Screened Porches & Covered Decks in Charlotte, NC

Screened porches and covered decks turn an outdoor space you use a few months a year into one you use most of it. In Charlotte's climate, that means keeping the summer sun and afternoon storms off you while pollen and bugs stay outside. This category covers builders who handle both: framing a roof structure over an existing or new deck, tying it into your home's roofline, and adding screen panels, half-walls, or full enclosures depending on what you want. Some jobs are straightforward roof-over-deck additions; others involve tearing off an old deck, pouring footings, and building a full structure from the ground up with electrical for fans and lighting.

We track 20 businesses in the Charlotte area that do this kind of work. Before hiring, ask how they handle roof tie-ins and flashing (this is where leaks start), whether they pull permits for structural and electrical work, and whether they use pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite for framing and decking. Get a written scope that separates the deck structure, the roof, and the screening or enclosure, since pricing and lead times differ for each.

Our rankings weigh licensing, verified reviews, response time, and the consistency of past work, not just star ratings. See the full breakdown in our methodology, or jump straight to the ranked list of Charlotte deck builders to compare who's covered in this category against the rest of the field.
