Q: Does a screened-in porch count as square footage?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-screened-in-porch-add-value.htm">screened-in porch can add value</a> to your home, but it won&rsquo;t count toward the total square footage at an appraisal or when it comes time to sell. A screened-in porch is not fully enclosed, usable year-round, insulated, or heated or cooled, so it doesn&rsquo;t meet the requirements of livable square footage in most locations.</p></div>

Q: Is a sunroom less expensive than a room addition?

• <div><p>Building a sunroom is usually less expensive than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-home-additions-cost.htm">cost of building a home addition</a>, but it depends on the type of sunroom. A four-season sunroom will cost more than a home addition because it&rsquo;s basically a home addition with larger, more expensive windows. All other types of sunrooms will be more affordable than a home addition of an equivalent size because they don&rsquo;t have insulation, heating, cooling, electrical connections, or plumbing.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s more permanent than piers and posts. </p></div>

Q: How long do screened-in porches last?

• <div><p>With proper maintenance, the average life span of a screened-in porch is six to eight years for the screens themselves, but the foundation and structure can last for 50 to 100 years. To keep your screened-in porch in good shape, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-porch-screens.htm">clean your porch screens</a> regularly, patch holes, re-seal the wood as needed, and address any foundational issues right away.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>A screened-in porch requires maintenance to keep the screens clean and in good shape, and you may have to do some screen repair or replacement from time to time. A screen porch isn&rsquo;t an all-season porch, so the weather can get in, including wind and rain.</p></div>

"After a breif mix up, (They were on vacation when I called), they came out and listened to what I wanted to do, and went right to work with their thoughts and priced in at $17,000 to $20,000. I was standing there with only $1,200.00 so I had to put off this project. I had no idea it would be that expensive."
