O'Fallon homes and this kind of project
Because O'Fallon is made up of two-stories and atrium ranches from the 1985 to 2010 boom, 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: mostly 1985 to 2010 production two-stories, ranches and atrium ranches, with older ranches and bungalows near the original town center.
Second-story windows on two-stories of this era usually decide between a gable and a shed roof.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in O'Fallon
Decks from the 1990s are reaching the end of their life, and we replace many with composite. Wood brickmould and garage door trim rot at the base. Established trees give some lots good shade, but west-facing patios still call for a roof.
Builder decks in O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon, from the Highway K corridor to old town O'Fallon and WingHaven.
What we watch for
Second-floor windows on O'Fallon two-stories often limit where the porch roof can attach. We measure sill heights at the first visit, because that usually decides between gable and shed.
O'Fallon properties tend to be established subdivision lots with fenced rear yards, 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 O'Fallon
In O'Fallon, a screened porch is reviewed by the City of O'Fallon building division. What follows is footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.
Since this work shows from outside, also plan on neighborhood HOAs and, in WingHaven, a master association. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.
Schedule and getting to you
On site, a screened porch in O'Fallon generally runs three to six weeks.
From our Wentzville base, O'Fallon is fifteen minutes or so east on I-70 or I-64. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.
What moves the price in O'Fallon
We price screened porches in O'Fallon 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.
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 O'Fallon page.
Screened Porches in O'Fallon: common questions
How long does a screened porch take in O'Fallon?
Three to six weeks of construction. In O'Fallon, permit review by the City of O'Fallon building division 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 O'Fallon?
Possibly. In O'Fallon you may be dealing with neighborhood HOAs and, in WingHaven, a master association. 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.
