The screen porch you are designing for your home is intended to add living space for your family, an entertaining venue for friends and a home addition for use throughout the year. As well as designing your screen porch for functionality it can be designed for style and curb-appeal – no need for a simple box design if you want something to compliment the look of your home in Woodbridge, VA.
Before you build, or hire Hal Co Fences and Decks to build a screen porch for you, take a drive around the area. Visit neighboring cities like Dale City, VA, Fairfax Station, VA and Great Falls, VA for a look at screen porches. This not only provides you with the opportunity to gather ideas from your friends and neighbors, but also to evaluate the work of contractors you may be considering. The investment in a screen porch is an important one, and should be approached accordingly.
Nothing says your screen porch must extend from one edge of your home to the other. A small screened porch situated off the kitchen or family room makes the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. If the design of your home allows for it, consider the addition of a large second-story screen porch that can be crafted to appear as though it was part of the original home design.
Also, think about the roofing materials on your home and those that will be on the screen porch as well. When you look at your Middelburg, VA home from the road (assuming of course you can see the screen porch) you never want to think ”that looks like it was just stuck on the house!“ Instead, you want the material for the screen porch roof to match that of the rest of your home. When working with a contractor such as Hal Co Fences and Deck, you can be sure the final products will complement one another and never be a distraction.
