Porch Screens

jetlag100 · 08-16-2012, 09:00 AM

Does anyone know of a carpenter in the Moultonborough, area that, would build screens for my porch! Has to be professional, and have mad skills! I'm pretty OCD when it comes to craftsmanship......

If you have the framework up then you can buy the screen channeling at Lowes and do it yourself.
I rebuilt my porch leaving only the roof, I replaced all the decking and placed all my 4X4 supports at 48inches on center which allowed for a standard width screen to be installed.
All the materials and detailed instructions can be found in the same area. It really wasn't hard at all, but if your not mechanically inclined your not.
I figure I saved myself at least a $1000.00 and it still cost me $400 for the parts.
Good luck either way

Wick's Lumber in Meredith has pre-made screen panels which are interchangeable with plexiglass for the cold times of the year. They are not cheap but they are very well made. Might work for you.

I had a screened porch built by the pros at Pemi Glass .... It's beautiful!

I have used them twice and both times service and price was very good.
You should at least talk to them and get a quote.

Winnipiseogee, I stopped into Wick's(Middleton Building Supply) today and nobody new what I was talking about. Is this the correct place. Did you talk to anybody specific? The panels seem to be a solution for me. I have a porch(part of main house) with full screens and I use a rollup shade to protect from water and I use old wooden storm windows in the winter. Its getting old now.

That would be no.I've bought maybe 150 giant windows from them for my commercial building and I still have to go through my installers account.
