Mosquitoes and no-see-ums off the water, harsh summer sun, and afternoon rain can keep you off your own deck or patio. A screened porch fixes that. Prado’s Home Improvement handles screen porch installation Belhaven NC homeowners rely on, building new screened porches and screening in existing decks and porches so you get shade, airflow, and bug protection in one space. From design to the final screen panel, we plan it around your home and how you want to use it. Start with a free estimate.
A screened porch is an open-air room wrapped in screen, not a glass sunroom, so you keep the breeze while the bugs stay out. Here is what we build and maintain.
Here is what most porch pages leave out. Belhaven sits on the water in a low, marshy part of the coast, which is prime territory for no-see-ums, also called sand gnats or biting midges. These insects are small enough to pass straight through standard porch screen, which usually has an 18 by 14 weave. A finer no-see-um mesh, woven at 20 by 20 or tighter, blocks them while still letting the breeze through, at a small cost in airflow. For waterfront and marsh-side homes, that finer mesh is often worth it. We talk through mesh options, along with a durable spline or track-style screen system, so your porch actually keeps the bugs out on a summer evening.
A screened porch earns its place fast. It gives you:
Here is how a screen porch project runs, first visit to final walkthrough.
We look at your home, deck, or yard and plan the size, layout, and roof style.

Standard porch screen lets no-see-ums through. Near the water, a finer no-see-um mesh, woven 20 by 20 or tighter, keeps the tiny biting midges out while still letting air through.
