What to look for when adding a sunroom to your home

There are many benefits of adding a sunroom to your home. It can supply you with extra space without undergoing a major renovation, give you a unique spot to transform into a cozy hangout and add resale value to your home when it's time to sell.

"[Customers have said] it's become the most used room in the home, it's open and airy and it brings the outdoors in all year round," said Dennis Manak, director of sales at Alure Home Improvements.

Model the sunroom according to the design of your home
Professionals can adapt the addition of a sunroom to the current design of your home so it's a seamless transition. 

"You want the sunroom design to blend into the style of your home's architecture so it looks like it's part of the home – not just added to it," said Manak. Whether it's matching the style of roof, roof shingles, siding or stone, sunrooms can be built from a basic, nice, neat and clean look to a more design-influenced room that's the envy of the neighborhood.

No need to rely on your imagination to envision your sunroom
Adding a sunroom to your home is a major project that you should be proud to show off. Make sure you love the final product before it's even created. Find a company that uses a digital imaging program, giving you the ability to envision exactly how the sunroom will appear in relation to your home, eliminating all uncertainty and helping designers give you precisely what you're looking for.

Experience the benefits of a sunroom.
