Additions Case Studies: Screened Porch in Dayton, MD

Challenge

When warm weather hits a lot of our customers turn to our expertise and knowledge with design and remodeling in order to transform their outdoor living spaces. These homeowners in Dayton, MD were no exception. After previously building them a family room addition, they asked us to come back to their home and create a screen porch for the back of their home.

Solution

What they had in mind was a space that would be perfect for entertaining, without giving up any of the comforts of being indoors. The addition that we built had large windows to let in a ton of natural light, and it flowed seamlessly with the existing exterior of the home. They wanted the look and flow of the screen porch to match just as well, so we continued to follow the vertical lines of the windows from the addition when adding the screen panels onto the porch. Also, the addition had a half-round window above the windows; we added the same style window to the screen porch to keep continuity on the exterior.

Inside the screened porch was a hot tub and a built-in bar, creating the perfect outdoor party environment that any family who loves to entertain needs. In order to make sure the space can be used year-round, we added a second HVAC system in the attic to balance out the heat and AC. The vaulted ceilings made the space appear even larger. We included a blue stone patio, perfect for barbecuing on a warm summer day, that also increases the size of their outdoor living space.

The homeowners were very pleased with the way that their home was transformed. They love having people over to entertain, and can't stop raving about the excellent design and craftsmanship provided by our team.
