Beautiful screened-in porch with comfortable outdoor furniture and ceiling fan in North Carolina

Outdoor Living Without Compromise

A screened porch is one of the best investments you can make in a North Carolina home. With our long warm season (easily April through November), you get months of additional living space — protected from insects, pollen, light rain, and harsh afternoon sun.

Sterling Blue designs and builds custom screened porches, covered decks, and combination structures that seamlessly extend your home's footprint. Whether you're converting an existing deck or building from scratch, we create spaces you'll actually use every day.

What We Build

  • Screened-In Porches — Full screen enclosures with durable aluminum or fiberglass screening, perfect for bug-free outdoor dining and lounging
  • Covered Decks — Roof extensions and pergola-style covers that provide shade and rain protection
  • 3-Season Rooms — Screened porches with additional weatherproofing for extended seasonal use
  • Deck-to-Porch Conversions — Transform your existing open deck into an enclosed screened porch
  • Combination Structures — Part open deck, part screened porch — the best of both worlds

Design Options

Every screened porch we build is custom-designed to complement your home's architecture and match your lifestyle:

  • Roofing — Shed, gable, hip, or flat roof designs that match your home's roofline
  • Screening — Standard fiberglass, no-see-um mesh, or premium screen systems (Screeneze, Screen Tight)
  • Flooring — Composite decking, wood, tile, or stamped concrete options
  • Ceiling — Tongue-and-groove wood, beadboard, or exposed rafters with ceiling fans
  • Lighting — Recessed cans, pendant lights, string lights, or fan-integrated lighting
  • Extras — Built-in grilling stations, fireplaces, TV mounting, and more

Why a Screened Porch Makes Sense in NC

North Carolina ranks among the top states for mosquito activity, with peak season running May through October. A screened porch lets you enjoy your backyard during those months without chemical sprays or constant swatting. Covered designs also protect against our frequent summer afternoon thunderstorms and provide critical shade when temperatures climb above 90°F.

From a value perspective, screened porches consistently rank among the highest-ROI home improvements in the Southeast, often returning 70–80% of project costs at resale.
