Two ways to get a screened porch
Screen in what you have
A covered deck or porch gets screen walls, a screen door and a kick plate. We check that the deck frame can carry the walls.
Build a new porch
New footings, frame, floor and a roof tied into the house, with shingles to match. Electrical for fans and lights is permitted separately.
Permits for porches
A roof turns a deck into a porch, and that needs a permit. In Raleigh, a screened porch needs a building permit with elevations that show the wall heights and grade, and no porch may sit over a septic system or its repair area. Fans, lights and outlets need an electrical permit too. We prepare the drawings and pull the permits.
