How do I enclose a porch into a patio for a sun room.

We lost our home in the May 22, 2011 tornado in Joplin, Mo and have been slowly building building back paycheck by paycheck. And a screened in patio is what I have always wanted.

It's quite a bit of work, but it will depend on if you want a full 4 season room, screened porch, etc.
Call in Window Companies for Price to do the job. Ask what would be required to do the job. and how long it would take and how many people would be doing it as well as the price. Then you will be able to decide if you want it done for you or you could do it yourself. They may also do supply only - Some large DIY's do, I know!
Cost wise starting with a prefab carport with hurricane straps might be a way to start. Often they are sold for about $800 to $ 1200 ans could be closed in as you can afford it. I’m so sorry you lost your home. Good luck.
So sorry to hear of your misfortune...hope building is coming along well and am excited that you are looking ahead. God bless you and yours.
God bless you, Brenda. Put the money for screening and other materials in an envelope until you think you have enough, plus 10% more for things that come up, then one more week’s savings for decoration. If your porch is covered and has posts to build from, you are thousands of dollars ahead. Read for more technical advice, but keep your budget where you can afford it. Best wishes ☺️
