Screened and three-season porches — more usable months
A screened porch is the highest-value square footage per dollar you can add outdoors in Minnesota. It turns mosquito season into usable season and, with the right glazing, stretches from April to November.
What we build
- Screened porches on new or existing decks
- Three-season porches with convertible glass/screen window systems
- Four-season rooms on frost footings with full insulation and heat
- Screen enclosures under existing roofs and decks
- Motorized retractable screens
What it costs
| Type | Cost |
|---|---|
| Screen enclosure under an existing roof | $9,000–$22,000 |
| New screened porch with roof | $28,000–$62,000 |
| Three-season porch (convertible windows) | $45,000–$95,000 |
| Four-season room (insulated, heated) | $70,000–$140,000 |
See our sunroom cost guide for a full comparison of three- versus four-season builds.
Choose the right one. A three-season porch is dramatically cheaper than a four-season room because it does not need insulation, a heat source, frost-depth foundation in every case, or the same code compliance. If you want to use the space in January, build four-season. If you want April through October, three-season saves you $30,000+.
Screens matter too: standard fiberglass tears, pet-resistant mesh and no-see-um screening cost more and last much longer.

FAQ
How much does a screened porch cost in Minnesota?
$28,000-$62,000 for a new screened porch with a roof, $9,000-$22,000 to screen in under an existing roof, and $45,000-$95,000 for a three-season porch with convertible windows.
What is the difference between three-season and four-season?
A three-season porch is uninsulated with convertible glass or screen panels. A four-season room is insulated, heated, and built on a full frost-depth foundation — usually $30,000+ more.
How many months can I use a three-season porch here?
Typically April through October, and longer with a patio heater or infrared heat.
Can you screen in my existing deck?
Often yes, if the deck framing and footings can carry a roof. We evaluate structure first.
