Q: Does an Arizona room count toward square footage?

• <div><p>An Arizona room may or may not count toward your home&rsquo;s square footage, depending on local regulations and the specifics of the room, but generally does not get included in the total square footage.

Q: How many square feet does one sheet of plywood cover?

• <div><p>How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet.

"Eduardo, Bay Breeze Landscaping, and his team transformed my front yard from a patch of dirt to a lush lawn in just a few hours. I’ve lived in this SF house for 15 years and the lawn only looks nice (and certainly not this nice) during rainy season. Bay Breeze helped me determine the design plan, provided a trusted, reasonable quote to hire/manage/customize the plumbing required to install a sprinkler system, and in just a few hours dig up the current yard, add gopher barriers, install a hardwired automatic sprinkler system, and lay gorgeous high-end sod. I’m beyond happy and would recommend Bay Breeze Landscaping to anyone."

Patios questions, answered by experts

Yes, porches require foundations. The type of foundation required, however, is determined by the type and use of the porch. For example, a screened-in porch won’t require a new cement foundation. However, if you turn your porch into a sunroom or plan on making it a living space, then chances are you need a foundation that’s more permanent than piers and posts.

Yes, it can be worth screening a porch if you live in an area with beautiful weather, since it allows you to enjoy your outdoor space longer in the spring and summer. The additional protected space may even attract more prospective buyers if you intend to sell—especially if you add seasonal features, like a ceiling fan for summer or a heater to winterize your screened porch.

Whether it's better to add a sunroom or a regular room to your home depends on your goals. If you need extra bedrooms, building rooms with four standard walls makes more sense than adding a sunroom. If you don't need extra sleeping areas but would like to expand the living space of your home, a sunroom makes sense.

An Arizona room may or may not count toward your home’s square footage, depending on local regulations and the specifics of the room, but generally does not get included in the total square footage. In many locations, a room needs to be built to the same quality as the rest of the home, have an integrated heating/cooling system, and be habitable year-round to count toward square footage.

How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet. The cost to board up a window with plywood or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.
