Just a few miles from Blythe Island Regional Park and the salt marshes that make Glynn County one of Georgia's most beautiful corners, screen rooms in Brunswick, GA give homeowners a way to actually use their outdoor space without fighting the bugs and weather. With 183 mosquito days a year and 44 inches of annual rainfall, an open porch in Brunswick is comfortable for about three weeks out of twelve. A properly built screen enclosure changes that math entirely.

What Brunswick's Climate Actually Does to an Unprotected Porch

Brunswick sits roughly 5 miles from the Georgia coast, which means Glynn County gets the full package: high humidity, heavy summer thunderstorms, and the kind of mosquito pressure that sends people indoors by 6 p.m. The area logs approximately 183 mosquito days per year, and with 6 heavy rain days on the calendar, an open patio can go from inviting to miserable in a matter of minutes.

That coastal exposure also brings hurricane-level wind risk. Glynn County carries a high hurricane exposure rating, and wind gusts through the area have historically reached well above 40 mph. Any screen room we build here has to be framed and fastened with that in mind, not just thrown up with lightweight hardware.

Beyond insects and weather, Brunswick’s high tree canopy means fallen debris during storms is a real concern. A well-framed aluminum structure handles that far better than a flimsy screen kit from a big-box store.

• 183 mosquito days per year in Glynn County
• 44 inches of average annual rainfall
• High hurricane exposure rating for coastal southeast Georgia
• High tree canopy increases storm debris risk on patios

A screen room addition in Brunswick is not a luxury upgrade. For most families here, it is the only practical way to spend time outside from April through October.

How We Figure Out the Right Enclosure for Your Home

We start every project with a free in-home estimate, and we mean that literally. One of our employees, not a commissioned sales rep from a call center, comes to your home, looks at your existing patio or slab, and talks through what makes sense for your property and your budget. There is no pressure and no clock running.

During that visit we look at a few things that matter a lot in Brunswick specifically: how your lot drains during a heavy rain event, whether your existing slab is level and properly sized, and which direction your porch faces relative to afternoon sun. Homes in Glynn County built around 1986, which is close to the median home age in this area, often have concrete slabs that need minor prep work before framing begins.

We also talk through screen options. Our 20/20 gnat-resistant screens are the right call for most Brunswick properties. The tighter weave keeps sand gnats and no-see-ums out while still allowing airflow, which matters a great deal when summer temperatures regularly push past 89 degrees.

From that first visit, you get a written quote. No vague estimates, no surprise line items after the fact.

The Installation Process from First Day to Final Walk-Through

Once you approve the project, our crew, all Eicher’s employees and never subcontractors, handles the job from start to finish. That matters for quality control and accountability. When the same people who sell you the job are the ones swinging the hammers, they have a reason to get it right.

The framing goes in first. We use aluminum framing sized and anchored for coastal conditions, not interior Georgia specs. Brunswick’s flood zone exposure and wind history make proper anchoring a non-negotiable step, not an optional upgrade.

Screening comes next. Panels are fitted tightly into the frame and checked for gaps. Sand gnats will find a quarter-inch opening, so we do not leave quarter-inch openings. Doors are hung and tested for smooth operation and a secure latch.

• Aluminum framing anchored for coastal wind exposure
• 20/20 gnat-resistant screen panels standard on Brunswick projects
• All work performed by Eicher’s employees, not outside subcontractors
• Final walk-through with homeowner before the job is considered complete

The whole process from permit to final inspection is managed by our team. You do not have to coordinate between multiple contractors or chase down a subcontractor for a callback.

Flood Zone Realities and What They Mean for Your Screen Room

Parts of Brunswick and surrounding Glynn County fall within FEMA-designated flood zones. If your property is in or near a flood zone, that affects what permits are required and how the structure needs to be built. We are licensed and insured in Georgia, and we pull the correct permits for every job.

Flood zone properties also need enclosures that can handle standing water and moisture at the base of the frame without deteriorating quickly. Aluminum framing resists corrosion far better than wood in these conditions, which is one reason we use it consistently across our coastal Georgia work rather than switching to cheaper materials on some jobs.

If you are in Country Club Estates, near St. Simons, or anywhere else in Glynn County where the ground stays wet after a heavy rain, we factor that into the design before the first post goes in the ground. The 6 heavy rain days per year Brunswick averages do not sound like much until you watch a poorly drained patio enclosure develop mold along its base framing within two seasons.

What You End Up With: A Space the Whole Family Actually Uses

Brunswick families who have added a screen room consistently tell us the same thing: they did not realize how much outdoor time they were losing until they stopped losing it. With a properly screened enclosure, the porch becomes usable from early spring through late fall, and on mild winter days in hardiness zone 9a, even December afternoons are comfortable.

The space works for whatever your family needs. A quiet corner for reading while rain taps the roof. A dining area for casual meals without mosquito spray on the table. A spot for kids to play outside without you watching for bug bites every few minutes.

Because we have been doing this work since 1998 and we know coastal Georgia, we build enclosures that hold up. The aluminum framing does not rot. The screens do not sag after one season. The doors still latch properly three years in. That is the practical outcome that matters, and it is what our 5-year workmanship warranty backs up in writing.
