Screen Time
Posted by Matt Brooke on February 21, 2013

Of all the many projects we do at Home ReBuilders, screened porches are one of our favorites. Atlanta’s mild climate (and plentiful bugs) make a screened porch a valuable addition to any home. Some porches can be an extension of the front entry making a welcoming spot to watch the neighborhood and greet friends. Other porches provide a location to watch a football game on a flat screen tv or enjoy the warmth of an outdoor fireplace.
Some factors to consider when thinking about a porch addition concern the current style of your home. Is your roof pitch in the style of a peaked Tudor home? Are Craftsman elements existing on your exterior facade? When adding an exterior feature to your home, consider the style and how to best capitalize and improve on it. At Home Rebuilders, we think a lot about these details. Exposed rafters, beaded board ceilings, timber framing, and custom brackets are all details we can deploy to create a thoughtful addition to your home. The list of material choices and selections can be infinite, from salvaged brick flooring installed in a herringbone pattern, painted wood deck flooring, or fieldstone to variations on screening to be used. Home ReBuilders can walk you through the design and construction and get you into an screen porch, ready for some warm weather.
