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.

Heating and Cooling Sunroom and Room Addition

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.

Design Room Addition and Sunroom

It doesn't matter how skilled a contractor or do-it-yourselfer happens to be, if plans for a sunroom aren't in place, construction will not flow smoothly. There are a number of options available for obtaining proper sunroom design ideas and plans. Some choices happen to be much easier and more affordable to pursue.


The best and easier choice is to find a contractor who provides architectural services (in-house license architect) as part of the job proposal. It is much cheaper, and some time at no additional cost. This way only one entity takes the professional responsibility for the entire project from start to finish.

Going to an architect - This is an excellent way to ensure that plans are customized, fit the backyard in question and meet local codes. When a licensed architect creates the plans, homeowners can rest assured they will be structurally sound. Unfortunately, it can be the most time consuming and costly choice, as well.

Selecting ready-made plans - These are available in books and on the Internet. Some construction firms that specialize in sunrooms may also offer them, but only to those who choose to use their services. Ready-made plans from books and the Internet are the most affordable options for obtaining plans aside from a homeowner drawing them up personally. The only downfall with selecting ready-made plans is the lack of customization that goes along with the choice.

Using a design program - Some companies that specialize in sunroom kits offer design programs so homeowners can create their own plans for use in the creation of a kit. This option for the planning stage comes free of charge in most cases. The plans, however, are not usable unless the kit is purchased.

Making sure room addition and sunroom design is handled properly is imperative for the outcome of a building project. The design phase is the essential first step upon which everything else will rest.

Family Room Addition-Return on Investment

Can cost considerably less per square foot than bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen additions because they don’t typically involve plumbing fixtures, stone or ceramic tiles, or major appliances.
Still, a sizable 16-by-25-foot family room addition costs an average of $15,000 to $30,000, according to industry sources for the Phoenix Valley. Of that, you can expect to recoup around $9,000 to $18,000 (or about 60%) when you sell the house.The highest rate of return on a family room addition is in the Southwest and South central portion of the country. The lowest payback is in the upper Midwest, where the average payback is about 50.5% return.Wherever you live, however, the key to maximizing your return is to avoid over-improving. That means building a family room addition only if neighboring houses of similar style, size, and value tend to have family rooms, says appraiser Bryan Flaherty. If that’s not the case, there are lower-cost ways to achieve a similar transformation of your house: You could knock down interior walls and convert your dining room into a family room, finish the basement to create a family room, or simply use a spare bedroom or above-the-garage bonus room. But all of these options require compromises—such as having your family room far from the kitchen or giving up having a formal dining room—that you don’t have to make when you build a family room addition. And as long as you’re staying put for three to five years to enjoy the new space, you’ll get so much use from your family room addition that recouping every dollar back when you sell shouldn't’t be a prime concern. Our company have an in-house architect and in most cases provide architectural services at no additional cost.

Room Addition

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/
