So, check out the many benefits of a 3 season room below.
What is a 3 Season Room Anyway?
You may not have heard the term 3 season room before. Chances are you may have heard it by a different name. Often, they are called a screened porch. But the concept is still the same. It refers to a room of a house that can be enjoyed in all but the coldest days of winter. The three season name refers to the rest of the year, when you can make use of this extra space.
Unlike a traditional sunroom, a 3 season porch is meant to blend the best of the outdoors and the indoors. It creates a new living space for your entire family. A 3 season room has a roof and an enclosure but often has screening or windows meant to let the outside in. But it can offer all the comforts and amenities of a living room, like the one you already have. However, it lets homeowners enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Best of all, this enjoyment comes without getting soaked by rain thanks to the ceiling or chased off by pests and insects. In fact, some of these rooms can even have a heating element to keep homeowners comfortable when it gets a little cooler. Plus, they can be combined with a patio or a deck for a tremendous outdoor living experience. Often, the door to a 3 season room can lead right out into these areas.

Experience You Can Trust
Structurally Speaking was born out of a desire to provide Triangle-area homeowners with top-quality home additions. In 1999, owner Jim Brennan was working for the Raleigh division of the largest deck and porch builder in the United States. In that time, he distinguished himself as one of the area’s top designers and builders. During this time, Jim also learned that the customer comes first. He used this important ideal as the backbone when he formed Structurally Speaking in 2008. That’s why Structurally Speaking offers:
· A Personalized Approach—every customer’s home is different. So are their styles. That’s why Structurally Speaking believes in customizing every project to match its owner. For example, a porch that’s right for one family might be totally wrong for another. They will work hard to bring that vision to life to improve the quality of living for your whole family.
· Fair and Competitive Pricing—of course, businesses need to make money. But Structurally Speaking believes in doing it the right way. That’s why they treat customers fairly and provide quality services. You work hard for your money, and they do too.
· Friendly Financing Options—saving for a project like this can be difficult. But there’s no time like the present to enjoy the outdoors. Structurally Speaking has worked with many customers on financing options for a new deck or porch. Just give them a call to find out about the options available to you.
A Proven Process
Structurally Speaking doesn’t believe that home additions have to be stressful. In fact, they think it should be fun and enjoyable. That’s why they use a three-step process that ensures every project comes out perfectly. Check out these steps below:
1. Initial Consultation—every project starts with a free, no-obligation consultation with owner Jim Brennan. Jim insists on meeting every client personally in order to determine their personal needs and interests. Jim will ask a series of questions to uncover your specific functional and aesthetic goals. At the same time, Structurally Speaking will take extensive photographs and measurements as well as a physical survey of your yard. Last but not least, they will discuss budget.
2. Design Presentation—after an initial consultation comes the design presentation. This is often one of the most fun and most exciting steps. During the presentation, Structurally Speaking will use leading technology to help you visualize the project. In addition, they offer a number of options, so you have a choice. All recommendations and options will be customized specifically for your home and vision. This way, clients can choose exactly what they want. This presentation even includes scaled drawings showing all elevations and viewpoints. So, you walk away with a very accurate idea of what is to come.
3. Project Construction—only after you’re ready does construction begin. Right from the beginning, Structurally Speaking will make sure it is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. So how do they accomplish this? To start, they believe in being thorough, respectful, and attentive throughout the entire project. Plus, they minimize intrusion so your family can carry on with your normal, everyday life.
