Regardless of whether you’re building a new screened porch or screening in an existing porch, the three factors most likely to impact your budget include square footage, labor, and selected materials. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that enclosing your existing porch, patio, or deck saves you on flooring and roofing, plus locks in a size for the project. Otherwise, think of how you’d like to use the space. A porch of about 15×20 feet or 16×16 feet, can comfortably fit a table and chairs for outdoor dining. A 16×16-foot screened-in porch made of pressure-treated wood costs about $45,000 compared to one made from exotic hardwood with steel framing, Zuri decking, and features such as infrared heaters for $55,000 or more. Before you decide on a size, check with your local municipality or homeowner’s association (HOA), which might have maximum specifications.

This might vary depending on the weather where you live; however, the best time to add screening to your porch is during the colder or winter months. Contractors tend to be busier during the spring and summer, so earlier in the year, you’ll find more availability and some flexibility on prices.
