Climate & Your Style
Every porch is custom. We walk you through all options during your free on-site estimate — no pressure, no upsell.
No-See-Um Screen
20×20 fine mesh — blocks gnats and biting midges near ponds and woods. A must in Gray Court and rural Laurens County.
Pet-Resistant Screen
7× stronger than standard fiberglass. Stands up to dogs, cats, and daily wear without sagging or tearing.
Pressure-Treated Wood
Southern Yellow Pine framing rated for ground contact. Resists rot, termites, and Upstate SC humidity.
Structural Aluminum
Powder-coated and maintenance-free. Never rots, warps, or needs painting. Lifetime structural integrity.
EZ Breeze Windows
Vinyl-glazed panels convert your screened porch to 3-season or 4-season use. Open and close in seconds.
Roof Styles
Gable, shed, hip, or cathedral — engineered to tie into your home's existing roofline and pass inspection.
Fans, Lights & TV
Ceiling fan rough-in, recessed lighting, and TV blocking framed in during build for a clean professional finish.

Verified Reviews from Your Neighbors
Real homeowners in Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Gray Court, and Laurens, SC.
"Had a concrete slab that sat empty for three years. They turned it into the most beautiful screened porch — we use it every single evening now. Couldn't be happier with the results."
"Just moved into Farm at Wells Creek and they were the first contractor I called. Matched the porch to our roofline perfectly. Three neighbors have already asked for their number."
"Old screen porch was a mess — torn screens, rotten posts, leaky roof. Gave us an honest repair-vs-replace assessment, fixed everything in two days. On time, on budget."
"Hired them to enclose our Laurens back patio. They pulled the permit, showed up when they said they would, kept the yard clean, and finished ahead of schedule. Best contractor experience."
"We're near a pond and couldn't use the backyard in summer. The no-see-um screen they recommended was a game changer. The porch is now our favorite room in the house."
"Called three companies. Two never called back. These guys came out the same week, sent the estimate next morning, and started two weeks later. The porch looks incredible and was priced fairly."
