Not loving your outdoor living space? Consider crafting a screened porch! Whether you’re enclosing a backyard patio or front veranda, a screened porch can be a great choice for all types of homes. In this blog, we’ll cover the biggest benefits of a thoughtfully designed screened porch and show you some of our favorite Tabor projects:
Added Living Space
A screened porch is the epitome of comfortable, convenient outdoor living. With cozy seating, TVs, and even fireplaces, these spaces become a second living room — a true extension of your home. Furthermore, you can take your family game night or watch your favorite series outside any time of year, day or night, by incorporating ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and portable heaters.
Entertainment Space for Guests
Many homeowners find themselves wishing they had a more comfortable area to host their guests. Adding a screened porch could be the solution. With your newfound space, you could enjoy a great conversation with friends in the fresh air, keep an eye on the kids playing in the yard, and perfect your barbeque skills all at the same time.
Bug & Weather Protection
One of the top reasons homeowners choose to build a screened porch is so they can enjoy the outdoors while protected from insects and the elements. Those beautiful summer nights won’t ever be interrupted by swarms of mosquitoes, and instead of a thunderstorm ruining your outdoor fun, you can stay safe and dry and enjoy the sound of falling rain.
Increased Curb Appeal
Well-designed and built screened porches add tremendous curb appeal to any home. Of course, savvy homeowners don’t just consider how enhancements like a screened porch will make them more comfortable; if you choose to sell one day, your outdoor oasis is a differentiator that could seal the deal for a prospective buyer!
