Lounge in Luxury

Does anything say summer in Florida more than a screen room?  Forget the porch, stoop, and patio—the true face of outdoor luxury living in the Sunshine State is an exquisitely crafted and secluded outdoor screen room.  Whether you are entertaining guests, catching up on your reading, or even getting in some exercise, nothing compares to the comfortable living afforded by these outdoor lifestyle spaces.


Just in case that description doesn’t have you swooning at the idea of having your very own outdoor living room, here’s our list of the top four reasons why you need a screen room.

1. Like a Patio, but Elegant

There’s a certain alluring Americana to the image of the backyard patio and hosting neighborhood cookouts.  A screen room affords the same playful energy to any accomplished home, but with a more grownup sensibility.  You get the same sunshine and the breeze with the added benefit of protection from the elements. It’s time to ditch the concrete slabs and beach chairs and settle into a fully furnished outdoor living space, replete with beautifully tiled floors and real, comfortable seating.   A screen room is at once fun and exciting and also cozy and homey.  It’s the outdoor lifestyle with all of the creature comforts of home.

2. Increase the Value of Your Home

Screen rooms are a fantastic way to add value to your property.  Given that they are such an attractive feature, prospective buyers will be jumping to put in offers when they see the lifestyle that a screen room provides.  This isn’t speculation either.  The Nest has projected that screen rooms and similar home additions hold a 72% return in resale value, meaning that they have a very real dollar value to your property.  If it means selling your home more quickly, it can add even more value than that number suggests. This, combined with the years of enjoyment that you will get out of having your very own outdoor living space make a screen room worth every penny.

3. Expand Your Living Space

One of the things that we love most about screen rooms is the way that they open up your home and create what’s essentially an entirely new area to live in.  When the indoors isn’t quite where you want to be, a screen room affords you the luxury of a completely new place to occupy.  What’s more is that screen rooms are lovely to inhabit year round.  They provide a welcome respite from bugs in the summer, and with a couple of space heaters or a roaring fire, screen rooms become the perfect winter hideaway.  Whether you’re having a lively family dinner or getting some much needed alone time, a screen room expands your home in a truly unique way.

4. Customize to Match Your Lifestyle

Are you a social butterfly looking to make your home the default location for get-togethers with friends and family?  Are you perhaps on the introverted side and would rather curl up in a comfy chair next to the fireplace with a good book and a glass of wine?  Screen rooms are exactly the home addition that you’ve been waiting for, regardless of whether you’re the life of the party or the type who enjoys their peace and quiet.


Screen rooms can be constructed to accommodate all lifestyles.  They can be built with a
fireplace, an outdoor bar, a cozy breakfast nook, or even a swimming pool!  Whatever your speed is, a screen room can be built to match your pace perfectly.

Snap Judgements are Inevitable Selling your home can be a daunting task, but one of the most important things you can do to make it easier is to focus on the curb appeal. The term “curb appeal” refers to the positive impressions that potential home buyers have when they first see your house from the outside , from the curb. It’s one of the most important parts of getting the most out of the sale of your home and it’s often sadly overlooked. No matter how nice the insides of your home may be, potential buyers will make snap judgments about your house when they first pull up outside. So it’s essential that you spruce up the exterior of your house to make sure that everyone who drives by will have a good impression. Here are some reasons why having great curb appeal is so important when selling your house and how we can help.
