From Indian Trail and Colton Ridge to Monroe, Waxhaw, and beyond, Valverax builds custom screen enclosures that let Union County families enjoy their porches without the bugs, pollen, and humidity that define Carolina summers.
Locally owned. Serving Union County NC and surrounding areas.
Union County stretches across a wide range of landscapes, from the dense suburban neighborhoods of Indian Trail and Stallings near the Mecklenburg line all the way south to the rural stretches outside Monroe and Marshville. What all of these communities share is a consistent pattern of warm, humid summers and pollen seasons that settle in hard across the piedmont. Mosquitoes, gnats, and other insects are common throughout the county from late spring well into fall, and that pressure is felt in every backyard regardless of zip code.
Screen enclosures are one of the most practical upgrades Union County homeowners make to their outdoor living spaces. A properly installed screen room lets you sit outside during an evening in late May without being driven back indoors. It keeps the breeze moving and the view open while blocking insects, airborne debris, and heavy pollen counts that characterize spring and summer across the region.
We recently completed a screen enclosure project in Colton Ridge, a well-established community in Indian Trail, that illustrates exactly why homeowners in this county are making this investment. The porch on this home had been left open for years, and over time the trim around the header and posts had deteriorated badly. The homeowners had two clear goals: replace the rotted trim and screen in the porch so the family could actually enjoy it without bugs taking over.
We started by replacing the damaged header and post trim with Hardie Trim, a fiber cement product that stands up to the moisture and humidity that causes wood to rot in the first place. We painted the trim to match the home and then installed a clean 3-inch black aluminum framing system across the entire porch opening. The screen itself is Phifer 18x14 fiberglass mesh, a tight weave that keeps even small insects out without obscuring the view. We finished the project with an aluminum swing screen door for easy access.
The result was exactly what the family wanted. They were very pleased with the end result, and it shows in how the finished project looks. The black aluminum framing gives the porch a sharp, finished appearance that complements the exterior of the home rather than looking like an afterthought.
This kind of project is common across Union County. Whether you are in Colton Ridge, in a newer development in Waxhaw, or in an older neighborhood closer to Monroe, the combination of durable materials and professional installation makes a lasting difference in how much you can use your outdoor space.
Every screen enclosure we build in Union County uses materials selected for durability and performance in the Carolina climate.
Our aluminum framing is powder coated for lasting color and corrosion resistance. The black finish is a popular choice across Union County because it pairs well with a wide range of exterior styles and holds up without fading or peeling over time.
The 18x14 weave is tight enough to block small insects, including gnats and no-see-ums, while still allowing good airflow. It resists sagging, tearing, and UV degradation better than lower-grade screening materials.
Where existing wood trim is rotting, we replace it with Hardie Trim before installing the screen system. Hardie Trim is fiber cement, which means it does not absorb moisture the way wood does and will not rot, warp, or attract pests over the years ahead.
Every project includes a properly fitted aluminum screen door for comfortable entry and exit. Doors are hung level and adjusted for smooth operation from the first day.
Valverax installs screen enclosures throughout Union County, including the following communities and surrounding areas.
One of the fastest growing towns in North Carolina, Indian Trail has a large concentration of newer homes with porches and patios that are ideal candidates for screen enclosures. Neighborhoods like Colton Ridge are a great example of where this work is in high demand.
The county seat of Union County, Monroe has a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. We serve homeowners throughout Monroe who want to make better use of their porch or patio space.
Waxhaw has grown significantly over the past decade and is home to many large properties with covered porches and outdoor living areas that benefit from professional screen enclosure installation.
These communities in the northern part of Union County border Mecklenburg County and include many upscale homes where outdoor living is a priority. Screen enclosures are a natural fit for these properties.
We serve homeowners in Stallings, Unionville, and the communities along the NC-74 corridor who want quality screen enclosure work from a contractor familiar with the area.
In the southern and eastern reaches of Union County, we work with homeowners in Marshville, Wingate, and neighboring communities who want to get more use out of their porches and outdoor spaces.
"We are so pleased with our patio conversion to screened porch. This was the last of 4 companies I had estimates from, and we are so glad we went with Valverax. From our first meeting with Andrew then John and then Mike, everyone listened carefully to what we wanted and tailored the plan to our needs. Our patio had a couple of quirks that they had to work around and a couple of issues that they addressed very satisfactorily. I could not be happier with the result!"

View ProjectPermit requirements vary by municipality within Union County. Some towns require a permit for screen enclosures and some do not, depending on the scope of the project. We can advise you on the requirements for your specific location before work begins.
Most standard screen enclosure projects in Union County are completed in one to two days. Projects involving trim replacement or structural repairs, like the Colton Ridge job where we replaced the header and post trim with Hardie Trim, may take slightly longer depending on the scope.
We use Phifer 18x14 fiberglass mesh as our standard screen material. The 18x14 designation refers to the number of strands per inch in each direction. This tight weave is effective against small insects including no-see-ums, which are common in Union County during summer months, while still allowing good air circulation.
Aluminum does not rust. Our framing is also powder coated, which provides an additional layer of protection against corrosion and keeps the finish looking clean for years. This makes it a better long-term choice than painted steel in an outdoor environment with humidity.
Yes. This is actually part of many projects we do. On the Colton Ridge project in Indian Trail, the existing wood trim on the header and posts had deteriorated to the point where it needed to be replaced before we could install the screen system. We replaced it with Hardie Trim, which is a fiber cement product that resists moisture and will not rot the way wood does.
