What is a Screened Porch?

Screened-in porches have a variety of names, including screened porches, screened-in porches, screen-in porches, screen porch, and sometimes screen room. No matter the name, all of these structures are the same, involving a roof with roll screening to protect from the outdoors. Screened porches protect you from the rain, pollen, harsh winds, cooler temps, and most importantly, bugs! A common way to upgrade a screened porch is to retrofit it with Eze Breeze 4-track windows. This offers a more durable and versatile space, allowing you to control the air in your room. 

Advantages of a screened-in porch

It’s more common to have a screened porch in the Charlotte area than not. If you’re considering adding an extended living space to your home, a screened-in porch is an excellent option. Screened porches offer numerous benefits to enhance your outdoor living experience.

• Enjoy the outdoors without worrying about bugs, weather, debris, or harsh winds.
• Stay comfortable with the luxury of a roof structure, while still enjoying the smells and sounds of nature.
• Enjoy a more private outdoor living experience without feeling exposed to neighbors.
• Add value to your home if you plan on selling in the future. 

Disadvantages of a screened porch

For Charlotte homeowners, a screened-in porch is a sought-after addition. Nevertheless, homeowners should consider potential disadvantages compared to a 3-season room before committing to the project. 

• Roll Screens aren’t as durable as 4-track or glass windows, which can result in torn or damaged screens.
• Screen porches won't hold in heat as well as a 3-season room or sunroom.
• You can't control the airflow in your porch with screens.

How much does a screen porch cost?

If you find yourself wondering “How much does a screened porch cost?” you’re not alone. Many homeowners are searching for more information to understand the upfront cost of adding a custom porch to their home. Because porches are a custom and luxury item, the price can vary depending on factors such as the size, materials used, electrical, and additional features. 

At Archadeck, our porch projects generally start around $40k. This number is based on the fact that most of our porches are not under the $40k mark. Of course, it does depend on the factors listed above, so speak directly with your design consultant to understand your project and how much your specific dream porch may cost.

FAQs About Screened Porches

Can a screened porch be added to an existing deck?

Whether your current deck can support a new roof depends on its structural integrity. We will assess the existing structure of your deck to determine if it can handle the weight of a roof structure.

What is the difference between a screened-in porch and a 3-season room?

A screened porch maximizes airflow with floor-to-ceiling screens. A 3-season room is a more versatile, year-round space because it utilizes 4-track vinyl windows to block out cold air, pollen, and rain.

Do I need a permit for a screened porch?

Yes, a building permit is required to add a roof structure to your home. Archadeck handles the entire permit process from application to obtaining the permit to scheduling inspections; we'll take care of it.

Can I convert my screen porch into a 3-season room?

Yes, we can retrofit your existing screened porch to accommodate 4-track windows, making a 3-season room. We call this a porch conversion or retrofit.
