At Wieland Builders, outdoor living is more than an afterthought—it’s a core part of how we design custom homes. From quiet morning coffee to lively evening gatherings, our screened-in covered porches bring comfort and style to the outdoors, making your space usable and enjoyable all year long.

Screened-In Porches

Not all screened porches are created equal. At Wieland Builders, we offer a variety of screened-in porch options tailored to each homeowner’s needs. Most of our homes feature beautifully integrated permanent screens, providing long-lasting protection from insects and the elements while maintaining open views and airflow.

For homeowners looking for added flexibility, some of our custom homes feature cutting-edge screen technology such as Phantom Screens or automatic retractable screens. With the touch of a button, these screens disappear to create a traditional open-air covered porch—or drop down to transform the space into a fully enclosed oasis. These smart solutions extend the usability of your porch well beyond the summer months, allowing for year-round comfort and control.

Outdoor Living Reimagined

Our screened porches are often designed as true extensions of the home, complete with features like a fireplace, cozy living areas, and custom wood ceilings. These spaces blend seamlessly with the great room, often featuring cathedral ceilings, scissor trusses, and wide sliding doors that allow light and flow between the indoors and out.

In multi-level homes with scenic views, screened porches are strategically positioned to take full advantage of the natural surroundings—whether it’s a wooded lot, a peaceful lake, or a backyard retreat.

Sun Patios, Pools & Functional Flow

Many of our homes feature a connected sun patio or open-air porch, offering both shaded relaxation and full sun exposure—all just steps from the main living space. This smooth transition between covered and open areas gives homeowners options for how they enjoy their outdoor spaces throughout the day.

When paired with a swimming pool, these layouts create a resort-like experience, with multiple access points from the great room, dining room, or primary suite. The result is a layout that invites movement, connection, and easy entertaining.

 

Grilling Stations & Outdoor Kitchens

 To complete the experience, many of our homes include grilling stations or full outdoor kitchens just off the screened porch. Whether it’s a built-in gas grill, a smoker, or an entire chef’s setup under a pergola, these spaces are designed to keep you cooking and connecting outdoors—without missing a moment of the fun.

Outdoor Fireplaces: Bringing the Indoors Out

Nothing defines year-round outdoor living like an outdoor fireplace on a screened or covered porch. Wieland Builders incorporates custom stone fireplaces that create a beautiful focal point and bring warmth and atmosphere to your space. These fireplaces often feature stone or brick surrounds, classic or modern mantels, and even hearths for added character.

Positioned for gathering, these spaces typically include a built-in seating area or enough room for sectional furniture, creating the perfect outdoor living room. Add an outdoor-rated TV above the mantel, and you’ve got a space ideal for cozy movie nights, Sunday football, or simply enjoying the fire with family and friends.

The result is an inviting, functional area that truly extends your home’s living space—whether you’re inside or out. And because the fireplace provides warmth and ambiance, this space remains usable even during cooler months, making it one of the most loved features by our homeowners.

Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful retreat or an entertainer’s paradise, including a screened-in covered porch in your custom home by Wieland Builders brings the outdoors in—with beauty, comfort, and versatility designed around your lifestyle.
