Q: Can a deck support a sunroom, and what are the foundation requirements?

• <div><p>Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.</p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of a solarium?

• <div><p>A solarium is a luxury addition to a home and can be an excellent breakfast area or reading space, but that doesn't mean there aren't disadvantages. For one, since the room is made of glass it can look dirty very quickly. Another disadvantage is solariums are notoriously hard to balance temperature and will most likely significantly increase your heating and air conditioning bill. Unlike a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/greenhouse-addition-to-house.htm">greenhouse addition to a house</a>, a solarium won&rsquo;t help you grow as many plants.</p></div>

Q: Should you add a sunroom or a regular room?

• <div><p>Whether it's better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sunroom-vs-room-addition.htm">add a sunroom or a regular room</a> 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.</p></div>

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. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-remove-one-window-fill-plywood.htm">cost to board up a window with plywood</a> or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s more permanent than piers and posts. </p></div>

"Juan Moreno responded very quickly to our request to have an extension to our patio poured. He came out to our house the next morning, gave us a fair price and by about 2:00 the next day the job was complete. It all happened very fast. He and his helper even filled holes around my yard with the excess dirt and grass. The patio extension looks great. I highly recommend his services."
