I was talking to a real estate agent from Long Grove IL recently about the most desired rooms that new homebuyers are looking for when they consider houses, and I was surprised when she mentioned the popularity of a screen porch. She explained that a screen porch can be the ultimate family hang out. Families can play games, eat dinner and relax together in the porch. A screen porch allows families to be outside and enjoy beautiful weather, but it is unique and valuable because the screen prohibits the entry of the summer mosquitoes and other bugs. Who wouldn’t want one in their home?
A screen porch does not need to be an expensive addition either. There are many builders and remodelers that I work with that can build affordable yet luxurious screen porches. When considering adding or building a screen porch, it is important to take location into consideration. It is most beneficial to build a screen porch adjacent to the kitchen so it is convenient to bring out food. There are many other factors that should be considered when building a screen porch too, such as size, design and budget. If you are considering building or adding a screen porch to your home, I would love to assist you! Please give me a call or e-mail me.
