Screened in Porches and Patios becoming very popular

admin — Mon, 05 May 2008 14:30:53 +0000

With the mild weather we have been enjoying, many customers are thinking about how nice a new porch or patio would be. When building a new screened in porch, or deck, there are a couple of things to remember. Number one is that the project should definitely be permitted, and inspected. This makes certain that your new space is up to code, and saves you hassle if and when you ever sell your house. The next thing to think about is whether or not to use regular pressure treated lumber, or one of the alternatives. Pressure treated lumber has a tendency to twist or warp as it drys. This can be eliminated if you use Kiln Dried pressure treated lumber. Kiln drying will add about 10 to 15% more to your material cost, but will look better longer. The third option is to use one of the many composite materials now available. Composites have a ton of nice features, but add about 50% to the cost. Porches can run from $10K to upwards of $50K, depending on size, type of material, finishing touches. Screened porches are an excellent place to entertain friends and family during these beautiful days.
