Create an Indoor Outdoor Area to Enjoy

Wouldn't it be nice to sit outside, sipping your cold beverage in the hot summer or your hot beverage during the cold winter, but yet, not be outside? If that sounds like a confusing statement, think about the idea of enclosing your deck or porch and how nice it could be. You'd be outside the confines of your home, yet not exposed to the elements.

Just a simple place to sit and relax as you watch the traffic go by or watch the birds and squirrels run around your yard ... without having to hose off the lawn furniture or worry about pesky mosquitoes bothering you. An enclosed porch with screened windows can give you just that. It would be year-round, all season room of sorts.

Sit on your enclosed deck or porch and with 4-track screen porch windows, you can enjoy the fresh air just about any time of the year. What a wonderful way to pass the time when there is nothing on television and nothing on the internet but politics!

If you are a DIY-er, you can probably do this yourself and if you aren't a quality contractor with experience can do this for you and it may not be as expensive as you think. After all, the space is there already, you simply just need a few screen porch panels installed and a screen door maybe. The door could be optional unless you have indoor pets or small children to keep in. Or you want to make sure you keep other critters out of your new sanctuary.

Dormers – One Way to Make More Space

Adding dormers to your home is more than just giving your home a new look, but the conversions can also increase the square footage of your home. It is one of the best ways to utilize that unused roof space and without requiring a huge budget and most popular among those with bungalow or terrace styled houses. By adding dormer space to your home, you can add more than just the space, but you also add value to your home.

Depending on the size of your attic will depend on how much more room dormers will give you. This is an area a professional construction team can advise you. You may only enough room for one bedroom with two dormers added or you may have an attic large enough to add two rooms with one dormer window each.

However, it is not something that the average homeowner can do themselves, because it is a construction process. Among getting building permits from the local governing body where you live, but the logistics of whether or not your home can handle that extra weight. It takes a professional like Dun-Rite Roofing to verify your home is a good candidate for adding dormers and that living space. Even you just want the dormer window look, there is still a good amount of construction involved.
