Understanding Screen Room Costs in Evansville

How We Price Screen Rooms
We price screen rooms by the linear foot — not by square footage. A screen room is essentially a perimeter: four walls of framing and screen panels surrounding your patio or porch. The total linear footage of that perimeter determines your material and labor cost.
Our pricing:
Materials: $79 -89 per linear foot
Labor: $40–$45 per linear foot
Total: approximately $119–$134 per linear foot installed
Most patios in the Evansville area run between 40 and 80 linear feet. That puts a typical screen room between $4,760 and $9,920 for the framing and walls.
The Roof System Is Separate
Most customers add an insulated roof system, and it's priced independently at $36 per square foot installed ($29 materials + $7 labor). Here's the important detail: the roof is designed to overhang the screen room on all sides for proper weather protection, so it's always larger than the room footprint itself. A 12x12 screen room typically ends up with a roof around 160 square feet — adding approximately $5,760 to the total.
A realistic example — 12x12 screen room with insulated roof:
Item | Cost |
Screen room framing & walls | ~$5,000 |
Insulated roof system (~160 sqft) | ~$5,760 |
Total installed | ~$10,760 |
Price Ranges by Size
Screen Room Size | Screen Room Only | With Insulated Roof |
Small (~40 LF) | ~$4,760 | ~$8,500 |
Medium (~58 LF) | ~$6,900 | ~$11,600 |
Large (~80 LF) | ~$9,920 | ~$14,500 |

What's Included in Every Screen Room We Build
Every screen room uses aluminum framing. We don't use wood — aluminum holds up better in the Midwest climate, doesn't rot, and requires virtually no maintenance. Our screen rooms come backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Standard in every build:
Aluminum frame construction
Your choice of standard or pet-resistant screen mesh
One entry door
Professional installation
Limited lifetime warranty
What Can Add to the Cost
Several factors can influence the overall cost of your screen room. Here are some considerations:
Pet-resistant or solar screen mesh: This option is more durable but comes with a slightly higher material cost.
Additional entry doors: Each door adds framing and hardware, increasing the total cost.
Larger openings or irregular patio shapes: Non-standard layouts require more time and materials to frame.
Insulated roof system: This is priced separately at $36 per square foot installed.
What About Permits and Concrete Work?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. We recommend checking with your local building department before starting your project. If your patio needs concrete work or other prep before we build, we'll refer you to trusted local contractors we work with regularly — we focus on what we do best.
Is a Screen Room Worth It in Evansville?
Evansville summers mean mosquitoes, humidity, and heat. A screen room gives you your backyard back — without the bugs, without the sun beating down, and without retreating inside. We hear it from nearly every customer after installation: they wish they'd done it sooner. Beyond comfort, a professionally installed screen room adds usable square footage to your home and real appeal when it comes time to sell.
