Screened Porch Construction That Gives You More Time Outside

Richmond VA | Glen Allen VA | Mechanicsville VA | Chester VA | Goochland VA

You may already have a backyard you enjoy. The problem is that heat, bugs, rain, and an uncovered outdoor space can limit how often you actually use it.


A screened porch creates a more comfortable place to sit, eat, entertain, or simply spend time outside while still feeling connected to your home.


Prince Renovations builds screened porches for homeowners who want to turn outdoor space into something they can use more often.


Whether you are starting with open yard space, an existing porch, or a deck that may be suitable for conversion, we can look at what is already there and what it will take to create the screened outdoor space you have in mind.

Tell us what you want to build or convert, where you’re located, your approximate budget, and when you’d like to get started.


Build a New Screened Porch or Turn Existing Outdoor Space Into One

Not every screened porch project starts the same way.


Some homeowners need a completely new structure added to the house.


Others already have a deck or porch and are wondering:


Can this be turned into a screened porch?

Most of our homeowners search for us heavily using phrases like screened porch contractors, screened in porch builders, build screened in porch, convert deck into screened porch, and add screened porch to existing deck. All with the same goal: creating a more usable outdoor living space.


An existing deck does not automatically mean it is ready to support a screened porch. The structure and conditions have to be evaluated before deciding whether it makes sense to build on what is there or approach the project another way.

What Affects the Cost to Build a Screened Porch?

There is not one useful price without first understanding the structure and scope.


Several things can affect the overall investment.

Starting From Scratch vs. Using an Existing Structure

Building a new screened porch is different from working with an existing deck, patio, or porch. If an existing structure is involved, its condition and suitability become part of the project.

Size of the Porch

More square footage means more framing, roofing, screening, flooring, and finishing work.

Roof Construction

The roof is a major part of a screened porch project. Its size, design, and how it connects to the existing house can significantly affect the scope.

Decking, Flooring, Railings, and Screens

Material choices and the level of finish all influence the project.

Electrical and Other Features

Lighting, fans, outlets, or other planned features can add to the overall scope.

Existing Home and Site Conditions


Access, elevation, structural conditions, and the way the new porch connects to the home can all affect what is required.


That is why the useful first question is not simply:


“How much does a screened porch cost?”


It is:



“What are we starting with, and what kind of screened porch are we trying to create?”

A Screened Porch Should Feel Like Part of the Home — Not an Afterthought

A screened porch may be outside, but it still has to connect to the home you already live in.



That is why the contractor matters.


Rather than simply telling you Prince Renovations is professional, we would rather show you what customers describe.

You Work With the Person Responsible

Nilson is involved in the estimating process and remains involved in the work.



You are not simply sold a project and then passed off after the first conversation.

A Crew That Respects Your Property

Customers repeatedly describe Prince crews as courteous, respectful, easy to work with, and attentive to the space around the project.



That matters when construction is happening directly against the home you are still living in.

Experience When Existing Conditions Matter

A screened porch project can involve more than screens.



The existing deck, structure, roof connection, framing, electrical needs, and other conditions can all affect the job.


Prince’s broader remodeling experience includes structural work and projects where the team has had to work through real conditions without losing sight of what the homeowner wanted the finished project to become.

This May Not Be the Last Project We Do Together

One of the strongest patterns in Prince Renovations’ customer feedback is repeat business.



Homeowners bring Prince back for another bathroom, kitchen, deck, porch, or another part of the home.


For many customers, one renovation becomes the beginning of the next one.
