With continuing volatility in the real estate market caused by rising interest rates many people are rethinking the sale of their home and instead deciding to renovate. Turning a current home into a dream home is often the easier and better choice, because it provides homeowners with the opportunity to rethink their living spaces.
Many new additions to homes are based on lifestyle choices and improving the quality of life enjoyed within the home. As a result, the addition of a new sunroom, three or four season room, screen porch, or the installation of retractable screens and shade/sun blocking products are growing increasingly popular.
“All these elements can add substantial value to your home,” said Julian Boettcher, owner of JNB Contracting. “The addition of a sunroom, for example, allows a homeowner to enjoy a better connection to indoor/outdoor living spaces.”
According to Boettcher, two of the biggest names in this specialized home renovation sector are Sunspace and Talius, both of which are Canadian manufactures making products specifically designed for Canada’s unique seasonal climates.
Sunspace is a Newcastle, Ontario company specializing in custom designed sunrooms, screen rooms, patio covers, porch enclosures, decks, and more.
Talius is a Windsor, Ontario company whose roll shutters and habitat screens™ are designed to offer a multitude of solutions for your home, business, or outdoor living space. Boettcher said there are a multitude of reasons to plan your home renovation using products from Sunspace and Talius.
“The number one reason is they are Canadian made and backed by a solid warranty on all manufacturing defects,” said Boettcher, whose company sells and installs both products. “These are products designed specifically for Canadians. They are manufactured to deal with Canadian climate. I stand behind both products.”
The real beauty of both these products is that they are 100 percent custom made to order to suit any home design or living space.
“There is no standard fit product from Sunspace or Talius,” said Boettcher. “Every single order is custom made. Every job is different and based on what your yard looks like, what your space looks like. Maybe you just want to close in an existing opening or you’re looking to build something completely new. We will work with you to design something unique for your property.”
While winter is approaching, Boettcher said it’s a good time to start thinking about what your preferred sunroom installation will look like. The residential renovation calendar tends to fill up quickly in the new year, so reaching out to JNB Contracting now provides you with ample time to consider product options and the eventual design for your sunroom.
“What I like to have people do is to first explain what they’re looking to do and the approximate sizes. Sometimes I’ll make an initial sketch and then send to the home owner. . Once we’re on the same page I’ll come out and do a site visit and make a technical drawing for the client. If they approve, we start into the building process.”
Boettcher and his team of custom builders have installed renovations as large as 24 by 22 feet or 528 square feet, but he says “the sky is the limit” when it comes to the available options for products like sunrooms. As a custom builder, Boettcher and his team can complete the entire project, or they can work collaboratively with the homeowner’s preferred contractor.
“The main thing is that people who want to spend more time at home can make it into a bit of a backyard resort with the right product. You don’t have to go away to have a good time. You can make your backyard into a paradise, a personal oasis. I also want my customers to be happy. If there are any issues they can talk with me direct.”
