Room Addition in peoria AZ

For most homeowners it is not the right time now to move to a newer house as part of upgrading to additional home living features. In our present economic time, it make sense to upgrade the the existing house in order to gain additional floor space as well as upgrading old spaces such as kitchen, bathrooms, etc. The best return on investment in upgrading your home is to add additional living space. Most homeowners disclose that they would like to have additional living space if they could afford it. The most affordable way to gain living space is to enclose an existing patio space that most homes have. We, at AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms along with our structural engineers, developed an affordable way to add a room addition under the existing patio roof and the existing patio header and posts. All of the Valley's building departments accept our engineered plans and grant us building permits.

Bathroom Addition

Bathroom addition is one of the best type of improvement that you can do to your home. Most people do not have enough bathrooms in their home and would love to have additional one. Also, any additional bathroom will automatically add to the value of the house. It will give you the best return on investment and will help one day is the selling of the house. However, the key element to achieve the best return on investment is to have the right design in order to lower the construction cost. One of the most costly aspect of a new bathroom addition is the connection of the new waist (drain) line to the existing house main waist pipe. It might be necessary to electronically locate the house waist pipe under the concrete floor. In short, you should hire an experience, license contractor to do the job and not a handyman in your neighborhood. Just remember that the over all cost of the bathroom addition can escalate because of purchasing expensive fixtures. As you probably know you can buy a sink faucet at Home Depot for less than $50 but also you can spend as much as $1,500 for a faucet. Just remember that you can control your construction cost by choosing fixtures and accessories wisely.

Building Permit

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.

You can discover a commen thread in the Arizonian's life style. It is the love for outdoor living.

Most of the residential homes, especially the new one today, have some kind of a covered or uncovered patio. Patio and outdoor furniture is a dominate business in Arizona, along with varieties of patio roof covers, patio enclosures and sun rooms.

Patio Enclosures and Sunrooms design

There is nothing quite like a patio addition to enhance the livable space in your home. Even if you live in a climate where the weather can be a challenge, there are patio plans available to make your patio enjoyable all year round by using enclosures.


There are many different options to consider when designing plans for patio enclosures. The size, the shape, the materials, and the complexity of a patio enclosure are just a few examples of things you need to think about. Depending on your level of remodeling skill and experience, you may or may not be able to do the actual construction yourself.

start with the purpose of the patio enclosure. Do you want your patio to be completely enclosed with a door, windows, electricity, and climate control? Or do you want your patio to be open to the fresh air but protected by screens to keep the bugs out? How you plan to use and enjoy your patio enclosure will be the primary drivers that determine your design.

Making Plans for Patio Enclosures

Once you have decided on what you want, you will have to decide how you will build the structure. If you want a complete enclosure you can design it yourself if you have enough knowledge about construction. Another option is to buy a pre-made enclosure kit such as a sunroom or a sun porch structure. Screened porches are usually easier to construct than a sunroom and can be built easier by a homeowner looking to complete the project themselves.

Consult with a reliable and experience Patio Enclosures and Sunrooms contractor. A reliable contractor should be able to draw several option of the proposed design. Also a reliable contractor will examine the existing concrete floor and ground condition and will determine what need to be done to satisfy your local building code. The bottom line is that any plans for patio enclosures you create should be suited to the purpose of the enclosure and the space available.

Sunroom Addition in Sun City AZ

A new sunroom enclosure provided a new and updated look to an older home in Sun City, Arizona. The new sunroom addition was part of a face lift plan that also included new landscaping work as well as interior remodeling. The homeowner selected a modular sunroom enclosure for the additional living space. The HOA approved the design and the exterior white color which compliment the existing house. Part of the new exterior design was the new patio roof coverts on both sides of the sunroom addition which increases the use of the backyard. The owners, Judith and Noel decorated the new sunroom addition into a warm and inviting living space. This new living space has an insulated roof, insulated walls and insulated windows with low “e” coating. It is cooled by a small air conditioning unit that was installed in the side wall.

Patio Roofs in Arizona - Why Aluminum Roof Leak?

Many patio roofs in Arizona are made of aluminum. All types of aluminum patio roofs including the insulated roof are made of individual panels that need to be connected to one another. Any such connection might leak even if the connection was caulked during the installation. The Arizona high temperatures during the summer cause the patio roof panels to expand and than in the winter the panels constract back. This movement might break the caulking and the roof will start to leak. AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms is specializing in all types of patio roofs and developed a sealing system that will prevent the aluminum roof from leaking. If you have any roofing problem AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms will stop it and your patio roof will never leak again. This unique system was developed 10 years ago and has 100% success rate.

Sunroom Addition

A popular addition in the Phoenix Valley, is a Sunroom Addition. We are blessed with a gordious weather and a beautiful views of mountains and creative landscaping. That why most homeowners, who need an extra living space, are selecting sun room addition or patio enclosure that are not obstructing the view.

Ask AZ Enclosures and Sun rooms about the latest in insulated glass technology that reflect 97% of the sun ray away from the room. Homeowner should also pay attention to the type of flooring for the sun room enclosure. It is easy and efficient to cool or heat the sun room enclosure if it is designed and build correctly.

Green Construction

I build several Green Building homes in Scottsdale and phoenix. The most cost effective materials for residential or commercial green construction is light gauge steel. Steel can be use for exterior walls as well as interior walls. Because light gauge studs and roof rafters can be ordered pre-cut to any size the waste factor is minimal. Also it cut down on framing time. Another material we used for a green construction is the Scoria insulated concrete wall. A unique building material. Using Arizona’s natural Scoria cinders.

Patio Roofs and HOA Requirments

More and more of the HOA in Arizona are objecting and will not approve any patio roof that is not identical in materials, colors and looks as of the existing house.

Insulated Glass

The insulating effect of your windows has a direct impact on how your rooms feel. Typically, 75% of the exposed surface of a window is glass, and the temperature of the room-side of the glass directly affects the air temperature in the room. Therefore, the better insulated the window glass, the warmer your room will be.

The American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (ASHRAE) Comfort Standard 55 suggests that when glass surface temperature fall below 52º F, the result is thermal discomfort. In order to maintain comfortable temperatures during the winter, LoĒ²-272 glass produces surface temperatures that will stay above this point during the coldest outdoor conditions.

Windows made with clear glass or ordinary low-E glass can be the biggest offenders when it comes to the air-conditioning load in your home. When it’s hot outside, the sun comes raging in making your house uncomfortable. This high solar heat gain can contribute to more than 50% of air-conditioning costs.

LoĒ²-272 blocks enough solar heat that cooling loads can be cut by 25% or more compared to ordinary low-E and clear glass. Controlling solar gain not only saves energy during the air-conditioning season, it also improves the comfort and livability of sunny rooms during the spring and fall when the cooling system isn’t normally used.

The oppressive heat of the sun is composed of visible light and invisible infrared energy. LoĒ²-272 is produced with a patented coating technology that allows the daylight to pass through the glass and filters out solar heat. In fact, it blocks 84% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and delivers a remarkable 96% performance improvement in winter nighttime insulation (R-value) compared to non-coated air-filled insulating glass.

Many window manufacturers provide LoĒ² glass in their standard configurations. Please contact your window supplier, builder or architect on how to obtain LoĒ² glass in your next window purchase.
