Summertime is for relaxing with loved ones, cooking outdoors, and simply enjoying the sunshine. Spring is already here, and the warmest season of the year is right around the corner. If your home isn’t supporting your ideal vision for summer, it might be time to make some changes—a screened-in porch might be the home addition you’ve been looking for. Here are the biggest reasons to include a porch in your construction plans.

Why Build a Screened-In Porch for Summer?

1. Enjoy the Weather

A screened-in porch allows you to take advantage of all types of weather. On warm days, you can enjoy the sunshine and breeze while sitting in the shade. You can watch summer rainstorms from the comfort of the porch, and when the nights are chilly, you can still sit in the fresh air without feeling too nippy. Talk to your contractor about whether you want to make this home addition a three-season or four-season porch.

2. Create Space to Entertain

Hosting friends and family is one of the joys of summer, and a screened-in porch offers the perfect space to do so. With a covered outdoor area, you don’t need to worry about the weather. Your guests can always find a comfortable place to eat, relax, and spend time together. It also expands your living space from your home, so there will be less crowding during parties and gatherings. 

3. Prioritize Comfort

Screened-in porches are often the most comfortable outdoor living spaces. You can enjoy warm days and the cool air at night without being bothered by mosquitos and other insects. You can also enjoy privacy from your neighbors while you relax, play games, do yoga, or entertain. When building this home addition, talk to your contractor about how large you want the windows and how private you want the space to be. Your screened-in porch is your oasis from the world, and the design should reflect that.
