There’s no better time than today to turn your home into your dream home. Adding a sunroom will enhance your home by bringing the beauty of the outdoors indoors. But before you call just any central California home improvement contractor, you must first make sure that you have the following important questions answered:

Do you have a view of the outdoors that you would like to showcase indoors?

Whether your view is the serene ocean off the San Luis Obispo coast, the towering mountains east of Porterville, or the wondrous city lights of Bakersfield, there’s a sunroom design that can be customized to showcase any landscape. Or, perhaps you have a landscaped yard or swimming pool that would make a lovely backdrop to your kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom.

Step outside and walk around your home to see which side of your house offers the grandest views. Having one or two location options for your new room addition will help you decide on a model of sunroom, conservatory or solarium and its dimensions.

What is your reason for building a sunroom?

As they say, there’s a reason for everything. It is important to know why you want to build a sunroom, aside from the fact that you want to realize your dream home, because it will help you determine many other important considerations.

Do you want to have a room where you and your family can relax, sun bathe, and star gaze? Do you want a impressive room addition for entertaining or meeting with clients? Or how about the ultimate home gym or serene location for meditation?

A sunroom can be customized for any use so it’s a good idea to figure out your reason for adding living space and how you are to use it before you speak to a sunroom designer.

What type of sunroom are you looking at?

There are plenty of sunroom designs and, chances are, you haven’t seen them all. Before finalizing on what type of sunroom to install, it is important to look at the choices that are available for you. You may also consider your sunroom installer’s recommendation as they have done a lot of sunrooms and know which one works for which home. Choose from or even customize the design of Studio Style Sunrooms, Cathedral Style Sunrooms, California Style Sunrooms, Solariums, and Conservatory Style Sunrooms. With each sunroom style, there are even more features to choose from so make sure that you look closely at all sunroom designs to find which one appeals you most.

Who to install your sunroom?

Finally, it’s time for you to decide which contractor to get for the installation of your sunroom. Once you have decided on the type of sunroom you want to install, it is now time to choose the company a company to for the installation service.

From Bakersfield to Fresno, you’ll find hundreds of contractors ready to offer you their sunroom specialties, but you want a contractor who is licensed, experienced, and will assist you with your city’s codes and permitting process. When you think you’ve found a company worthy of your investment, ask them for references, look for online reviews of that company (both positive and negative), and find out if the sunroom company offers any specials or a free estimate.

Thinking about expanding your living space? Here are ten reasons why many have chosen to add a sun room, conservatory, or patio enclosure to their home or office…

1. Sunrooms are exactly what the doctor ordered! They make us feel good and stay healthy by creating a peaceful place to soak up vitamin D and ward off  depression caused by seasonal affective disorder. Any type of glass room addition – sun room, solarium, conservatory, or patio enclosure – can enhance mood, improve outlook, and simply enjoy sunlight without being overexposed to outdoor elements.
2. Sunrooms can be enjoyed all year long. Sunroom manufacturers, such as TEMO, make solariums, conservatories, and patio enclosures that stay warm in the winter and cool in the heat of summer. Advances in glass technology have helped make sunrooms more energy efficient and a comfortable place to enjoy during all seasons.

5. Sunrooms are multi-functional. From added kitchen space to home or office gym, to hot tub room, sun rooms, conservatories, and solariums create more space for any type of living. Have you always wanted a rec room? What about a studio? A sunroom makes room for any kind of room.
6. Sunrooms let you experience the outdoors all year long. Think about how much time you spend locked inside without much exposure to the outdoors. A sunroom brings the outdoors indoors!
