Screened porch and four-season room cost in the Ozarks (2026)
By Tyler Arnold, Owner, Big Chief Exteriors
A screened porch costs less than a four-season room because it needs no insulated walls or finished interior. Size, roof style and finishes decide the rest.
The short answer
Screened porches average $30 to $85 per square foot. Four-season rooms average $125 to $200.
Enclosing an existing patio is at the low end of each range. Building new from the ground up is at the high end.
