Experts agrees that in a down economy many contractors will have to close shop and go out of business. The same experts also agrees that the contractor who want to stay in business must be creative, innovative and very flexible in order to stay in business.AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms started to apply those fundamentals at the end of 2007. Those fundamentals allows us to charge 30% to 40% below the leading competitors and yet be profitable. How do we do it? We structured down our overhead to a bear minimum. We purchase the construction materials at a major discount and our workers volunteered to take a pay cut in order to keep their job. Of course we also lowered our profit margin to a bear minimum.Recognizing a problem and willing to change allows us to stay in business and continue to service our customers. We welcome inquires regarding construction projects and happy to suggest cost saving options. Call Avi at 602-791-3228 or contact us akagan1@cox.net

Sunroom Contractor in Arizona

Most of us want to enjoy the outdoors and the sights, sounds and freshness that goes along with being part of nature. But outside the home are things we don't like: insects, ultraviolet rays, rain and cold. So being very adaptable a compromise with the outdoors is often reached and one of these is having a sunroom.
A sunroom is an addition to the home that enables the homeowner and family to enjoy nature while retaining the comforts of home. This can be as simple as a screened-in porch or, on the other end of the scale, a glassed-in environment. In most cases it is a room addition with floor to ceiling windows. Many sunrooms have extra features like garden doors and removable doors that can be swapped out with large screen doors. The cost of a sunroom can range from approximately $10,000 to over $25,000 depending on the size, style, added features and foundation requirements.

Sunroom and Patio Enclosure

Sunrooms and patio enclosures are designed to be beautiful, durable and also energy efficient. Sunrooms can use a large number of windows and glass panels in the walls and in the roof to let as much light as desire. Incorporating solid walls and roof the sunrooms designer can control how much sunlight will enter.Sunrooms and Patio enclosures are an attractive option to add an additional space to a home. Sunrooms and patio enclosures can be used as living space, recreational room, home office, breakfast nook and many other living spaces.There are two types of Sunrooms and Enclosures to consider. The modular type which is a pre engineered and pre assembled and the Custom type which designed to look like part of the original house. Az Enclosures and Sunrooms which is located in Phoenix, build custom Sunrooms and custom Patio enclosures at a lower cost than of the modular type.Additionally, the custom Sunroom and Patio enclosure are of a top quality and are approved by all of the homeowner associations in Arizona.

Building Permits

Building Permit for Room Addition, Bathroom Addition, Sunroom Addition, Patio Enclosures, Patio Roofs
Obtaining a building permit for construction projects is necessary and provides a major layer of the homeowners protection. The most important advantage is that only a licensed contractor can file and obtain a building permit. This alone will assure the homeowner that he is an "good hands" and the construction project will done correctly and will comply with all building codes and local regulation. Of course the homeowner have the option to file the permit as an "owner builder" but than he will not have any protection from the people, usually not licensed, who will do the work for him.The most frequent question that we get from a homeowner is "how long it takes to obtain the building permit"? The quick answer is: Depends in what Township, City or County the permit will be obtained. Each municipality has its own building department and therefore, the bureaucratic process will vary from place to place.We at AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms experienced very friendly and consumer oriented building departments that usually process the building permit application within few hours to few days. We also experienced an UN friendly, UN caring and not consumer oriented bureaucrats that prolong the permit process to over 5 weeks or more.That why it is important to work with an experienced and license contractor, who knows and understand the building permit process in all the municipalities in the state of Arizona.

Patio Roof

Patio roof covers provides protection from the elements such as sun and rain. A popular patio roof cover in Arizona is the Aluminum (known as Alumawood) lattice roof cover. A standard lattice roof cover provides 50% shading but no protection from the rain. For a total protection from the sun and the rain a solid patio roof must be used. Solid roofs comes in several types and of course some are more expensive that the others. A popular solid patio roof cover is the insulated roof panels (known as IRP). Other types are aluminum flat pan roofs and the conventional wood framing patio roof. In the last few years a louvered patio roof cover was introduced to the Phoenix are. This type allows the homeowner to operate the roof's louvers from a full opening position (no protection at all) to a fully closed position (providing full protection) from the elements. I personally, like to combine at least two types of roof covers for large patios. http://www.azenclosuresandsunrooms.com/

HOA Requirements

Many of the HOA (Home Owners Association) have very strict requirements and demands that the home owner must comply with in order to obtain the HOA approval to convert an open patio into a sunroom enclosure. For the last 30 years most of the HOA approved the modular type of sunroom enclosures even if the sunroom color did not match the house exterior color. However, lately more and more HOA will not approve the modular type claiming that it is not a perfect match to the existing house design and exterior finishing. The homeowner should know that an existing patio can be converted into a sunroom enclosure by utilizing conventional (not modular) construction techniques that allow us to perfectly match the exterior design and finishing of the existing house. Look at the “before” and “after” photos of two sunroom enclosures. In most cases a conventional built sunroom enclosure will cost the same or less than a modular type sunroom enclosure. Check with your HOA about their requirements before signing a contract or at least, make sure to insert "this contract is subject to the HOA approval" in your contract.

Cooling / heating Sunroom and Patio Enclosure Additions

Cooling and heating a sunroom addition is a subject that many homeowners and some contractors are straggling with and have no clear understanding of what should be done.Most homeowners are under the impression that adding additional ducts to the existing house system will be sufficient enough to cool and heat the new sunroom addition. The reality is that in most cases the existing house cooling/heating unit was not designed for the sunroom addition. it was designed only for the original house only. The efficiency of any cooling/heating system depends not only of the blower size but also on the ducts configuration. Such as size, length and the number and location of the registers and the air returns.In most cases an existing cooling/heating system will not be able to handle an additional space, especially a sunroom addition.It is highly recommended that a new cooling/heating unit will be installed as a dedicated unit to the addition with its own thermostat.There are several options to consider. For small sunrooms with an average size of glass area an in-wall unit might be sufficient. However, as the sunroom addition becomes larger and larger with a large size of glass area, a heat pump or mini split units will be a better choice.That why it is vital important to select a highly qualified contractor who has the knowledge and experience in selecting the right cooling/heating system for the new sunroom addition.AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms are most qualified contractors in the design and construction of sunroom additions as well as any room addition. Their customers can attest to it.For additional information regarding any aspect of additions contact Avi Kagan 602-791-3228
