Porch & Outdoor Living Screens in Georgina
A screened porch enclosure converts an open deck, covered porch, or pergola into a usable three-season space. In Georgina, the combination of Lake Simcoe insect pressure, the converted cottage housing type that frequently includes covered decks and wraparound porches facing the water, and the cultural connection to screened outdoor living that is standard in cottage country makes porch screen enclosures one of our most requested and highest-impact services in the municipality. Screen Express designs and installs porch screen systems for Georgina properties of all sizes.
The screened porch is a fixture of Ontario cottage life, and Georgina is the most cottage-like community in York Region. The Historic Lakeshore Communities, Jackson's Point, Sutton waterfront, and Keswick South all contain properties where a covered porch or deck facing the water is the centrepiece of the property's value, and where that porch is currently unusable after 7 PM from June through August without a screen. These are homeowners who chose their property for its outdoor setting and are being prevented from fully using it. The seasonal property market adds another dimension: cottagers who visit on weekends find that their limited time at the lake is spent avoiding the porch rather than enjoying it. A screen enclosure directly addresses this. Permanent screened enclosures in Georgina require a building permit from the Town at 905-476-4301. Shoreline and near-water properties must also comply with the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan and may require an LSRCA permit; shoreline setback requirements apply.

Why Georgina Homeowners Choose Screen Express
We install porch screen systems using commercial-grade aluminum framing and heavy-duty 18×16 fibreglass mesh as standard. For any panel facing Lake Simcoe, Cook's Bay, the Holland River, or the Black River, we strongly recommend 20×20 fine mesh. This is the only way to block the mayfly, midge, and gnat pressure that comes off the water in the evening. All framing is measured and cut on-site to fit your specific structure. We offer fixed panels, hinged screen door access, and combination systems. All hardware is finished in black or mill aluminum. We are familiar with Georgina's LSRCA permit requirements for shoreline properties and can discuss the process when you contact us.

Spring Lakefront Screen Replacement: Jackson's Point
· 2024Problem
A converted cottage on the Lake Simcoe waterfront in Jackson's Point had screens that had not been replaced since the property was converted to year-round use in the early 2000s. The aluminum frames were corroded at the corners, the mesh had oxidized to a grey-brown colour, and the spline had cracked and pulled free at every lower corner. The owners also reported mayfly insects entering through closed windows during the May hatch.
Solution
Replaced all 9 window screens and the patio door screen. All frames were rebuilt in new aluminum stock. The existing frames were too corroded to re-use. Mesh: 20×20 fine mesh in charcoal on all lakeside-facing windows and the patio door; heavy-duty 18×16 fibreglass on the remaining windows. The owners reported the May hatch was fully blocked the following spring.
Muskoka Room Installation: Keswick South
· 2025Problem
A year-round home in Keswick South with a covered deck adjacent to a low-lying area near the Cook's Bay shoreline had been unusable in the evening from May through August. The owners had tried torches, fans, and sprays without lasting effect. The covered deck structure was already in place with posts and a roof.
Solution
Installed a full-perimeter screen enclosure on the existing covered deck using commercial-grade aluminum framing and 20×20 fine mesh on all panels facing the water and low-lying side, 18×16 on the house-facing panels. Added a hinged screen door on the primary access side. The owners reported using the space comfortably through September.
