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>

Q: Is a covered deck a good investment?

• <div><p>A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value&mdash;especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort. </p></div>

Q: Is an enclosed porch considered living space?

• <div><p>An enclosed porch can be considered a living space if it meets certain criteria. For instance, it must be completely enclosed with solid walls and a roof. It should also have a heating and cooling source similar to the rest of the home. Finally, the porch should have direct access to and from the interior of your house.</p></div>

Q: What can I use instead of lattice?

• <div><p>There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.</p></div>

Q: Can a Florida room be used year-round?

• <div><p>A Florida room doesn&rsquo;t have insulation, nor is the space heated, so in most cases, the room won&rsquo;t be comfortable enough to use during the winter months. A four-season room, which is like a Florida room that&rsquo;s insulated, heated, and cooled, is a better option if you&rsquo;re looking to enjoy your sunroom all year long. </p></div>
