Recently, we had the pleasure of completing a stunning transformation in Jamestown, North Carolina, where we turned an outdated deck into a spacious, low-maintenance screened porch and deck combination for the homeowners. This project exemplifies our commitment to quality craftsmanship and using top-tier materials to meet our clients’ needs.

The yard is grassy with some mulch, and the deck appears smaller and less elaborate compared to the new construction.The homeowners approached us with a clear vision: they wanted to replace their existing deck with something larger, more versatile, and above all, easy to maintain. After a thorough consultation, we decided on a complete demo of the old structure and rebuilt it into a generous 16′ x 30′ deck and screened porch combo. This design not only expands the usable outdoor area but also provides a bug-free zone for relaxing, dining, or entertaining year-round, creating a comfortable and inviting space the whole family can enjoy in any season.

To ensure longevity and minimal upkeep, we selected premium materials that stand up to North Carolina’s weather while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. The flooring features Trex decking, renowned for its resistance to fading, staining, and scratching—no more annual sealing or painting required. For the ceiling, we installed vinyl beadboard, which offers a classic look with virtually no maintenance. The posts are wrapped in Miratec, a durable composite trim that provides a clean, finished appearance without the hassle of wood rot or insect damage.

One standout feature of this build is the Trex Cocktail rail, a newer offering from Trex that elevates the design with a wider top rail for setting drinks or decor. It delivers a sleek, modern profile that complements the overall clean lines of the porch, making it perfect for casual gatherings or quiet evenings.

The end result? A seamless extension of the home’s living space that’s as practical as it is inviting. The homeowners now enjoy enhanced outdoor living without the worry of constant maintenance, allowing them to focus on what matters most—making memories with family and friends.
