Q: Which is better: a sunroom or screened-in porch?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re trying to decide between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-between-sunroom-or-enclosed-porch.htm">sunroom and a screened-in porch</a>, the right choice will depend on your priorities. A screened-in porch costs only a fraction of the price of a sunroom, but in exchange, it has much more limited use. A sunroom will add more value to your home, but at a much higher up-front cost and longer construction timeline.</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: Are there any specific design considerations for an attached greenhouse?

• <div><p>When designing an attached greenhouse, several factors should be considered. These include the orientation and positioning of the greenhouse to maximize sunlight exposure, the structural integrity of the connection to the house, sufficient insulation to regulate temperature, proper ventilation for airflow, and adequate space for plants and pathways. If you&rsquo;re restricted because of your budget, go with a simpler design to maximize the use of your money.</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 maintenance will my outdoor room need?

• <div><p>Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.</p><p>Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.</p></div>

I had a patio door replaced. Kodie B. and Lucas H. arrived at the specified time and set right to work. They were knowledgeable about the job and had all the materials they needed. I am very pleased with the quality of the patio door and of the workmanship.

"Andres discussed several options with me for a raised deck or patio to the backdoor. He set a reasonable price for all the work he did: raised concrete patio with stairs, door installation, wood railings plus he and his crew were extremely helpful with small jobs I asked for. In the small community I live in it is very hard to find responsive, reliable, reasonable contractors who do the job RIGHT! So glad I found him."

"Paul 's work for us put him on my list of top-notch contractors, that I would use again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend to others. Paul removed wallpaper from our 2 story entryway and a bathroom. The bathroom had damage from me trying to remove the wallpaper. Paul successfully removed the all the wallpaper, and fixed the bathroom walls. Then he painted the entryway and bathroom. Great job and everything looks like new. Paul is a nice person, and it was great working with and talking to him."
