Screened-In Porches in Grand Island, NY
A screened-in porch stretches your outdoor season from Memorial Day through the first hard frost, as long as the screen door actually seals. We build or retrofit the frame, install a sealed screen door system, and use weatherproof fasteners and trim that hold up to Western New York humidity and freeze-thaw swings year after year.

Screened-In Porches the Grand Island way
Grand Island is part of Buffalo’s Northtowns, suburban lots and mature trees, with enough lake-effect snow most winters that frost-depth footings aren’t optional. Every screened-in porches project we take on there gets the same standard as everywhere else in Western New York: footings set below the 48-inch frost line, framing sized for lake-effect snow loads, and flashed, sealed connections at the point freeze and thaw attacks first. We handle the permit process with your local building department from start to finish.

FAQs
Will a screened porch actually keep bugs out?
Yes, when the framing and screen door are sealed properly, which is most of the job. A loose-fitting screen door undoes the whole system, so we spend real time getting that part right.
Do I need a permit for a porch?
Yes, in nearly every case. A porch is a structural addition, not cosmetic work. We handle the permit filing and inspection scheduling as part of the job.
What warranty comes with the work?
10 years on workmanship for new builds, 2 years on repairs, plus manufacturer warranties on boards, up to 50 years on some composites. Both in writing with the quote.
