When investing in your home, you’ll want to give your time and money to improvements you’ll benefit from for years to come. If you’re thinking about making home improvements, you may want to consider getting a screened porch. 

If you want to learn more about the benefits of a screened porch, you may want to consider listening to the advice of an expert. Our experts at Surface Bella have compiled a list of reasons why we believe you should make the investment. 

1. No More Bugs

If you enjoy spending time outside when the weather is nice but are tired of dealing with flies, bees, wasps, and mosquitos a screened porch will help protect you from them. Investing in this porch upgrade means avoiding them flying around you while you sit outside.

A screened porch is also great if you enjoy having a meal outside. You won’t have to worry about bugs landing on your food while your plate is unattended. If bugs have been a bother on your porch in the past, adding a screened porch might be an excellent investment. 

2. It Stays Cleaner

You deal with dirt and debris when cleaning your porch throughout the year. Investing in a screened porch will make cleaning much more manageable. If your children play on the porch and you don’t want them to sit in dirt or debris, having a screen will also keep them much cleaner.

If you don’t have to spend a significant amount of time cleaning your porch, it will give you a chance to enjoy it more often. You’ll also enjoy the time more because the space is much cleaner. 

3. Great Space For Pets

Screened porches are a great addition to your home if you have pets that you don’t want to leave unattended outside. Whether you worry about your pets getting out of the yard or you’re worried about their safety when they’re outside, a screened porch is an excellent place for them to spend time.

You should keep a close eye on your pet when they’re spending time on the porch, as any pet with sharp claws could rip the screen material. However, they will be much safer on the porch than in the yard, exposed to other animals and weather conditions. 

4. Avoid The Weather 

While having a porch is wonderful, it is hard to enjoy it too often if the weather outside is bad. With a screened porch, you’ll be protected from any adverse weather. You won’t have to worry about rain, hail, wind, or snow while safe inside the porch. By investing in an upgraded porch, you can enjoy it year-round.

There is more that is impacted by weather than you and your family. In addition to avoiding the weather, you won’t have to worry about the weather ruining your outdoor furniture. While outdoor furniture is weather-resistant, you won’t have to deal with wet cushions or sun-bleached furnishings. 

5. Extra Features

A significant benefit of a screened porch is the potential to add features to your porch that you wouldn’t ordinarily have with a standard porch. With a covered and screened porch, you can add electronics, like televisions or music systems, that aren’t weather friendly.

With this porch, you can add a ceiling fan, hot tub, or lighting. These added features will encourage you to spend more time on the porch, and you’ll get more enjoyment out of the space. 

6. You’ll Spend More Time Outside

Many factors may prevent you from using your porch. Whether it is something we have mentioned already or something else entirely, a screened porch may convince you to spend more time outside. 

There are many benefits to spending time outdoors, including improvements to your mental and immune health, improved sleep, and better breathing. If you’re hoping to feel better mentally and physically, investing in a screened porch is a great way to do that. 

7. Increased Resale Value

Investing in a screened porch is great for your home’s resale value. Even though it isn’t included in your home’s overall square footage, building a screened porch adds to your home’s living space and appeals to homebuyers who enjoy spending time outside. 

If the weather in your hometown is nice throughout the year, potential homebuyers may be looking for this kind of usable outdoor space. A screened porch is a great way to give your home a competitive edge.

Many homes have front or back porches that are used for a variety of purposes. If you are building a home or renovating, there are many reasons to invest in a custom porch. Surface Bella can help make a large space to entertain with quality porch materials and complete your project in the shortest timeline possible. Getting ready for spring and summer or outdoor gatherings can be made easier with a quality porch design. Here are just some of the top reasons you need a custom porch. 

1- Enhance Your Curb Appeal And Home Value

Doing any remodeling project will help increase your home value and improve the atmosphere of your home. New custom porches look wonderful and help increase the resale value of your home. While you may not plan on moving or selling your home in the near future, including a porch will be a major selling point for future buyers. Thinking about the future and changing trends during a remodel will help you get the best ROI when it comes time to put your home on the market. 

2- Extend The Living Area

Your back porch can be an extension of your normal living area during warmer months. While many people gather on their front porches as well, having a back custom porch gives you some added privacy while letting you enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Whether you are using your porch with your family to eat dinner, or invite friends over, custom porches can increase your usable space. 

3- Receive More Vitamin D

With the upcoming spring season, having a space to enjoy the sun is a major benefit of a custom porch. Getting Vitamin D is important for your health so having a space to enjoy the sun will elevate your mood and immune system. Your porch can be a safe place to relax and enjoy the outdoors without the stress of bugs, or too much sun exposure, and can even block the wind. 

4- Specialty Place For Entertaining

With the added living and sitting space that comes with a custom porch, you will be able to host more events and family gatherings when you include a quality porch. Custom porches can include sun shades, be partially or fully enclosed, or have railings to protect children and make your porch usable all year round. 

Surface Bella Renovations can create a variety of sizes of porches, made of many different materials and stain colors. No matter your style or budget, we can make your porch dreams come true. 

5- Protection From The Elements

Getting out of the rain or snow quicker when getting home will be made easier with a custom porch. Covered porches will allow you to get out of the weather quicker, keep packages or mail from getting wet, and give you extra time to adjust your coat or clothes before heading out into the weather. Getting your bearings is made much easier when you have some extra protection from a porch.
