You might be a porch person if you like to experience the seasons with all your senses.
Adding a screened porch to your home will give you that perfect space where you can experience the changing seasons year-round. Bring all of your senses to the party we call “spring busting out all over.” Spring, summer, fall, winter – a screened porch allows you to see, feel, hear, smell and even taste the seasons. Each turning page of the calendar brings transformation outdoors, and each day may bring some incremental change you will miss if you are not out there!

You might be a porch person if you like to feel the wind in your hair.
Catch every breeze that swishes by on its way to wherever it is that breezes go! In the summer, much-welcome breezes break the sultry afternoon heat. Just before a summer storm, the atmosphere swirls with a charge in the air. In the fall, gentle gusts sweep leaves from the trees and deposit them at your doorstep. Spending time on a screened porch from The Porch Company lets you enjoy all of those precious breezes. And when the air is still, stir up a breeze of your own with the ceiling fan on your lovely screened porch.

Where else can you enjoy the aromas of the seasons without being burdened by insects or even rain?

The screens of your new screened porch will allow the fragrance in while keeping the insects out.

With a porch roof, you’ll always have shade and you’ll always have a breeze, because we install ceiling fans almost everywhere we go! Shade and breezes are two of the best antidotes to the sultry heat of summer. A porch roof blocks UV rays, too, and fans keep the air circulating. If you love the outdoors, minus the heat, a screened porch is the ideal outdoor living space.
