Eicher's Pro Vinyl installs screen rooms in Savannah, GA with employee-only crews, a 5-year workmanship warranty, and a free in-home estimate, no sales pressure attached. With 185 mosquito days a year and a termite risk rated "Very Heavy" by regional assessors, a screen room is less of a luxury and more of a practical answer to living comfortably in Chatham County. We have been doing this work since 1998, and we know what Savannah's climate demands from an enclosure.

Sand Gnats and 185 Mosquito Days: Why Most Savannah Screens Fail

If you have ever tried to eat dinner on a Savannah porch in July, you already understand the problem. Standard insect screen, the kind sold at hardware stores, has openings large enough for sand gnats to pass right through. Savannah logs an estimated 185 mosquito days per year, and the gnat season can feel nearly as long. A poorly screened enclosure does almost nothing to solve that.

That is why screen rooms in Savannah, GA built by Eicher’s Pro Vinyl use 20/20 gnat-resistant mesh. The “20/20” refers to 20 strands per inch in each direction, creating a weave tight enough to stop gnats while still allowing good airflow on those high-temperature summer afternoons when Savannah’s average daily high reaches 88.8 degrees.

• 20/20 mesh blocks sand gnats without blocking the breeze
• Keeps mosquitoes out during the city’s long warm-weather season
• Still lets in natural light and views of Savannah’s high tree canopy
• Holds up against the 45.9 inches of annual rainfall the area receives

We have watched homeowners near Forsyth Park and out toward Wilmington Island spend money on inferior enclosures and end up replacing them within a few seasons. Choosing the right mesh from the start is the single most important decision in a Savannah screen room project.

Older Savannah Homes Deserve an Enclosure Built to Match Them

The median year built for Savannah-area housing stock is 1984, which means a large share of homes in Chatham County are now 40 years old or more. Older homes often have settling, non-standard framing, or additions that make a cookie-cutter screen room kit a poor fit. Our crews measure and build to the actual conditions of your home, not to a catalog template.

Savannah’s homeownership rate sits at 56.5 percent, and many of those homeowners have invested real money in properties where the architecture matters. A screen enclosure that looks bolted on as an afterthought does not serve those homes well. We frame enclosures to complement existing rooflines and exterior profiles, whether you are in a bungalow near the Savannah Historic District or a ranch-style home closer to Garden City.

• Custom framing to match your home’s existing structure
• Vinyl framing that does not rot, even in Savannah’s humid climate
• Color options that coordinate with your siding and trim
• No subcontractors: every installation is done by Eicher’s own employees

Because our installers are employees and not subcontractors, there is one consistent standard on every job. That consistency is part of why we back every installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty.

Termite Country: What That Means for Your Screen Room Frame

Chatham County carries a “Very Heavy” termite risk rating. Wood-framed screen enclosures in this environment are a long-term liability. Once termites find a wood frame, they work quietly and the damage can be significant before a homeowner notices anything visible.

Eicher’s Pro Vinyl frames Savannah screen room enclosures in vinyl, not wood. Vinyl gives termites nothing to eat and does not absorb the moisture that makes wood framing attractive to pests in the first place. It also does not need to be painted, stained, or sealed on a regular maintenance schedule, which matters to a lot of homeowners who already have enough to maintain on a 40-year-old house.

• Vinyl framing: no termite vulnerability, no rot, no paint
• Performs well under Savannah’s 45.9 inches of annual precipitation
• Handles wind gusts up to the 46.3 mph speeds recorded in the area
• Low maintenance year after year

For homeowners out on Whitemarsh Island or Isle of Hope, where moisture levels are especially high, vinyl framing is not just a preference. It is the practical choice.

Making the Investment Work for a Savannah Household Budget

Savannah’s median household income is $61,064, and most homeowners here are thoughtful about how they spend on improvements. A screen room is a meaningful addition, not an impulse purchase, and we treat it that way. That is why we offer 100 percent financing with no money down, structured as 5-year, 7-year, or 10-year terms, as well as a 1-year same-as-cash option for homeowners who prefer to pay it off quickly.

Military families and senior citizens receive additional discounts, and we think that is worth saying plainly because Savannah has a significant military presence and a community of longtime residents who have been maintaining their homes here for decades.

• No money down, 100% financing available
• 5, 7, and 10-year payment plans to fit different budgets
• 1-year same-as-cash option
• Military and senior citizen discounts
• Free in-home estimate with no obligation

With a median home value of $214,900 in the Savannah area, a well-built screen room is an addition that adds usable square footage without the cost of a full room addition. We come to your home, take a look at the space, and give you an honest number before any work begins.

What You Actually Get to Use the Space For

Savannah averages 2,690 cooling degree days per year, meaning the warm season is long and the window for comfortable outdoor living without some form of protection is short. A screen room extends that window significantly. When the afternoon heat backs off and the breeze comes through the 20/20 mesh, the space becomes genuinely pleasant in a way an open porch rarely is.

Homeowners use these enclosures in a wide range of ways. Some set up a table and make it a regular dining spot. Others use the space for hobbies, exercise, or simply a quiet place to sit with a book while listening to rain on the roof. Savannah gets about 7 heavy rain days per year, and that sound inside a screened enclosure is one of the better things about living in this part of Georgia.

• Dining and entertaining without insects
• Exercise or hobby space that feels connected to the outdoors
• A comfortable reading spot through most of the year
• Views of Savannah’s tree canopy without fighting the bugs

The space is genuinely yours to use however fits your household. We build the enclosure. What happens inside it is up to you.
