A great location for your screened porch is right off the main living area.  This allows easy access from the kitchen and family room, and gives you the ability to open the doors for spring breezes.

For additional bright living spaces, furnish a four season porch with light, airy colors and create conversational furniture arrangements to encourage connections between your family and guests.

Part of relaxing also includes watching your favorite movie while taking in the natural breezes this screened porch has to offer.  The mix of media, and a see-through fireplace gives everyone something to watch while taking it easy.

What Our Clients Say

When we purchased our row house from City Homes last spring, we knew nothing about this company. We had toured the house and were debating whether this was the right fit for us. After meeting with Rebecca, we were so impressed with her and her vision and that pretty much sealed the deal. Soon after, the process of making decisions/selections began and we were on our way. We began working with a team of primarily three...Logan, Annie and Kirk. We were pleasantly surprised to learn we would be meeting weekly with them. It is an understatement to say that this entire process has been incredible. Logan, Annie and Kirk are professional, smart, talented, kind and ultimately qualified to do their jobs. They make every effort to accommodate whatever changes we wish to make. They show up on time and always prepared. We receive a summary each week of the status of our project that is thorough and easy to understand. We will, of course, be happy when the project is completed, and we get to move into this beautiful new home, but will miss our interaction and weekly meetings with them. They are among the "best" in their industry and we consider them friends.
