The housing market is set to benefit sellers in the coming months. Whether you're making repairs to your home in the hopes of selling soon, or if you're wanting to make an affordable change to your house - waiting for a better opportunity to sell - why not consider the addition of a screen room? A screened porch or lanai, is easy to repair and greatly increases a home's value, providing an extension to any home, allowing its residents to enjoy the comfort of indoors.
The Benefit of Adding a Lanai to Current Residences
Lanais can offer the same access to the visual beauty of an outdoor porch, without the expense or responsibilities of a glass-walled veranda. Glass windows serve to keep out the elements, but there are no benefits to having glass over screens if the climate is warm and dry for a majority of the year. Cleaning glass windows can be a hassle, as can be worrying about the safety issues, repairs and replacements.
Screened rooms are designed to let in evening breezes and warm sunlight. Lanais also offer access to the beauty that surrounds your home, creating a porch space to enjoy a back or front yard. The sounds of the environment can be further enjoyed from a screened porch as well. The screening can keep out bugs and insects, but still create a safe place to be in while enjoying the natural beauty of your land. With a lanai you won't need to purchase mosquito sprays and light devices, making the evening all the more pleasant with the added benefit of remaining cool.
Property Value Benefits Of Screened Porches
The return on investment from added screened porches and lanais exceeds the benefits of simple home repairs. The costs are so low that many people who intend to screen a space around their patio, end up screening much larger areas. These include screened pools, large chunks of backyard, and entire spaces at the front of homes.
A screened porch can maximize the space of a home, without costly construction. A homeowner can make use of the additional space offered by a lanai without modifying the square footage or coming into conflict with housing regulations. Large spaces outside can be revitalized by a lanai; Some areas in the backyard can be unattractive and take away from the property's value but the aesthetic qualities of a lanai can significantly raise the value of a home.
Adding a Lanai or Screened Porch
Depending on the aptitude of the homeowner, a screened porch can be self-installed from a kit, or otherwise installed by professionals. Either way, the costs are still low compared to other forms of home improvement.
The winter months are the perfect time to consider the addition of a lanai or screened porch. A quick local search can help you find the right style and installment options. An incredible screen porch can easily be added to your home by spring and make it far more enjoyable for its current residents and more add to its value.
