Turning a Deck into a Sunroom in Your Atlanta Home
Over the years you’ve really enjoyed that backyard deck, but wish you could get a bit more use out of it during the winter or when it’s raining. Many people think they can easily convert their deck into an enclosed sunroom by doing nothing more than adding a roof and a couple flimsy walls. Trust us, transforming a pre-existing deck into a stylish, durable and long lasting sunroom takes experienced professionals well versed in everything from load bearing wall strength to local county and city zoning and permitting requirements.
• First, your contractor will come out and inspect the deck to ensure it’s sturdy enough to withstand the added weight.
• Then the overall interior and exterior design will be drawn up. This is the part of the process when architectural features are selected along with windows, doors, flooring and wall materials.
• Of course you’ll want the space wired for electricity and depending on your budget it’s a good idea to include a heating and cooling system if possible.
Sunrooms in metro Atlanta must meet certain permitting requirements before breaking ground. Then depending on the scope of work, electrical and plumbing permits also may need to be obtained. Working with an experienced licensed contractor such as DC Enclosures will ensure your gorgeous new sunroom is built following local stringent building codes.
