Porch & patio screening in North Atlanta — screen it in, and actually love it out there.
Cool evenings, no mosquitoes, and a view worth sitting and staring at — the porch finally becoming the best seat in the house. That's what we're after, and it starts with screening it in the right way.
All screens are not the same.
Most people assume a screen is a screen — someone staples up mesh and you're done. But the system behind it changes what you look at, how long it lasts, and whether the porch still looks good in five years. We install SCREENEZE®. Here's the difference, in plain terms.
Installer
A better view — far less in the way
Traditional screen has to be broken into narrow sections, with a post about every three feet to keep it from sagging. SCREENEZE holds one tight panel up to roughly 10 ft × 15 ft — so a wide porch wall becomes a single clean span instead of a row of frames you're always looking through.
SCREENEZE vs. traditional screen, side by side
| Feature | Traditional spline screen | SCREENEZE® (what we install) |
|---|---|---|
| Biggest single panel | About 40 sq ft — a support post roughly every 3 ft | Up to about 150 sq ft (~10 × 15 ft) in one clean span |
| How the screen is held | Rubber spline pressed into a groove | Aluminum base-and-cap channel — no spline |
| Over time | Spline dries out; screen sags and pulls loose | Self-tightening — stays flat and taut for years |
| Look | Visible frames and grid; can bow, crack, or yellow | Clean, built-in finish in four frame colors |
| Repairs | Re-spline or tear out a section | Re-screen a single panel on its own |
| Georgia heat & UV | Cheaper materials degrade faster | UV-stabilized vinyl over aluminum |
Built to look right — and stay that way
No sag. Ever.
It's held in an aluminum base-and-cap channel that self-tightens as it sets — so it stays flat and taut for the long haul, not bellied and loose a season or two in.
A high-end, built-in look
A clean, finished edge that looks like part of the house — not cheap frames that bow, crack, and break in our heat.
Your choice of screen
Pick for what matters to you — crystal-clear views, heavy-duty pet- and tear-resistant mesh, or a finer weave for the smallest bugs.
Made for a Georgia summer
UV-stabilized vinyl over a solid aluminum base with a baked-on finish — built to take the sun, pollen, and afternoon storms for years, not slowly come apart.
Built for a real household
A bump from the patio furniture, a dog that leans on everything, a wide-open Georgia thunderstorm — the screen holds tight in its track instead of bagging out, popping loose, or tearing at the staples the way cheap screen does. (It's screen, not a railing — but it shrugs off the everyday far better than the stapled stuff.)
Which screen fabric is right for you?
Every porch gets the same SCREENEZE frame — you choose the mesh inside it, from six recommended Phifer® fabrics. Here's how the options compare.
| Screen | Material | Best for | Standout strengths |
|---|---|---|---|
 UltraVue® 2 | Polyester | The clearest view | Best optical clarity and airflow |
 BetterVue® | Fiberglass | A clear view for less | Great airflow and insect control |
 Fiberglass | Fiberglass | Everyday value | Durable, dependable all-rounder |
 No-See-Um | Fiberglass | Tiny gnats & sand flies | Tightest weave; adds daytime privacy |
 TuffScreen® | Vinyl-coated polyester | Pets & high-traffic spots | Most tear- and pet-resistant; very durable |
Pick the frame finish that fits your home
SCREENEZE comes in four finishes — Bronze, White, Sand, and Clay — so you choose the one that works best with your trim. A lot of homeowners go bronze: a darker frame visually recedes, so the framing fades back and the view does the talking.

$$$$ Relative material price, low to high — every screen installs the same way and carries the same warranty.
This is a ballpark for a standard screen install. Site conditions can change the final price — existing screens, railings, trim, height off the ground, and more. We confirm everything at your free in-home visit.
Yes, it costs more. No, it's not a big deal.
A premium screen costs more than builder-grade — we won't pretend otherwise. But screening a porch isn't a kitchen remodel; in the grand scheme it's a modest project, and the upgrade is a small slice of the total. Once you've seen the good stuff, the cheap stuff is hard to unsee. And it's covered — a 10-year limited warranty on the SCREENEZE system, plus our own 1-year workmanship guarantee.
Porch not ready for screen? That's our specialty.
Some homeowners come to screen a porch and find the structure underneath isn't up to it — a deck that's sagging, a patio with nothing solid to attach to, or a porch never built for screen. That's exactly our wheelhouse. We're deck and outdoor-living builders first, so we can build or rebuild the structure right and screen it — one team, one standard, done once.

Common questions
What makes SCREENEZE better than regular screen?
Regular screen is held in with spline that dries out and lets the screen sag and pull loose. SCREENEZE holds the screen tight in a base-and-cap channel, so it stays flat and sag-free, looks clean and built-in, and holds up to our heat and humidity. The short version: it looks better, lasts longer, and you barely notice it's there.
How big can a single screen panel be?
Traditional screen systems generally top out around 40 square feet per opening — roughly a 3-foot width — before they need a post and start to sag. The SCREENEZE system we install holds a single, tight panel up to about 10 by 15 feet (around 150 square feet). In practice that means a wide porch wall can be one clean span instead of a row of framed sections, so you get a far more open, unobstructed view of the yard.
What if a screen gets torn or damaged later?
Easily fixed — and that's a real advantage of this system. Because the screen isn't glued in with spline or stapled to the frame, a single damaged panel can be re-screened on its own without disturbing the rest of the porch. A stray branch or a pet's claws is a quick repair, not a tear-out.
Is the SCREENEZE system warrantied?
Yes — two ways. The SCREENEZE system carries a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, and our installation is backed by a 1-year HomeVantage workmanship warranty. If something isn't right, we make it right.
Can you screen in an existing porch or patio?
Usually, yes. We'll look at your existing structure and tell you honestly what's possible — and if the porch or patio needs work first, we can handle that too, since building and rebuilding outdoor spaces is our core business.
How much does it cost to screen a porch?
It depends on the size of the openings, the screen you choose, and the structure. Use the instant price tool above for a quick ballpark, then we'll give you a clear, itemized quote after a free in-home visit. Screening a porch is a modest project compared to a remodel, and the premium for a better screen system is a small part of the total — and the part you'll appreciate every day.
Do you also build or rebuild the porch itself?
Yes — that's our core business. We build and rebuild decks, porches, and outdoor living, then screen them. One team from the structure to the finished, screened space.
Do you screen patios too, or just porches?
Both. If you've got a covered porch or patio, we can typically enclose it. We'll confirm what's possible for your specific space at the consultation.
