Screen Rooms in Jekyll Island, GA by Eicher’s Pro Vinyl

Eicher's Pro Vinyl installs screen rooms in Jekyll Island, GA with a 5-year workmanship warranty, employee-only crews (no subcontractors), and a free in-home estimate. If you have ever sat on a porch near Jekyll Island State Park and spent the whole evening swatting mosquitoes instead of enjoying the marsh view, you already know why a proper screen enclosure is worth every penny. With 186 mosquito days a year and 41.6 inches of annual rainfall, Jekyll Island homeowners deserve an outdoor space that actually works.
Spend More Time Outside Without the Bugs, the Rain, or the Regret
Jekyll Island sits just one mile from the coast in Glynn County, which means the outdoor conditions here are not gentle. You are dealing with high humidity, 186 mosquito days per year, and roughly 41.6 inches of annual precipitation. That combination turns a nice porch into a place nobody wants to be after about 6 p.m. from May through October.
A screen room addition in Jekyll Island, GA changes that math entirely. You get the cross breeze off the marshes, the sound of rain on the roof, and the smell of salt air, without the gnats landing on your food or the downpour soaking your furniture. Our enclosures use 20/20 gnat-resistant screen mesh, which is specifically sized to block the tiny coastal gnats that standard window screen lets right through.
- Aluminum framing that does not rust in coastal salt air
- 20/20 gnat-resistant mesh keeps even the smallest insects out
- Solid roof panel options let you enjoy the space during Jekyll Island’s 7 heavy-rain days without getting wet
- Screened walls allow natural airflow to keep the space comfortable on warm afternoons
The result is a room your family will actually use, not just admire from inside the house.
A Screen Room Adds Usable Living Space to Homes That Need It
The median home in Glynn County was built around 1986, which means most Jekyll Island properties were designed before outdoor living spaces became a standard part of residential construction. A lot of these homes have a concrete slab, a wood deck, or a basic porch overhang that was never meant to function as a year-round room.
Adding a screen room enclosure turns that underused space into something genuinely livable. Families use them for casual dinners, morning coffee, reading, hobbies, light exercise, and entertaining guests who want to be outside but not entirely at the mercy of the elements. Because the room is screened and covered rather than fully enclosed, it does not require the same permitting complexity as a full addition, and it costs significantly less.
Jekyll Island’s high tree canopy also means most outdoor areas are dealing with falling leaves, pine needles, and debris. A screened enclosure keeps that out of your space and off your furniture, which reduces maintenance and makes the area feel cleaner year-round.
- Converts existing slabs, decks, or patios into functional living space
- Keeps leaf litter and tree debris out with a covered, screened roof
- Works for dining, reading, hobbies, or entertaining, whatever fits your family

Built to Hold Up Against Coastal Weather, Not Just Look Good on Day One
Jekyll Island carries a high hurricane exposure rating, and wind gusts in Glynn County can reach 49 mph. That matters when you are choosing materials and a contractor. A screen room that is not anchored and framed correctly is going to show its weaknesses the first time a tropical system passes through.
Every screen room we build in Jekyll Island, Georgia uses heavy-gauge aluminum framing that is designed for coastal conditions. Aluminum does not rot, does not rust in salt air the way steel will, and does not warp the way wood eventually does this close to the ocean. Our crews fasten everything to existing structure using methods appropriate for high-wind coastal zones.
Jekyll Island also sits in a flood-prone barrier island environment, which means the framing and connection points need to account for the possibility of standing water and prolonged moisture exposure at the base of the structure. We have been doing this work in southeast Georgia since 1998, and our crews understand the difference between building for a neighborhood in middle Georgia and building for a barrier island one mile off the coast.
- Heavy-gauge aluminum framing resists salt-air corrosion
- High-wind fastening methods appropriate for Glynn County coastal exposure
- Materials chosen for long-term performance in humid, flood-adjacent conditions
- All work covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty
How We Measure, Design, and Build Your Screen Room
The first step is a free in-home estimate with no sales pressure. One of our team members comes to your Jekyll Island home, looks at your existing slab, deck, or porch, takes measurements, and talks through what you want the space to do. We discuss roof options, screen mesh, framing dimensions, and access points (doors, pass-throughs) based on how you plan to use the room.
From there, we handle the design and pull any required permits for Glynn County. Our crews, all Eicher’s employees and never subcontractors, do the installation. You are not getting handed off to a third party who has never met the person who sold you the job. The same company that gives you the estimate is the one that shows up to build.
Installation timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the project, but most residential screen room additions in our area are completed within a few days once materials arrive. We clean up the site when we are done, and the 5-year workmanship warranty starts the day the job is finished.
- Free in-home estimate, no obligation
- We handle Glynn County permit requirements
- Employee crews only, no subcontractors
- 5-year workmanship warranty on all labor

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a screen room on my Jekyll Island home?
For most Jekyll Island homes, the actual installation takes two to four days once materials are on site. The timeline from your free in-home estimate to breaking ground depends on permitting through Glynn County and material lead times, but we walk you through that schedule at the estimate so there are no surprises. Our employee crews work efficiently and do not hand the job off to anyone else.
Do I need a permit to add a screen room to my Jekyll Island property?
Yes, most screen room additions in Glynn County require a building permit, especially if they involve any structural attachment to your home. Eicher's Pro Vinyl handles the permit process for you. We know the local requirements and make sure the job is done to code, which matters especially on Jekyll Island where coastal construction standards apply and the county takes storm-resistance seriously.
Will a screen room hold up to the rain and wind we get on Jekyll Island, GA?
It will if it is built right. Jekyll Island gets 41.6 inches of rain per year, 7 heavy-rain days, and wind gusts up to 49 mph, plus high hurricane exposure. We use heavy-gauge aluminum framing, coastal-appropriate fastening methods, and solid roof panel options that keep rain out during downpours. Our 5-year workmanship warranty backs everything we build, so if something is not right, we come back and fix it.
What kind of screen mesh do you use, and will it actually keep out the gnats on Jekyll Island?
We install 20/20 gnat-resistant screen mesh, which has a finer weave than standard window screen. Standard mesh lets the tiny coastal gnats and no-see-ums right through, which defeats the whole purpose of a screen room near the Georgia coast. The 20/20 mesh blocks them while still allowing good airflow, so the room stays comfortable on warm afternoons without turning into a bug trap.
Can I get financing for a screen room in Jekyll Island without putting money down?
Yes. Eicher's Pro Vinyl offers 100% financing with no money down on screen room projects. Terms run 5, 7, or 10 years, and there is a 1-year same-as-cash option if you prefer to pay it off quickly. Military families and senior citizens also qualify for additional discounts. Call us at (912) 588-0061 to talk through what makes sense for your budget.
