Transform Your Backyard into a Year-Round Paradise with a Professional Sunroom Addition

Sunroom additions can be constructed in an existing covered patio or built as a new sunroom  addition.  A sunroom is a fantastic upgrade for any home. These are new air-conditioned spaces allowing  beautiful views of your backyard while being protected from outdoor nuisances like pesky insects, rain and harmful UV rays. Homeowners opt to add a house sunroom for various reasons:

* Relax and enjoy the backyard and nature views.
* Expand the living space of the home.
* Create an enjoyable space for entertaining.
* Establish a multimedia entertainment room.
* Set up a comfortable and functional home office.
* Build a secure play area for children.

The list of uses for a new sunroom is extensive, all centered around adding delightful living space to your home. The return on investment from adding a sunroom is assured. Simply divide the cost of your home by the total square footage and compare it to the cost per square foot of the new room; you'll discover that the expense of the addition is lower than the original purchase price. Not to mention the additional benefits of beautiful views and the convenience of extra space. The value of your home will undoubtedly increase.

There Are Three Types of Sunrooms

Florida Room

sunroom

Conventional Florida Rooms are constructed using traditional materials such as brick and mortar. The roof might be pre-existing, or we can build it flat or sloped with tile or shingle roofing. Our sunrooms can be constructed on either an existing or new concrete slab. Walls can be built with concrete blocks, wood, or steel studs. Typically, the exterior is finished with stucco to match the appearance of your house. The interior walls and ceiling can be made of drywall, wood, or any material you desire. Your currently A/C may be able to handle the additional air-conditioning load or you may have to add a new one. Our conventional sunrooms are completely customizable and tailored to your preferences.

Glass Sunroom

Aluminum sunrooms are fabricated using aluminum screen components. The roofs consist of flat tongue and groove panels. Onsite construction involves building walls with the same roof panels. Occasionally, exposed screws might be visible, holding the elements together. Windows can be made of acrylic (plastic) or impact glass. These structures can be installed on concrete slabs, as well as on paver decks. Both the exterior and interior finishes are usually aluminum panels, but they can also be stucco with drywall interiors.

Sunroom Additions

Prefabricated sunrooms also utilize aluminum tubes, but they are assembled in a factory setting. The walls are installed within openings, and the glass is glazed onsite. This means we are not installing pre-manufactured windows; instead, we are fitting glass into the modular openings created at the factory. There are no exposed screws in these structures. Roofs must either exist beforehand or be constructed before installing the aluminum frames and glass.

Sunroom Addition - Categories

Category 1 Sunroom

Roof covering of an outdoor space. This may or may not be enclosed with insect screening and considered non-habitable and unconditioned. The floor must be a minimum 4" above the ground. Building a simple screen room is a Category 1 sunroom addition.

Category 2 Sunroom

A roof covering of an outdoor space with walls. The wall openings can be enclosed with plastic windows (also known as acrylic windows). This is considered non-habitable and unconditioned. The floor must be a minimum 4" above the ground. There are commonly called "insulated aluminum" sun-rooms additions. The acrylic windows are placed within the aluminum metal supports. Not conventional material like wood or concrete block. The windows are rated for up to 75 mph. They are intended to be removed during high wind events (although most people don't). These are the most economical room. The cost increase to the next category is steep.

Category 3 Sunroom

A roof covering of an outdoor space with walls and windows that meet hurricane requirements. The windows can be non-impact with shutters or just impact. The cost for windows with shutters is about the same as impact windows. There is no reason to go that rout. The floor must be the same height as the finished floor in the home (not just 4" above grade like 1 & 2). Any doors or windows in walls shared with new space must remain. This is a not habitable and not conditioned sunroom addition. An egress light is needed.

Category 4 Sunroom

A roof covering of an outdoor space with walls and windows that meet hurricane requirements. The space will be heated and cooled separate from the home. We build these enclosures with mini split air-conditioners. The floor height must be equal to the finished floor in the home. This room is considered non-habitable and CONDITIONED sunroom addition. Any doors or windows in walls shared with new space must remain. Electrical outlet and egress light upgrade is needed.

Category 5 Sunroom

A roof covering of an outdoor space with walls and windows that meet hurricane requirements. This enclosure is designed to be opened to the home. Existing windows and doors are removed. The space is intended to be cooled or heated using the existing home system or a new separate one. Your home a/c may need to be upgraded or an additional a/c unit will need to be installed in the new sunroom addition. The floor height must be equal to the finished floor in the home. Electrical upgrades are needed. Wall outlets and an egress light must be added. This space is considered habitable and conditioned.

Some home owners want to enclose an existing patio that already has a roof.  They may want any of the following or more:

• Add a home Office
• Create a new playroom for children

Four Season Sunroom Builder

• Definition: Also known as a "three-season room" or "sun porch," it's a room that is enjoyed during three out of four seasons.

• Construction: They often use lightweight materials and are built for comfort during milder months.

• Definition: A fully integrated addition to a home designed for year-round use.
• Function: They are equipped with a heating and cooling system, making them a comfortable extension of your living space in all seasons.
