Can I add windows to a screened porch later?

Yes. Sunspace window enclosures can be swapped in for the screen panels, converting the porch to a three-season room without rebuilding the structure.

Screened Porch Construction

Screened porch design in Anne Arundel County, MD, is framed differently than an open covered porch; the openings have to accept screen panels, and the header height has to work with the screen door swing.

Openings Framed For Screen Panels: Bay openings sized and squared so the panels drop in cleanly, no filler pieces.
Header Height For Screen Doors: Door openings framed at the right height and width for a full door swing.
Screen-Ready Structure: Framing tight enough that panels stay taut and corners stay square through seasonal movement.

Screen System And Door Placement

How the screened porch installation in Anne Arundel County, MD, is framed determines how well the porch holds up over the seasons.

Heavy-Duty Screen Panels: Framed into the porch openings, sized to the bay.
Screen Door Placement: Doors positioned for traffic flow between the porch, the house, and the yard.
Removable or Fixed Panels: Selected during design based on how you plan to use the porch year-round.

Screened Porch FAQs

What kind of screen material do you use?

Heavy-duty screen panels framed into the porch openings, sized to each bay. Panels are selected during the design phase based on what you want out of the porch: visibility, pet resistance, or weather exposure.

Can I combine a screened porch with an open deck?

Yes, and it is one of the more common configurations we build. A screened porch off the kitchen with an adjoining open deck for grilling gets designed as one project in 3D.

How long does a screened porch take to build?

Two to three weeks on site once construction begins; the roofing, screen framing, and finish work add time over an open deck.

What is the price range for a screened porch?

Screened porches sit at the higher end of our project range, with porch-plus-deck combinations going higher. We do not take on porch projects under 200 sq. ft. You will get a specific number after the in-home consultation.
