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: Do you need a permit to build a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>In most parts of the U.S., adding a screened-in porch requires a building permit. Since this type of project often involves structural work and changes to your home&rsquo;s footprint, homeowners should adhere to local guidelines. That said, permit rules can vary widely depending on where you live and how extensive the project is. Before you start sketching out plans or ordering materials, check in with your city or county&rsquo;s building department to avoid headaches, fines, and potential structural issues down the line.</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: Do you need planning permission for a sunroom?

• <div><p>In almost all cases, you will need permits if you plan on building a sunroom over your patio, but regulations and requirements will depend on your municipality. Permits to enclose your patio will usually cost between<b> $300 and $1,000</b>. Since navigating local building codes and zoning requirements is challenging&mdash;and the consequences of not following them can be extremely expensive&mdash;we strongly recommend hiring a sunroom builder to complete the work and pull the permits for you.</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>

"Bruce called instantly and arraned to come the next morning to review the project. He arrived promptly at 9 am reviewed the work and gave a very reasonable quote...at least it was what I had in mind. He was very polite, personable and professional and he did a great job. I highly recommend Bruce for any masonry work you may have. In this case he cleaned off old mortar from about 20 bricks that had been knocked loose from a brick wall and reset them. They look grest."
