Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my sunroom cost?

Every project is custom-designed, so pricing depends on size, model, roof style, finishes, and foundation work. In Celina and North Texas, most three-season rooms start around $20,000–$35,000, while insulated four-season rooms with HVAC and electrical can range from $40,000–$70,000 +. We provide detailed quotes after a free on-site design consultation.

What’s the difference between a 3-season and 4-season room?

A 3-season room (like the Sunspace Model 200 or 300) uses WeatherMaster vinyl or single-pane glass panels—great for spring through fall comfort. A 4-season room (Model 400) includes insulated walls, Low-E argon glass, and a thermally broken frame so it can be heated and cooled year-round.

What type of foundation is required?

Most sunrooms attach to an existing concrete slab or patio. If you don’t have one, we pour a new reinforced slab engineered for local soil and frost conditions. For elevated decks, we use the Sunspace AlumaDeck system with proper footings.

Will a sunroom actually increase my home’s value?

Yes—professionally built sunrooms often return 50–80 % of their cost at resale in Texas markets. Buyers love the extra flexible living space and bright natural light.

Are you properly licensed, insured, and bonded for this type of work?

Absolutely. Double T Screened Patios is a fully insured and bonded Texas contractor specializing in Sunspace Sunrooms and outdoor-living structures. We meet or exceed all local and state building requirements.

What exactly does your warranty cover—materials, labor, or both?

Sunspace products include a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty on aluminum framing and WeatherMaster vinyl panels. We also provide a 5-year workmanship warranty covering labor, installation, and sealing.

What happens if something goes wrong during construction?

We manage every phase in-house—from design to cleanup. If an unexpected issue arises (weather, materials, or structural concerns), our team pauses work, communicates immediately, and resolves it before moving forward. You’ll never be left guessing.

Do I need building permits regardless of sunroom size or type?

Yes. The City of Celina and Collin County require permits for most attached and freestanding enclosures, even small three-season rooms. Permits ensure compliance with wind load, electrical, and structural codes.

Who handles the permit application and what’s included?

We handle all permitting on your behalf—drawings, engineering letters, and submissions. Permit fees and inspections are clearly itemized in your proposal so there are no surprises.

How long will it take to build my sunroom from start to finish?

Design and permitting typically take 3–6 weeks. Once materials arrive, most builds are completed in 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and weather.

What’s the daily work schedule and how disruptive will construction be?

Our crews usually work 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday–Friday. We keep job sites tidy, minimize driveway obstruction, and clean up daily. Power, HVAC, and utilities remain fully functional throughout.

What financing options are available?

We partner with trusted lenders offering low-interest and same-as-cash financing for qualified homeowners. You can explore options during your free design visit with no credit impact.

How do you prevent leaks where the sunroom connects to my house?

Each connection is sealed with continuous flashing, foam backer rod, and high-grade exterior sealants. We also slope the roof system for proper water runoff and inspect all seams before completion.

How do you ensure proper flashing installation?

Our installers are factory-trained by Sunspace, using manufacturer-approved aluminum flashing kits and fasteners that integrate with your existing roofline to prevent future leaks or corrosion.

Will this create heat leakage from my home?

No. 4-season models use insulated walls and thermally broken aluminum to stop heat transfer. We also seal the transition point to your existing wall to maintain your home’s energy efficiency.

What kind of maintenance will be required and how often?

Maintenance is simple: wash windows and vinyl panels a few times a year with mild soap and water, check caulking annually, and keep gutters clear. The aluminum structure never rusts, peels, or requires repainting.
