Screened-in porches offer versatility for entertaining family and guests or relaxing from the daily grind. Screened-in porches provide natural light, good views and an abundance of livable space. They are great transitional spaces between indoors and outdoors, literally and visually providing a sense of security, offering the perfect place to dine, entertain or just relax. A screened-in porch adds a new dimension to a home owner's lifestyle as well as raising the value of the home.
As with sunrooms, the rise in popularity can be attributed to new design amenities such as sky lights, arching windows, sliding doors, and climate controlled glass that lets in light but not intense heat. These are just a few of the more innovative products in recent times that have improved the look and feel of porches. Manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to make these porches more adaptable to accommodate homeowners growing needs.
A new product on the market features temporary flexible glass windows that offer style as well as function and gives a screened-in porch a defining look and character. They bring an abundance of warmth, light, beauty, and provide openness and space to any living environment. The glass is ideal for those who want to transform an open space into an instant sunroom. When the weather warms up, the windows can be removed and the homeowner can either leave the space open or add the screens until the weather gets cold again. Another option that is becoming more and more popular is the remote controlled screen system that allows homeowners to raise and lower the screens with the touch of a button. These retractable screens are perfect for changing an open area into an enclosed porch within minutes. As kitchens and bathrooms have evolved, the screened-in porch is a good return on investment when it’s time to sell your home.
Sun Porch --Planning--
Important things to consider when planning your new Sun Porch.
Begin your plan for a sun room or screenroom by setting goals, considering designs, understanding the construction process, knowing the benefits, speaking with a builder or manufacturer, and considering the porch or patio enclosure options.
Patio Enclosure Location & Preparation:
What is the best location for a screenroom or sunroom? How much modification will my house need? Will I be mounting a porch enclosure on an existing deck or patio or will I be building a new one? Do I need a foundation? How will the enclosure fit and attach to my house?
Assembly & Ordering:
There many screenroom & sunroom designs to choose from? Who will be measuring and ordering the patio or porch enclosure? Will I consider a do it yourself sunroom or screenroom? Can I count on my family and friends to help? Should I hire a contractor to help with the steps I find difficult? Do I want to pay a contractor for the entire project? Should I consider a custom sunroom? Will I design a sunroom on my own?
Expectations:
What is my budget for the entire patio or porch enclosure project? What are my expectations based on my budget? How will I pay for the project? Do I have or need financing options? How will a Sun Porch addition affect my home's value?
What is the dollar amount for Brands Construction to add a Sun Room to my home?
This varies pending on the options desired and the home setting.
$15,000.00—$30,000.00 is a common price range.
