Q: What is the cheapest way to enclose a patio for winter?

• <div><p>Creating a screen room is one of the most cost-effective ways to enclose a patio so you can still use it in the winter. Most screen rooms aren&rsquo;t insulated, so you&rsquo;ll need to wrap up warm or use patio heaters in winter. Also, be aware they might not hold up well if you live in a location where heavy snow is common.</p><p> </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>

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 you pay will depend on the state of your patio and whether it needs repairs or additional structural support, the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your patio, and whether you plan to run utilities into and finish the sunroom. 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>

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: 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>

Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.

The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014. We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home. But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.
