Our Approach

Outdoor space you’ll actually use.

A great outdoor project does more than look good in the spring. It extends how you live in your home through three seasons of Central PA weather. From sun room–style screened porches to retractable awnings and custom decks, we design every project around how your family really uses the backyard, then build it with our own crew and handle the permits for you.

Outdoor Living FAQ

Questions we hear most.

Do you build sun rooms in Carlisle?

Yes. Better View has built sun room–style screened and enclosed porches across Carlisle and Cumberland County for over 30 years. Whether you call it a sun room, a three-season room, or a screened porch, we’ll design it around your home and handle the permits.

What’s the difference between a screened porch and an enclosed porch?

A screened porch uses screen panels for airflow and bug protection, ideal for three-season use. An enclosed porch adds glass or windows for a more weather-tight, sun room–style space you can use further into the cold months. We’ll help you pick the right one at your consultation.

Are Sunair awnings retractable?

We offer both retractable and fixed Sunair awnings, in a wide range of colors and fabrics. Retractable models let you control shade and sun on demand for patios, decks, and windows.

Do I need a permit for a deck or porch in Cumberland County?

Most decks, porches, and patio covers do require a permit. The good news: we handle the Cumberland County permitting and approvals as part of the project, so it’s one less thing for you to manage.

What does the warranty cover?

You get the manufacturer’s product warranty on materials like awnings and decking, plus Better View’s lifetime installation warranty on the workmanship.
