Leland has grown faster than almost any other community in the Brunswick County area over the past decade, and with that growth comes a lot of new construction homes in subdivisions like Waterford, Lanvale Forest, and Brunswick Forest. Many of these homes sit on nice lots with covered patios or rear slabs that are perfect candidates for a screened porch. We work regularly in Leland and know the Brunswick County Building Inspections process well. If your neighborhood also has an HOA with an architectural review board, we can walk you through the submission paperwork before we ever break ground.
One thing Leland residents know well is no-see-um season. The tiny biting midges that come off the marshy areas near the Cape Fear River and surrounding wetlands can make an open patio nearly unusable from late spring through fall. A properly screened porch with 20x20 no-see-um mesh makes a real difference. We build with pressure-treated wood framing or aluminum, depending on your preference and budget, and we handle everything from footings through final inspection. Leland is just a short drive across the Cape Fear River bridges from our Wilmington base, so scheduling is easy and there is no travel surcharge.

Permits in Leland
Leland falls under Brunswick County jurisdiction for building permits, which is separate from New Hanover County where Wilmington sits. For most residential screened porch projects, you will need a Brunswick County building permit pulled through the Brunswick County Building Inspections office. If your property is inside the Town of Leland limits (which most subdivisions are), the town coordinates with the county on inspections. We handle the permit application as part of every job. If you are in a neighborhood with deed restrictions or an HOA, architectural review board approval typically must come before the permit is submitted, and we can help you put together drawings and a scope document for that review.
What to Expect
We start with a free on-site estimate, usually scheduled within a few days of your call. We measure the space, talk through framing options and screen choices, and give you a written quote before we leave. Once you decide to move forward, we handle the permit, order materials, and get on the schedule. Most standard Leland screened porch projects run three to five days of on-site work once permits are approved. Brunswick County inspection turnaround has been reasonable in our experience. We keep you updated throughout and do a final walkthrough before collecting final payment.
