The Average Price to Screen in a Porch

Screening a porch can have various pricing structures.

Screening in a porch is an economical way to add an addition to a home without the expense of building another room from the bottom up. Depending on what the consumer's needs are, various costs can apply to this project, as of 2010.

Considerations

An average price to screen in a porch begins with the $500 to $1,500 range. This is strictly material pricing for screening and a simple roof with the homeowner doing the labor.

Types

For a contractor to develop a screened in porch, along with proper roofing and new deck boarding, costs between $12,915 and $25,410, variable by the size of the deck itself. Pricing can go up from there, culminating into a fully insulated, heated, option-filled sun deck for approximately $60,000 to $70,000.

Expert Insight

Keep in mind that this pricing is for materials and labor for the porch conversion only. Other items, such as furniture or decorations, are not included with the contractor's price quote.
