Why Fall Is the Best Time to Plan Next Summer's Screened In Porch

Nobody's thinking about mosquitoes in late October. That's exactly why it's the best time to plan a screened in porch. Here's why getting it on the books now pays off.

Spring fills up fast

The first warm weekend in April, everyone in Minnesota remembers they wanted a screened porch. Estimates and installs stack up quickly, and the folks who call in May are often waiting into summer. Planning in the fall puts you near the front of the line.

You remember what bugged you

Right now you still remember the evenings you gave up on the deck because of bugs, the afternoons it was too hot in the sun, and where the wind came from. That's the stuff that shapes a good design: where the door goes, which side gets heavier mesh, whether you want solar screen on the west side.

Time to sort out the structure

Sometimes an estimate turns up a soft post, a sagging beam, or a deck that needs work before screening. Finding that in the fall gives you the winter to get it handled instead of scrambling in May.

Some installs can still happen this season

Depending on the weather and your porch, we can sometimes still get a fall install done. If not, we'll lock in your spot for spring.
