Screened Porches in Chesterfield, Missouri

Chesterfield homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a screened porch in Chesterfield is spent on whether existing footings and framing can carry a roof and where second-floor windows limit the tie-in, which tells us how large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and newer estate homes to the west were put together.

The housing stock here: large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and ranches in established subdivisions, with newer estate homes to the west.

Second-story windows on two-stories of this era usually decide between a gable and a shed roof.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Chesterfield

Brick fronts with wood or early hardboard siding elsewhere often need siding replacement. Mature lots favor screened porches and composite decks. Subdivision trustees review exterior changes.

Builder decks in Chesterfield from these decades were minimal and are now at or past the end of their safe life. Replacement is a chance to correct ledger flashing, deepen footings and build something sized for how families use outdoor space today.

What is included

Our Chesterfield 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 across Chesterfield, from the Wild Horse Creek Road corridor to neighborhoods off Clarkson, Baxter and Olive and Chesterfield Valley commercial district.

What we watch for

HOA rules in many Chesterfield subdivisions cover roofed structures more strictly than open decks. We submit elevations early and design to match the house.

Site logistics matter: Chesterfield has generous, rolling lots with mature trees, so we agree with you where framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters will park, store material and carry out debris.

Permits and approvals in Chesterfield

For a screened porch at a Chesterfield address, the paperwork goes to Chesterfield's planning department together with the St. Louis County permit process. Expect footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.

Exterior work in Chesterfield can also involve subdivision trustees, and we put that package together for you.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a screened porch in Chesterfield generally runs three to six weeks.

Chesterfield is down I-64 and over the Daniel Boone Bridge, just under half an hour 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 Chesterfield

We price screened porches in Chesterfield from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Ceiling finish, such as stained tongue-and-groove versus painted beadboard.
• Electrical, fans, heaters and any convertible vinyl or glass panels.
