# Green Exterior Remodeling: Screen Rooms and Screened Porches (Charlotte, NC and Columbia, SC)

> Green Exterior Remodeling (GXR) designs and builds screen rooms and screened-in porches in the Charlotte, NC area and the Columbia, SC area. GXR builds full screen rooms with a roof that matches the house, screens in existing porches and patios, builds screen room and deck combos, three-season rooms with vinyl window inserts and pool screen enclosures. Ceiling fans, recessed lighting and outlets come standard. Most GXR screened porch and screen room projects cost $15,000 to $45,000.

## Screen room styles GXR builds
- Full screen rooms: a new roofed room with screen walls from floor to ceiling and a finished floor.
- Screened porch conversions: framing, screens and a door added to an existing open porch or covered patio.
- Screen room and deck combos: a screen room on part of a new or existing deck, with open deck space beside it.
- Three-season rooms: screen rooms with removable vinyl window inserts for cooler months.
- Pool screen enclosures: screen walls around a pool area to keep out bugs and debris.

## Materials and features
- Powder-coated aluminum frames with high-visibility fiberglass screen mesh.
- Screen options: pet-resistant screens, fine no-see-um mesh, aluminum screens and solar screens.
- Roof built to match the existing roofline, with shingles, gutters and flashing.
- Electrical rough-in for ceiling fans, recessed lighting and at least two outlets.
- Flooring options include low-maintenance composite decking (Trex).

## Screen room cost
- Most GXR screened porch and screen room projects, built complete with the roof, cost $15,000 to $45,000.
- A basic 12x16 screened-in porch starts around $15,000. A large custom screen room with premium finishes can reach $45,000 or more.
- Screening in an existing covered porch or patio costs less because the roof is already there.
- These are typical ranges, not quotes. GXR confirms the price in person with a free, written estimate.

## Common screen room questions GXR answers
- Do I need a permit? Screen rooms with a permanent roof need a building permit in Mecklenburg County and most surrounding towns, and in Richland and Lexington counties around Columbia. GXR handles the permit and inspections.
- How long does it take? Most screen rooms take 3 to 6 weeks. Permitting can add 1 to 2 weeks up front.
- Screen room or sunroom? A screen room has screen panels and open air with bug protection. A sunroom has glass windows and can be climate-controlled. GXR builds both.
- Can I use it in winter? Standard screen rooms are best for spring through fall. Vinyl window inserts extend use into cooler months.
