Discover the ideal outdoor room with a custom porch from Kirchner Customs. We design and install covered and screened porches in Atlanta, GA, that precisely integrate with your home’s architecture.

Why Choose a Covered or Screened Porch?

A custom porch offers a valuable extension of your home, providing protected space for relaxation and enjoyment. A covered porch provides reliable shelter from sun and rain, while a screened porch creates an insect-free outdoor destination. Kirchner Customs designs structures that are purposeful and aesthetically pleasing.

Advantages of a Porch Structure

  • Protection from the Elements: A sturdy roof provides shade from the intense sun and shelter from rain, extending the time you can spend outside. We engineer these structures to withstand regional weather conditions.
  • Defined Outdoor Room: The enclosed structure establishes a clear area for dining, relaxation, or entertaining, functioning as a dedicated extension of your home.
  • Insect Protection: Screening keeps mosquitoes and other pests out, making evening enjoyment and daytime use completely comfortable in the Atlanta area.
  • Increased Property Value: A well-constructed, permanent addition, such as a custom porch, is a desirable feature that positively impacts home resale value.

Porch Ideas for Your Space

  • Covered Porches: These structures feature a solid roof and open sides. They are best when maximum airflow is desired, offering reliable shelter from the weather while maintaining an expansive outdoor feeling.
  • Screened Porches: These include a solid roof and framed walls with durable screening. They create a true outdoor room that keeps insects out, allowing for reliable enjoyment.
  • Custom Sunrooms: For maximum light and year-round usability, we construct enclosed porches that feature large, clear windows rather than screening.
