Do I need to have a clear idea of what I want before the first meeting?

Not at all. Most homeowners come in with a general sense, something like "a bigger outdoor space" or "something with a pergola," and we take it from there. We ask the right questions, show you examples, and build the 3D rendering around your answers. You don't need to walk in with blueprints, just a rough idea of how you want to use the space.

How many revisions can I make to the 3D design?

We work with you until the design is right. Our goal is to hand you a rendering you're genuinely excited about before we start building, so we don't rush that part of the process. Revisions are part of the service, not an extra charge or a source of friction. If the railing doesn't feel right or you want to try a different decking material, we adjust it.

Can the 3D design include features like pergolas, lighting, or an outdoor kitchen?

Yes, and we'd encourage it. The whole point of designing in 3D is that you can visualise the complete outdoor living space, not just the deck surface. Pergolas, deck lighting, patio areas, and other structural elements can all be incorporated into the rendering so you see exactly how everything fits together before a single post goes in the ground.

How long does the design phase take before construction begins?

Generally one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and how many revisions you'd like to make. More involved builds with multiple levels or additional structures take a bit longer to get right. Once you've signed off on the design, we schedule the build and get moving. The design phase is an investment that pays off in a smoother, faster construction process.

Screened-In Patios & Sunrooms in Indiana

Your backyard is practically begging you to spend more time in it, and we're here to make that happen.

Bring the Outside In Without the Bugs or the Rain

At Decks On Point, we’ve spent years helping Indiana homeowners turn underused outdoor space into their favorite room in the house.

A screened-in patio or sunroom does something that a regular deck or open porch can’t: it gives you fresh air, natural light, and a genuine connection to the outdoors, without the mosquitoes crashing the party or a summer storm cutting the evening short.

Indiana weather has its own personality. Humid summers, unpredictable springs, and those in-between weeks where you genuinely can’t tell what the day’s going to do.

A screen enclosure or sunroom lets you work with that. You stop checking the weather app before you sit outside. You just go out there.

We’ve built screened-in porches and sunrooms for all kinds of homeowners across the state, and what surprises people most isn’t the finished look. It’s how much they actually use it. It becomes the second living room they never knew they were missing.

Screened-In Patio vs. Sunroom

Not sure which one fits your life better? Here’s a quick breakdown:

Feature	Screened-In Patio	Sunroom
Fresh airflow	Yes, open screens	Limited, climate-controlled
Year-round use	3-season typically	4-season possible
Natural light	Good	Excellent
Cost	Lower	Higher
Installation time	Faster	Longer
Insulation	Minimal	Full walls and windows
Best for	Enjoying the outdoors bug-free	A true extra room

If you love the gentle breeze and want to keep costs reasonable, a screened-in porch is your answer. If you want a room you can use in January with a cup of coffee, a sunroom is worth the investment.

How Much Does a Screened-In Patio or Sunroom Cost in Indiana?

Let’s be real about it: every project is different, and that’s actually a good thing.

Most screen enclosures and screened porch projects start around $12,000 and go up depending on the size, materials, and custom features you want. Sunrooms, because they involve windows, walls, and proper insulation, typically run much higher.

Here are five things that move the needle on cost:

Size of the space: Bigger footprint means more materials, more labor, and more time. A small screened deck off a bedroom is a different project than a wraparound porch enclosure.
Screening material: Standard aluminum screen and pet screen differ in price and durability. If you've got dogs or kids, the upgrade is usually worth it.
Existing structure: Working with an existing covered porch cuts costs significantly. Building from scratch on a bare patio adds foundation and framing work.
Doors and windows: The number of entry doors, screen doors, and whether you add windows for a three-season room or four-season sunroom affects both materials and installation time.
Custom features: Wood detailing, a built-in fireplace, decorative curtains, or specialty flooring all add to the total, but they're also what make the space feel like yours.

Your project will have its own variables. Contact us with the specifics, and we’ll put together an accurate quote for you.

Choosing the Best Screening Material for Your Patio

The screen you choose matters more than most people expect. Here’s what to know:

Standard Aluminum Screen. Affordable, great airflow, does the job. Best for mild-use porches without pets.
Pet Screen. Seven times stronger than standard screen. Worth it if your dog thinks the porch is a launch pad.
Solar Screen. Cuts glare and UV exposure. Useful on south or west-facing porches that get hammered by afternoon sun.
No-See-Um Screen. Tighter mesh that blocks tiny insects. Great for properties near water or wooded areas.
Screen Tight Systems. A spline-based system that creates a clean, finished look and makes future screen replacement much easier.

Reach out, and we’ll help you pick the right material for your situation.

Budget and Timeline

We know construction can feel like a big commitment, not just financially but logistically. You’re opening up your home, your schedule, and your trust to a crew, and that means something to us.

Budget

Think about it this way: if a screened-in patio costs $15,000 and you use it for 15 years, that’s roughly $3 a day for a space you’ll use constantly. That’s less than your morning coffee, and it adds real value to your home.

Timeline

We run tight schedules, and we mean it. Screened-in porches typically wrap up faster than people expect, and we communicate with you throughout. We show up, we do the work, and we leave your property clean when we’re done. Construction doesn’t have to be chaos.

3-Season vs. 4-Season Sunroom

Here’s how these two types of sunrooms compare:

If you’re on the fence, think about how you live in winter. If you hibernate indoors anyway, a three-season room might be all you need. If you want a room that works in February, go four-season.

FAQs About Screened-In Patios and Sunrooms in Indiana

Can I add a screen enclosure to my existing porch or patio?

In most cases, yes. If you have an existing covered porch or patio, that’s actually the most cost-effective starting point. We assess the structure, make sure it can support the enclosure, and build from there. If you’re starting from scratch, we can do that too. Either way, we’ll tell you exactly what’s involved before any work begins.

How long does a screened-in porch installation take?

For a standard screened porch on an existing structure, most projects wrap up within a week or two. Larger builds or sunrooms with windows and insulation take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic guess that falls apart mid-project.

What's the difference between a screened-in porch and a sunroom?

A screened porch uses porch screen or pet screen to keep bugs out while letting fresh air in. It’s typically a three-season space. A sunroom uses glass or polycarbonate panels and insulation to create a year-round room. Both are great options depending on how you plan to use the space and what your budget looks like.

Do screened-in patios add value to a home?

They do. Buyers love usable outdoor living space, and a well-built screen enclosure signals quality and care. It’s one of those features that makes a home feel more livable, and that shows up in how buyers respond to a property. Our lifetime warranty doesn’t hurt the pitch either.
