Screened Porches in St. Peters, Missouri

St. Peters homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a screened porch in St. Peters 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 ranches, split-foyers and two-stories from the 1970s to 1990s were put together.

The housing stock here: 1970s to 1990s ranches, split-foyers and two-stories, with brick fronts and siding on the other three sides.

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

Lots, exteriors and approvals in St. Peters

Mature trees mean shaded decks that stay damp and grow mildew, so composite does well here. Wood siding and trim on older homes need rot repair before painting. Patio covers and screened porches fit the deep rear yards.

Builder decks in St. Peters 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 St. Peters 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. Peters, from Ohmes Farm to the Mid Rivers area and Spencer Creek neighborhoods.

What we watch for

Second-floor windows on St. Peters 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.

Working on mature, tree-shaded lots, as we do in St. Peters, we plan access for framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in St. Peters

For a screened porch at a St. Peters address, the paperwork goes to the City of St. Peters. Expect footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on older subdivision indentures that are still in force. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

Plan on three to six weeks of site work for a screened porch in St. Peters, once permits and materials are in hand.

St. Peters is a little over twenty minutes east on I-70 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 St. Peters

We price screened porches in St. Peters 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.
