Family-owned screened porch and EZE-Breeze contractors serving Chesapeake, VA since 2017.
Searching for a screened porch contractor in Chesapeake, VA? Evoke Design + Build is a husband-and-wife team that has been building and enclosing porches across Hampton Roads since 2017 — Ashleigh handles design, Joey runs the build.
A traditional screened porch keeps insects out while staying fully open to the breeze — the right call for most of the year in Hampton Roads. For homeowners who want more control, we also install EZE-Breeze vinyl panel systems, which turn a screened porch into a true three-season room you can close up on a windy or chilly evening and open back up the next morning.
Some porches we build new from the ground up; others are existing open porches we enclose with screen or EZE-Breeze panels. Either way we handle the framing, screening or paneling, and any electrical for fans or lighting, start to finish.
Chesapeake stretches from dense neighborhoods near the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge to the quieter, more rural stretches around Deep Creek and the Great Dismal Swamp. That range means we design differently depending on whether your lot backs up to a canal, a wooded buffer, or a standard suburban HOA subdivision.
Every screened porch contractors project in Chesapeake, VA starts with a free on-site consultation, where we walk your yard, talk through how you actually want to use the space, and take real measurements — not a phone-quote guess. From there we put together a design and a detailed, written quote before any contract is signed, so there are no surprise change orders once work starts. Once you approve the design, Joey and our crew handle permitting, material ordering, and the build itself, with Ashleigh keeping you updated on timeline and any decisions that come up along the way. We work with a small group of trusted, vetted trade partners for parts of the build, and Joey personally builds the most difficult, detail-oriented parts of every project himself — so you get one point of contact from design through the final walkthrough, not a rotating cast of subcontractors you have never met.
A contractor who works Hampton Roads every week already knows the details a national chain has to look up. A screened porch needs a building permit everywhere in Virginia regardless of size, since it's a roofed structural addition with footings and a ledger attachment, unlike some smaller freestanding decks.
On top of that baseline, Chesapeake requires a separate zoning review before any building permit is issued, something homeowners are frequently surprised by mid-project. We build the full review timeline into your schedule from the start.
We are not a national franchise reading from a script; we are the two people who show up to your consultation, design your project, and stand behind it afterward. That matters most on a coastal outdoor structure, where the wrong flashing detail or an undersized footing will not show up as a problem until a year or two of real Hampton Roads weather has gone by.
A new screened porch in Chesapeake, VA typically averages around $2,800, though a full custom build can run $25–$120 per sq. ft. Converting an existing open porch with EZE-Breeze panels usually runs $3,700–$8,500 for a standard 6–10 panel job.

An older existing porch may need framing or ledger repair before it can be enclosed — we flag this during the free consultation, not after we start.
