It’s beautiful, hot day outside. The sun is shining, the weather is perfect, and a slight wind is in the air. As you exit your house, you quickly remember the downfalls of hot days. The bugs begin to bite; you perspire within minutes. When you head inside, you catch a reflection of yourself in the mirror and find out you’re sunburnt. Sure, it’s great to immerse yourself in the elements sometimes. But wouldn’t it be awesome for you to enjoy some fresh air whenever you want without the going outside?
Then maybe it’s time for a screened porch from MilMar. We have a dedicated team with years of experience building porches in the greater Chicago, Southern Michigan, and Northern Indiana areas, and we’d love to be a part of your next project. After decades of constructing and designing pole barns across the Midwest, we’re taking our professional touch and Amish craftsmanship to helping homeowners create space, increase property value, and put their home improvement dreams to reality.
Here’s why screened porches are a great option for your backyard
Cost-effective Way to Add Square Footage. It might not be equivalent to adding a bedroom, but adding a screened-in porch is an excellent way to add space onto your house at a low price. Considering the interior of your porch is designed to withstand harsh weather, you can cut costs in materials by keeping the interior simple while giving yourself a beautiful, usable space.
Outdoor Dining Room. Cooking a family dinner in outdoor seasons is always nicer when enjoying some open air. With a screened-in porch, you can have a picnic setting without the pests, and be able to eat in an open air setting.
Second Family Room. Lounging on your screened-in porch can keep you closer to all the activity that’s happening outside. Operating on your porch can be an office, a place to sit with family – anything you want it to be while letting the sunlight shine through on your day.
No Bugs. Nothing’s worse than a few bugs spoiling the party. Bees, fleas, spiders. Screened-in porches can keep insects away while you’re outside, leaving you to do whatever you want in peace.
Impervious to Weather. A calm, soothing rainstorm doesn’t mean getting wet. Being able to enjoy the air without exposing yourself to inclement weather is another great advantage of screened-in porches. Also, when it get’s cold outside you and use it as a de facto refrigerator to keep food and beverages chilled.
No matter the reason, MilMar can help you build the perfect screened-in porch for your area. Contact us today for a consultation.
