Featured Screen Room Project

This custom screen room project built in Potomac, Maryland features IPE brazilian hardwood decking, black wrought iron handrails, a dark bronze standing seam room, cedar tongue and groove ceiling, and oversized ivory columns.  Gables on two sides of the hip roof allow for additional light to enter the living space.  A sun deck is built to the side to be used for grilling and outdoor entertaining.



One of the biggest complaints people have about trying to enjoy the outdoors while sitting on their deck? Bugs. Stink bugs, flies, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets, mosquitoes – these stinging and flying insects native to Maryland force you to arm yourself with bug spray, flyswatters, and citronella candles when you’re outside. What if you didn’t need all those supplies? What if you could enjoy the fresh air without having to worry about what’s buzzing around your head?

A screen enclosure in Potomac is the answer. If you’re irritated by outside pests, you probably don’t use your deck as often as you’d like. Making the decision to add screens and roofing to your deck expands your living space tremendously and increases your range of outdoor activities. Work, read, or play with your kids without worrying about bug bites. Plan a cookout with family and friends and actually eat outside without having to swat away bothersome bugs. Socialize during the day or night shielded from pests. Not to mention, with lighting and ceiling fans in your screen porch you can be even more comfortable outdoors than you ever thought possible.

To ensure that your screen porch will truly be a bug-free zone, we install screens below your existing decking – there won’t be any errant pests buzzing up through the boards – as well as in the roof soffits and all open bays. The Andersen 3000 series storm doors we install will also keep the bugs away. Adding livable square footage to your home is one of the best investments you can make, and in this area where the climate is temperate throughout the fall, you can comfortably use your screened-in deck for at least nine months of the year.
