These additions enhance your home's livability and comfort, increase property value, and offer an ideal spot for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying natural light.

  • The main difference is that a porch isn’t finished square footage, while a sunroom generally is. Where a porch will have screens or a retractable window system, a sunroom will have windows, finished flooring such as hardwoods, and will have drywall, trim and paint to match the interior of the home. Typically a sunroom will also have HVAC installed in the form of a vent from the home, or a minisplit single room HVAC system.

  • There are several options that can greatly enhance your porch experience. Electric or gas ceiling mounted heaters come at a lower cost point than a fireplace, and generally do a much better job at heating the space, allowing you to enjoy it almost year round. A quality composite deck material like Trex or Timbertech is an added cost but is comfortable on the feet, won’t splinter or warp, and takes minimal maintenance. Lastly, quality screens are an excellent investment in keeping pesky bugs to a minimum.

  • A porch addition that ties in easily to the home and doesn’t incorporate any premium details (fireplace, outdoor kitchen, etc) should take 8-10 weeks. A porch that includes premium features, has a high level of complexity due to the lot or tying in to the house, or has a high level of finish required will typically take 12-16 weeks.

  • Yes, you can generally live in your home during the porch or sunroom addition renovation, as long as the layout of the home allows for clear dividing of living and construction space, and there isn’t significant impact to the roofline.
