Creative Design Ideas

East Coast Premier Construction’s Porch Quality

Lumber & Materials

Pressure-treated pine framing designed for Eastern NC humidity. Roof tie-ins and trims are matched to your home for a clean, watertight look. Screening systems sized for local “no-see-um” pressure when requested. 

Specifications

Built to meet or exceed local code for wind and roof loads:

  • 6×6 posts (typical), properly set footings 
  • Code-correct ledger or freestanding design as site dictates 
  • Hurricane ties, hangers, and structural fasteners where required 
  • Sheathing, underlayment, and roofing to match your home (as specified)

Built On-Site

Custom-framed to your house and slab/deck—no kits. Tight lines, proper slopes, and careful roof flashing to prevent leaks.

Options & Upgrades

  • Screen Choices: Standard fiberglass, pet-resistant, or no-see-um mesh 
  • Wall Details: Open rail, knee walls, or privacy panels 
  • Ceilings: Exposed rafter look or tongue-and-groove finish 
  • Flooring: Pressure-treated decking or composite upgrade 
  • Trim: PVC or wood trim for low-maintenance edges 
  • Doors: Heavy-duty screen doors with closer & kick-plate

Attention to Detail

Straight framing, smooth thresholds, square openings, and tight flashing. We keep the jobsite clean and leave you with a porch that looks integrated—not tacked on. 

Why It Matters

Porches take wind, rain, and summer heat. Our approach—strong structure, smart details, and materials that fit Eastern NC—means your porch feels solid on day one and stays that way.

Screened porches block insects and add comfort; covered porches maximize shade/rain protection with open sides for airflow. 


With quality framing and proper roofing, the structure is a long-term addition. Screens are a wear item and may be replaced over time based on use.
