Can You Convert a Screen Porch to a Sunroom? Yes. Should You? Absolutely!

By admin on September 16, 2018

“We’ve had the screen porch for a few years now, and I do have to say we enjoy it,” Samantha said. “But I’m beginning to think we’d enjoy it more if we could use it year round. And the fact that our youngest has pretty severe allergies is a factor too – this year, we wound up staying indoors when the pollen was really bad. In a sun room, we wouldn’t have to do that.”

Converting a screen porch to a sun room is a smart idea for many families. This is especially true if you have a small home and need to make full use of your available space. “With four of us in this place, sometimes we do wind up practically sitting on each other,” Samantha laughed. “And that isn’t always a good thing. Having a sun room would provide a place for whoever needs a little alone time, whether they want to go play on their phone or read a book or just be by themselves for a while – they can have some solitude, but I know they’re still safe at home.”

Sunrooms are also a great feature for pets. “Our dog Bounder is a good boy, but you have to watch him every single minute,” Samantha explained. “His name fits him. If you don’t pay attention constantly, he’s bounding out of the yard! But he loves to see everything that’s going on outside. The screen porch was okay, but I was always worried he would get wound up by a passing squirrel and take off after it. In the sun room, he’s got a great view but he’s also contained.”

Sunrooms are durable and long-lasting. Investing in a sunroom now will pay off for years to come, as your family has additional space to enjoy all year round. “Sunrooms are really pretty,” Samantha said. “They add character and curb appeal to the home. That’s why they are so popular.”
