Screened Porch Installation: Choices That Make It Fit Your House

A screened porch should look like it belongs to the house, not like it got tacked on later. A few choices up front make a big difference in how it looks from the street and how well it holds up.

Pick a trim color that matches

Look at the trim and siding you already have. ScreenEze comes in a few cap colors, so the finished porch can blend in with your house instead of standing out.

Choose the screen for the job

• Standard fiberglass keeps the view open and works for most openings.
• Darker mesh is usually easier to see through from inside.
• Pet-resistant screen is a good call for lower panels if you have a dog or cat.

Think about the door

Put the screen door where people actually walk, usually lined up with the house door or the steps to the yard. Decide which way it should swing so it doesn't fight with furniture or the grill.

Why people like ScreenEze

ScreenEze holds the screen in a track with a cap over it, so you don't see staples or wood strips. It's a clean look, and if one section gets damaged later, that section can be rescreened by itself. That's a big reason it's our go-to for screened in porch installation.

Already have a covered porch?

If the roof and posts are already there, a screen porch conversion may be all you need.
