What Our Clients Want to Know
A 12×12 screened-in porch costs between $15,000 and $20,000 in the Birmingham, AL area. This includes demolition of the existing deck, properly sized footers, a new deck, the roof structure, roofing, and screening. Upgrades like a V-groove ceiling, timber framing, a fireplace, or custom lighting will increase the total cost.
The average cost is around $30,000 for a screened-in porch in Birmingham, AL, assuming the existing deck cannot be reused. Costs vary based on materials, size, and custom features, but most full builds require new footers, deck framing, and a roof structure that meet local building codes.
A Home Builders License is required to build a screened-in porch in Alabama. Other licenses do not require the same level of education or qualifications and are not permitted to complete residential projects exceeding $10,000. Hiring a licensed home builder ensures your project meets safety codes, structural standards, and local regulations.
Yes, a screened-in porch increases property value by adding usable square footage and helps sell a home faster than similar homes with outdated features. Not only does it enhance your home’s marketability, but it also provides a comfortable outdoor living space you can enjoy until you’re ready to sell.
Yes, a building permit is required to screen in an existing porch. The permit ensures a proper plan is in place for footers, joists, and rafters, following structural and safety codes. Inspections help protect homeowners from unqualified contractors and prevent costly mistakes or code violations.
In most cases, a full rebuild is recommended. If your deck is 10-20 years old, adding a new roof structure on top of aging framing is not ideal. Additionally, most existing decks do not have footers large enough to support a roof, and the framing may not be up to code. Every situation is different, so consulting a licensed contractor is the best way to determine what’s right for your home.
