Porches · Alpharetta, GA
A porch in Alpharetta
Want evenings in Alpharetta without the bugs?
Some porches start from an existing deck and others from bare ground or a slab. Breno checks which you have, explains what the structure can carry, and prices the porch around it. The estimate is free and in writing.
An Alpharetta porch is often an extension of the main living space, so the roofline, ceiling height and finishes are planned to match the house.
Alpharetta combines a busy GA-400 business corridor with established neighborhoods such as Windward and Broadlands. Housing includes single-family homes, townhomes and newer construction, and many of the single-family decks have been in place for years.
For some owners in the Windward and Broadlands area, the deck gets abandoned each summer once insects arrive. Adding a roof and screens brings it back into use.

Price & estimate
What a porch costs in Alpharetta
The price of a porch in Alpharetta depends on four things: the structure underneath, the roofline, the screening and the finishes. A simple gable-roof porch on a sound deck is one job, and a porch with a vaulted ceiling, fan wiring and composite flooring is another. We price yours after a visit.
What is included
What a porch project covers
- Flooring in wood or composite decking, matched to your plan
- Screening panels and a screen door sized for the opening
- A roofline planned to look right from the street
- Checking whether an existing deck or slab can support a roof
Signs to look for
Is a porch right for you?
A screened porch is a good fit if any of these sound like your back yard.
- You have a deck or patio you avoid from late spring through summer
- You are replacing an old deck and would rather rebuild it as a porch
- Your deck is in direct sun and you would like shade overhead
- Pets or kids need a safe, enclosed outdoor spot
Fulton County · terrain & local rules
Local conditions in Alpharetta
Alpharetta is a mix of established suburban subdivisions, master-planned communities and some larger-lot neighborhoods, with tree-lined yards and moderate slopes rather than steep ground.
Alpharetta's ordinances address stream buffers, which generally have to stay undisturbed, and tree-related review can come into play near specimen trees. We check those constraints while we plan the porch.
In Alpharetta, a new deck usually has to look right with a finished house and landscaping, so rail style, board color and stair placement matter as much as size.
Areas you may know in Alpharetta include Windward, Broadlands and downtown Alpharetta. Main routes through the area include GA-400, Old Milton Parkway and Webb Bridge Road.
Alpharetta · official sources
Permits, climate & HOA in Alpharetta
Facts below come from the official sources linked on each line. Rules change, so confirm with the city for your address before work starts.
- Permit. The City of Alpharetta requires site and building plans to be submitted electronically through its Permitting Portal. Its 2026 Residential Permitting Procedures list the 2024 International Residential Code with Georgia amendments as the building code for residential work. Source: City of Alpharetta: Residential Permitting Procedures (2026).
- Climate design criteria. The same city document lists design criteria for residential buildings and ancillary structures: frost line depth 5 inches (12-inch minimum footing depth), ground snow load 5 psf, wind speed 90 mph (3-second gust), termite damage rated very heavy and decay damage rated severe. A porch frame and footings have to be built to those numbers. Source: City of Alpharetta, climatic design criteria.
- Soil & climate. UGA Extension describes the red clay common across Georgia's Piedmont as soil that holds water through rainy winters, and puts typical rainfall at more than 50 inches a year. For a porch that means footings sized for clay and framing kept off wet ground. Source: UGA CAES: Georgia Gardening 101.
- HOA. Many Alpharetta communities have an HOA with its own architectural review. That is separate from the city permit, so check your covenants before the design is final.
Materials & options
Roof, screens and floor: composite or wood?
Three decisions shape a screened porch: the roof style, the screens and the floor. A roof that matches the house looks best, and the rafters need to be built for local loads. Screen material can be standard or pet-resistant, and the floor can be wood or low-maintenance composite. We go through each in the estimate, so you can see how the choices change the price.

Straight answers · Alpharetta, GA
What goes into a screened porch in Alpharetta?
Short answer: Start by sending us a photo. Text the area to +1 470 863 3707 and you hear back the same day. For an Alpharetta screened porch, we then examine the existing deck or slab, work out the roof tie-in, talk through screens and finishes, and end with a free estimate.
What code and criteria apply to a screened porch in Alpharetta?
Alpharetta lists the 2024 International Residential Code with Georgia amendments and its own climatic design criteria, including a 12-inch minimum footing depth and a 90 mph design wind speed. Plans go through the city's Permitting Portal. Confirm details for your address with the city.
How much does a screened porch cost in Alpharetta?
Think of the price as built from your choices: floor, roof, screen material, door style and how much of the structure already exists. We quote the real project instead of a ballpark, and that estimate costs you nothing.
I am searching for porch screening near me in Alpharetta. Does B&T build in my area?
For a porch we look at the deck or slab and the house wall first, and that check happens on site. Yes, Alpharetta is part of our regular service area, together with Milton, Woodstock and Kennesaw. Start with a text that has your address and a photo, and Breno replies the same day.
Who handles permits for a screened porch in Alpharetta?
Adding screened walls and a roof changes the structure, which is why we check the requirements before anything is drawn. The City of Alpharetta handles building permits through its permitting portal. We tell you what your address needs up front. Tell us the street address and we take it from there.
What floor is better for a screened porch in Alpharetta, composite or wood?
A porch floor is shaded and sheltered, which helps either material last. Wood keeps the starting price down. Composite saves you the staining and sealing later. Many Alpharetta homeowners ask for a price on each before they decide.
How long does it take to build a screened porch in Alpharetta?
Plan on more time than a deck would take. A porch involves framing, a roof, screens and doors that all have to come together. Once we have visited, your estimate shows the timeline we expect and the things that could change it.
Is a B&T screened porch under warranty?
Yes, for our work. B&T Properties warrants its workmanship for one year from completion and fixes failures caused by our work at no charge. Screens, lumber and composite carry the maker's own warranty, and those terms differ from one product to another, so ask for the details while you are getting your estimate.
Does my Alpharetta HOA need to approve a screened porch?
A roof and screened walls change how the back of the house looks, which is the kind of thing review boards pay attention to. Many Alpharetta communities have HOAs with architectural review for outdoor structures. Tell us your neighborhood at the start and we will plan the approval timeline with you. We build any approval step into the schedule before work begins.
Do I need a permit for a screened porch?
Usually yes, because a roof is a structural addition. The requirements depend on your address and the scope, and we tell you what is needed before work is scheduled.
What kind of screening can I choose?
Choices run from basic fiberglass screen to a sturdier pet-resistant type. We help you weigh them against your budget and how the porch will be used, and the estimate reflects what you pick.
How does the terrain in Alpharetta affect a screened porch?
A porch roof and screened walls react to slope and sun, so the lot comes first. Alpharetta is a mix of established suburban subdivisions, master-planned communities and some larger-lot neighborhoods, with tree-lined yards and moderate slopes rather than steep ground. We would rather measure the slope than assume it.
Can you add a screened porch to my home in Alpharetta?
Yes. We build porches for Alpharetta homes, either new or by enclosing an existing deck whose framing is sound enough to carry the roof and screens. You get a free written estimate and a one-year warranty on our workmanship. Text or call (470) 863-3707.
Which neighborhoods in Alpharetta do you serve for porch work?
Our porch work covers Alpharetta: Windward, Broadlands and downtown Alpharetta, and the surrounding Fulton County neighborhoods. Send us your address by text and we will tell you right away if it is in our area.
