As a homeowner, there are many different ways to add potential value to your home while simultaneously making the most of your property. If you're thinking of increasing the square footage and overall property value of your home, consider the option of investing in a screen room enclosure. For less than approximately $3,000, it's possible to invest in a screen room enclosure for additional outdoor living space, according to Angi. A screen room enclosure provides numerous benefits in addition to helping to boost your ROI.

What Is a Screen Room Enclosure?

Before investing in a new addition or enclosure for the home, it's important to familiarize yourself with all of your options. If you are searching for a way to enjoy your yard while remaining protected from pests and the weather, a screen room enclosure might just be the perfect option for you. Some of the most notable defining characteristics of a screen room enclosure include:

• Screening: Screen room enclosures are designed to prevent the infestation of pests while protecting the inside of your enclosure from the elements outdoors.
• Roof styles: Choosing a unique roof style can help to set your enclosure apart while also adding value to the space.
• Amenities and features: With any screen room enclosure, it's also possible to install additional amenities, such as the ability to use a hot tub or an outdoor spa. Installing electrical wiring is often possible inside of a screen room enclosure, depending on your location and the type of enclosure you require.

As you can imagine, screen room enclosures are as varied as the properties they live on. That said, the payoff will be great no matter what type you choose. Here are just a few of the many benefits you can enjoy after you install a screen room enclosure on your property.

Additional Space

For such a minimal investment, when it comes to adding space to a home, a screen room enclosure is ideal. Screen room enclosures add additional functional space. Functional space is not only appealing while living in the home but it's also a way to appeal to prospective buyers once you list your home on the open market. Increasing the overall square footage of your home is possible by investing in an enclosure, which will result in an increase in your home's appraisal value.

Additional Outdoor Privacy

Another reason to consider investing in a screen room enclosure is the ability to increase the privacy you have whenever you spend time outdoors. Additional outdoor privacy is extremely attractive to those who are in the market for a new home, especially if you live in a dense neighborhood. With the ability to relax outside without sitting in direct sunlight, you can do so even during the busiest times of the year.

Designated Entertainment Space

Crafting a designated outdoor entertainment space can also add value to your home once it's on the market, especially if you invest in amenities that are necessary for the space. Whether you plan to host barbecues or watch sporting events outdoors, the proper electrical and gas hookups will also be required. This can add value to your home while simultaneously demonstrating just how the screen enclosure can be put to use when entertaining others and spending time in your yard.

You can also use the newly added space as an outdoor dining area. Creating an outdoor dining space is another way to appeal to new prospective buyers who are searching for additional unique areas outside of their homes. Just about everyone loves to eat, so who wouldn't love a nice place to do so? Finish off the space with some ambient outdoor lighting to ensure the mood is right for dinners in every season.

Protection From Weather and Natural Elements

A key element to consider when investing in a screen enclosure room outdoors is the material used for the enclosure itself. Investing in a screen enclosure room is highly recommended if you're looking for a way to spend time outdoors without the risk of being rained or hailed on. A screen enclosure room is ideal for those who live in climates that have seasonal weather or locations with natural disasters and increased amounts of rain. Screen enclosure rooms are extremely appealing to those who enjoy spending time outdoors without being negatively impacted by the surrounding weather.

Protection From Pests

A surprising advantage of a screen room enclosure that connects to your home is the best protection that it offers. Most screen room enclosures today are designed and developed with pest control in mind. Using the proper materials and tools, the screen room enclosures built today are designed to prevent the potential infestation of many different pests, regardless of the region and climate you live in. Protecting your home from spiders, roaches, flies, and other pests is key to maximizing enjoyment whenever you spend time in your yard.

In some regions, protecting from amphibians, scorpions, and other potentially dangerous pests is also possible with a screen room enclosure designed with pest control in mind. With a variety of screen materials to choose from and sealants, there are many different options available on the market when it comes to investing in a screen room enclosure today. Before choosing a screen room enclosure that's ideal for your home, consider the climate, temperature, and type of pests you need to keep at bay.

Space for Hot Tubs and Outdoor Spas

Installing hot tubs and outdoor spas within your screen room enclosure is another way to appeal to homeowners who are interested in a relaxation room. By having a hot tub or outdoor spa installed inside of your screen room enclosure, you're also demonstrating that the proper hookups are readily available for future owners, which will help to increase the intrinsic value of the space.

Pet and Child Safety

Having a screen room enclosure can also provide an increase in safety for your children and pets. This is especially true in yards that aren't fenced in or on properties that have extensive amounts of land. Using a screened-in room enclosure to allow your children to play and your pets to relax can appeal to those who are uninterested in investing in a fence or additional security in their own yards.

Improved Livability and Functionality

With improved livability and functionality, screen room enclosures are extremely valuable, especially for individuals who enjoy spending time in their yards as well as outdoors. With the ability to drastically increase the square footage of your home at a fraction of the cost of a second-story addition, screen room enclosures are one of the best investments one can make as a homeowner.

Learning about the benefits the screen room enclosures have to offer can help you to determine if an enclosure is right for your home and property. With the right screen room enclosure, make the most of the property you have available while adding significant value and curb appeal to your home. Are you considering a screen room installation?
