Sunrooms & Patio Enclosures
Sunrooms extend the useful year of a house dramatically, but only when the foundation, framing, glazing and mechanical strategy are chosen deliberately. We plan the room for how it will actually be used across seasons.
What's included
- —Foundation and framing appropriate to the use category
- —Insulated glass with coatings selected for Colorado sun
- —Envelope tie-in to the existing home
- —Mechanical coordination for four-season rooms
Planning considerations
- —Three-season vs. four-season decision up front
- —Solar orientation and shading strategy
- —Snow shed from adjacent roof surfaces
Site-specific decisions
Colorado sunrooms take significant heat gain in summer and lose heat rapidly on winter mornings. Glass specification, shading and mechanical strategy are chosen for the specific exposure.
Jurisdictional requirements
Sunrooms are permitted additions in most jurisdictions and often require engineering, particularly for glass roofs and structural tie-ins.
Our process for this work
Site visit → use-category decision → design → engineering → permit → construction → glazing and finishes.
Common questions
Sometimes. It depends on the existing foundation, framing and roof. A site visit confirms feasibility before scope is developed.
