Screened Porches in Clarkson Valley, Missouri

Clarkson Valley homes and this kind of project

Because Clarkson Valley is made up of large traditional homes from the 1970s and 1980s, the first thing we check for a screened porch here is whether existing footings and framing can carry a roof and where second-floor windows limit the tie-in.

The housing stock here: large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.

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

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Clarkson Valley

Brick and wood exteriors needing trim repair and paint, original decks and patios ready for replacement with covered outdoor rooms.

Builder decks in Clarkson Valley 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

For walkout homes in Clarkson Valley we also enclose the area beneath an existing deck, adding under-deck drainage, a finished ceiling, screens and a concrete or paver floor.

We take on screened porch work across Clarkson Valley, from neighborhoods around Forest Hills Country Club to Kehrs Mill Road estates.

What we watch for

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

Clarkson Valley properties tend to be lots of about an acre, and that affects how we stage materials, where framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Clarkson Valley

In Clarkson Valley, a screened porch is reviewed by Clarkson Valley plan review with St. Louis County permits. What follows is footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on city architectural expectations for a uniformly traditional community. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Clarkson Valley clients see three to six weeks of construction for a screened porch.

Clarkson Valley is I-64 to Clarkson Road, 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 Clarkson Valley

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

• Roof type and how complicated the tie-in is.
• Ceiling finish, such as stained tongue-and-groove versus painted beadboard.
