Custom Porches for Every Style

A covered porch gives you shade, rain protection, and a covered transition between the house and the yard. It can also serve as the foundation for screening in the future if you decide to take the project further.

  • Classic front porches that can include traditional railings, wood or composite finishes, and a porch swing if you want one.
  • Wraparound porches that extend your home’s footprint and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas.
  • Back-covered porches are designed as private retreats, with options such as custom rooflines, weather-resistant flooring, and ceiling fans.
  • Custom rooflines sized to match your home so the porch looks like part of the house, not added on.
  • Material choices at multiple price points, so you’re not pushed into upgrades you don’t need.
  • Rustic or modern design options, depending on the aesthetic you want for your home.

Screened Porches

A screened porch keeps mosquitoes, flies, and other insects out while you stay connected to the yard. Modern screens and sturdy frames blend seamlessly, offering a protected outdoor space that’s comfortable from spring through fall in Wisconsin.

  • New screened porch additions built as part of a larger project, with framing, roof, and screen walls planned together.
  • Screened enclosures over existing decks, when the deck framing and footings can carry the added load. We’ll inspect first and tell you straight whether yours can.
  • Durable screens and sturdy frames that provide a bug-free environment while letting you enjoy fresh air and the surrounding views.
  • Knee walls and trim that match the existing house, so the porch looks finished from the outside.
  • Ceiling fans, lights, and outlets are planned during the framing stage.
  • Roof and ceiling finishes designed to match the rest of your home.

Screen Room and EZE Breeze Porch Installation

EZE Breeze is a vinyl panel system that turns a screened porch into a three-season space. The panels slide or can be removed to adjust for the season, giving you the benefits of a screened porch with added weather protection. Deck Dogs can build a custom screen room or use the EXE Breeze system, which features:

  • Vinyl panels that slide or remove to adjust for the season.
  • Frame and panel configurations customized to your porch and your preferences.
  • Retrofit installations that add EZE Breeze panels to a screened porch you already own.
  • New-build integration, where we frame the porch with EZE Breeze in mind from the start.
  • Storm and seasonal protection that helps shield you from insects, rain, and harsh sun while keeping you close to nature.
  • Year-round visibility through the clear panels, so the porch still feels like an outdoor room when the panels are closed.

3- and 4-Season Rooms for Extended Comfort

A 3-season room is designed for spring, summer, and fall, with durable screens and large windows that keep you connected to the outdoors while protected from bugs and rain. A 4-season room is designed for year-round use, with insulation, energy-efficient windows, and heating options that keep you comfortable even in Wisconsin’s harsh winters.

  • 3-season rooms with large windows, finished interior walls, and a roof tied into your existing structure.
  • 4-season rooms built with insulation, energy-efficient windows, and heating options for year-round use.
  • Custom designs with options like skylights, built-in storage, or entertainment systems to match your preferences.
  • Roof tie-ins that connect cleanly to your existing roofline so the addition reads as part of the original house.
  • Permits and approvals are submitted to the city, town, or county on your behalf.
  • Added home value, since season rooms expand your living space and enhance your home’s overall appeal.

Screened Porches FAQs

Screened-in porch cost varies based on size, foundation work, roof design, screen type, and finish choices, so there’s no single number that fits every project. We give you a written proposal with the specs and pricing laid out before any work starts, and we’ll always recommend getting at least two other bids to ensure you do your due diligence as a homeowner.
Sometimes, depending on how the deck was built. A roof and screened walls put more weight on the framing and footings than the deck originally carried, so we inspect the existing structure first. If it can handle the added load, we can build off it. If it can’t, we’ll tell you honestly and recommend the right path forward rather than building on something that won’t hold up.
Yes, screened porches require a building permit in most Wisconsin municipalities because they involve structural framing, roofing, and often electrical work. We submit the permit application to the city, town, or county for approval as part of the project.
A 3-season room is designed for spring, summer, and fall, with windows and a roof but no insulation or heating. A 4-season room is built for year-round use, with insulation, energy-efficient windows, and a heat source so you can use it even during a Wisconsin winter. A 4-season room costs more to build and to operate, so we’ll walk through whether you need one or whether a 3-season room or EZE Breeze porch fits your situation better.
