4 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Building a Screened-In Porch

1. How often does your family plan to use your screened-in porch?

One of the most important questions to answer prior to building a screened-in porch is how will your porch be used. If the answer is ‘only summer’ your layout and floor plan may be a bit different then if you plan to use it throughout both spring and fall. A great first step is to begin brainstorming how you plan to use your screened-in porch. 

2. What is the best way to match your screened-in porch to your home’s architecture?

While you don’t have to have an exact plan already laid out when walking into your initial consultation, it is important to have an idea of what you expect your screened-in porch to look like. By having an idea of the aesthetic you are wishing to achieve our team can help you envision what your screened in porch may look like and how it will compliment your home. Once we have talked through the design, our team can create a blueprint for you to review before the building process begins.

3. What is the budget and is there any wiggle room?

During your consultation with a contractor it is important to have an understanding of your budget and whether or not you are willing to go over. Establishing a budget can ensure proper expectations for both you and your contracting team. At TrueSon, sticking to a budget is important as we know screened-in porches are an investment.

4. How will your new structure handle rain or snow?

When adding a new feature to your home it is crucial to remember Missouri’s elements.
