Depending on where you live, a screen room can be a worthwhile investment as well as a place to enjoy nature in comfort. For homeowners near Dothan, AL, building contractor Stor All Custom Metal Buildings and Roofing helps construct porches, metal awnings, roofs, and more. Here, they offer three reasons screened-in porches are a good addition to your home.

3 Reasons to Build a Screen Room

1. Good Return on Investment

Depending on where you live in the country, screened porches may return around 75% on investments. The return will be highest in areas with warm, temperate climates such as coastal regions. This will make the property more attractive to future homeowners, increasing the house’s value.

2. Enjoy the Outdoors

Screen rooms allow homeowners to enjoy indoor comforts in an outdoor setting. Screens protect against bugs and sun while offering more privacy than an unscreened deck or patio. They make ideal spaces for meals and relaxation and increase the view from your house. Before you build, choose the side of the house with the most to be gained from a porch-front view. Alternatively, select a wraparound porch, which will provide views from multiple sides.

3. Less Cost Than Adding New Rooms

Because of the materials used, screen rooms typically cost less to build than full home additions. Not installing electricity in a screen room will further decrease cost. Building costs may differ by size and type: Primary options include wraparounds, back porches, and entryways. Homeowners should be wary of cutting costs too far, as wood flooring is cheaper than plastic but not as durable, and it is more likely to rot from water and sun exposure.
