Turn your existing patio or deck into a comfortable screen porch with tight, clean screening that keeps bugs out and airflow in. Raleigh Screens installs and repairs screen porch enclosures, from framing fixes and re-screening to full-build wall panels and screen doors.
A screen porch only performs as well as the base it sits on, so we start by checking the deck or slab for level, rot, and attachment points. We verify post locations, ledger connection, fasteners, and load paths, then plan panel layout so seams land on solid framing and openings stay square. If repairs are needed, we replace damaged 4x4 or 6x6 posts, rim boards, and rails, correct sag with proper blocking, and prep surfaces for new components. Before any screening goes up, we confirm door swings, clearances, and water shedding so the finished enclosure looks straight and works smoothly.
Local humidity and pollen can expose weak joints and loose screen fast, so we build for real-world conditions. Our standard screen porch systems use pressure-treated framing where needed, exterior-rated screws, corrosion-resistant hardware, and UV-stable fiberglass mesh, with aluminum screen frame or wood stop molding depending on the structure. For strength and cleaner lines, we often use spline-rolled screen in aluminum extrusions, and we can upgrade to heavy-duty pet screen, no-see-um mesh for small insects, or solar screen to cut glare. Finish details include kick plates, bottom rails set above splashback, tight mitered corners, caulked trim joints where appropriate, and properly hung screen doors with closers and positive latching.
Customers in Raleigh choose us because we treat screen porch work like exterior construction, not a quick patch. You get clear options on mesh type, frame method, and door hardware, plus a written scope so there are no surprises. Our crews bring the right equipment for accurate fits, including laser levels, miter saws, impact drivers, and screen rolling tools for consistent spline tension. We keep the jobsite controlled, protect decking and adjacent siding, and focus on straight reveals, solid anchoring, and screens that stay drum-tight instead of rippling after the first hot week.
At closeout, we do a full walkthrough with you and check every panel, fastener, and latch. We verify door alignment, hinge screws, closer tension, and that the screen is uniformly tensioned with no puckers, gaps, or loose spline. You receive the final scope of work, material selections (mesh type, frame method, hardware), and care guidance for cleaning and seasonal use. If you called for screen porch repair, we show the root cause we corrected, whether it was rotted framing, pulled staples, shifted posts, or failed hardware, so the fix lasts.
Yes, we provide a free written estimate after an on-site measure so the scope and materials are clear.
Often, yes. We’ll identify your current frame system and mesh type, then recommend the closest match that performs well and is available.
Small repairs can be quick, while larger porches and multi-panel walls take longer due to prep, panel count, and door work. After we measure, we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Yes. We can replace torn mesh, bent frame members, damaged doors, and compromised trim, and we’ll flag any structural issues that need carpentry before screening.
We’ll confirm payment options with your written estimate and invoice. If your project requires a deposit for custom materials, we’ll state that upfront.
A screen porch should feel like an outdoor room, not a drafty, sagging enclosure that lets mosquitoes in and rattles in the wind. Raleigh Screens handles screen porch installation and screen porch repair for homeowners and light commercial properties, including re-screening, framing repairs, door replacements, and full enclosure builds. We match the build to your structure, your budget, and how you actually use the space, whether that means maximum airflow, pet resistance, or finer mesh for tiny insects.
For new work, we start by evaluating the existing deck, patio, or slab and the tie-in points to the home. Proper post spacing, rigid top and bottom rails, and straight openings matter because screen fabric will telegraph every bow and twist. Depending on the design, we use aluminum screen framing with spline for a clean, serviceable system, or wood framing with exterior trim details where it better matches the home. We can incorporate knee walls, kick plates, and durable bottom rails to protect screens from splashback, pets, and foot traffic.
For screen porch repair, we look past the torn mesh and address what caused the failure. Common fixes include replacing rotted rails or posts, tightening loose framing, re-hanging doors, and swapping rusted hinges or latches. Then we install the right mesh for the job, standard fiberglass for everyday use, no-see-um for smaller insects, or pet-resistant mesh in high-contact areas. If you need storm prep, we can reinforce weak sections and correct fasteners so panels stay tight.
If you want a screen porch that looks clean, stays tight through the seasons, and functions like a real entry space, we can help. Request a written estimate and we will recommend the best enclosure approach, mesh type, and door hardware for your structure and goals.
