Screened-In Porches in Buffalo, 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.
What’s included
Every job starts with a design or assessment visit and ends with a clean, cleared-up yard. In between: permits pulled where needed, inspections passed, and work we photograph for your records.
Frame & screen system walkthrough
Panel and sliding screen door options compared for durability and look.
Structural check
Existing posts and framing evaluated before we build the screen frame off them.

Screened-In Porches 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.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. A visit takes about an hour, and the written quote arrives within 48 hours. It’s valid for 60 days and there’s no pressure follow-up.
