[quote=Anonymous]Things that may influence cost:  
We did a Trex (or Trek like) floor.  I believe this was the item that had the most influence on price.
We have 2 skylights - this was important to get sunlight into the house.
How is the porch integrated into the house?  We have both a door that goes from kitchen and french doors that go from dining room.  French doors were expensive - but a design decision we made given how we use the space.
We have 2 heaters in the room.  One is over the eating space and one over the lounging space.  I am not sure of cost as it has now been 5 years.  We use the screened porch a lot.  On a day like today - we will have breakfast out there.  
You need a fan in the DC area.
We put up a curtain rod and have indoor / outdoor curtains to help with the sun.
It all depends on how you are going to use it - do not be penny wise - pound foolish.
This weekend - one of the kids might have friends over and watch a movie. 
We have power outlets and purchased a projector during COVID.  We put up a bedsheet over the curtains and project - the kids enjoy their space.[/quote]
