Screen Rooms in Hazlehurst, GA by Eicher’s Pro Vinyl
Eicher's Pro Vinyl installs screen rooms in Hazlehurst, GA with a 5-year workmanship warranty, all work done by our own employees, and a free in-home estimate with no sales pressure. Picture a Saturday morning in Jeff Davis County: the backyard is cool, the light is soft, and you are sitting outside with coffee, but 157 mosquito days a year means that screen between you and the yard is not optional. That is exactly the problem a well-built screen room solves, and it is what we have been doing for homeowners across this part of Georgia since 1998.
Screen Panels vs. Solid Enclosures: What Hazlehurst Homeowners Are Comparing
One of the first questions we get from homeowners in Hazlehurst is whether they should go with a traditional screen room or a fully enclosed sunroom with glass panels. Both have real merit, and the right answer depends on how you use the space and what your budget looks like.
A screen room in Hazlehurst, GA is the more affordable option, and for most of the year here in hardiness zone 9a, it is all you need. With average high temperatures of 90.8 degrees and 2,707 cooling degree days annually, the goal from May through October is airflow, not insulation. A screened enclosure lets the breeze move through while keeping mosquitoes and other insects out.
A glass or acrylic enclosure costs more upfront and traps heat in summer, which means you are running more air conditioning to make the space comfortable. For a county where the median home value sits around $89,500, that extra cost often does not make financial sense.
- Screen rooms cost less, allow natural ventilation, and are ideal for the long warm season in southeast Georgia.
- Glass enclosures extend usability into cooler months but add heat load and cost in summer.
- Hybrid designs with screen panels and a solid knee wall give you shade, privacy, and airflow together.
Our team will walk you through the tradeoffs honestly during your free in-home estimate so you end up with a room you actually use, not one that sits empty because it is too hot or too cold.
Why the Screen Material You Choose Matters More Than You Think
Not all screen mesh is the same, and in a place like Hazlehurst, the difference shows up fast. We install 20/20 gnat-resistant screens, which have a tighter weave than standard mesh. That matters here because southeast Georgia is well inside the range where no-see-ums and sand gnats are a real nuisance, not just a mild inconvenience.
Standard fiberglass screen is woven at 18×16 threads per inch. Our 20/20 mesh adds four more threads per square inch in each direction, closing the gaps that let the smallest insects pass through. The tradeoff is a slight reduction in airflow, but in practice, the difference is minimal on most days, and you gain a space that is genuinely usable from early spring through late fall.
We also use heavy-duty aluminum framing rather than lighter-gauge alternatives. Hazlehurst sits about 86 miles from the coast, and wind gusts here can reach 41.4 mph during storm events. A frame that flexes or rattles in the wind is not just annoying; it shortens the life of the screen panels at the attachment points.
- 20/20 mesh for gnat and no-see-um resistance
- Heavy aluminum framing rated for southeast Georgia wind loads
- Screen tension set correctly at installation to prevent sagging over time
Every screen room we build comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty, and the materials carry manufacturer warranties on top of that.

Attached vs. Freestanding: Comparing the Two Main Layout Options
Most homes in Hazlehurst were built around 1988, which means they typically have a concrete slab patio or a simple wood deck off the back door. That existing footprint makes an attached screen room the natural starting point for most projects.
An attached enclosure connects directly to the house, usually sharing a roofline or tying into the exterior wall. You walk out of your back door straight into the screened space. This design is efficient, uses your existing slab when possible, and integrates cleanly with the look of the home.
A freestanding screen room sits in the yard independent of the house structure. It works well when the patio is not ideally positioned, or when a homeowner wants the enclosure closer to a garden or pool area. It costs a bit more because it needs its own foundation and full framing on all sides, but it gives you more flexibility on placement.
- Attached screen rooms are typically lower cost and work well with most Jeff Davis County home layouts.
- Freestanding screen rooms offer placement flexibility but require more materials and labor.
- Both options can be built with 20/20 gnat-resistant mesh and heavy-gauge aluminum framing.
During your free estimate, we measure your existing space and discuss both options so you can compare them side by side before committing to anything.
Serving Hazlehurst and the Surrounding Communities of Jeff Davis County
Our crews work regularly throughout Jeff Davis County and the surrounding area.

With a walk score of 43, Hazlehurst is a car-dependent area where home is the center of daily life. That makes the quality of your outdoor living space matter more, not less. A screen room gives your family a place to land at the end of a long day without being driven inside by mosquitoes or afternoon heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a screen room cost in Hazlehurst, GA?
Screen room cost in Hazlehurst depends on size, framing type, and whether you use an existing slab. For a typical attached enclosure on a Jeff Davis County home, most projects fall into a range that works with our 100% financing options, including no money down and terms from 5 to 10 years. We give you a detailed written quote at no charge during your free in-home estimate so you know the full number before any decision is made.
Is a screen room worth the money in Hazlehurst with 157 mosquito days a year?
With 157 mosquito days annually and average highs of 90.8 degrees, a screen room pays for itself in usability. Without one, your backyard is essentially off-limits for much of the year. With 20/20 gnat-resistant mesh and solid aluminum framing, you get a space you can actually use from spring through fall. Given that median home values in Jeff Davis County are around $89,500, a screen room also adds real livable square footage at a relatively modest cost per foot.
Does Eicher's Pro Vinyl offer financing for screen rooms in Hazlehurst, GA?
Yes. We offer 100% financing with no money down, so there is no large upfront payment required. Terms available are 5, 7, and 10 years, plus a 1-year same-as-cash option. For households in Jeff Davis County where the median income is around $39,668, spreading the cost over time makes a screen room project much more manageable. Call us to discuss your options before or after your free estimate.
Will a screen room in Hazlehurst hold up to wind gusts and summer storms?
Hazlehurst sits about 86 miles from the coast with moderate hurricane exposure and recorded wind gusts up to 41.4 mph. We use heavy-gauge aluminum framing specifically because lighter framing flexes under those loads and damages screen panels at the attachment points over time. Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers the installation, and we stand behind the work if anything related to how it was built causes a problem.
How long does it take to install a screen room at a Hazlehurst home?
Most attached screen room projects in the Hazlehurst area take one to three days depending on size and whether site prep is needed. Because we use our own employees rather than subcontractors, scheduling is more predictable and there is a single point of accountability from start to finish. We will give you a realistic timeline during your free in-home estimate.
