Q: What’s the difference between a sunroom and a solarium?

• <div><p>A solarium is built almost entirely out of glass, whereas a sunroom is built using other materials for the walls and ceiling, with some windows added to the walls and possibly a skylight in the ceiling. However, the sunroom uses significantly less glass compared to the solarium. The solarium may not hold heat as well as a sunroom when built in colder climates. A sunroom can use different materials for insulation, and heating and cooling systems can more easily supplement the energy gained from sunlight.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire to install a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-builds-screened-in-porches.htm">hire a professional to build a screened-in porch</a>, a local sunroom or porch contractor is your best bet. If you can't find a local sunroom builder, another option is to consider hiring a general contractor to perform the work. </p><p>If you're handy, you may consider building the porch yourself. Before you do so, make sure you understand the local permit requirements and building codes so that you don't have any problems with the safety or structure of the porch.</p></div>

Q: Are there any specific design considerations for an attached greenhouse?

• <div><p>When designing an attached greenhouse, several factors should be considered. These include the orientation and positioning of the greenhouse to maximize sunlight exposure, the structural integrity of the connection to the house, sufficient insulation to regulate temperature, proper ventilation for airflow, and adequate space for plants and pathways. If you&rsquo;re restricted because of your budget, go with a simpler design to maximize the use of your money.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a sunroom?

• <div><p>Building an average-sized sunroom typically takes between two and four weeks, depending on the features you choose. However, more elaborate or larger sunrooms can take up to six months from start to finish. The timeline depends on the type of sunroom you want to build and whether it's a retrofit or you're starting from scratch.</p></div>

Q: What is the best size for a sunroom?

• <div><p>While there is no one size that&rsquo;s considered best, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sunroom-size.htm">sunroom size</a> that&rsquo;s best for you will come down to the size of your home and how you want to use your sunroom. Smaller sunrooms under 120 square feet provide a nice semi-outdoor sitting area, medium-sized sunrooms between 120 and 200 square feet can house an outdoor dining area and a small area for additional seating, and large sunrooms over 200 square feet can serve multiple purposes and even include an outdoor kitchen. </p></div>

I had half a dozen contractors come to my house in the course of trying to stop the water coming into my sunroom, largely because I tend to overthink things and want second and third opinions, as well as to get a general idea of what contractors think and what the going rate is. Adrian Palazzi...

The project took much longer to complete than the estimated 6-9 days. In fact, it took nearly a month. On many days the contractor would not show up at all, and when he did show up it would often be after nightfall when he would have to work in the dark until 9:00 PM or later. We received...
