Hire a licensed contractor to determine what structural changes to the foundation will be required to construct the sun porch. Permits will need to be pulled, blueprints drawn up and approved, inspections scheduled, etc. Contact your insurance company as this will be considered additional "living space." Property tax will be reviewd too.

The most economical way is to have the deck screened in with mosquito netting on tracks....there are companies that sell these diy kits to do projects such as this if you cannot set your own posts and headers
I just did mine. The contractor did excellent work until he got to the finish work and I fired him. Now Hubs and Son will take down some of his work and redo it!
