Because working with numbers isn’t always straightforward, considering your area from a functional standpoint can enable you to figure out precisely how much space you need to enjoy your screened-in porch.
When pondering the purpose of a screened-in porch, these are some excellent questions to ask yourself:
What kind and size of furniture do you want to put on your porch?
What will you mainly be using the space for?
How much time do you intend to spend on your porch?
Do you desire to create distinct areas on the porch?
Do you intend to add electricity?
Are you thinking of using a heating element or fireplace?
Do you want a porch made for entertaining?
Do you require porch access to your yard?
What do you want as your main focal point?

- Roof type
- Roof height

- Existing Roof Line
- Material of roof
- Materials and Colors of Screened Porch
- Decking
- Ceiling Finishes

Your budget is the final point of emphasis when talking about a screened-in porch project. When selecting whether or not to expand your outside area, cost is a key determining factor. Your budget may or may not allow specific features or finishes you may be looking for. So, then the question arises, are those necessities? Are they part of the build that can be added later on? Or should more time be allowed to save for what you want?
When comparing quotes, the fact that no two companies are exactly the same should be taken into account when talking about the budget. Every company has unique procedures, materials, designing, warranties, and other elements that will make a significant difference when building a screened porch. You want to be sure that a project is being carried out to a high degree and is being built correctly because screened-in porches are a big investment.
