Why Should I Invest In A Screened-in Porch?

Benefits Of Screened-in Porches

It’s that time of year again, the weathers nice and the sun sets later.  Everyone wants to be outside during the summer, no matter what time of day it is. But the warm summer weather also brings swarms of mosquitoes and insects. So how do you create a family-friendly area that allows you to sit outside without being attacked by bugs? A screened-in porch of course!

Add Living Space

Most people love having the option of a screened in porch because it allows you to virtually be outdoors. Whether you like enjoying coffee and a good book early in the morning, or entertaining friends at a dinner party late at night, a screened-in porch is a great investment for any home. It is the perfect room to have during the spring, summer, and fall seasons, when the weather is warm. In the spring and summer months, we tend to receive a lot of rain and unpredictable storms. Screened-in porches provide a great place to sit, hangout and watch the storm pass. In addition to rainstorms, the summer is also accompanied by the hot, burning sun. Screened-in porches are great for blocking the unbearable summer sun, while allowing a nice breeze to roll through.

Protect Furniture

During the warmer months, homeowners tend to invest in outdoor furniture.  When you invest in expensive outdoor furniture, you want it to stay nice as long as possible. With a screened-in porch, you can use it to store outdoor furniture during the winter months. Not to mention it protects the furniture displayed in the porch from the harsh outdoor weather.  No more worrying about running outside to quickly cover your furniture when an unexpected storm happens, or having to buy new cushions every year after they fade from the sun.

Add Home Value

Screened-in porches will raise the value of your home, add curb appeal, and catch the eye of potential buyers. Increasing living space in a home creates a more enjoyable experience for homeowners and adds an appealing selling feature, raising the value of a home. As long as you use modern design standards and techniques, you should see a positive return on interest (ROI) when you sell your home.
