Most reputable screened porch contractors measure and quote at no charge and without obligation, but it isn't universal — ask when you book the visit. This site never charges homeowners anything.

It depends on the company and the season. In the Upstate SC markets these guides cover, estimate visits are commonly scheduled within one to two weeks of the first call. If your timeline is tight, say so in the notes field and when you contact each contractor.

It helps to have a rough idea of the size you want (e.g., 12×16 ft, or "as wide as the patio"), whether you have an existing concrete slab, and any HOA architectural guidelines if your neighborhood has an HOA. The contractor should bring material samples and color chips and do the measuring — you don't need blueprints or drawings.

The licensed contractor you hire should file it and attend the inspections — get that in the contract, and ask whether the permit fee is inside the bid. Review typically takes 7–14 business days in Greenville and Laurens counties, separate from build time. If a contractor asks you to pull an owner-builder permit, they are moving the liability onto you.

Once permits are approved, most screened porch builds complete in 3–7 business days. Patio enclosures on an existing slab can often be done in 2–3 days. The permit approval timeline (7–14 business days) is separate from the build time and is typically the longest part of the schedule.
