Does an enclosed porch need a foundation?

• <div><p>Yes, porches require foundations. The type of foundation required, however, is determined by the type and use of the porch. For example, a screened-in porch won’t require a new cement foundation. However, if you turn your porch into a sunroom or plan on making it a living space, then chances are you need a foundation that’s more permanent than piers and posts. </p></div>

Q: What is the best size for a sunroom?

• <div><p>While there is no one size that&rsquo;s considered best, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sunroom-size.htm">sunroom size</a> that&rsquo;s best for you will come down to the size of your home and how you want to use your sunroom. Smaller sunrooms under 120 square feet provide a nice semi-outdoor sitting area, medium-sized sunrooms between 120 and 200 square feet can house an outdoor dining area and a small area for additional seating, and large sunrooms over 200 square feet can serve multiple purposes and even include an outdoor kitchen. </p></div>

Q: Is an enclosed porch considered living space?

• <div><p>An enclosed porch can be considered a living space if it meets certain criteria. For instance, it must be completely enclosed with solid walls and a roof. It should also have a heating and cooling source similar to the rest of the home. Finally, the porch should have direct access to and from the interior of your house.</p></div>

Q: Does a sunroom need a permit?

• <div><p>Yes, a sunroom will require a permit. You may just need a general construction permit for a screened-in porch or solarium. For a three-season room with electricity and a four-season room with electric, heating, and cooling, you&rsquo;ll need additional permits for each of the utilities, as well as a roofing permit.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to enclose a patio into a sunroom?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sunroom-cost.htm">cost to enclose a patio</a> to create a sunroom is around <b>$5,000</b>, and prices generally range from <b>$3,000 up to $10,000</b>.

The price for a fully finished patio enclosure could run up to around <b>$20,000</b>, while you might pay just <b>$2,500</b> for a screened-in porch.</p></div>

I would really recommend them for any concrete work. They did some steps to my back patio and a walkway, they did really good work and they work fast. They took great attention to detail to make sure the job came out as best as possible and to my liking.
