Hear From Our Clients
You get a room that feels like you’re outside without dealing with the reality of being outside in Clear Lake. That means no mosquitos the size of hummingbirds cutting your evening short. No stepping back inside when the humidity makes your shirt stick to your back. No watching storms roll in from the bay and having to pack everything up.
A solarium gives you floor-to-ceiling glass with actual climate control. You’re looking at the water, the trees, the sky—but you’re sitting in 72 degrees with a cold drink and zero bug bites. It’s built as a real room addition, insulated and sealed, so you can use it in July and January without thinking twice.
This isn’t a screened porch with a fan. It’s a glass room addition that becomes your favorite spot in the house because it actually works when you want to use it.
We’ve been building solariums for nearly 50 years. We’re not new to this, and we’re not experimenting with your home. Every installation in Clear Lake is handled by our trained builders who know how to work with your existing structure, your roofline, and Houston’s climate demands.
We’re a family-owned company, and we operate like one. That means you’re not handed off to a different person every week. You get clear communication, realistic timelines, and a team that shows up when we say we will.
Clear Lake homeowners have high standards—good schools, well-kept properties, proximity to the water. You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for the right one. That’s what we build.
It starts with a consultation at your home. We look at where you want the solarium, how it connects to your house, what kind of view you’re working with, and what you actually want to use the space for. We’re not selling you a package—we’re designing something specific to your property.
From there, we walk you through design options. That includes roof styles like curved eave, straight eave, or cathedral, plus glass performance levels depending on sun exposure and how much cooling you want to offset. We’ll also talk about heating and cooling options, because a solarium in Clear Lake without climate control is just an expensive greenhouse.
Once the design is locked, we handle permitting and scheduling. Our installation team shows up with everything they need, and they work clean. The structure gets built, glass gets installed, and all the sealing and insulation happens before we call it done. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we stick to it.
After installation, you get a walkthrough. We make sure you know how everything works, answer any questions, and don’t leave until you’re comfortable with your new space.
Ready to get started?
Every solarium we build in Clear Lake uses insulated glass designed for thermal performance. That’s not marketing talk—it means the glass is built to reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. We use CONSERVAGLASS™ NXT with Stay-Clean Technology, which handles UV protection and makes maintenance easier because it resists dirt and water spots.
You’re also getting a structure that integrates with your home’s existing roofline. Whether that’s a curved eave design that made us famous or a modern straight eave that fits a contemporary home, it’s built to look like it was always part of the house. No awkward add-on appearance.
Climate control is part of the conversation from day one. Most Clear Lake solariums get fitted with a dedicated HVAC unit sized for the space. That’s how you use the room in August without melting and in January without freezing.
The exterior is maintenance-free, which matters when you’re this close to the Gulf. Salt air, humidity, and sun exposure don’t do your home any favors, and we’re not giving you another thing to repaint or reseal every few years. You get a finished space that holds up without constant attention.
A sunroom typically has a solid roof with some windows. A solarium has glass everywhere—walls and roof. That’s the short version.
The longer version is that a solarium is built for people who want maximum natural light and unobstructed views. If you’re in Clear Lake and you’re looking at the water or a wooded lot, you probably don’t want a solid roof cutting off half your sightline. A solarium gives you floor-to-ceiling glass and a glass roof, so you’re surrounded by your view.
The tradeoff used to be temperature control. Old solariums were beautiful but brutal in summer. That’s not the case anymore. With insulated glass, proper ventilation, and a right-sized HVAC unit, a solarium in Clear Lake stays comfortable year-round. You’re not choosing between views and comfort—you get both.
Yes, if it’s built right. And that’s the whole point.
A solarium without insulated glass and climate control is a sauna from May to October. But when you use high-performance glass designed to block heat gain and pair it with a dedicated heating and cooling system, the space stays livable no matter what’s happening outside. We’re not asking you to tough it out with a ceiling fan.
The glass we install is engineered for thermal performance. It reduces the amount of heat that transfers through, which means your HVAC isn’t fighting a losing battle. And because the entire structure is sealed and insulated where it connects to your home, you’re not losing conditioned air through gaps or poor construction.
Houston summers are long and miserable if you’re trying to enjoy outdoor space the traditional way. A solarium lets you keep your view and your comfort at the same time.
There’s no one-size-fits-all number because every solarium is different. Size, glass type, roof design, and whether you’re adding HVAC all affect the final cost.
That said, you’re looking at a real room addition with a foundation, insulated glass, and climate control. It’s not a weekend DIY project, and it’s not something you want to cheap out on. Most Clear Lake homeowners are investing in a space that adds value to their property and gets used every single day, so the return is both financial and functional.
We offer flexible financing, including unsecured loans up to $125,000 with competitive rates. That makes it easier to move forward without waiting years to save up or disrupting your cash flow. During your consultation, we’ll give you a detailed estimate based on exactly what you want, and we’ll walk through financing options if that’s helpful. No surprises, no pressure.
Yes. A well-built solarium adds functional square footage, and it’s the kind of upgrade that makes your home stand out in a competitive market.
Clear Lake’s housing market is strong. The area attracts buyers who want quality schools, waterfront access, and move-in-ready homes with desirable features. A custom glass enclosure checks all those boxes. It’s not a cosmetic upgrade—it’s livable space that expands how someone can use the home.
Houston’s 2026 market is seeing steady price growth, and buyers are prioritizing energy efficiency and modern features. A solarium with high-performance glass and dedicated climate control fits that trend perfectly. You’re adding a room that people actually want, not just square footage for the sake of it.
Beyond resale value, you’re also getting a space you’ll use constantly. That’s value you experience now, not just when you sell.
Most solarium installations take two to four weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. That includes permitting, which we handle.
The timeline breaks down like this: design and permitting usually take one to two weeks. Actual construction and installation take another one to two weeks. We’re not dragging the project out, but we’re also not rushing through steps that matter. Everything gets sealed correctly, glass gets installed without gaps, and the finished product looks clean.
Weather can affect the schedule since part of the work happens outside, but we plan around that and keep you updated if anything shifts. You’ll know the expected timeline before we start, and we don’t leave tools and materials sitting in your yard for weeks while we bounce between jobs.
Clear Lake homeowners are busy, and your time matters. We show up when scheduled, work efficiently, and finish the job so you can start using your new space.
Yes. A solarium is a permanent structure and a room addition, so it requires permits through your local jurisdiction.
We handle that process. Permitting isn’t something you need to figure out on your own or stand in line at the county office for. We pull the permits, submit the plans, and make sure everything is up to code before construction starts. That includes structural requirements, setback rules, and any HOA guidelines if your neighborhood has them.
Clear Lake has specific building codes, and we’re familiar with what’s required. The last thing you want is to build something beautiful and then find out it doesn’t pass inspection or creates issues when you go to sell. We make sure it’s done right from the beginning, so there’s no backtracking or expensive fixes later.
Once the project is complete, we handle the final inspection. You get a finished solarium that’s fully permitted and code-compliant, which protects your investment and keeps everything clean for resale down the road.
