Elevated Screened Porch Built and Done in One Day

One day. That's all it took. When you send a full crew to a job - not one or two guys, but an actual team - things get done right and they get done fast. That's exactly what happened here.

This home had a solid elevated deck with a great view and good bones. What it needed was a screened porch that could actually be used - something to keep the bugs out without blocking the breeze or cutting off that open field view in the backyard. We built it out with a sturdy framed structure, a peaked roofline that ties directly into the house, and full-perimeter screening that lets the air flow freely.

The inside view is where it all comes together. Wide open fields, trees, sky - all of it still visible through the screens without a single bug ruining the experience. That's the whole point of a screened porch done right. You're not closing yourself off from the outdoors, you're just making it livable.

The exterior details matter too. The wood posts and framing are built to handle the elevation without any flex or wobble. The screen door has clean trim work and fits the overall look of the home. It doesn't feel like an add-on - it feels like it was always supposed to be there. That only happens when the crew building it actually cares about the finished product.

Screened porches are one of those upgrades that genuinely change how you use your home. Not just in spring, but year-round. If you've got a deck that's sitting mostly unused because of bugs, heat, or lack of privacy - a screened enclosure might be exactly what it needs.
