Built for the Cape Fear Coast, Not Copied from Somewhere Else

Wilmington's sand gnats, salt air, and hurricane seasons put outdoor structures to the test in ways that inland contractors don't deal with. We've been building screened porches in New Hanover County and the surrounding area long enough to know what holds up and what doesn't.

Every build uses hurricane-rated connectors and anchoring designed to meet North Carolina's coastal wind load requirements. We use no-see-um mesh as our standard recommendation because standard screen doesn't stop sand gnats. Fasteners are stainless steel throughout -- salt air eats standard hardware in a few years.

We pull permits through New Hanover County and the individual municipalities we work in, including the City of Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Brunswick County for Leland-area jobs. One contractor, one permit process, no surprises.

What Sets Us Apart

No-See-Um Mesh Standard

We recommend 20x20 mesh on every Wilmington build. Sand gnats pass through standard screen easily -- we start with the right product.

Hurricane-Rated Construction

We use wind-rated connectors and anchoring that meets NC coastal building code -- inspected and signed off by the county.

Salt-Air Hardware

Stainless steel fasteners throughout. Coastal conditions corrode standard hardware within a few years -- we don't cut corners here.

Permit-Ready Process

We pull all permits through New Hanover County, the City of Wilmington, and local island municipalities. You don't deal with the permit office.

Free On-Site Estimates

We come out to measure and assess before quoting. No phone guesswork, no surprise change orders.

Island Property Experience

We regularly work on Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach properties with their specific HOA and municipality requirements.

Storm Repair Experience

We've repaired porch damage after major storms. We know what design and material decisions hold up in hurricane conditions.

Aluminum for Coastal Use

For pool enclosures and salt-adjacent structures, we specify aluminum framing that won't rot or corrode in coastal conditions.

Brunswick County Coverage

We work in Leland, Belville, and surrounding Brunswick County communities. No extra charge for the short drive over the bridge.

Honest Timelines

Permit review and inspection schedules in New Hanover County are what they are -- we give you a realistic timeline, not a sales pitch.

Serving Wilmington and the Cape Fear Coast

We cover New Hanover County, Brunswick County, and Pender County. Island and mainland projects welcome.

What Our Customers Say

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 43 verified reviews.

★★★★★
"We tried to use our back porch all spring and the sand gnats made it impossible. They put up no-see-um screen and it completely solved the problem. The work was clean, the price was fair, and they handled the New Hanover permit without us having to do anything."
Sarah H. -- Midtown Wilmington
★★★★★
"We're on Wrightsville Beach and had a porch that kept getting storm damage. They rebuilt it with hurricane straps and the right hardware for salt air. Two seasons later and everything looks perfect. Worth every dollar."
Tom and Lisa B. -- Wrightsville Beach
★★★★★
"We moved from Charlotte and didn't know about the no-see-um situation here. They explained everything clearly, showed us the mesh options, and built exactly what we needed. We use the porch every evening now. Great company."
James K. -- Leland

Common Questions

Most projects in Wilmington run between $9,000 and $32,000 depending on size, framing material, and screen type. Simple rescreens on an existing structure are on the lower end. Custom builds with new framing, insulated roofing, and no-see-um mesh cost more. We give free on-site estimates before you commit to anything.
Standard 18x14 fiberglass screen does not stop no-see-ums. You need 20x20 no-see-um mesh. It blocks sand gnats and also handles mosquito season more effectively. The trade-off is a slight reduction in airflow and visible light, but most Wilmington homeowners consider that a fair exchange for actually being able to use the porch.
Yes. New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington require building permits for new screened porches and most enclosures. We handle all permit applications, drawings, and inspections. Permit processing typically runs 1 to 3 weeks for standard residential porch work.
Wilmington falls under North Carolina's high-wind zone building requirements. We use hurricane-rated metal connectors, proper post anchoring to footings, and framing designed to meet local wind uplift requirements. These details are checked by county inspectors -- we don't skip them.
Yes. We work throughout New Hanover County, Brunswick County (Leland, Belville), and Pender County (Hampstead, Surf City, Holly Ridge). Island properties on Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach are no problem -- we know the local permit processes and HOA requirements for both.
With proper materials and construction, 20 to 30 years for the structure. Screen panels typically last 7 to 15 years depending on UV exposure and use. Salt air accelerates corrosion on inferior hardware -- that's why we use stainless steel fasteners on every job. Rescreening is affordable and extends the life of a well-built structure indefinitely.
