Porch Enclosures |
|
A porch enclosure is a very popular room add-on. This sun-letting enclosure is usually attached to the house along one continuous wall. Often they are converted from existing decks, patios, or porches. The primary function of a porch enclosure is to give you an open space feeling while remaining protected so that it can be used all year around. The walls and even the roof of most porch enclosures are constructed of glass. Many are made so that you can replace at least part of the glass with screens in the summer to increase ventilation. |

The beauty of a porch enclosure is the versatility of the space it provides. Many home owners plan it in such a way that it can serve as an alternative dining space, guest room, games room, sun room, or spa deck. Since all of these types of additions typical give quite good return on the investment, between 90% and 95%, the amount invested is reflected very well in the home's value. In addition to the usability of a porch enclosure, prospective buyers are sure to be charmed by such a warm, welcoming addition.

As with most major home renovations, undertake the addition of a porch enclosure at a time when you are planning to remain in the home to enjoy it. Since large renovations generally will not pay back more than what you invest, it is important that you are doing it primarily for your own enjoyment. |
