The Leather City
Screened Porches for Buford's Old and New Neighborhoods
Buford sits mostly in Gwinnett County, with a small northern piece in Hall County. Its history runs through leather: a harness shop and tannery opened in 1868, the Bona Allen Company followed, and the town earned the nickname The Leather City. The Tannery Row building downtown, built as a shoe factory in 1919, now houses an artist colony.
That mix of history and growth shows up in the houses. Some porches near downtown have screen that has been patched for years, while newer homes along the Interstate 85 and Interstate 985 corridors often came with an open deck and nothing to keep bugs out. Both are worth a fresh look before the warm months arrive.
Downtown still carries reminders of that past, including a statue of Roy Rogers beside a Bona Allen saddle maker saddling Trigger. Out toward the Mall of Georgia, which uses a Buford mailing address, newer subdivisions keep filling in. Wherever you live in town, a well screened porch makes the most of long Georgia evenings, and choosing a screen porch contractor in Buford, GA who knows both old and new houses helps.
Porch Rescreening in Buford When the Frame Is Still Good
Plenty of Buford porches do not need a new enclosure at all, and a good screen porch contractor in Buford, GA will tell you so. If the framing is straight and sound, porch rescreening in Buford replaces only the mesh, which brings back a clean, tight look and stops the gaps that let insects through. Torn corners, sagging panels and screen faded from years of sun are the usual signs.
Lake Lanier is the city's main water supply, and the southern end of the lake, including Lake Lanier Islands, lies within Buford. Homes close to the shoreline and to Buford Dam Park tend to see more bugs on summer evenings, so a tight screen matters there.
Rescreening is also a chance to choose a better mesh. Standard fiberglass screen suits most porches, while Phifer BetterVue insect screen uses a smaller yarn and lets in more light, which keeps the view toward the water clear. We explain the difference during the estimate so you can choose the mesh that suits your porch.

Window Screen Replacement in Buford and More
Porches get most of the attention, but windows and doors let in just as many bugs when their screens fail. A screen with a small tear near the latch or a frame bent out of square can undo the comfort of a freshly screened porch. Here is what Nelson Aluminum Products Inc handles for Buford homeowners, all of it residential work done at your house:
- Window screen replacement for torn or bent screens on the windows you already have
- Screen door installation for porch entries and patio doors that need a new screen door
- Screen porch installation when an open porch or covered deck needs a full custom enclosure
- Florida style porches with an aluminum screen enclosure over a patio
Window screen replacement in Buford is a good job to pair with porch work, since one visit can cover the whole house. Screen door installation in Buford usually goes with a new porch, giving the room a proper entry that closes behind you. Patio doors that slide out to a deck are another common request, especially when the old screen no longer rolls smoothly.

Buford Porch and Screen Questions
Do you work on homes in both the Gwinnett and Hall County parts of Buford?
Yes. Buford spans two counties, with most of the city in Gwinnett County and a small northern portion in Hall County, and we serve homes on both sides of that line. The service is the same either way: porch enclosures, rescreening, window screens and screen doors, with a free estimate at your home. Call (678) 640-3405 to set one up.
My Buford porch screen is torn in a few spots. Is rescreening enough?
Often it is. When the frame is straight and the posts are solid, rescreening replaces just the mesh and leaves the structure alone, which is usually the simpler choice. If the frame is bent, loose or rotting, a new enclosure may make more sense. We look at the porch in person during the free estimate and explain which option fits your situation.
Can you add a screen door to my existing Buford porch?
Yes. We install new screen doors on existing porches as well as on the enclosures we build, and we can replace a worn patio screen door too. A good door closes cleanly and keeps the porch sealed against bugs. Tell us the size of the opening and how you use the entry when you call, and we will bring options to the estimate.
When should I call about a porch near Lake Lanier in Buford?
Any time of year works for an estimate, and many owners call in late winter so the porch is ready before warm weather brings out the insects. Homes near the lake tend to use their porches heavily in summer, so planning ahead helps. Call Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and we will find a time to visit.
