Screened Porches in St. Paul, Missouri

St. Paul homes and this kind of project

Because St. Paul is made up of an older village core and newer acreage and subdivision homes, 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: a small older village core with newer subdivision and acreage homes around it.

By a pond or woods, a screened room is the only way to enjoy summer evenings.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in St. Paul

Decks, covered patios and detached garages are common requests on the larger lots.

Open land around St. Paul means wind. Roofed structures need engineered hold-downs and bracing, and tall decks need diagonal bracing that suburban decks sometimes skip. The views usually justify the effort.

What is included

Our St. Paul 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 St. Paul, from subdivisions off Highway 79 to the village center.

What we watch for

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

Working on larger lots north of the O'Fallon growth line, as we do in St. Paul, we plan access for framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in St. Paul

In St. Paul, a screened porch is reviewed by the City of St. Paul or St. Charles County. What follows is footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.

Exterior work in St. Paul can also involve subdivision covenants where they exist, and we put that package together for you.

Schedule and getting to you

Most St. Paul clients see three to six weeks of construction for a screened porch.

From our Wentzville base, St. Paul is a bit over fifteen minutes toward Highway 79. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.

What moves the price in St. Paul

We price screened porches in St. Paul 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.
