How much does a sunroom cost? A Solarium/Skylight Inc. sunroom often requires less investment than a conventionally constructed room addition. A sunroom is a cost-effective solution to creating more living space and because Solarium/Skylight Inc. is the Northwest's leading installer of sunrooms, we can extend our volume discounts to you. Most sunrooms can be figured on a per square foot basis, however, much depends on individual selections that you will need to make before a firm estimate can be submitted. How long does a sunroom take to install? From the time we begin installation, most projects take less than two weeks to complete, once finishes are selected, glass is specified, schedules are determined and plans are approved. How is a sunroom built? Once the design of your project is completed, your order is placed. The factory prepares materials specifically for your project, while at the same time site preparation is taking place at your home. Materials are then delivered to the site and installation of your sunroom is completed quickly and efficiently. What about the hassle of construction? Forget the idea of traditional construction. Solarium/Skylight Inc. sunrooms are manufactured to your individual specifications and delivered to your home in kit form. Installation causes minimal disruption (debris, dust, etc.), and generally require few significant modifications to your home. Will it add value to my home? The 2001 National Association of Remodelers survey reports that a sunroom retains 98% of its value. In comparison, a swimming pool maintains only 30%, and a family room addition just 70% of their value. Also, a Solarium/Skylight Inc. sunroom comes with a (warranty information) that is fully transferable when you sell your home. Will my sunroom get too hot or too cold? Solarium/Skylight Inc. glass has an exclusive multi-coating, which contains nine different microscopic metals and compounds. In the summer, this allows beneficial natural light to flow into your sunroom, while reducing the entry of harmful ultra violet rays. In the winter, argon gas that is sealed within the dual paned glass prevents heat loss, and creates a comfortable, energy-efficient environment. Can I have a sunroom installed under an existing roof? Yes! In most cases, if a roof is sound, and local codes permit it, we can utilize existing structures such as carports, breezeways and porches. How can I be sure the sunroom will fit the look of my house? We provide custom design capabilities that will mean our sunroom will complement the appearance of your home, taking into consideration rooflines and pitches (angles) as well as color and materials. What is the ordering process? 1) We come to your home for measurements and a design session 2) Our finance team goes to work (if applicable) 3) Your custom room materials are requested from the factory 4) The materials are delivered 5) Construction begins (Duration: 1 to 2 weeks) 6) Final inspection Will my Sunroom hold up in heavy snow conditions? Yes! Solarium/Skylight Inc. Sunrooms will meet the snow load requirements established by your local building departments. All structural components are reviewed by our engineers during the design process of your sunroom. I am a "Do-it-yourself" type person. Can I install the unit myself? This question is difficult to answer. The homeowner is always faced with a series of obstacles, such as lack of qualified help, difficulties with site preparation, and also not having all the necessary tools and supplies to work with glass. You may be able to install the unit yourself, but plan on spending about 2 to 3 times the amount of time it would take a professional installer - and there's always the possibility of breaking that expensive Low-E glass. Why not avoid the frustration? Let an experienced team do the work for you in a timely and cost efficient manner. Could I put a hot tub or spa in a Sunroom? Yes, and what a great idea! There are, however, a few considerations that should be discussed in the design phase. |
