From Pollen Problems to Peaceful Paradise: A Chesapeake Screen Room Becomes a 3-Season Sunroom Sanctuary
May 13th, 2025Andrea Picardi, Marketing Director
In Chesapeake, VA, nestled within a quiet 55+ community, a homeowner envisioned relaxing days spent on the back porch—listening to the birds, tending to container gardens, and soaking in the peaceful view of the water.
But the reality of Hampton Roads living—intense heat, relentless humidity, and seasonal pollen—quickly turned their screened-in porch into an uncomfortable, underused space.
That’s when they called Betterliving Sunrooms & Awnings of Hampton Roads to bring their vision to life.

After
A Comfortable Outdoor Space—All Year Long
Our client loved the idea of the porch, but the heat and allergens kept them indoors. They needed a space where they could enjoy the natural beauty around them without battling the elements.
The solution? A beautiful, energy-efficient Betterliving® 3-season sunroom that now delivers year-round enjoyment, comfort, and style.
Their new sunroom provides the best of both worlds—outdoor charm and indoor comfort—making it the perfect place for:
- Morning coffee and birdwatching
- Container gardening without the pollen
- Reading and relaxing with the view
- Hosting neighbors or enjoying quiet evenings
