Talk to the People Who Will Build Your Sunroom

Sunrooms go wrong when they are sold as one product. A three season room and a conditioned room are different builds, with different glazing, insulation and cost, and the wrong choice means a room that is unusable for months.

We ask how you plan to use it, then price the version that matches, rather than the version that quotes lowest.

    Sunroom Questions Homeowners Ask

    Before You Call Anyone, Read This

    This is the decision that matters most and we will give you a straight answer. Conditioned costs more and gets used in January and August. Unconditioned costs less and gets used in spring and autumn. Building an unconditioned room and expecting year round use is the most common disappointment in this category.

    In this climate, glazing with a low solar heat gain coefficient does most of the work. The wrong glass turns a south or west facing sunroom into a greenhouse no matter what the HVAC does.

    Yes. A sunroom is a room, and it needs footings and a floor system built like one. Kits set on an existing patio slab are where this category gets its reputation.

    Often, if the footings and framing are up to carrying a glazed enclosure. We check that before quoting, because the answer changes the price substantially.

    If it is built and conditioned as living space, it functions as a room. If it is a three season enclosure, it is a porch with glass, which is a fine thing to be but a different thing. We are clear about which one you are buying.

    Insulated and tied into the existing roof properly. A glass or panel roof looks appealing in a picture and drives the summer heat load through the ceiling.

    Yes, along with setbacks and any neighborhood exterior approval.

    Fixed and in writing, after we have looked at the site and settled the conditioning question. The visit is free.

    What a Sunroom Covers

    These are the pieces we price. The intended use decides which apply.

    Three Season or Conditioned

    Three Season or Conditioned

    Deciding this first, because it changes the glazing, the insulation and the price by a wide margin.
    Glazing

    Glazing

    Glass specified for an Alabama summer, with coatings that cut solar gain so the room is not unusable in July.
    Foundation

    Foundation

    Footings and a floor system built like a room, not a patio slab with walls stood on it.
    Roof

    Roof

    An insulated roof tied into the house, or glazed where you want the light and accept the heat.
    Heating and Cooling

    Heating and Cooling

    A mini split usually, since extending the main system into a glazed room rarely ends well.
    Permits

    Permits

    Drawings and permits, and the paperwork handed to you, since a sunroom is a structure.

    All Year

    Usable in January and in August

    The complaint about sunrooms is always the same: too hot in summer, too cold in winter, lovely for six weeks in spring. That is a specification problem, not an inevitability.

    Coated glass, an insulated roof and a small conditioning unit turn it into a room you use rather than a room you walk through.

    Light

    What It Does to the Rooms Behind It

    A sunroom on the back of the house can make the kitchen or den behind it noticeably darker if the connection is not planned. Sometimes the answer is a glazed roof section, sometimes it is a wider opening.

    We look at that before design, because it is the most common regret we hear about.

    Built Like a Room

    Not a Kit on a Patio

    Bolting an aluminium kit onto an existing patio slab is cheap and it shows. The slab was not designed to carry walls, and the joint at the house is rarely detailed properly.

    We build footings and a floor system for it, and flash the connection like the roof of a room, because that is what it is.

    Home Value

    Conditioned Space Counts, Glazed Boxes Do Not

    A permitted, conditioned, properly built sunroom can count toward the finished footage of the house. An unpermitted three season kit generally does not, and can raise questions at appraisal.

    Which you want is a legitimate choice, and worth making with the resale consequence in front of you.
