Porches and screen rooms

Porches and screened porches
in Wilmington, NC.

SJB Contracting builds screened porches, front porches and back porches in Wilmington and coastal NC. We can often screen in the porch you already have, once Jay checks its structure, roof and floor. On a sagging porch we replace the beam or columns that failed, and it comes back square and solid. New porches and structural repairs usually need a permit, and we pull it where the code requires it. Lights and fans go in the same written price.

What we build

Half of a coastal home is outside.

A porch takes the sun, the salt and the storms. We build new porches and screen rooms, screen in the porch you have, and rebuild the ones that have started to sag, with the roof, ceiling, lighting and fans in the same written price.

How it works

From the first walk
to the last photo.

01

Jay walks it with you

Jay comes out, looks at the house with you and talks through what you want and what it will take.

02

One written price

You get one written price and a schedule before any work starts. If we find hidden damage, you see photos and a written price before anything extra is done.

03

We run every trade

Our crews and licensed trade partners, hired, scheduled and checked by us. Permits pulled where the code requires them.

04

Photos the whole way

Before, during and after photos, sent to you even when you are away, and a final walk-through when the work is done.

Straight answers.

What homeowners ask Jay before a porch project.

Can you screen in the porch I already have?

Often, yes. Jay checks the structure, roof and floor first, then gives you one written price.

My porch is sagging. Can you fix it?

Yes. We support it, replace the beam or columns that have failed, and rebuild it square and solid.

Do I need a permit?

New porches and structural repairs usually do. We pull permits where the code requires them and schedule the inspections.

Can you add lighting and a ceiling fan?

Yes. Lighting, fans and outlets go in through our licensed electrical partners, in the same written price.

What areas do you serve?

New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties and all of Topsail Island, including Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Leland, Southport, Oak Island, Hampstead, Surf City and Topsail Beach. Our office is at 311 Judges Rd, Suite 13-E in Wilmington.
