Screened porches in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia
We build screened porches across Fairfax County—new structures or porches framed over an existing deck once the footings and ledger are checked to carry a roof. Finished LumenHomes porch work includes projects in Centreville and Fairfax, each labeled with the town where it was built. We also design porches for Fairfax Station, McLean and Vienna, often paired with a deck beside the screened room for open sun.
A screened porch is an outdoor room with screens, a roof tied into the house, and usually fans and lighting. A sunroom is a separate option: enclosed with windows or glass for more months of use. For a finished sunroom example, see our Fairfax Station work on the Fairfax Station page—that sunroom is in Fairfax Station, not Centreville or Fairfax proper. Schedule a consultation to walk your backyard and compare porch, deck and sunroom layouts.
More screened porch questions
What does Fairfax County require to permit a screened porch?
A roofed porch needs a Fairfax County building permit, and electrical work for fans, lights or outlets needs inspection. We prepare the drawings, file through the county PLUS portal, schedule inspections and attend them. Before design is final we also check setbacks, HOA exterior rules and any Resource Protection Area limits that can change where the porch can sit.
Do you build screened porches in Centreville, Fairfax and nearby towns?
Yes. We have finished screened porch work in Centreville and Fairfax, and we also build porches in Fairfax Station, McLean, Vienna and across Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Fauquier Counties and the Cities of Alexandria and Falls Church. Many Centreville and Fairfax projects start by checking whether an existing deck can carry a roof, then framing a gable or shed porch tied into the house.
Should I build a screened porch or a sunroom?
A screened porch is open to the air behind screens—shade, ceiling fans and bug-free evenings from spring to fall. A sunroom encloses the space with windows or glass for more months of use. We build both. Our Centreville and Fairfax porch photos on this page are screened porches; for a finished sunroom with a wall of windows, see our work labeled Fairfax Station on the Fairfax Station page.
