  • What is a screenroom?

    Screenrooms are outdoor spaces enclosed by screens, allowing fresh air and sunlight while keeping insects and debris out. At The Plantation Room Company, we specialize in creating these spaces, along with decks, patio covers, screened-in patios, and sunrooms, for Murfreesboro residents and the surrounding areas.
  • Can I add a screenroom to an existing patio or deck?

    Absolutely. Screenrooms can be seamlessly integrated with existing patios, decks, or balconies. Our team at The Plantation Room Company has the expertise to add a screenroom to your current outdoor structure efficiently and effectively.
  • What materials are screenrooms made from?

    Screenrooms can be constructed using aluminum, vinyl, or wood. To determine the best material for your specific needs, we recommend consulting with our experienced team at The Plantation Room Company.
  • Are sunrooms worth the investment?

    Sunrooms offer homeowners the benefits of an additional room at a fraction of the cost of a traditional home addition. Based on our experience, homeowners often find that adding a sunroom costs approximately half of what they would spend on a conventional room addition.
  • What is the difference between a three-season and a four-season sunroom?

    Three-season sunrooms are designed for use in spring, summer, and fall, while a four-season room is suitable for year-round enjoyment. If you need assistance deciding between these options, our team at The Plantation Room Company is ready to help you make the best choice for your needs.
  • Do I need a permit?

    Yes, as sunroom additions involve structural changes, electrical work, and foundations, they almost always require local building permits.
  • Where can a sunroom be placed?

    A sunroom can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. It all depends on which part of your home has the best views and how you want to use the room. Our sunroom additions are custom-tailored to your specific needs and vision.
  • How do I keep my sunroom warm in the winter?

    If you plan to use sunrooms all year long, you may wish to consider installing heating or cooling systems to keep them comfortable. Especially in the winter months, there may be increased drafts due to the number of windows present in the sunroom.
  • How much do sunrooms cost?

    This is a common question, but a difficult one to answer. Because we custom-manufacture each sunroom to your unique specifications, there isn't a one-size-fits-all price. Many factors determine the cost, such as foundation, where and how we would attach the room to your house, local building code requirements, and your design ideas. These are just a few of the variables that will determine the cost of sunrooms.
  • Why should I use insulated glass?

    We recommend insulated glass if you would like to extend the seasons in your new sunroom. Insulated glass also helps improve the heating and cooling performance in your new sunroom additions.
