Relaxed living custom-built for you.
Sunrooms are a unique space, not quite indoors but not quite outdoors either. They offer the perfect room for you to create an oasis, a retreat, a comfortable place to sit back and relax. Studio Roof Sunrooms allow you to enjoy the beauty of the nature that surrounds you while protecting you from the elements of nature you don’t enjoy so much like rain, wind, pollen, and those pesky bugs. Adding a sunroom, also referred to as a patio room, adds valuable square footage to your home and costs less than conventional construction.
You are here looking for information, maybe even inspiration, so we know you already think sunrooms are amazing. We’ve got over 30 years of expertise and experience building custom sunrooms and we would like to share some of that knowledge with you so that you can make an informed decision about the best type of sunroom for your home and lifestyle.
We have three main sunroom options to choose from. Once you’ve made that first major decision, your new room can be further customized to suit your style.
There are many different elements that go into building the perfect sunroom. We have narrowed down the five parts of a sunroom that we feel are the most important components. These areas in a sunroom are the main pieces to look at to ensure quality and longevity in your new patio room.
We understand that choosing to add a sunroom to your home is a significant investment in both comfort and value.
