Converting the Deck You Have or Starting Fresh
Many Medlock Bridge homes already have a deck off the kitchen or family room, and turning that deck into a screened porch is a common request. The catch is that a roof adds real weight, and a deck built only for foot traffic may not have the posts, beams or footings to carry it. We check the existing structure first and tell you whether it can be reinforced or whether new framing makes more sense.
Building new gives you more freedom with size, shape and ceiling height, and it lets every part of the structure be designed for the roof from the start. Either path can work well. The right one depends on the condition of your deck, where the porch needs to sit and how you want the space to feel.

Making the Roof Look Like It Belongs
A screened porch is only as good as the way its roof meets the house. A roof line that matches the pitch and materials of the existing home makes the porch look original instead of added on. That means working out how the new roof ties into the old one, where water will run and how gutters will carry it away from the porch and the foundation.
Many homes in Johns Creek have outdoor spaces that were planned as part of the house, and a porch should continue that. We look at your eaves, trim, siding and windows so the finished porch has the same character as the rest of the house.

Screens, Doors and Keeping Bugs Out
Not all screen is the same. Standard fiberglass screen is common and easy to replace. Finer mesh does a better job against tiny biting gnats. Heavier pet-resistant screen holds up better if dogs or cats will share the porch. We help you choose based on how you will use the space and how much you want to see through it.
Doors and the bottom edge of the screen walls matter as much as the mesh. A screen door that closes firmly, a solid kick plate along the base and tight trim at every seam keep bugs from finding a way in. Those details are where a porch either works for years or starts letting pests in after one season.
Johns Creek
Floor, Ceiling and Comfort Details
Inside the porch, the floor and ceiling set the mood. Decking boards keep a casual, outdoor feel, while a tongue-and-groove ceiling or beadboard gives the space a finished, room-like look. A ceiling fan helps move air on humid evenings, and lighting turns the porch into a place you will use after dark.
If you want wiring for a fan, lights or outlets, we plan the framing and paths for it during the build so the electrical work can be done cleanly. Planning that early saves you from opening up a finished ceiling later.

Stream Buffers, Design Review and Permits
Johns Creek has stream buffer rules with an undisturbed buffer plus an additional setback where impervious surface is prohibited, along with controls on tree removal. A covered porch can count differently from an open deck, so on a lot near a creek we check early what is allowed and where.
Johns Creek is known for country-club communities such as Medlock Bridge, St. Ives Country Club and Country Club of the South. Many of the larger subdivisions are HOA-managed, and several have design review for exterior changes, so send us your guidelines early so approvals do not delay the project. Deck and porch permits are handled by the city's Community Development building and permitting division, and we tell you what your address needs before work is scheduled.

How Your Porch Project Starts
Breno comes to your home in person, looks at the deck or the spot where the porch would go, and talks through layout, roof style, screens and finishes with you. After the visit, you receive a free written estimate that lists the structure, roof, screens, floor and ceiling so you can see what is included.
When the porch is finished, we stand behind our finished work for a full year. We build screened porches for homes along Medlock Bridge Road and State Bridge Road in Fulton County, and in nearby Alpharetta, Milton and Cumming.
Straight answers
Johns Creek homeowner questions
Can my existing deck in Medlock Bridge carry a screened porch roof?
Sometimes. A roof adds weight that many decks were not built for. We inspect the posts, beams and footings and tell you whether reinforcing the deck or building new framing makes more sense.
Which screen mesh keeps out the small gnats common near wooded Johns Creek lots?
Finer mesh screens block smaller insects better than standard screen. We explain the tradeoff in visibility and airflow so you can choose what fits your porch.
Should a Medlock Bridge porch shared with dogs use pet-resistant screen?
If dogs or cats will use the porch, heavier pet-resistant screen holds up much better to claws and paws. Many homeowners use it on the lower panels where pets reach.
How do you match a new porch roof to the rest of the house?
We look at the pitch, roofing, eaves and trim of your home and design the porch roof to tie in cleanly, with gutters that carry water away from the porch and foundation.
Can a ceiling fan and lights be planned into a Johns Creek screened porch?
Yes. We plan framing and wiring paths during the build so a fan, lights and outlets can be added cleanly. The electrical work itself is done by a qualified electrician.
Does a stream buffer behind my Johns Creek home affect a screened porch?
It can. A roofed porch may be treated differently from an open deck near a creek. We check buffer and setback rules for your parcel early in the design.
Will a country-club design committee need to review my porch plans?
Many Johns Creek communities with design review do look at new porches. Send us the guidelines early and we will help prepare drawings and material details.
Which floor surface suits a screened porch converted from an old deck?
Decking boards are common and keep an outdoor feel. Some homeowners choose a composite surface for easier cleaning. We talk through options that suit how the porch will be used.
