Covered Porches
in Charlotte, NC
Covered Porches & Screened Porches provide different levels of protection
For outdoor living amid protection from the sun or rain consider a covered porch, with its unrestricted airflow and sun protection and all the amenities it allows, such as fans and TVs.
Screened porches create even greater comfort, eliminating insect pests while protecting you from sun and rain.
Screen types vary, some providing UV protection, others offering greater privacy. We review options like these with you up front during your complimentary consultation.

What is a covered porch?
A covered porch is an outdoor space with a solid roof and open sides. Because it has a roof, it can hold the comforts of an indoor room, such as ceiling fans, lighting and a TV, while you stay outdoors.
Covered porch or screened porch?
Both give you a roof overhead. A covered porch stays open to the breeze and the view. A screened porch adds insect screening, which keeps bugs out while still letting air through. Many homeowners start with the question of how much they want to be outside on summer evenings, when insects are worst.
Covered decks and covered patios
A roof can go over a new or existing deck, or over a ground-level patio. A covered patio can serve as a small oasis that helps you beat the Charlotte heat. Rob reviews your yard, the house and the roof line during the consultation to recommend what fits.
How a Whyte Construction project works
- Free consultation with Rob. Rob Whyte meets every customer himself to talk through needs, goals and options, and gives a free, no-obligation estimate. There is no salesman and no subcontractor sales pitch.
- Plans drawn for your home. Each build is planned with the homeowner. We draft the architectural plans, taking the existing structure of the house into account.

- Construction with daily oversight. Skilled subcontractors do the work, and Rob is on site every day overseeing the project until it is finished.
How much does a covered porch cost?
Every covered porch is custom, so the price depends on the size, the roof design and how it ties into the house, the foundation or deck below it, the flooring, and options like fans, lighting and electrical outlets. Rob gives a free, no-obligation estimate after seeing your home and talking through what you want, so the number reflects your actual project.
