Q: How much is a sunroom? | A: It is difficult to estimate a "ballpark" figure. All R&R Sunrooms are custom built specifically for your home. The cost of a sunroom depends on the style, the size, the materials that you choose, the on-site prep work involved, and the options. According to the Remodeling Magazine a wise sunroom investment can be determined with the following formula: Take the current value of your home and divide it by the number of "usable rooms" (Not to include bathrooms, closets, and utility rooms). This will give you the average cost per room on your home. Your sunroom investment should equal the value of one room and not be more than 28% above that value. This will insure you do not "overbuild" for your neighborhood. Our professional sunroom designers can quickly come up with a recommended design and estimate to fit your situation. |
|
Q: Where can my sunroom be built? | A: Sunrooms can be built on an existing footed concrete slab or deck, patio, porch, or almost any other location next to or underneath a pre-existing structure. A footed concrete foundation can be poured over most patios to accommodate construction. On existing decks, our sunroom designers can determine if up-grades are "cost effective" or if a new wood foundation would be recommended. |
|
Q: Can I install it myself? | A: R&R Sunrooms recommends that factory trained personnel install our products. Poor installation can lead to water leaks and structural failures down the road. The number one priority in the installation of your sunroom is safety, therefore you should only use an experienced professional who is familiar with our products and local building codes. |
|
Q: Will I need a building permit? | A: Our sunroom designers will help you determine what permits are necessary to comply with local building codes. |
|
Q: What type of glass is used? | A: We offer single, double and even tripple pane windows. Our energy efficient "High Performance" glass lines include Low E2, Smart Glass, Solarban, AC Master, Energy Master, Thermal Master, and Armor Glass. R&R Sunrooms also offers anealed, tempered, and even laminated glass that is safer and more shatter resistant than regular residential glass. Your sunroom designer will make recomendations for the best glass for your situation and budget. |
|
Q: What kind of maintenance is necessary? | A: Our Sunrooms are designed to be easily maintained. The glass can be cleaned with any household glass cleaner. The structure may need a periodic cleansing with a mild household detergent and water solution to remove pollutant build-up. In the case of mildew buildup (usually in spots with no direct sunlight), a mild mildew remover can be used. In addition, Branstrator & C-Thru Sunrooms feature water drainage "weep holes" which must be kept clean to avoid becoming clogged. |
|
Q: Will my sunroom stand up to severe weather? | A: Yes. R&R Sunrooms are designed to meet various snow loads and wind loads for our region. Our rooms will also meet the engineering requirements needed to comply with local building codes. |
|
Q: What is the warranty on your sunrooms? | A: All of our sunrooms carry a Lifetime Limited Materials Warranty and a 20-year warranty on glass seals, which is one of the best in the industry. |
