Columbia Screened In Porch
Custom Screened Porch Addition in Columbia, Maryland
Project Overview
The homeowners in Columbia, Maryland wanted to transform their backyard into a comfortable outdoor living space they could enjoy throughout the year. While they loved spending time outdoors, the existing patio lacked protection from insects, harsh sun, and changing weather conditions. Their goal was to create a sophisticated screened porch that would feel like an extension of their home while preserving views of the surrounding landscape.
The Final Cut designed and built a custom screened porch featuring premium materials, modern architectural details, and a low-maintenance design that seamlessly blends with the home’s exterior.
The Challenge
The homeowners wanted a space that could serve multiple purposes:
- Create a comfortable outdoor gathering space
- Keep insects and pests out during warmer months
- Maximize natural light and backyard views
- Provide protection from rain and changing weather
- Incorporate premium finishes that matched the home’s style
- Ensure durability with minimal maintenance requirements
The challenge was designing a screened porch that felt open and inviting while maintaining the functionality and protection the homeowners desired.
Our Solution
The Final Cut constructed a fully customized screened porch designed around both aesthetics and performance.
The structure features Deckorators Dark Slate wrapped posts and beams, creating a bold architectural frame that contrasts beautifully with the home’s exterior. Large screened wall sections maximize visibility while allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the space.
To create warmth and visual interest overhead, we installed a clear pine tongue-and-groove ceiling stained in Acorn Brown. The rich wood tones add character and create a welcoming atmosphere that elevates the entire space.
The project also includes a TimberTech Mocha stair balcony, providing a durable and attractive transition between the home and screened porch. TimberTech’s composite decking offers long-lasting beauty without the maintenance concerns associated with traditional wood.
For screening, we utilized a premium screen system that delivers unobstructed views while providing reliable protection from insects and debris.
