As the summer of 2021 draws to a gentle close, the approaching fall season is one that many of our clients love. The days of being concerned about high outdoor temperatures and sometimes scorching heat are being replaced with cherished moments of outdoor refreshment with temperatures often in the high 60s and 70s – especially in the early morning with outdoor coffee or after dinner when the kids are finally down for the evening.

Priding ourselves in being the preferred and premier deck and porch builder of the Central Georgia area, Archadeck welcomes inquiries from families that want to more truly enjoy their backyards, but need our creative design and planning help to do just that.

Take, for example, this virtually barren backyard with a small builder-grade concrete patio. It barely accommodated a seating area and patio table and chairs – with absolutely no protection from outdoor elements. Not liking that situation, our latest Archadeck of Central Georgia client reached out to us for our outdoor living expertise.

WITH OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES, SIZE DEFINITELY MATTERS – THE BIGGER THE BETTER

“How do you envision using your backyard in the future? What’s your wish list?,’” we asked our Feagin Mill family members. “We’d love a large screened porch, but this concrete pad is just way too small, and that’s just for starters,” they replied.

So putting pen to paper, our outdoor living consultation professional started to map out an idea that would increase the square footage of that existing concrete pad significantly. We showed them how adding more structurally sound concrete behind the house would be the first step in our screened porch builder solution, keeping their original slab as a starting point.

To accommodate their desired screened porch request, shortly thereafter we arrived with a cement truck to generously expand the footprint of what would soon become the foundation of a magnificent screened porch – complete with a stunning fire feature.

Before the concrete pour, we installed the proper footings to support the outdoor living space structure – along with steel rebar and other critical reinforcements.

To ensure that the slope of the home rear exterior was taken into consideration for this critical first step of the screened porch build, the cement was poured in both the front and into all sides of the new foundation area to accommodate the grade of the backyard.

After the slab patio and screened porch floor was built out, our next step was to install an aluminum wall system to provide sturdy structural support and integrity.

SCREENED PORCHES GIVE YOU THE BEST OF ALL OUTDOOR WORLDS – FRESH AIR, BEAUTIFUL SIGHT LINES, AND NO PESKY MOSQUITOES OR OTHER ANNOYING INSECTS

To make sure that this new outdoor living space would be all that it could be, next came the installation of the screening material, surrounding the entire front and sides of the exterior structure. In doing so, we eliminated the entrance of insects, pollen and other seasonal debris from violating this new space.

To finish the screened porch, we added vinyl siding inside and out, along with a knee wall all the way around the perimeter of the porch. And to protect from unwanted elements from above, we built a hip roof attachment tying into the home’s existing roof for a seamless transition. By doing so, it now looks like this screened porch was always there – from day one. We even installed new gutters to facilitate the flow of falling rainwater away from the screened porch sides.

To beautify the interior of this new outdoor living room, this screened porch custom builder integrated Dutch quality stacked stone in the color of Arizona to surround and complement the new electric fireplace.
