Screened Decks and Porch Builder Serving Woodstock, Canton & Nearby North Atlanta Area

We build screened decks and screened porches for communities north of Atlanta, Georgia including Woodstock, Canton/Holly Springs, Acworth, Kennesaw, Marietta, Roswell, Dallas, and Waleska. Screened in decks and porches give you the feeling of being outside but with added protection from the elements and offer these advantages:

  • Extends the living space of your home.
  • Provides the feeling of being outdoors without being exposed to the elements.
  • Screens keeps out nasty mosquitoes and other pesky insects that detract from being outdoors.
  • Can increase the value of your home.
  • Extends the use of your deck and porch almost throughout the year.
  • Provides some protection from the sun.

Convert a Deck to a Screened Porch

Did you know an existing deck can be converted to a screened in porch?  We can help you reimagine your existing deck to create a space that provides more use throughout the year. All or part of your deck can be converted to a screened in porch depending on how much of the area you want to enclose.

Before the conversion, we’ll need to examine your deck to determine the following:

  • Is your existing deck built to code? We will not convert a deck to a screened porch if the existing deck is not built to code according to the Georgia deck building code requirements.  We require this since we assume liability for a screened porch, and a non code-compliant deck can be a safety hazard. If the structure isn’t built to code, we’ll do the necessary repairs to bring it up to code before the conversion.
  • Can your existing deck handle the weight of a roof? When you convert a deck to a screened porch, we add a roof.  This is a lot of additional weight, so we must determine if your deck can handle the load of the roof before we begin. If not, we’ll need to rebuild it to ensure it can handle the additional weight.

Convert a Porch to a Screened In Porch

Converting a porch to a screened in porch gives the feeling of being outdoors, but with added protection from the elements. They can be detached from a home or attached, and we design and build both types of structures.

A porch by definition has a roof above it, so the structure is likely already built to code according to the Georgia deck building requirements.  This makes the conversion process simpler and faster. However, if the structure isn’t built to code, we’ll make the necessary repairs before the conversion.

Customizing Your Enclosed Space

If you’re looking for additional ways to create a more custom look for your enclosed deck or porch, you can consider the following customizations:

  • Install a Tongue & Groove or traditional beardboard ceiling
  • Install a ScreenEze System with larger screens and less obstruction
  • Ceiling fan
  • Electrical work for a television
  • Privacy wall for added privacy
  • Gable, shed, shingled, or tin roof

  • CHL understood our vision and executed it beautifully. They built a large screen porch with a gabled roof. They also recommended and worked seamlessly with another contractor to build a stone patio outside the screen porch. They handled everything including replacing an existing deck, building a new deck and roof structure, installing electrical, cladding all exposed structural wood and painting. Chris was easy to work with through the entire process. It looks amazing.

  • We love our new screened in porch! Chris provided a fair, detailed quote and made the whole process very easy. Chris communicated frequently, was professional throughout the process, and his team built us exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend CHL services.

  • We hired Chris and his team to rebuild our deck and turn it into a screened porch. Every step of the process exceeded our expectations. CHL Services is responsive, affordable, and they show up when they say they will. We’ve had bad experiences with contractors in the past, but I can say with full confidence that I would recommend CHL Services to anyone I know and that we will absolutely use this company in the future for additional remodeling projects. Thank you for your professionalism and exceptional quality of work. We could not be happier!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Covered and screened porch projects through CHL Services typically range from $25,000 to $50,000 or more. Pricing depends on the size, roof design, decking, screening system, electrical work, stairs, finishes, and whether an existing structure can safely remain.

CHL Services provides preliminary ballpark pricing for projects in Acworth, Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton, Dallas, and surrounding areas before scheduling an onsite estimate.

Yes, an existing deck can sometimes be converted into a screened porch. The deck must be structurally sound, properly attached to the home, up to code, and capable of supporting the additional roof and enclosure loads.

CHL Services evaluates the deck, framing, posts, beams, footings, and home connection before determining whether the existing structure can remain. If it does not meet the requirements enforced by the applicable city or county, reinforcement or replacement may be necessary.

It may. A roof and screened enclosure add weight and change how loads are transferred through the deck, posts, beams, and footings.

CHL Services evaluates existing decks in Acworth, Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton, and Dallas before recommending reinforcement, partial replacement, or complete replacement. We will not build a screened porch on an unsafe or noncompliant structure.

Most screened porch projects require approved drawings, building permits, and inspections. Depending on the location and scope, zoning, setback, site-plan, electrical, or mechanical approvals may also be required.

CHL Services coordinates the required drawings, permitting, and inspections with the applicable city or county. If the property has an HOA, the homeowner typically submits the HOA application using the project documents provided by CHL Services.

A professionally built screened porch can improve a home’s appeal and create a comfortable outdoor living space protected from insects, rain, and direct sunlight.

For homes throughout Acworth, Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton, and Dallas, the value added will depend on the porch’s design, size, materials, craftsmanship, and how well it complements the home.

A screened porch is an open-air space enclosed with screening to provide airflow and protection from insects. A sunroom is enclosed with windows and may include insulation, finished walls, flooring, electrical work, and heating and cooling.

CHL Services builds both screened porches and sunrooms throughout Northwest Metro Atlanta. Because a sunroom is more fully enclosed and may be conditioned, it generally requires more extensive construction and costs more.

Construction time depends on the porch size, roof design, electrical work, finishes, and whether the existing deck can be used. Physical construction may take several weeks.

For projects in Acworth, Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton, and Dallas, the overall timeline may also include drawings, HOA approval, permitting, material orders, inspections, and weather delays.

A screened porch can be enjoyed during much of the year in Northwest Metro Atlanta, especially when it includes ceiling fans, lighting, shade, and protection from rain.

Approved outdoor heaters may make the space more comfortable during cooler weather, but a screened porch is not insulated or climate-controlled like a conditioned sunroom. CHL Services can help determine which type of space best fits the homeowner’s intended use.
