Start enjoying the outdoors in the comfort of your home without being annoyed by those pesky bugs.  Screened-in porches can add beauty and value to your home if done correctly. Porches can be built on wooden flooring or hardscapes (cement, brick pavers, blue stone etc).

Extra amenities to consider for even more comfort include:

• Infrared heating elements for those chilly evenings
• Ceiling Fans
• Can lights
• Skylights
• Speakers
• Granite counters
