## Services

- [Custom Screened Porch Build](https://www.screenporchbuilder.com/#services): Full design and construction of screened porches from scratch — on a new pad, an existing deck, or tied into your home's roofline. Includes full permit handling (Greenville & Laurens County), roof style options (gable, shed, hip, cathedral), structural aluminum or pressure-treated wood framing, and optional ceiling fans, lighting, and TV rough-in. Most builds complete in 3–7 business days after permit approval.

- [Patio Enclosures](https://www.screenporchbuilder.com/#services): Convert an existing concrete slab or patio into a screened outdoor room. Faster and more affordable than building from scratch. HOA-compliant designs for all local communities. Matched to your home's exterior trim and color. Most projects complete in 2–4 days.

- [Porch Repair & Re-Screening](https://www.screenporchbuilder.com/#services): Same-week service for torn screens, rotten wood, sagging frames, and leaky roof flashing. Honest repair-vs-replace assessment. Re-screening available in fiberglass, pet-resistant, solar, or no-see-um mesh.
