Really?

I need ground prep and concrete base. 3 walls with aluminium posts and mesh with single screen door. A single roof in the continuation of our existing roof. Electric installed for fan and light. No fireplace, hardwood, fireplace, gizmos, etc.[/quote]

It’s basically an addition because of the requirements for the roof. Indeed, most people eventually just enclose them anyway.[/quote]

Not really -  if it's essentially a screened patio, there's no insulation, no drywall, no flooring, minimal painting because no walls... If contractors are charging $70K for that type of work, I don't believe you. But I can believe that some close-in luxury contractors might not accept such a humble project, or they'd mark it up just because they're looking for bigger things.

NP - agree with the first poster - you should do your research. we did ours 8 years ago and were floored at the cost compared to a deck we did, but zoning requirements are stricter.  Once you add a roof, it’s a different anima, regardless of drywall/insulation etc. It’s basically the same as if you put up a 3season room.[/quote]
