While you can certainly go to an architect, our experienced design team offers comparable expertise and services without the added architect fees.
Our structural designers understand the important structural considerations for solariums and sunrooms, including specialized foundation work to handle glass walls and roofing. We stay up-to-date on relevant permits, codes, and regulations to ensure your addition is fully compliant.
We optimize the placement, angle, size, and custom details based on your home’s unique footprint and surroundings. Factors like sunlight, views, tree coverage, and neighbor privacy are all taken into account by our team. We’ll design the space to meet your functional needs with lighting, temperature control, and any other customizations.
At Sunshine Rooms, we have relationships with reputable construction teams to build your addition properly. We only use top quality glass and materials that meets your budget while achieving the perfect aesthetics and performance.
