Big Supporter of screening the front porch. We have a Lantana and did it for a very reasonable price. When the humidity is down, you can open teh front door and back sliding windows and have great cross ventilation. Although their may be few bugs they are there. Moreso we were getting mud wasps nesting in the porch area and that problem has gone away. The dog has a great view with the front door open...life could not be better.

One recommendation I would suggest you get a door with a 'piano" hinge on it..stronger door and less likely to get damaged with any wind. Also since the electric outlet plug is most likely in the screened area, see if the installer has a way to provide an opening to let you use that plug when you may need it say for Christmas lights or something similar where you dont want the front screen door always cracked open.
