No-see-um mesh weave vs. standard 18×14
The Right Screen Makes the Difference in Belhaven
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.
- Standard 18×14 screen
- No-see-um 20×20 mesh
- Spline or track-style system
What a Screened Porch Solves for Belhaven Homes
A screened porch earns its place fast. It gives you:
Bug-free space to relax, eat, and host, even at dusk
Shade and cover from sun and afternoon rain
More usable living space without a full room addition
Better airflow than a closed room, with the breeze off the water
A deck or patio you finally use instead of avoid
Added comfort and street appeal for your home

Prado’s Home Improvement built a deck for us in Chocowinity, NC a few months ago and we are very happy with how it turned out. Johan was easy to work with, stayed within our budget, and got the project started quickly. Him and his crew were always professional and showed up when they said they would. The deck looks great and has held up well. We appreciate all their hard work and will definitely be calling them again for future projects.Posted on Google![]()

Prado’s Home Improvement recently redid our screen porch in Washington, NC and we love how it turned out. They installed a new screen system that really updated the look of the porch. The crew showed up when they said they would, the price was fair, and the job was finished on time. They cleaned everything up when they were done and even helped put our outdoor furniture back. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

What is a screened porch?
It is a roofed, open-air room enclosed with screen panels. You get shade, airflow, and bug protection, without the glass and sealed walls of a sunroom.
Can you screen in my existing deck or porch?
Yes. If the structure is sound, we can add screen, and a roof if needed, to enclose a deck or open porch instead of building new.
What screen should I use near the water in Belhaven?
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.
How long does a screen porch project take?
It depends on the size and whether we build new or screen an existing structure. We give a clearer timeline after seeing the space and finalizing the plan.
How much does a screened porch cost?
Cost depends on size, whether it is new or an enclosure, and the roof, screen, and door. We give a free estimate after seeing your home.
Do you repair or re-screen existing porches?
Yes. We replace torn or sagging screens, fix frames and spline, and re-screen porches that have worn out.
