Frequently Asked Questions

 

1.  What is a sunroom?

Basically, a sunroom is an addition or an enclosed porch or patio area designed using windows and doors to admit a large amount of sunlight. Sunrooms are often referred to as solariums, conservatories, patio rooms, garden rooms, atriums, all season rooms, screened rooms or patio enclosures. 

2.  How much does a sunroom cost?

The price depends on the size and style of the sunroom and the materials, glass and any other accessories and options that you may choose.  A Cross Builders professional will be happy to come to your home for a consultation and provide you with a price quote at no charge.

3.  Can I install a sunroom myself?

We recommend only professional installation by licensed and trained installers.  Since your home is often the largest investment you will ever make, we suggest protecting the future value of your home by only dealing with companies that provide you with fully insured and experienced sunroom installation professionals.

4.  Which direction should a sunroom face?

A south-facing sunroom will provide the most sunlight while a north-facing room will provide the least sunlight.  An east-facing room will be sunniest in the mornings while a west-facing sunroom will have the most sunlight in the afternoon and early evening.
