Melissa O asked:


My husband and our two boys (ages 2 and 6) live in a relatively small (1240 sq foot) house… We’re thinking of adding a sun room to increase our square footage and give us a little breathing room. However, we’re thinking of moving within three to five years. Is it worth it (financially) to add a sun room if we’ll be moving in such a short time? How much of the cost of the sun room can we expect to get back when we sell?

We have a glass enclosed sun room that is not heated and will freeze in the winter. It will NOT be exposed to rain or snow.

3 of the walls are glass, the 4th is against the house and has a sliding door (to the kitchen) in the middle of it. What material is best for this wall?

I do not want drywall or plaster in there.
It was siding but is also wasn’t enclosed until about a month ago. It is now glass enclosed and the siding has been removed. Remaining are sheets of foam insulation covering the studs and fiberglass insulation.

Help Me Rhondas asked:


is that more trouble than it would be worth in the price of the house.
the sunroom is 12 by 30 and under roof with glass blind/vouver windows.
any ideas or tips would be very helpful.
is this something we could do or would it require a contractor?

I have just bought a house and some of the colors in it are awful. One room is the sun room and the other is the bathroom.

I’m building my first home and I can’t decide if I want hardwoods or tile in the sunroom. I’d rather have the hardwoods but I’m wondering if the sun will be too harsh on the floors!

… I want to use the addition as a sun room , but being a 2 bedroom home maybe a 3 rd bedroom would add more value?

Left wall to neighboring townhouse
Roof above
Back wall to my living room with double French doors
Screened porch below
Angled 1/2 glassed front wall
Modified large triangle 23 x 10 with a SW exposure

I - and my plants - would like to make this a 4 season room instead of a 3 season room! We now use an oil filled radiator just to keep it above freezing.
wood floor - NOT TILED - At least not yet!

I hear there are new modular units that can be put down under tile or wood - has anyone used them?

Trying to add insulation/rebuild walls of sunroom to turn it into a room that can be us year round.

Room is 13′ x 16′

Currently have 9 large windows (35″ x 64″) which will be replaced with new double insulated windows. Can reduce the # of windows and sizes also.

Located in Pennsylvania.

Have heat/ac and ductwork already run to room.

We want to add a living space on the back on our house. Could be a regular addition, or a sun room; However, if it is a sun room we would like to have it heated (insulated) and we would like no door between the back of the house and the soon roof (like an opening to that room instead of a door).

What would be easer and cheaper for us? the sun room or the regular addition? thank you so much!!!

I need something that will do well with a lot of sun, yet something that looks nice and colorful.
