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.

Cooling/Heating a Sunroom Addition or 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.
