What better way to soak in the southern California sun than with a sunroom?! Sunrooms are great for bringing a little bit of the outdoors inside and making your space feel one with nature. Adding a sunroom to your Pasadena home can improve both your quality of living and your home’s market value. Here’s what you should consider before getting started with this project.
Understand the maintenance costs
Chances are, you’re looking forward to spending a lot of time in your sunroom. So, you’ll have to be prepared for more space to clean and maintain. But not only do you have to consider the interior, but also the exterior, too. Since sunrooms have so many windows exposed to the elements, you’ll need to ensure they stay clean and free from dirt and debris. You should also account for any nearby trees that could pose a threat to your windows during inclement weather.
Choose a 3-season or 4-season sunroom
One of the most important decisions you’ll make in the sunroom journey is choosing what type of sunroom you’d like. A 3-season sunroom is suitable for spring, summer, and fall. These usually have single-pane windows and tend to be the less expensive choice. On the other hand, a 4-season sunroom works all year round and usually cost a little more because they have heating and cooling systems.
Get the right permits
No matter what type of sunroom you choose, you’ll need to obtain a permit. This is required for all kinds of sunrooms, whether they are prefabricated or constructed from scratch. You’ll have to submit a project drawing and then wait for approval, which generally takes 10 — 15 business days, although it could take longer. Once the permit is approved and your sunroom is completed, the last step will be a post-project inspection.
Let the sunshine in
Sunrooms make excellent additions to your home for a whole host of reasons. If you want to enjoy the outdoors without stepping foot outside your door, then a sunroom might be perfect for you. Call Creative Innovation Developers and let us build you the sunroom of your dreams.
