Screened Porches in Town and Country, Missouri

Town and Country homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a screened porch in Town and Country 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 estate homes ranging from mid-century ranches to new custom builds were put together.

The housing stock here: estate homes from mid-century ranches to new custom construction on lots of an acre or more.

Retractable screens, stone fireplaces and heated ceilings turn these into three-season rooms.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Town and Country

Pavilions, pool houses, screened porches and additions. Tree protection and stormwater rules are strict, and we plan site access with them in mind.

Outdoor living in Town and Country means structures with presence: timber pavilions, stone fireplaces, screened rooms with retractable panels and multi-level terraces on sloping lots. Architectural review is usually demanding, and we prepare complete submittals.

What is included

For walkout homes in Town and Country 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 in and around estates along Mason, Clayton and Conway roads.

What we watch for

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

Working on acre-plus lots with protected trees, as we do in Town and Country, we plan access for framers, a roofer, an electrician and finish carpenters before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Town and Country

For a screened porch at a Town and Country address, the paperwork goes to the City of Town and Country, with permits coordinated through St. Louis County. Expect footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on the city's architectural review and strict site rules. 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 Town and Country, once permits and materials are in hand.

Town and Country is straight down I-64 to the I-270 area, 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 Town and Country

We price screened porches in Town and Country 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.

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 Town and Country page.
