Screened Porches in Raleigh & Wake County
The Carolina evening, perfected.
A screened porch is the Carolina evening, perfected — the breeze without the bugs, the outdoors without the sunburn. It is the room your family will migrate to from spring through fall and wonder how you ever lived without.
Our approach
What’s included, and how we build it
What a 1OAK screened porch includes
A screened porch is a roofed, framed structure, so we build it as one: proper footings and framing, a roof designed to tie cleanly into your home's existing roofline, a finished ceiling, screening systems built to last, and the flooring and railings to match. We can carry lighting, fans, and even a fireplace or outdoor kitchen into the design so the porch is a true living room, not just an enclosed slab.
How we approach the build and the roofline
The hardest part of a screened porch is where it meets the house — the roof connection and flashing have to be right to protect your home, and the new roofline has to look like it was always there. That is a design and structural problem we solve up front, and we build to the North Carolina residential code with the permits a roofed, attached structure requires. We orient the porch for breeze and shade and detail the screening for both durability and a clean, unobstructed view.
Common questions
Screened Porches, answered
- How much does a screened porch cost in Raleigh?
- A screened porch is a roofed, framed addition, so cost depends on its size, the roof and foundation work, finishes, and any features like a fireplace or outdoor kitchen. We price materials at our supplier cost with no markup and show the full estimate, so you see exactly what the structure costs.
- Can you convert my existing deck or patio into a screened porch?
- Often, yes — but only if the existing structure can carry a roof and enclosure. We evaluate the current footings and framing and tell you honestly whether we can build on them or whether the substructure needs to be upgraded first.
- How does the porch roof tie into my house?
- That connection is the make-or-break detail. We design the new roofline to integrate with your existing roof and flash the connection correctly to protect the home from water — done right, it looks original and keeps the house dry for the long term.
- Do I need a permit for a screened porch?
- Yes. A roofed, attached structure requires a building permit and inspections under the state residential code, and many neighborhoods also require HOA approval. We manage the permitting and build to code from the start.
