Whether you want to expand your living space or just want a sheltered place to sit outside, a screened porch is an excellent home addition. Screened porches differ from three-season rooms in that they only have mesh screen windows rather than solid, vinyl-glazed windows. If letting the fresh breeze through but not the bugs appeals to you, Freedom Fence and Deck builds screened porches in Sykesville, MD!

How Much Do Screened Porches Cost?

Screened porches can cost anywhere between $2,000 and $40,000 nationally. It depends on several things:

• Size: A bigger screened porch means more materials and labor.
• Development: You might already have a porch and just want to screen it in, or you might need to construct a new screened porch from the foundation and up. How much development you need to do will affect the cost.
• Extras: Your roofing and flooring materials, heating and cooling systems, lighting, and any other built-in technology will impact the total cost.

If you have a budget in mind, we at Freedom Fence and Deck can help you stick to it, have leftover savings, or offer affordable financing. Our products also have substantial warranties.

Screened Porch Design in Sykesville, MD

Screened porches can have various basic designs. 

Two main categories are attached and detached. A screened porch can be attached to your house or completely freestanding. If it is attached, it might sit off your ground-floor bedroom, your living room, or your kitchen. If it’s freestanding, it can be in the middle of your backyard, in a sunny corner, on a deck, or next to the swimming pool.

Other design considerations include the roof shape and its elevation. Roof types include hip, pitched, and slanted roofs. Some screened porches are on a second-story level deck, others need a few steps to reach, and others are ground level. 

Screened Porch Customizations

You have quite a selection of roofing and flooring materials; roofing materials are practically the same as for your home’s roof, with the addition of aluminum. As for flooring, it must be outdoor-grade but can be as simple or colorful as you like.

Temperature control ideas include ceiling fans, fireplaces, and wood-burning stoves. If you love music, you can also install a stereo system. Don’t forget lighting; built-in lights add an element of luxury and elegance. Check out more ideas to customize your screened porch here.
