And when you choose Structurally Speaking, these porches can be whatever you want. Maybe your family likes to eat outdoors. Or, maybe outdoor game nights are what you want for your family. You could always go for the ultimate luxury with a hot tub. Structurally Speaking’s friendly experts can help determine the right size for your screened porch. Generally, the more you want to be outside and more you plan to entertain in the future, the bigger it will need to be.

A Screen Porch is the Right Choice

Summer months in North Carolina can be brutal. Not just the blazing sun and increasing humidity, but the bugs make going outside barely enjoyable. A perfect solution is a screened porch. This allows you to enjoy the outside nearly all year long without getting burned from the sun or bitten by the bugs. It is the best of both worlds. You get the beauty and peacefulness of being in nature without the negatives like mosquito bites.

With a screened porch, you won’t need to spray yourself with harmful chemicals to keep the bugs away. You also won’t need to pay for a recurring pest service because you will be protected. In addition to your new-found living space, you will be adding value to your property. By extending the footprint of your home, you can increase the value and equity all while enjoying all that North Carolina weather has to offer. By adding square footage, you will also have more room for entertaining and providing extra space for your family by adding an extra room to your home for a fraction of remodeling. Just imagine your furniture sitting in your new outdoor living space.

You can even customize your screened porch to meet your specific needs and desires. They can come with lighting, ceiling fans and other accessories. If you can imagine it, they can design and build it. The experts at Structurally Speaking can handle projects of any complexity, whether it’s a two-story extension or a porch with stairs.

If all you need is a small screened porch where you can sit and enjoy iced tea, they can do that too. Maybe a new rocking chair front porch with a screen door is what you’ve always wanted.

Relax While Staying Home

In these unknown and uncertain times, it seems that staying home is becoming more and more necessary.

What better way to relieve some of the intense stressors of troubling times than staying in the safety and comfort of your own home while sitting in a bubbling hot tub?

Just because the spa may be closed, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the massage of a great hot tub and the convenience of it being right outside on your back porch.

Enclosed Porch

In North Carolina’s Triangle area, we are lucky to enjoy moderate weather nearly all year and we also get to enjoy all four seasons. What better way to enjoy the beautiful weather than in a new outdoor room? A sunroom has all the benefits of a screen porch and then some. You can enjoy it year-round whether it’s raining, hot or cold outside. You get the benefits of the beautiful sunshine and Carolina blue sky without having to worry if it’s too hot or cold that day. You will stay cozy no matter the weather.

By adding a sunroom, you add temperature-controlled square footage to your home, which can dramatically increase your home equity and value. You can open all the doors or windows and feel the cool breeze, while still being protected from pesky bugs. There are so many ways to enjoy a new sunroom addition to your home. Imagine your next cookout or family get-together, all gathering in the luxurious comfort of sunshine and cool breezes. Just imagine placing your wicker furniture under the vaulted ceiling of your sunroom and basking in the glow of natural light! A sunroom counts as additional square footage for your home, as well, since it is another heated and cooled room.
