Q: Can a deck be turned into a room?

• <div><p>Yes, transforming a deck into a sunroom is an absolute possibility. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sunroom-cost.htm">Building a sunroom</a> involves framing in the deck area with walls, adding windows, and affixing a roof. This project is not an easy task, but it does provide a stylish addition to your house. Not all deck designs support this type of renovation project, so consult a professional deck builder before beginning. </p></div>

Q: Do you need planning permission for a sunroom?

• <div><p>In almost all cases, you will need permits if you plan on building a sunroom over your patio, but regulations and requirements will depend on your municipality. Permits to enclose your patio will usually cost between<b> $300 and $1,000</b>. Since navigating local building codes and zoning requirements is challenging&mdash;and the consequences of not following them can be extremely expensive&mdash;we strongly recommend hiring a sunroom builder to complete the work and pull the permits for you.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of porches?

• <div><p>Several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-porch.htm">types of porches</a> are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Porticos</b> are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. </p></li><li><p><b>Sunrooms </b>are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. </p></li><li><p><b>Wraparound porches</b> extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.</p></li><li><p><b>Back porches </b>are an extension of the home&rsquo;s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of adding an enclosure to a property?

• <div><p>Increases living space and adds value to the home through enhanced utility.</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>

We had two walkways and a patio installed by this company. Their pricing is fair, they start when they says they will start, and the work is impeccable. I would highly recommend this company.
