Faqs - Frequently Asked Questions
Here are just some of the many ways homeowners are enjoying using there Lifestyle sunroom.
... just a great place to relax! As homeowners, we love nothing better than relaxing in our own backyards. Spending time enjoying the great outdoors is truly refreshing. But there are draw backs such as the blazing sun in the summer with potential damage from UV rays, rain, wind and temperatures that fluctuate throughout the seasons. And seasons that can be just too short. If we waited to enjoy the outdoors only on days that provided the perfect conditions, we could probably count the days we truly enjoyed the outdoor experience on one hand. The concept of the sunroom evolved out of our frustration with wanting to be outside, but having to deal with the outdoor elements which are not always to our liking. As a custom home improvement project the cost of a Lifestyle Sunroom can range from approximately $9,000 to over $30,000 depending on the room size, style, features and foundation needs. It’s never been easier to afford a sunroom with today’s lower interest rates, attractive refinancing options and special incentive and financing packages offered to the homeowners by many financing companies and banks. 4. Is there a return on my investment in buying a Lifestyle Sunroom? Homeowners choose a sunroom for the value and freedom it adds to their lifestyle, but a Lifestyle Sunroom is also a smart financial investment, adding tangible value to your home on resale. Sunroom additions rank in the top 7 home improvement projects, according to a recent Remodelors Council report. It adds more space to the home and increases the homes’ curb appeal on resale, helping the sunroom to return what realtors estimate as 70-100% of its original investment value, depending on location and other factors. A quality sunroom is the most important factor for determining if your sunroom will achieve a high rate of investment return. A quality sunroom also means that it will look good and last a long time, providing a lifetime of use for a one-time investment. 5. Why invest in a Lifestyle Sunroom? Among the many benefits and pleasures of owning a sunroom is making the most of the outdoors while eliminating almost all of the discomforts such as direct sunlight, inclement weather, insects and other drawbacks to being outside. A sunroom is also an attractive investment option over a traditional room addition (standard roof, studs, drywall, windows, and electrical, integrated heating/cooling systems). After the deck is complete, the sunroom can be assembled and installed in a couple of days at the most – compared to the weeks or more with a traditional room addition – at a fraction of the cost? Compared to an average cost of $50,000 or more for the standard room addition, the average Lifestyle sunroom can be built for approximately 10% or less of your home value. The sunroom brings the outdoors to you with a flexible space of your own for exercise, family recreation, relaxation, a spa, computer room, the list goes on. A sunroom is a healthy addition to a relaxing and stress-free lifestyle for the entire family. With a Lifestyle Sunroom, you’re investing in more than a sunroom…you’re investing in your health and family life. This should give you years of return on your investment and great peace of mind. 6. How long does it take to build the deck and my custom sunroom? We can be finished in approximately 4 days. 7. What if I already have an existing deck? Can we put a sunroom on it? You can definitely use your existing deck provided it complies with construction code and of course it has to be level. 8. Do I have to cut away or adjust my roof line? We do not have to adjust the roof line in most cases with studio style sunrooms. No they are installed at the factory in the roof
panels themselves. 10. How big does my property have to be to install the sunroom? In most cases, a 7 metre allowance is needed from the face of the sunroom to the property line. |
