Home Remodeling Projects Popular Despite Current Housing Market

Patio Room Kits & Sunroom Kits-Home Improvement Remain Popular with Homeowners

By Brandon Beckham, Staff Writer for the Home Design Connection

With a recent slide in the real estate market, homeowners across America have turned in greater number to home-improvement and remodeling projects.  Recent construction industry statistics demonstrate a noticeable increase in room addition projects, more specifically: patio room enclosures and sunroom additions (as opposed to traditional room additions).  Likewise, statistics have shown that homeowners are increasingly “cutting-out the middle man.”  Instead of hiring general contractors, many homeowners are opting for do it yourself sunroom kits and patio room kits, often saving a substantial 30% to 50% on their remodeling project. 

Of the top most searched home improvement topics on The Home Design Connection’s network of sites, by far the leading remodeling topic has been DIY patio room kits.  In the current real-estate marketplace, this comes as no surprise.  Homeowners, rather than looking to “move-up” to a better home, are instead looking to build value in their current homes by adding additional living space.  Enclosing an existing patio with a custom patio room enclosure is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to add-a-room to the home, without breaking the bank.  Traditionally, patio room additions, even when installed by a licensed patio construction contractor are one of the most cost effective ways to increasing a home’s square footage.  However, homeowners are quickly coming to recognize the substantial savings that can be had with the purchase of a “Do-it-Yourself” patio room kit.  Patio room kits come in a variety of styles and can be custom built, at a low cost.  The Home Design Connection, one of America’s leading do it yourself patio room kit distributors, provides nationwide shipping – allowing homeowners to receive their custom designed patio room system straight from the factory delivered direct to their front door! 

Much like custom patio room kits, custom sun room patio enclosure kits have likewise become another extremely popular home improvement project undertaken by many homeowners in the light of the current real-estate market.  Sunrooms kits also come in a variety of styles and designs, including:

Straight Sun Rooms:  A popular and affordable option for many homeowners is a solid-roof glass sunroom kit, which is built with a straight eave.  Straight eave sunroom kits can generally be installed as a weekend project. 

Curved Sun Rooms:  For the homeowner looking for a more refined sun room patio enclosure, the curved eave solarium style sunroom kit is an excellent choice.  All solarium sunrooms are custom manufactured and delivered straight from the factory to the homeowner’s residence.

Cathedral Sun Rooms:  For the homeowner who desires tall ceilings, gable-roof sunroom enclosures are recommended. The Cathedral Sunroom Design has become a popular choice among homeowners in recent years.  Cathedral glass house sun rooms feature front peaked walls with a gabled roof design.

Conservatory Sun Rooms:  One of the most popular choices among those seeking to recreate classical English architectural designs is the Glass Room Conservatory Sunroom Kit.  The conservatory sunroom kits are available in either a Victorian sunroom model or Georgian sunroom model.
