Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about screened porch installation in Wilmington, NC.
How much does a screened porch cost in Wilmington, NC?
Most screened porch projects in the Wilmington area range from $8,000 to $35,000 depending on size, materials, and scope. A basic screen enclosure for an existing slab runs $8,000 to $15,000, while a custom build with new roofing and composite framing is $20,000 to $35,000 or more. We provide free, no-pressure estimates.
How long does installation take?
A standard screened porch enclosure takes 3 to 7 days once materials arrive. Larger custom builds with roofing or concrete work can take 2 to 4 weeks. We give you a specific timeline at your estimate visit.
Do I need a permit for a screened porch in Wilmington?
Yes, a permit is typically required for new screened porch construction in Wilmington and New Hanover County. We handle the permit application as part of our process so you do not have to deal with the city directly.
What screening material do you recommend for the Carolina coast?
For coastal and near-coastal properties we recommend heavy-duty fiberglass or aluminum screen, both of which hold up well to salt air and humidity. We will walk you through all material options during your free estimate.
Can you enclose an existing porch or patio?
Yes, this is one of our most common jobs. If you have an existing slab or deck with an overhead roof, we can add screen framing and panels without a full rebuild, which keeps costs lower and the timeline shorter.
Do you build pool enclosures?
Yes. We install aluminum-framed pool screen enclosures across Wilmington and the Cape Fear region. Pool enclosures keep out insects and debris while protecting your pool area year-round. Call us for a free quote.
