porch be converted into a sunroom later?
Yes, if the framing and foundation are planned for it. Window inserts or full glass walls. Talk with us about plans during design.
4. Will a screened porch add value to my home?
Screened porches are popular with buyers in warm climates. They add usable living space for much of the year. Quality construction and matching design help maximize value.
