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?

   The sun rooms really have falling out of fashion especially since fewer families are using them to set up tv or computer in them.

   I’d say don’t add it. If you plan on selling then make sure your baths and kitchen are upgraded, and people love hardwood flloors (or laminate).
