Why You Should Install a Screen Room

In South Georgia, it's no secret that we love to spend much of our time sitting on our porches. Porches are more than just a setting; they serve as a way for us to enjoy our morning coffee, chat with neighbors or simply take in nature surrounding us. 

While this is a favored Southern pastime, it can be difficult to enjoy our porches in the Summer – especially with the rain, heat and bugs that invade our treasured space. 

However, screened porches may help mitigate these problems. Let’s dive into what makes them so great and why they might become the newest addition to your home.

Screen Rooms Keep out Debris and Pests

Because of their design, the mesh wiring helps keep out unwanted debris like fallen branches, leaves and gum balls. Due to storms and winds, plant debris tends to make its way onto our porches. 

Debris cleanup can be a hassle during Summer when thunderstorms are prevalent in the South. By installing a screen room, you can protect your porches from damage and make cleaning up much easier. 

In addition to filtering out unwanted debris, screen rooms keep out pesky bugs. This is especially important when mosquitoes fill the air in Summer, looking for their next victim. 

Screen Rooms Keep it Cool During Warmer Months

Because of their design and dark coloring, screen rooms provide homeowners shade from the Summer sun, allowing them to sit outside longer than they would normally be able to in the warmer months.

And although the mesh is small enough to keep out bugs, it's not so dense that air can’t flow freely. This is a great advantage for homeowners who want to enjoy some fresh air without having to sit directly in the sun or in a closed-off sunroom.

Plus, the design isn’t just beneficial for humans. Pets also love screen rooms, as they can enjoy being outside with their owner without sweltering in the heat.

Screen Rooms Increase Your Home’s Property Value

Screen Rooms are a great addition to your home since they increase its property value. These types of rooms expand a home’s square footage, which in turn, positively impacts its resale value.

These types of rooms can also be customized to fit the aesthetics of the home, increasing curb appeal, and contributing to the home’s overall property value.

What’s the process like for installing a Screen Room?

The process is relatively easy - especially with our team at Colonial Gutter Solutions. We’ll start by assessing the current condition of your porch, which will give us a better understanding of the materials and design needed to successfully complete the project. 

Next, we'll work with you to determine which framing materials and screen types are best for your home. Once the details of the design are ironed out, installation can begin. Check out this link here to see some of our completed projects at Colonial Gutter Solutions.
