Screened Porch & Covered Patio Builder · North Atlanta

Screened porch builder in North Atlanta — built right, from the footings up.

HomeVantage builds custom screened porches, covered porches, and covered patios across Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Cumming, and North Atlanta. We're outdoor-living builders first — so we engineer the structure (footings, framing, and a roof tied properly to your home), then screen or enclose it. One team, one standard, from the ground up. Want year-round use? Ask about our all-season sunrooms.

What Makes a Porch Last

It's the structure you don't see.

01

A roof tied in right. A porch roof has to connect to your home's structure with proper flashing and load paths — so we tie it in correctly and it won't leak, sag, or pull away from the house.

02

Footings & framing sized right. A porch carries a roof — not just people. We size the footings, posts, and beams for that load so it won't rack, sag, or fail inspection.

03

Proper flashing & drainage at the house. Where the porch or covered patio meets your home, we detail the flashing and drainage for Georgia storms so water can't get behind it and rot the structure.

04

Built as a real porch, not an afterthought. A covered structure is engineered differently than an open deck — so we build it as one from the ground up, and it holds up season after season.

What We Build

Covered & screened porches in North Atlanta.

We build the whole structure, then screen or enclose it — designed for how you'll use the space, in Georgia weather.

Covered porches & patios

A roof tied to your home over engineered footings and framing — open-air shade and shelter.

Screened porches

A covered structure plus a tight, sag-free ScreenEze screen — bug-free spring through fall.

Screened patios

A roof over a patio, screened in — same idea, at grade. We build the slab as part of it.

Porch-over-deck & conversions

Add a roof to an existing deck, or convert an open porch — built to carry the new load.

All-season & sunrooms

Want year-round use? Eze-Breeze or glass turns it into a sunroom.

Outdoor living

Fireplaces, fans, lighting, and tongue-and-groove ceilings that make it a true outdoor room.

How We Do It

The structure first. Then the finish.

A porch that lasts is engineered from the footings up — a roof tied to the house, framed to carry the load — then screened and finished.

01

Design for the Space

Open, covered, or screened — sized and styled to match your home and how you'll use it.

02

Build the Structure Right

Code-compliant footings, posts, and beams; a roof flashed and tied properly to the house. The part that lasts.

03

Screen, Enclose & Finish

A tight ScreenEze screen, ceiling, and lighting — or Eze-Breeze panels for all-season use.

04

Walk & Stand Behind

A final walkthrough together — and we stand behind the work long after the last box is unpacked.

Common Questions

Screened porch & covered patio FAQ

How much does it cost to build a screened porch in North Atlanta?

A covered porch or patio typically runs $40k–$75k all-in. Screening it in — or building a full screened porch — adds to that depending on the openings, roof style, and finishes, so we quote each one individually. We'll walk your space and give you a clear, itemized proposal.

What's the difference between a porch and a covered patio?

A porch is a roofed structure attached to the house, usually with a finished floor and ceiling — it reads like a room of the home. A covered patio is a roof over a ground-level paved area. We build both, and screen either one.

Can you screen in a covered patio?

Yes — a covered patio screens in just like a porch (a "screened patio"). We build the slab and structure, then add a tight, sag-free ScreenEze screen.

Do you build the porch and screen it, or just one?

Both — one team, from the footings to the finished screen. If you only need an existing porch screened, that's our screen installation service.

Can I use my screened porch year-round?

Yes — add Eze-Breeze vinyl window panels or glass and it becomes an all-season sunroom. We build the porch so that upgrade is easy, now or later.

How long does it take to build a screened porch?

Most screened porches run about three to five weeks from demo to finish, depending on size, roof style, and foundation. You get a published schedule before we start.

Do you pull permits and build to code?

Always. A covered/screened porch is a structural project with real load and safety requirements, so we engineer to code, pull the permit through your local jurisdiction, and handle inspections.

How do I choose a screened porch builder in North Atlanta?

Pick a licensed, insured builder who engineers the structure — footings, framing, and a roof flashed and tied to the house — not just the screen. Ask how they detail the roof-to-house connection and drainage. That hidden structure is what decides whether a porch lasts.

Do you build porches near me?

We're a North Atlanta builder based in Alpharetta, serving Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Cumming, Johns Creek, Suwanee, and surrounding communities. See all service areas.

Do you warranty your porch work?

Yes — in two separate layers. Your workmanship (labor) is backed by a one-year HomeVantage warranty, and on top of that the materials and screen systems we install carry their own manufacturer warranties. We're a local Alpharetta builder who stands behind the work.
