From Open Patio to Outdoor Room: Covered Patio Screen Enclosure in Trinity, NC
A Trinity family had been dreaming about a covered patio screen enclosure for years. Specifically, they had the space; an existing covered patio off the back of the home overlooking a private in-ground pool. Still, what they needed was someone to make it usable. Fortunately, one estimate from Carolina Core Construction changed everything.
The Space Was Already There. It Just Needed Walls.
The existing covered patio had everything going for it: a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, ceiling fans already in place, and a backyard pool view that most people would envy. But without screening, the bugs won every time. So the family avoided the space more than they used it. As a result, a beautiful backyard setup sat underused season after season.
The homeowner wanted to screen it in; fully enclose it so the family could enjoy the pool area without the hassle. However, the project had felt out of reach until Carolina Core came out for a free estimate.
How Carolina Core Built the Covered Patio Screen Enclosure
First, Carolina Core Construction met with the homeowner personally, measured the existing structure, and delivered a detailed estimate within days. Once the project started, the crew got to work fast.
They framed the full screen enclosure around the existing covered patio, fitting screen panels on all sides to fully enclose the space. Next, they installed doors on each side of the enclosure for easy access in and out. Finally, they tied everything seamlessly into the existing structure; no awkward transitions, no mismatched materials, just a clean finished look that feels intentional from every angle.
The existing ceiling, flooring, and fans stayed exactly where they were. Carolina Core worked around what was already there and made it all finally worth having.
The Result
What used to be an open patio the family avoided is now their favorite room. They use it every day the weather allows; ceiling fans running, pool in view, and not a single bug in sight. Moreover, the enclosure added real value to the home without touching the existing finishes or structure.
Carolina Core Construction handled the full enclosure scope: framing, screen panels, and doors on both sides. One crew, one project, done right.
