Independence has some of the oldest housing in the metro, and that changes how a sunroom gets built here more than the city line does.
A lot of Independence homes predate the 1960s, so the existing foundation is often stone or block rather than poured. We check what we are tying into before designing the connection.
Footings go to 36 inches on this side of the metro. That is not negotiable for a conditioned room and it is the reason a sunroom cannot sit on an existing patio slab.
Independence reviews the structure through Community Development, and a conditioned addition is a different review than a screen room. We prepare and file the packet.
Unlike the Johnson County suburbs, most Independence neighbourhoods have no architectural committee, which usually takes a full cycle out of the timeline.
Mid-century brick is hard to match exactly. We template and source before ordering rather than discovering the mismatch at install.
Older lots often drain toward the house after decades of settling. We look at where water goes before we put a room in its path.
Single glazed and unconditioned, comfortable roughly April to October and closed up in January. The lower cost route and still a real room for most of the year.
Insulated, low-E glazed and tied into heating and cooling, so it works every day of the year. It is a conditioned addition, with the permit and foundation that implies.
If budget points you to three season now, we size the footings and framing for four season so it can be converted later rather than rebuilt.
The cheapest way to make an existing porch usable through mosquito season, and often the right answer on an older Independence home with a deep front or side porch.
Permit review and footing cure dominate the schedule. The glazing itself is usually the shortest part of the whole job.
On pre-1960s stock the existing roof pitch and eave height decide how the new roof meets it. We design that connection before anything is ordered.
Sunroom installation in Independence, MO runs through city permitting, which we handle. As sunroom builders in Independence, MO and sunroom contractors in Independence we also do screen room installation in Independence, and a four season room in Independence when the space needs heat and air.
Make the most of Independence's pleasant spring and autumn seasons with a three-season sunroom. These spaces offer protection from rain and bugs while letting you enjoy natural light and fresh breezes.
When Independence winters arrive, you'll appreciate a fully insulated four-season sunroom. With climate control and energy-efficient construction, these rooms stay comfortable in July's heat and January's cold alike.
Independence summers are perfect for outdoor living, except for the mosquitoes. A screen room gives you all the benefits of being outside with none of the bug bites.
