A Railroad Town
Window Screen Replacement in Ball Ground's Historic Houses
Ball Ground grew up around a railroad stop after the line was built in 1882. Many homes still standing in town date from the 1880s through the 1920s, and the Ball Ground Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. For a screen porch contractor in Ball Ground, GA, those houses are a big part of the work. They have character, and their windows often come in sizes no hardware store screen will fit.
Window screen replacement in Ball Ground usually means one of two things. Where the old frames are still straight, we rescreen them with fresh mesh. Where frames are bent, missing or beyond saving, we make new custom screens to the exact opening, so a century-old sash can be raised on a spring afternoon without letting the bugs in.
Porch Screens in Cherokee County Mountain Country
Ball Ground sits at the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, and the land around it is rich in marble deposits. It is a place where people like to be outside, whether that means a stroll at Gibbs Gardens, which spreads across more than 300 acres with sixteen gardens, or an afternoon at the free Ball Ground Botanical Gardens.
Good porch screens bring that same outdoor feeling home. Across Cherokee County, porch screens take a beating from summer storms, pets, falling branches and years of sun. When the screen is ripped or sagging but the frame is still solid, porch rescreening restores a clean, tight look without rebuilding anything. Phifer BetterVue insect screen is worth considering for a porch with a view of the hills, since its smaller yarn keeps things clear and bright.

Screen Porch Installation in Ball Ground and Other Services
Not every house in town came with a porch worth sitting on, which is where a screen porch contractor in Ball Ground, GA comes in.

Along with that, homeowners here call us for:

- Eze-Breeze porch enclosures with sliding vinyl panels for cooler weather
- Window screen replacement on existing window frames
- Screen door installation for porch entries and patio doors

(678) 640-3405Living on a Screened Porch Through a Foothill Year
Spring in north Georgia arrives with a yellow haze of pollen that settles on cars, rails and outdoor furniture. A screened porch will not stop all of it, but fine mesh catches a good share of what would otherwise drift onto an open deck, and the furniture stays cleaner between rinses.
Summer brings long evenings and the insects that come with them, especially on properties with woods, creeks or pasture nearby. Fall is often the nicest season on a Ball Ground porch, with cooler air drifting down from the mountains. Owners who want to keep using the room into those crisp mornings often add Eze-Breeze panels, which close against the chill and open again when the afternoon warms up.
Ball Ground Screen and Porch Questions
Do you travel to Ball Ground from the Alpharetta shop?
Yes. Ball Ground is part of our north metro Atlanta service area, and Interstate 575 makes the trip straightforward. We come to your home to measure and talk through options, whether you live near the historic downtown or out in the countryside around town. Call (678) 640-3405, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, to schedule your free estimate.
Can you match screens to the windows on a historic Ball Ground home?
Yes. Older Ball Ground houses often have window openings that standard screens do not fit. We can rescreen the original frames when they are in good shape or build new custom screens to the exact size of each opening. Tell us roughly how many windows need work when you call, and we will plan the visit around them.
Is an Eze-Breeze enclosure a good choice in the foothills?
For many owners it is. Eze-Breeze panels use lightweight vinyl glazing that raises or lowers to open about three-quarters of each window area, so the porch stays open on warm days and closes up when the air turns cool. Vinyl is lighter and more affordable than glass. We can show you how the panels would look on your porch during the estimate.
