A screened-in porch uses high-quality mesh to keep bugs out while allowing maximum airflow. A 3-season room typically adds integrated window systems (like vinyl or glass) that allow you to close the space off from rain, pollen, and wind, extending your usage into the cooler months.
In many cases, yes. However, because a porch roof adds significant weight, our team must first inspect your deck’s existing framing and footings. If the original structure wasn’t built to support a roof, we will provide a plan to reinforce or replace the foundation to meet North Carolina and South Carolina building codes.
Absolutely. We aim for a “seamless” look. Our construction teams match your new porch roof to your home’s existing shingle color and architectural style so that the addition looks like it was part of the original house design.
Adding a roof can reduce natural light in adjacent indoor rooms. To solve this, we offer custom options like skylights or vaulted ceilings with open gables to invite more sun into the space while still providing the shade and protection you desire.
Yes! We specialize in “Complete Outdoor Living.” We can design and build custom stone or brick fireplaces (gas or wood-burning) directly into your porch. This is one of our most popular upgrades for creating a cozy, year-round atmosphere.
We offer a variety of durable, beautiful surfaces. You can choose from low-maintenance composite decking (which prevents splinters and rot), traditional tongue-and-groove wood, or even specialty outdoor tile and pavers depending on the structural foundation.
Yes. Our porch packages typically include electrical routing for ceiling fans, recessed lighting, outdoor speakers, and outlets for mounting your big-screen TV. We ensure all electrical work is up to code and ready for outdoor use.
We know how tough pollen can be! For customers who want to keep their furniture clean, we recommend our EZE-Breeze or vinyl window systems. These allow you to keep the screens open most of the year but slide the clear panels shut during the heavy pollen weeks of spring.
Because porches involve roofing, electrical, and often tie-ins to your house’s structure, they take slightly longer than a standard deck. Most porch projects take between 3 to 5 weeks of active construction, depending on the complexity and weather.
Yes. Any structure with a roof requires a building permit. As a full-service contractor, Fun Outdoor Living handles the entire permitting process, ensuring your porch is engineered for local wind and snow load requirements and passes all municipal inspections.
