Bridgeton homes and this kind of project
A screened porch in Bridgeton means working in brick ranches and two-stories from the 1950s to 1970s, so on our first visit we look at whether existing footings and framing can carry a roof and where second-floor windows limit the tie-in.
The housing stock here: 1950s to 1970s brick ranches and two-stories.
A low shed or gable porch suits a ranch roofline well.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Bridgeton
Brick needs little, but wood trim, windows, porches and decks do.
Mid-century lots in Bridgeton are wide and level with mature trees, which makes them excellent for screened porches and low decks. Shade means damp, so composite decking and rot-proof trim earn their cost here.
What is included
Our Bridgeton screened porch builds include engineering as needed, permit, footings, framing, roof tie-in with full flashing, roofing, a screen track system, screen door, electrical, ceiling and trim finishes and stairs to grade.
We take on screened porch work in and around neighborhoods near St. Charles Rock Road and Natural Bridge Road.
What we watch for
HOA rules in many Bridgeton subdivisions cover roofed structures more strictly than open decks. We submit elevations early and design to match the house.
Working on modest suburban lots, as we do in Bridgeton, we plan access for framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in Bridgeton
In Bridgeton, a screened porch is reviewed by the City of Bridgeton. What follows is footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.
Exterior work in Bridgeton can also involve ordinary city zoning, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on three to six weeks of site work for a screened porch in Bridgeton, once permits and materials are in hand.
Bridgeton is I-70 east across the Blanchette Bridge, about thirty-five minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.
What moves the price in Bridgeton
We price screened porches in Bridgeton from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- New structure versus upgrading an existing deck.
- Roof type and how complicated the tie-in is.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main screened porches page. More about the area is on our Bridgeton page.
Screened Porches in Bridgeton: common questions
How long does a screened porch take in Bridgeton?
Three to six weeks of construction. For Bridgeton we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a screened porch in Bridgeton?
Possibly. In Bridgeton you may be dealing with ordinary city zoning. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can it go under my existing deck?
Yes, on walkouts. With an under-deck drainage system above, the patio below can be screened in.
