Benefits of Adding a Sunroom to Your Home

Turning your deck, porch, or covered patio into a sunroom provides many benefits for you as a homeowner. We experience all four seasons here in Iowa, and with those seasons come rain, snow, and freezing weather, as well as unbearably hot temperatures and sticky humidity. 

For usable living space, convert your deck or patio into an enclosed sunroom. You can enjoy the additional space during all four seasons—including the beautiful Iowa winters and the sweltering Midwest summers—from the comfort of your sunroom.

Additional Square Footage

Adding a sunroom to your home will provide you with additional usable living space and square footage in your home. Your four-season room can be used as a cozy little reading area, a TV room, a family room, or a playroom. Your possibilities are endless! 

Whether you want additional living space or are trying to increase your home’s value before putting it on the market, a sunroom adds valuable square footage to your home that can be used for many different purposes.

Increased Property Value

As mentioned above, a well-designed and professionally built sunroom can increase the resale value of your home. Potential buyers often view sunrooms as desirable features that add to the appeal and functionality of a property. 

Sunrooms are a customizable addition to a home that complements the architectural style and enhances the aesthetic appeal. All of these factors make sunrooms a no-brainer for homeowners wanting to boost the ROI of their homes. With a sunroom, potential buyers will be able to make it their own, having a whole new space to enjoy various hobbies, entertain guests, and more.

A Room for Every Season

Due to the drastic seasons here in Iowa, we can truly only enjoy being outdoors for a few months out of the year. With an uncovered deck or patio, these areas are essentially only usable when the weather is warm. An enclosed sunroom allows you to experience and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of being indoors. 

Just because you’ve enclosed the space doesn’t mean you can’t have the best of both worlds when the weather warms. Make sure to install large windows or screens in your sunroom so you can let the fresh spring and summer air into your home, and keep out the snow in the winter.

Natural Light

Who doesn’t love natural light in their home? Sunrooms can be built with full windows that allow the warm natural sunlight into your home to provide a bright, airy space. Perfect for soaking up some sunlight and relaxing on those chilly winter days. 

Additionally, the more you rely on natural light, the less you’ll need overhead lighting or lamps during the day which makes your home more energy-efficient.
