The biggest factor in what a screened porch costs in Nashville is where you're starting from. Screening in a porch that already has a roof and floor is far less involved than building a new screened porch from the ground up. The figures below are general planning ranges to set expectations — not quotes. For an exact price, request a quote and a local provider serving Nashville will follow up.
Screened Porch Cost by Project Type
| Project type | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screen in an existing covered porch | $3,000 – $9,000 | Most affordable — the roof and floor are already there |
| Screen in an existing deck (add roof + screen) | $10,000 – $25,000 | Needs a new roof structure over the deck |
| New screened porch (built from scratch) | $18,000 – $45,000+ | Full foundation, framing, roof, and screen system |
| Three-season room (screens + windows) | $25,000 – $60,000+ | Windows and upgraded finishes over a screened base |
What Affects Screened Porch Cost
- Starting point: screening an existing covered porch is far cheaper than building new.
- Size: larger porches use more framing, roofing, and screen.
- Roof: tying a new roof into the house is a major cost on deck and new-build projects.
- Screen system: basic screen vs. heavy-duty or motorized systems.
- Upgrades: windows (three-season), flooring, ceilings, fans, and lighting.
- Permits: most new screened-porch structures require a Nashville permit.

Screened Porch Cost FAQ
How much does it cost to screen in a porch in Nashville?
If you already have a covered porch with a roof and floor, screening it in is the most affordable path — generally in the low-to-mid four figures up to around $9,000 depending on size and screen system. Building a new screened porch from scratch, with its own foundation and roof, costs considerably more. These are general ranges to set expectations, not quotes.
Is it cheaper to screen an existing porch or build new?
Screening an existing covered porch is almost always the least expensive option, because the structure and roof are already in place. Adding a roof over an open deck costs more, and a fully new screened porch is the most involved. A local provider can tell you which path fits your home after reviewing what you already have.
What does a three-season room cost compared to a screened porch?
A three-season room adds windows (and often upgraded flooring and finishes) over a screened base, so it costs more than a basic screened porch — often in the $25,000+ range for a new build. The upside is a space that stays comfortable further into the cooler months. A local provider can quote both options.
Do I need a permit for a screened porch in Nashville?
Adding a screened porch — especially a new structure with a roof — typically requires a permit in Metro Nashville-Davidson County. A local provider familiar with Nashville projects can explain the requirements for your specific porch when they follow up on your request.
