McWhorter Outdoor Living Builds a Screen Porch in Columbia, MD

By on

We’ve been busy these past few months! Check out our progress as we build a cedar screen room using part the frame of the homeowners original deck.

This particular project features a screened-in porch and a curved patio with a unique arched bench. Also, in the before and after photos above you will notice the staircase location to the deck has been relocated to make better use of the backyard space.

In the images below, you will see the original deck design as well as an image of the deck frame after the decking was removed.

Once the decking was removed, we extended the surface area of the new deck to bring it up to code and to make room for the new screen room.

Below are some images of the new completed screen room and deck with brand new decking and handrails.

Also, check out this shot from inside the new screen porch. Notice the removable aluminum framed screen panels, textured plywood ceiling with exposed rafters and the new ceiling fan/light.

Here is a detailed shot of the curved bench on the new deck.

And lastly, here is the view of the screened porch. Notice the roof lines and room location were designed to mirror the bump out on the front of the house, so the screen room looks like part of the original plans for the house.
