Sunroom Additions in Houston, TX

Roof tie in and waterproofing

Nothing ruins a sunroom faster than a leak. We tie into your existing roof using methods that match the home. That may mean

• Extending the main roof with matching shingles
• Adding a standing seam or matching shingle roof with correct flashing under existing courses
• Proper step flashing at walls and chimneys
• Ice and water shield at critical areas
• Hurricane clips and straps for uplift resistance

We also match soffits, fascia, and gutters so the exterior looks clean. Learn more about our roofing services.

Flood zones, permits, and HOA approvals

We handle permits with the City of Houston or Harris County, based on your address. If you are in a mapped floodplain, we follow elevation rules and submit the needed documents. See FEMA guidance on the Flood Map Service Center. We also help with HOA submittals, including drawings, materials, and colors. Areas we serve include inner loop neighborhoods like the Heights, Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Westbury, and Meyerland, plus suburbs like Katy, Cypress, Spring, Pearland, Sugar Land, and Clear Lake.

Energy Efficient Glass and Comfort Features

Low E glass and frame choices

We match glass to our climate. Look for

• Low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient in the 0.20 to 0.28 range to cut radiant heat
• Double pane with argon fill for better insulation
• Low U factor to reduce heat transfer
• Tempered safety glass in doors and large windows
• Laminated glass where added security or sound control is needed

Frame options

• Vinyl frames with thermal breaks for good insulation and low maintenance
• Aluminum with thermal breaks if you want slim sightlines
• Fiberglass frames for strength and stability in heat

We can also add

• Tinted glass to reduce glare
• Internal blinds or exterior shades for more control
• Solar screens on the sunniest walls

Cooling and ventilation

We have several ways to keep your sunroom comfortable.

• Ductless mini split AC and heat. Quiet, efficient, and easy to control separate from the main house. Many systems are a type of heat pump.
• Extension of existing HVAC if your system has capacity. We check the load before we connect.
• Ceiling fans to keep air moving and help your skin feel cooler.
• Fresh air vents or operable windows to purge humidity on spring and fall days.
• A small dehumidifier if you plan to keep lots of plants inside.

We place registers and returns to avoid hot corners. We size the unit accurately so it runs steady and does not short cycle.

Shading and glare control

• Overhang depth matched to window height
• Pergola wings for west sides
• Interior shades or roller blinds for TV watching and laptop work
• Exterior shade screens for the hottest months
• Deciduous trees nearby that leaf out in summer and let light in winter

Interior Details That Matter

Floors that hold up

• Porcelain tile for high traffic and pets. See our tile flooring installation
• Luxury vinyl plank for warmth underfoot and spill resistance. Explore vinyl flooring options
• Sealed concrete for a modern look and low maintenance
• Engineered wood only if we control humidity well. Our team also offers hardwood flooring services

We discuss rugs, floor color under bright light, and how dirt from the backyard will enter the space. We can add a small mud bench or storage to stash shoes and pet leashes. Ask about our flooring installers for complete selections.

Lighting that works day and night

• Dimmable LED can lights on zones
• Ceiling fan with light kit
• Wall sconces to soften evenings
• Floor outlet for lamps without cords across the walkway
• Under sill LED strips if you want a glow without glare

We also add plenty of outlets, USB charging, and media wiring for TV or speakers. If you plan to work in the sunroom, we can add hardwired data.

Doors, windows, and screens

Big sliding doors open to your yard or pool. French doors bring classic style. We install smooth tracks, sturdy hardware, and full width screens to keep insects out. If you own pets, we can add a pet door with a lock.

Finishes and trim

We match your home’s baseboards, crown, and window casings. If you have brick or stucco, we line up textures and paint so the sunroom looks original, not an afterthought. Ask about our painting services for a perfect match.

Exterior Match and Resale Value

Curb appeal matters. We source roofing to match color and texture. We tie brick courses at the right height and tool mortar joints to blend with the existing facade. Trim profiles match your home, and gutters integrate with your drainage.

Appraisers and buyers notice quality. A sunroom that feels like part of the home can help your listing stand out. If you plan to sell in a few years, we can keep choices neutral and classic.

Note that HCAD and local tax offices may add living area to your record. We can provide permit records and plans if needed during appraisal.

Our Process From Idea To Move in

Curious how it all works? Here is the step by step path we follow.

• Phone consult We talk about your goals, style, size, budget range, and timing. We also ask about your address to check permits and floodplain status.
• On site visit We measure, study the house structure, check electrical panel space, look at drainage, and review HOA rules. We also take photos for plan work.
• Concept plan and clear estimate You receive drawings that show size, layout, and roof tie in. We share a line item estimate. No guesswork. No surprise add ons later.
• Agreement and selections We finalize window types, doors, roof materials, flooring, lighting, paint, and hardware. You pick, we document, and we keep everything in writing.
• Permits and HOA We handle drawings, engineering letters if needed, energy code forms, and submissions. We talk to the city and your HOA so you do not have to. Our architectural services keep submittals smooth.
• Site prep We protect your yard and floors, set up a tidy work zone, and schedule dumpsters and deliveries.
• Foundation work We pour the slab or set piers and grade beams, then set anchor bolts. We let the concrete cure and keep it covered if rain pops up.
• Framing and roof Walls go up, roof ties in, and weatherproofing goes on. We install windows and doors. The room becomes watertight fast.
• Mechanical, electrical, and insulation We run electrical, set the mini split lines if used, place insulation, and install drywall. City inspectors check each stage.
• Interior finishes Floors, trim, paint, lights, fans, and hardware go in. We adjust doors and windows, set screens, and clean.
• Final walk through We test everything with you, share maintenance tips, and hand you documents and permits.

Most builds move fast once permits are in hand. Weather can delay concrete or exterior paint, but we keep you posted daily. Our aim is a smooth, tidy job site and a quick punch list.
