The warmer weather is here and as we venture outdoors more, it's the perfect time to find ways to maximize the time we spend at home and outdoors! David Wilkinson from DW Screens, Middle Tennessee's premier screened room experts, share a few of the benefits and new ways to enjoy the outdoors in a year round capacity, from your own home!

Here are a few of the best reasons that a screened-in patio, porch or room may be the detail you need to really elevate and maximize your outdoor living space:

Affordability: Converting your existing patio, deck or open sunroom to a screened in, all-weather and year round living space is a more affordable option than rebuilding or adding on a new addition, and depending on the project, can be completed in days with minimal living disruption.

Protection from insects and pests: A screened-in porch allows you to enjoy the fresh air and outdoor views without being bothered by mosquitoes, flies, and other insects. It also provides a barrier against unwanted wildlife like raccoons or squirrels or other nuisances. You can finally say hello to dining on your back porch, enjoying the view, without those insects trying to steal a bite!

Increased living space: A screened-in porch can serve as an extension of your home's living space, allowing you to entertain guests, relax, and dine outside without having to worry about inclement weather or pests. It's a great place to read a book, have a cup of coffee, or simply enjoy the outdoors while preserving your interior home space for what it was intended for.

Added home value: A screened-in porch is a desirable feature that can add value to your home. It enhances your property's curb appeal and provides an additional selling point to potential buyers. It's an investment that not only enhances your quality of life but also increases the resale value of your home.
