Benefits of Screened Porches
Protection from Insects
Warm summer evenings are perfect for gatherings, but insects can quickly ruin the experience. A screened porch provides a safe barrier, allowing you to enjoy fresh air without constant bug sprays or citronella candles. This creates a comfortable environment for meals, reading, or simply relaxing outdoors. It’s an ideal way to host family and friends without interruptions from pests.
Weather Resistance
Screened porches offer protection from rain, strong winds, and harsh sunlight, making them usable in nearly all weather conditions. By sheltering you from the elements, these structures allow for extended outdoor enjoyment without worrying about sudden showers or hot afternoons. They also help preserve outdoor furniture by reducing exposure to moisture and UV damage.
Extended Living Space
A screened porch effectively adds another room to your home, giving you more functional space without major construction. It can serve as a dining area, entertainment zone, or quiet retreat for reading and relaxing. This extra space seamlessly blends indoor comfort with outdoor ambiance, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle and family needs.
Increased Property Value
Investing in a screened porch enhances the overall appeal and market value of your property. Buyers often view these spaces as a ready-made outdoor retreat, making your home more attractive during resale. Beyond monetary value, a screened porch also demonstrates thoughtful home improvements that increase usability and elevate curb appeal.
Low-Maintenance Comfort
Unlike open decks or patios, screened porches require minimal upkeep. Debris, leaves, and dirt are kept outside, reducing frequent cleaning and maintenance efforts. This allows homeowners to focus on enjoying the space rather than constantly tidying it. The durable materials used also resist wear from weather, ensuring long-term usability.
Health & Wellness Benefits
Spending time outdoors has been linked to reduced stress, improved mental health, and overall well-being. A screened porch allows you to enjoy nature comfortably and safely, encouraging relaxation and mindfulness. It provides a private, tranquil setting for morning coffee, meditation, or casual family gatherings while reaping the benefits of fresh air.

Testimonials
I am so glad I found Singature Deck. After looking at several companies to build a simple gazebo with electricity and being disappointed, I contacted Todd at Signature Deck. He understood exactly what I wanted and his team, prior to construction, walked me through what it would look like on my property and made some great suggestions to enhance my original vision. The project was completed on time and the area was cleaned up well. Less than a year later, a tree limb fell and damaged the roof. I contacted Todd and his guys came the next day and repaired the roof (a 3-4 hour job) only charging for materials. I would highly recommend Signature Deck based on my experience with Todd and his team.

I hired Todd and his team to install a paver patio and vinyl pergola. I’m not only impressed with the quality and timeliness of his work but also with how fair and competitive his rates were. He created a 3D model of what I wanted within hours of speaking to him on the phone and had my project beginning less than a week after. His crew was professional, hardworking and respectful. Of all the contractors I’ve dealt with recently with my new home he was definitely the most responsive and caring! Thank you Todd! We are very excited to spend the summer on our beautiful new patio.

We recently had a new deck by signature deck and pergola company. They were extremely easy to work with. Todd the owner was patient with our multiple questions. The crew were all pleasant and professional every day. Best of all we love our new deck
Catherine C.
Todd and his crew were amazing! We hired them to build a screened in porch over our newly poured concrete. We called several different companies and none of them could give us what we wanted. We wanted a screened in porch, the other companies tried to sell us glassed in rooms, costing 3-4 times the cost of the porch we wanted. The process could not have been easier, we sent in pictures of our existing concrete pad and Todd sent us back pictures of what the porch would look like, along with an estimate, including extras if we choose after the project was complete. His crew was on time and completed the work professionally. We could not be any happier with the results, it's exactly what we wanted.
