What are the different types of porches?

• <div><p>Several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-porch.htm">types of porches</a> are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Porticos</b> are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. </p></li><li><p><b>Sunrooms </b>are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. </p></li><li><p><b>Wraparound porches</b> extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.</p></li><li><p><b>Back porches </b>are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do sunrooms count as living space?

• <div><p>Sunrooms can count as a living space&mdash;and therefore count toward your home's square footage&mdash;if they are properly insulated and equipped with electrical and HVAC access, as in the case of a four-season room. However, in many cases, three-season sunrooms that function more as enclosed porches will not get included in the square footage count and fall into the exterior living space category.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a lanai and a Florida room?

• <div><p>A lanai is a covered patio with open walls, while a Florida room has sides made of mesh screens or windows, with or without partial low walls. In addition, lanais often use concrete or other patio flooring, while Florida rooms may have more indoor-style flooring like tile or wood. Both allow you to enjoy the outdoors without being in the direct sun, but a lanai doesn&rsquo;t offer any barrier against insects or debris. </p></div>

Q: Does a screened-in porch increase property taxes?

• <div><p>Yes, a screened-in porch will increase your property taxes because it has a foundation and is considered a permanent improvement to your land. The exact amount your taxes will go up depends on the value of your existing home, the value added by the screened-in porch, the size of the structure, your location, and more.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to screen-in a patio?

• <div><p>The average cost to screen-in your patio ranges from <b>$2,000 to $4,000</b>. How much you spend depends on the size of your patio, the materials used, and construction complexity. Some patio screen room kits are easy to DIY, but you may need to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/screen-porch-builders/">local screened-in porch builder</a> and obtain permits for more complex designs.</p></div>

Raul Alvarado was in charge of building my sunroom. He was knowledgable and polite. Raul was on time, and he always let me know when he was leaving and when he was coming back. He was dedicated in doing a good job.
