Hurricane-Rated Frames

Traditional wood porches and lanais fail during coastal storms because they lack structural wind-load engineering. We design every screen porch and lanai to meet Beaufort County wind codes, giving Hilton Head and Bluffton homeowners hurricane-rated protection.

Puncture-Proof Screens

Standard fiberglass screens sag and tear under Lowcountry wind and UV exposure. Our screen porch and lanai systems use premium high-density mesh that resists pet claws, wind pressure, and flying debris, staying drum-tight for years in coastal conditions.

Maintenance-Free Finish

Coastal salt air rots wood porches and rusts steel within years. Our powder-coated aluminum screen porch and lanai frames in Bronze, White, or Sandstone never need sanding, staining, or sealing, giving you total resistance to corrosion and zero maintenance.

Flawless execution from start to finish

Explore our photo gallery to see completed projects.

01

Design & Permit Planning

We measure your existing space, design the layout to match your home's architecture, and submit all engineering plans and permit applications to Beaufort County building departments. You don't lift a finger.

02

Structural Base Anchoring

We anchor heavy-duty aluminum base channels directly into your concrete slab or porch foundation using structural masonry fasteners. If your existing surface needs reinforcement, we'll identify that during the site visit and provide options.

03

Aluminum Frame Assembly

Our crew assembles the heavy-duty aluminum frame on-site, installing vertical posts, overhead beams, and integrated rain gutters. Every joint is precision-fitted for maximum wind resistance.

04

Screen Mesh Installation

Using specialized tensioning tools, we stretch your chosen screen mesh tight across each panel and lock it securely into the frame channels. The result is a drum-tight, wrinkle-free finish.

05

Door & Hardware Tuning

We install your custom screen door with a hydraulic self-closer, mount secure latches, and walk you through the finished space. Once we've completed our final inspection, your porch is ready to use immediately, no curing, no waiting.

No-See-Um Bug Proof Lanai Riverton Pointe, Ridgeland, SC

hurricane-rated screen porch installation

📍 Riverton Pointe, Ridgeland, SC

Description This 22' x 12' covered porch was already a great shaded spot but was unusable for much of the year due to the relentless insects, including no see ums. We enclosed the space using 20/20 No See Um screening, a fine gauge mesh specifically designed to block even the smallest biting midges while still allowing full airflow and visibility. The dark bronze powder coated aluminum frame was chosen to match the charcoal grey screen, creating a clean, understated look that blends seamlessly with the home's exterior. The result is a comfortable, bug free outdoor room where the homeowners enjoy morning coffee, evening gatherings, and everything in between. 365 comfort!

Cost Range $3,000, $4,000

What is the average aluminum screen enclosure cost?

Every project is unique. We provide a custom quote based on square footage, height, and site conditions. Because we use heavy-gauge aluminum and wind-load certified engineering, our enclosures are built as permanent home additions.

What colors are available for the aluminum framing?

Our custom aluminum screen porches are available in a premium architectural palette, including Bronze, White, and Sandstone finishes to perfectly match your home's exterior.

What kind of warranty is included with the screen porch?

We stand behind our work with a comprehensive 10-Year structural and mesh warranty, protecting your investment against material defects and structural failures.

How long does the installation process take?

Our on-site build process is incredibly efficient, requiring only 2 to 3 days of active on-site work. Because there is no cure time required, your new porch is ready for immediate use the moment we finish.

How do I clean and maintain the aluminum frame and screens?

Maintenance is incredibly simple. Our powder-coated aluminum frames naturally resist mold, mildew, and salt buildup. Simply rinse the structure down once or twice a year with a standard garden hose to keep it looking pristine.
