How much is it to install a screened porch?

I want to install a screened porch in my backyard. Not too big, but big enough for a table and barbecue grill so I can sit in the back with some friends. Can someone give me an idea of how much? I just want to know if is even feasible. Thanks.


Answer:
This job could be on the cheap or a premium job for a nice house. I have specified screened porches 12'X16' over new deck from $20K to $50K. Recommend you engage a handyman for a cheap job, but a small construction firm may be required for a quality job. Some of the amenities you may want to consider:
- removable windows
- ceiling fan with lighting;
- finished floor suitable for wash down;
- the BBQ should be outside the confines of this enclosure;
- two clear green panels in roof;
- architectural treatment to match existing house;
- a small fireplace on the far wall;
- utility sink and drain; etc.
