Harvester homes and this kind of project
A screened porch in Harvester means working in 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories, 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: 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories in established subdivisions, with some newer infill.
Second-story windows on two-stories of this era usually decide between a gable and a shed roof.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Harvester
Mature trees and thirty-year-old decks go together. We replace many with composite and correct ledger flashing at the same time. Original wood siding and trim often need repair.
Builder decks in Harvester 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 Harvester 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 Harvester, from the Highway 94 and Jungermann Road area to neighborhoods along Harvester Road and Caulks Hill Road.
What we watch for
HOA rules in many Harvester subdivisions cover roofed structures more strictly than open decks. We submit elevations early and design to match the house.
Working on leafy, established subdivision lots, as we do in Harvester, we plan access for framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in Harvester
In Harvester, a screened porch is reviewed by St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated. What follows is footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.
Exterior work in Harvester can also involve subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods, 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 Harvester, once permits and materials are in hand.
Harvester is a little under half an hour by I-70 or Highway 364 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 Harvester
We price screened porches in Harvester 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 Harvester page.
Screened Porches in Harvester: common questions
How long does a screened porch take in Harvester?
Three to six weeks of construction. In Harvester, permit review by St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a screened porch in Harvester?
Possibly. In Harvester you may be dealing with subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods. 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.
