Screen Porches

You want to enjoy your backyard without the mosquitoes, gnats, and humidity driving you back inside after ten minutes. Your deck is great in theory, but half the year, it's unusable after 5pm.

A screen porch gives you the outdoors without the bugs. We build fully framed and screened porch structures with composite or wood flooring, ceiling fans, and lighting, attached to your home and integrated with your existing deck or built as a standalone addition. Every screen porch is built on proper footings with a roof structure tied into your home's framing, not a bolt-on kit.

Covered Porches & Patio Roofs

Rain cancels every outdoor plan. Sun makes your back door side of the house unbearable by noon. You need shade and shelter, but you don't want to lose the open-air feeling.

A covered porch extends your usable outdoor space through every season. We build attached roof structures: gable, shed, and hip styles, that tie into your home's existing roofline. Whether it's a covered back porch over your deck or a standalone patio roof, we handle the structural engineering, permitting, and construction so it looks like it was always part of the house.

Front Porches

Your front entry is flat and forgettable: a concrete slab, a couple of steps, and no reason to linger. It doesn't match the rest of the home and does nothing for curb appeal.

A well-built front porch adds character, usable space, and real value to your home. We build covered front porches with columns, railings, composite or wood flooring, and rooflines that match your home's existing architecture. Paired with new siding, a front porch transforms the entire face of your home.

Common Questions About porch construction in Helena, AL

Most screen porch and covered porch builds take 2–4 weeks depending on size, roofline complexity, and weather. We'll give you a clear porch construction timeline during your consultation.

A screen porch uses mesh screening to keep bugs out while allowing airflow — ideal for spring through fall. An enclosed porch uses windows (often three-season panels) that can open or close, giving you a more controlled indoor-outdoor space. We build both.

In most cases, yes. Porch construction that involves a new roof structure or foundation requires a building permit in Helena and Shelby County. We handle the entire porch permit process and schedule inspections.

Yes — this is one of our most common porch projects. If your deck is structurally sound, we can frame a screen porch directly on top of it. If the deck needs reinforcement, we'll address that as part of the porch build.

Absolutely. We tie porch roof structures into your home's existing roofline so the addition looks original — not tacked on. We match pitch, material, and trim.
