A Design/Build Addition in Mount Pleasant

With summer just around the corner, a Mount Pleasant woman decided it was time to convert her back deck to a screened in porch. She turned to Citadel Enterprises to give her a space where she can enjoy sitting outside without the bugs and gnats.

The woman wants to replace this outdoor living space with a screened in porch.

Due to structural issues, the front porch needs to be removed and replaced with a new one.

The owner of this home first met with Alice Nixon Burress, the Director of CEInc.’s Design Division. She listened to the homeowner's needs and created a design that would give her exactly what she wanted for the space.



Ms. Burress' design included:
• Converting the existing deck to become screened porch
• Adding additional skylights in porch situated to maximize interior light
• Deleting the chimney to give homeowner more usable space and more openness to porch

Now that the design process is complete, the professional crew at Citadel Enterprises takes over for the construction part of the project. They plan to:
• Remove the old deck and chimney
• Engineer and build a new foundation
• Replace three doors leading to the porch
• Replace old skylights with new skylites that have adjustable louver blinds
• Replace entire roof with heavier grade
• Paint entire exterior with new color scheme
• Tear down old porch due to structural issue and build new porch

Over the next few months, we will document this project from start to finish, here, on our blog. A room addition can be a complex project, but Citadel Enterprises works diligently to make the process as stress-free as possible to the homeowners.
