What Does a Screen Room or Sunroom Cost in Northwest Florida?

A screen room or sunroom is one of the best ways to enjoy Florida’s weather without the bugs and heat. Here is what each one costs in our area and how to pick the right one for your home.

Screen room vs. sunroom — what is the difference?

A screen room (or screened porch) uses screen panels to keep bugs out while letting the breeze through — great for our climate and easier on the budget. A sunroom uses glass windows, so you can use it year-round in any weather, and it can be climate-controlled.

What they cost

Price depends on the size, whether we are building on an existing slab or porch, the roof style, and the window or screen system you choose.

Things to think about

• Foundation — adding onto an existing slab or deck costs less than pouring new.
• Roof — tying into your existing roofline versus a standalone cover.
• Use — if you want to use it in July and January, spend on a real sunroom; if it is for spring and fall evenings, a screen room is the smart buy.

We build it to the Florida Building Code, including wind requirements, so it holds up. See our decks and outdoor living services.
