What Killearn Lakes Plantation homes are dealing with

Killearn Lakes Plantation sits in the northeast block of the county, and most of the housing stock here dates from the 1980s and 1990s subdivision push, with newer infill and additions mixed in closer to the Thomasville Road side. Roof pitches tend to be moderate hip and gable combinations over dimensional shingle, and a lot of the original patio covers were built as simple open shed roofs off the back of the house, which means the screen frame we install often has to tie into an existing roof edge rather than stand as its own structure.

The tree canopy is the bigger factor day to day. Pine straw and oak leaves collect in screen mesh the same way they collect in a gutter, and on a porch roof with any low pitch that debris sits and holds moisture against the screen frame and the fascia board behind it. Grade around a lot of these homes slopes toward the back yard, so a porch slab that was poured level twenty or thirty years ago can now hold water at one corner after a hard summer storm, which is worth checking before new screen goes up over old aluminum. If your section of Killearn Lakes Plantation falls under an HOA with exterior modification review, we can build to spec and provide documentation for that approval, but confirm your own HOA’s screen porch requirements before work starts.
