Mobile Screened Porches - Full-Service Screened Porch Installation
Mobile gets around 65 inches of rain per year - one of the highest averages of any city in the continental US. Add mosquitoes that are active from March through October, two love bug seasons each spring and fall, and afternoon heat indexes that push into the 100s from June through September, and an unscreened back porch is pretty much unusable for half the year. A properly built screened porch changes that. You get airflow, shade, and bug protection without spending money on HVAC.
We handle every phase of the build: site assessment, structural design, 3D rendering, permit filing with Mobile's Building Services Department, HOA submission if required, framing, roofing, screen installation, and a final walkthrough. No juggling subcontractors - same crew from concrete to screen.

A new screened porch addition in Mobile typically runs $9,000 to $20,000 depending on size, foundation type, roofline complexity, and materials.

The Mobile Screened Porches Build Process
Step 1 - Free In-Home Consultation
Our estimator visits your home, measures your yard and existing structure, reviews any HOA guidelines, and talks through your design goals. You get a written quote within 48 hours. No pressure, no sales pitch - just a number you can actually plan around.
Step 2 - Design and Permit
We put together a 3D rendering for your approval, then file the permit with Mobile's Building Services Department at Government Plaza. Mobile permits for residential additions typically take 2-3 weeks. We handle every form, every submission, and every inspection scheduling call - you don't need to set foot in a permit office.
Step 3 - Construction
Most screened porch builds run 5-8 working days once materials are on-site. We use the same crew start to finish - no subcontractors, so nothing falls through the gaps on day three because somebody handed off to somebody else. We work across all of Mobile County: Spring Hill, Midtown, Dog River, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, and out to the Eastern Shore.
Step 4 - Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished porch with you, address anything that isn't right before we leave, and hand over the city inspection report and warranty documentation. Every screened porch we build carries a 2-year labor warranty and a 30-year screen warranty on the fiberglass mesh.
