Here’s a page quick overview to help you decide if we’re right for you.
A 16×16 screened-in porch in the Pelham area starts at $35,000. That price includes everything you need to get started—professionally drafted plans for permitting, a brand-new structure with properly sized footers, a roof structure that ties seamlessly into your existing roofline, full screening, and a stair system with up to 16 steps leading into the yard. This is not just a quick add-on—it’s a full outdoor living upgrade designed and built to meet code and look like it’s always been part of your home.
Costs can go up depending on the features you choose. Homeowners often add extra uncovered space for grilling or entertaining, which increases the square footage. Other upgrades include electrical wiring for ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and outdoor outlets. If you want high-end finishes like an all-cedar structure or a V-groove wood ceiling, those will add to the final cost as well. Every screened-in porch we build is customized to fit your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.

What Our Clients Want to Know
A 12×12 screened-in porch costs between $20,000 and $30,000 in the Pelham, AL area. This includes demolition of the existing deck, properly sized footers, a new deck, the roof structure, roofing, and screening. Upgrades like a V-groove ceiling, timber framing, a fireplace, or custom lighting will increase the total cost.
While this covers the screened-in porch, keep in mind that the deck itself is a significant portion of the cost. I have an article that offers a more detailed breakdown of what goes into the price of a 12×12 deck in the Birmingham, AL area.
If you live in any Birmingham area neighborhood with an HOA, the answer is almost always yes. Most HOAs require pre-approval for any changes to your home’s footprint, roofline, or exterior design—including covered and screened-in porches.

If you’re trying to figure out the best way to screen in your porch, we almost always recommend going with the SCREENEZE® system. It just works. We’ve seen it hold up better than anything else. It looks clean, handles big openings, and stands up to pets, weather, and daily life without a fuss.
If you’re curious about how it stacks up against other options like fiberglass or vinyl, we put together a quick guide that compares the most common screen materials and systems: What Type of Screen Is Best for a Porch in the South?
Yes, a building permit is required to screen in an existing porch. The permit ensures a proper plan is in place for footers, joists, and rafters, following structural and safety codes. Inspections help protect homeowners from unqualified contractors and prevent costly mistakes or code violations.
In most cases, a full rebuild is recommended. If it’s 10-20 years old, adding a new roof structure on top of aging framing is not ideal. Additionally, most existing decks do not have footers large enough to support a roof, and the framing may not be up to code. Every situation is different, so consulting a licensed contractor is the best way to determine what’s right for your home. Check out our guide for when to add a roof to your existing deck and when to rebuild to learn more.
