[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you get by with a screened porch? You could probably do a small one for $15k if you went with wood, $25k for composite.[/quote] There have been multiple threads lately started by people who (were shocked to) have gotten estimates for screened in porches in the $75,000 range. A screened in porch has to have a foundation and walls and a roof that all meet code, so it’s not that much cheaper than a finished room. Plus, builders are busy and all raw materials are much more expensive these days. Agree with pp that a small addition is not cost-effective, as the marginal cost of constructing each square foot goes down as the size increases. E.g., once you have the truck and workers there, pouring a 750 sq. ft. slab isn’t that much more than a 500 sq. ft. slab. Someone else asked this exact same question not long ago and got the same answer. [/quote]
