Hear From Our Clients
You get a space flooded with natural light from every angle. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a glass ceiling mean you’re surrounded by views of your yard without dealing with the heat, bugs, or unpredictable weather that comes with actually being outside in Crosby.
A solarium isn’t just another room. It’s insulated, climate-controlled, and built to handle Texas summers and the occasional cold snap. You can use it as a reading spot, a home office, a place to grow plants, or just somewhere to sit with your coffee and watch the rain without getting soaked.
The glass is double-pane and energy-efficient, so you’re not cranking the AC to keep it comfortable. And because it’s all glass, you’re cutting down on how much you rely on lights during the day. It’s functional space that actually adds value to your home and gives you a reason to stay in it more often.
We’ve been building custom solariums and sunrooms for nearly 50 years. We’re a family-owned company, and we’ve worked with enough homeowners in the Houston area to know what holds up in this climate and what doesn’t.
Crosby homeowners deal with heat, humidity, bugs, and weather that changes faster than you can check the forecast. We design residential solariums that account for all of it. Insulated glass, proper ventilation, and structures that don’t warp or leak when the temperature swings.
We’re licensed, insured, and we don’t disappear after the install. You’re working with people who’ve done this long enough to get it right the first time.
First, we come to your property in Crosby and look at where you want the solarium. We measure the space, talk about how you plan to use it, and go over options like curved eave designs or straight glass panels. You tell us what matters most—views, privacy, how much sun exposure you want—and we design around that.
Once the design is set, we handle permits and prep work. Then our crew builds the foundation, installs the frame, and fits the glass panels. Everything is sealed and insulated so it’s weatherproof and energy-efficient. We add climate control if you want heating or cooling, and we make sure doors and windows operate smoothly.
After installation, we walk you through everything and make sure it’s exactly what you expected. The whole process typically takes a few weeks depending on size and customization. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we keep you updated as we go.

Every solarium we build in Crosby uses double-pane insulated glass that’s Energy Star-certified. That means it deflects heat and UV rays while still letting in plenty of natural light. You’re not sitting in a greenhouse—you’re sitting in a comfortable, temperature-controlled space with a view.
The structure itself is custom-fit to your home. We’re not dropping a prefab box on your property. Whether you want a curved eave solarium with angled glass or a more traditional rectangular design, it’s built to match your home’s layout and your preferences.
You also get a dedicated foundation, proper drainage, and sealed entry points so bugs and water stay out. In Crosby, that’s not optional—it’s necessary. Mosquitoes, fire ants, and cockroaches are relentless here, especially in summer. A solarium gives you the outdoor connection without the pests. And when storms roll through, you’re dry, comfortable, and still able to enjoy the sound of rain without the mess.
A sunroom typically has a mix of glass windows and solid walls or roof panels. A solarium is all glass—walls and ceiling. That means more natural light, better views, and a structure that feels more like an outdoor space even though it’s fully enclosed.
Solariums are built with thicker insulated glass and are designed to be used year-round with heating and cooling. Sunrooms can be three-season or four-season depending on how they’re built, but solariums are specifically engineered for climate control and maximum light exposure.
If you want to feel like you’re outside without actually being outside, a solarium is the better choice. If you want a room with windows and some outdoor views, a sunroom works. It comes down to how much glass you want and how you plan to use the space.
Yes, if it’s built right. The glass we use is double-pane and insulated, which means it deflects a lot of the radiant heat that would otherwise turn the space into an oven. We also install solar shades and ventilation to keep air moving.
Most solariums in Crosby get a dedicated HVAC system or a mini-split unit so you can control the temperature independently from the rest of your house. That way, you’re not overworking your main AC or sitting in a hot box during August.
Without proper insulation and climate control, a solarium would be unbearable in Texas. But with the right materials and setup, it stays comfortable even when it’s 95 degrees outside. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what works in this climate.
Most residential solariums in the Houston area run between $30,000 and $75,000 depending on size, glass type, and how much customization you want. A basic solarium with standard glass and minimal features will be on the lower end. A larger curved eave solarium with premium insulated glass, integrated HVAC, and custom finishes will cost more.
We offer financing options including unsecured loans up to $125,000 with competitive rates, so you’re not stuck paying everything upfront. And because a solarium adds real square footage and increases your home’s resale value, it’s not just an expense—it’s an investment.
We give you a detailed estimate after we see your property and understand what you’re looking for. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what it costs before we start building.
Yes. Solariums add functional living space that counts toward your home’s total square footage, and they’re a selling point for buyers who want natural light and outdoor views. In Crosby, where the median home value is around $202,700, a well-built solarium can add significant appeal and market value.
Most sunrooms and solariums offer a return on investment between 40% and 60%, depending on the quality of construction and how well it’s maintained. Buyers in the Houston area are looking for energy-efficient features and outdoor living spaces, and a solarium checks both boxes.
Even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon, you’re still getting a space that improves your quality of life and makes your home more enjoyable to live in. That’s worth something regardless of resale value.
Yes. Any permanent structure that adds square footage to your home requires a permit in Crosby and Harris County. That includes solariums, sunrooms, and other glass room additions.
We handle the permit process for you. We submit the plans, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets local building codes. You don’t have to deal with the paperwork or worry about whether it’s done right.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it causes problems when you try to sell your home or file an insurance claim. We do it by the book so you don’t have issues down the road.
Most solarium projects in Crosby take between three and six weeks from start to finish. That includes design, permits, foundation work, framing, glass installation, and final touches like sealing and climate control setup.
Larger or more complex designs—like a curved eave solarium with custom angles—might take a bit longer. Weather can also affect the timeline, especially if we’re pouring a foundation during a stretch of heavy rain.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. We’re not going to tell you two weeks and then drag it out for two months. You’ll know what to expect, and we’ll stick to it.
