Is a sunroom less expensive than a room addition?

• <div><p>Building a sunroom is usually less expensive than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-home-additions-cost.htm">cost of building a home addition</a>, but it depends on the type of sunroom. A four-season sunroom will cost more than a home addition because it’s basically a home addition with larger, more expensive windows. All other types of sunrooms will be more affordable than a home addition of an equivalent size because they don’t have insulation, heating, cooling, electrical connections, or plumbing.</p></div>

Does an enclosed porch need a foundation?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to winterize a screened porch?

• <div><p>The cost of winterizing a screened porch can vary depending on the chosen method and the extent of the modifications required. Simple options like installing vinyl panels or using vinyl sheeting tend to be more affordable, while creating a four season room can involve higher costs due to renovation expenses. It's best to consult with professionals or obtain multiple quotes to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.</p></div>

Q: Do sunrooms count as living space?

• <div><p>Sunrooms can count as a living space&mdash;and therefore count toward your home's square footage&mdash;if they are properly insulated and equipped with electrical and HVAC access, as in the case of a four-season room. However, in many cases, three-season sunrooms that function more as enclosed porches will not get included in the square footage count and fall into the exterior living space category.</p></div>

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. 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. </p></div>

Sean and company went out of their way to build custom concrete forms that were necessary for the custom raised concrete patio we asked for. They also stayed late to recover from a random turtle walking right through the driveway they had just poured and smoothed. Great work and timely!
