"Open Air Escapes build a 35' composite deck for my home—22' of it covered with a roof and ceiling fan—and the experience was outstanding. Buddy and his team stood out for their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism. I had multiple quotes, but after speaking with Buddy, I knew he was the right choice. The crew was skilled, efficient, and even worked through freezing temps to stay on schedule. Despite some county-related hiccups, Buddy handled everything smoothly and kept me updated throughout. The deck is solid, beautiful, and built to last—this is not your average deck. It’s PREMIUM quality through and through. Open Air Escapes exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional work and a dependable team. "

"BEWARE The owner failed to pay the myself and employees for months causing them to have no choice but to leave the company. Customers who paid deposits have been waiting for months for materials to be ordered and are still waiting. Vendors and sub contractors are owed large amounts of money. Frank has been dishonest and not trust worthy. I understand the company needs new employees but it’s disturbing to know that the previous employees are still owed for their time and effort. I do not recommend supporting this type of company. I’m quite confused to how they have a 4 star rating after working here for almost 2 years I know how many customers were left unsatisfied."

A solarium represents a specialized sunroom variant constructed almost entirely from glass, including ceiling elements in most designs, to maximize daylight penetration. While every solarium qualifies as a sunroom, standard sunrooms feature conventional roofing and partial glass walls. True solariums require specialized engineering and materials, starting around $30,000 compared to basic sunrooms that begin around $6,000, but they deliver unmatched brightness and visual openness.
Construction timelines for average sunroom projects range from two to four weeks, while more elaborate or custom solarium installations may extend up to six months. Factors influencing completion include design complexity, permit processing, weather conditions, and material availability. Factory-built systems install more quickly than custom designs, but comprehensive projects require thorough planning, proper permitting, and sequential construction phases from foundation to finishing.
High-performance insulated glass with low-emissivity coatings provides optimal thermal management for most installations. Safety requirements mandate tempered or laminated construction for all panels. Southern exposures benefit from solar-control technologies that minimize heat accumulation, while northern installations prioritize thermal retention properties. Quality glazing represents a substantial portion of your overall investment, making it essential to balance performance specifications with budget considerations.
Most jurisdictions classify solariums as permanent structural additions requiring standard building permits ranging from $250 to $1,500. Projects incorporating electrical systems, climate control, or plumbing require additional specialized permits. Many municipalities also mandate architectural review, particularly in historically designated districts or planned communities. Proceeding without proper authorization risks significant financial penalties and potential mandatory removal, making proper permitting an essential investment.
