Screened Porch Builder
in Laurens, SC
Custom screened porches, repairs, and re-screening in Laurens, SC — the Laurens County seat. Family-owned, SC licensed contractor serving Laurens and all of Laurens County since 1995. Licensed, insured, and built right.
Laurens is the county seat — Laurens County Building & Zoning is right here in town, so permit filings are as straightforward as they get. The character here is different from the fast-growing subdivisions to the north: homes are more established, 1960s through 1990s vintage, with existing screened porches that have aged into disrepair. Torn screens, rotted posts, failing roof flashing, and sagging frames are the most common calls from Laurens homeowners. We provide full assessments and honest repair-versus-replace recommendations — no pressure toward a bigger project than you actually need. The historic downtown square and older Laurens neighborhoods have beautiful lots and solid bones. They often just need skilled hands to restore them.

Real reviews from neighbors in Laurens and Laurens County, SC.
"Porch from 1985 — torn screens, rotted posts, the works. Fair repair estimate, done in two days. Looks better than it has in years. Really glad we called."
"We chose a full rebuild after seeing their assessment — they were right, the old frame wasn't worth saving. New porch done in 5 days, permit handled completely by them."
"Permit came back in 9 days, which surprised me. Crew was on-site the following Monday. On time, clean, exactly what was promised. No surprises."
