Bring Natural Light Into Daily Living

Watson Construction and Renovation designs and builds sunroom additions for homeowners in Melbourne, Florida.

You want more natural light in your Melbourne home without sacrificing indoor comfort or usable square footage. A sunroom addition creates a space that feels open and connected to your yard while remaining protected from heat, humidity, and insects. It becomes a room you use throughout the year, not just when the weather cooperates.

Watson Construction and Renovation constructs sunrooms that integrate with your existing roof, foundation, and exterior finishes. The work includes framing, glazing, ventilation planning, and interior finishing. In Melbourne, where high temperatures and afternoon storms are part of the calendar, proper material selection and ventilation design determine whether a sunroom stays comfortable or becomes unusable by midday. Watson Construction and Renovation accounts for Florida's climate in every phase of the build.

How a Sunroom Gets Built

Building a sunroom in Melbourne starts with evaluating your home's exterior, including roof overhangs, door placement, and foundation access. Watson Construction and Renovation plans the structure to align with your existing architecture and meet local building codes. The process includes pouring a foundation or extending an existing slab, framing walls and roof supports, installing glazing or screen panels, and finishing the interior with flooring and trim.

Once construction is complete, you will notice the sunroom feels like part of the house rather than an afterthought. The flooring transitions smoothly, the roof ties into the existing structure without visible gaps, and the space is comfortable enough to use on hot days. Ventilation keeps air moving, and the windows or screens let in light without turning the room into a greenhouse.

Watson Construction and Renovation is a family-owned contractor operating locally since 2012 and is fully licensed and insured for residential additions. The company does not use prefabricated kits—it builds each sunroom to fit the home it is attached to. This approach takes longer but results in a structure that lasts and performs well in Florida conditions.

What Homeowners Ask Before Building

Homeowners in Melbourne often have practical questions about sunrooms, especially when it comes to how the space will hold up over time and what it will feel like during summer months.

What materials work best for sunrooms in Florida?
Watson Construction and Renovation uses framing materials that resist moisture and glazing or screening that withstand humidity and sun exposure. The goal is to build a structure that does not warp, fade, or require constant maintenance.
How does a sunroom stay comfortable in Melbourne heat?
Proper ventilation and strategic placement of windows or vents allow air to move through the space. Some homeowners also choose to extend HVAC into the sunroom, though it is not always necessary if the structure is designed with airflow in mind.
Why does a sunroom need its own foundation?
A sunroom is a permanent structure that carries roof load and wall weight. A dedicated foundation or slab extension provides the support needed to keep the addition stable and level over time.
What happens during permitting and inspection?
Watson Construction and Renovation handles the permitting process and schedules inspections as required by local codes. You do not need to coordinate with the building department—the contractor manages that as part of the project.
When should a sunroom be screened instead of enclosed?
If you want outdoor airflow with bug protection and do not need year-round climate control, a screened sunroom is a good fit. Fully enclosed sunrooms offer more temperature control and can function as true interior living space.
