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: 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: 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: What’s the difference between a Florida room and a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>A Florida room is a home addition that has finished walls with windows lining the perimeter, while a screened-in porch, also known as an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-arizona-rooms.htm">Arizona room</a>, lacks windows and instead has screens to maintain constant ventilation. Florida rooms provide longer enjoyment throughout the year because they&rsquo;re closed off and will naturally get heated from the sun, while a screened-in porch will just be the same temperature as the ambient air. </p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive way to enclose a porch?

• <div><p>The least expensive way to enclose a porch is with screens. These protect the room by preventing insects from entering and, if you live in a warm climate, provide excellent airflow during hot summer months. Screens cost far less than any other alternative, so if you are against getting permits, spending too much, or enclosing your porch in walls or glass, screens are the best choice. </p></div>

L&M crew came over and knocked my patio extension out in one day the guys were very cautious about my sprinkler lines and the guys walked me through what the whole process would be. The porch extension looks great and they reassured me if the porch cracks he'll come out and fix it. Really...

Silas did a fantastic job for us. We had tried to install it ourselves, but he was able to come in and clean up our mess and had us up and running in no time. It moves as smooth as silk. Highly recommend Patio Door Pro!
