Your home gets darker than it should. Rooms feel closed off. You’re running lights during the day just to see clearly, and your electric bill shows it.
A solarium changes that. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings natural light into your home without the maintenance headaches you’re probably worried about. The right glass technology means you’re not adding a greenhouse that bakes in summer or freezes in winter. You’re adding functional square footage that works in Houston’s heat and handles the occasional cold snap without turning into a liability.
Curved eave solariums do more than look good. They shed water better, reduce glare, and give you unobstructed views of your yard. You get a room that feels open without feeling exposed. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes your home feel bigger, brighter, and more valuable—whether you’re planning to sell in five years or stay for twenty.
We’ve been doing this since before solariums were a trend. We’ve installed thousands of glass enclosures across the country, and we’ve learned what works in climates like Northside’s—where summer heat isn’t optional and winter cold shows up just enough to matter.
We’re not a general contractor trying to figure out glass on the fly. This is what we do. Every consultation is free, every estimate is detailed, and every installation is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We use CONSERVAGLASS SELECT™ with Stay-Clean Technology because it performs in Texas weather and cuts down on the maintenance you’d otherwise be doing every month.
Northside homeowners need solutions that fit their budget and their property. We handle financing up to $125,000, and we work with you to design something that makes sense for your home—not just what’s easiest for us to build.
You call or fill out a form. We schedule a free in-home consultation where we look at your space, talk about what you want, and figure out what’s actually possible given your home’s layout and your budget.
Once we agree on a design, you get a detailed estimate. No surprises, no hidden costs—just a clear breakdown of materials, labor, and timeline. If you need financing, we handle that too.
Installation starts once permits are pulled and materials arrive. Our team builds the solarium on-site, working around your schedule as much as possible. Most projects take a few weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. We clean up when we’re done, walk you through everything, and make sure you’re comfortable with how it all works before we leave.

A solarium is mostly glass—roof included. That’s the difference between this and a traditional sunroom. You get more natural light, better views, and a space that feels open in a way that partial-glass rooms don’t.
In Northside, where home values have been climbing and outdoor living is part of the lifestyle, a glass room addition makes sense. The median home price here is around $252,000, and adding a well-built solarium can push your property value higher while giving you a space you actually use. It’s not just about resale—it’s about living in a home that feels better day to day.
The curved eave design we use most often isn’t just aesthetic. It handles Houston’s heavy rain better than flat or straight designs, and it reduces the harsh glare you’d get from a standard glass roof. Energy-efficient glass keeps the space comfortable without cranking your AC or heat. You’re not adding a room that sits empty half the year. You’re adding square footage that works.
A sunroom typically has a solid roof with windows on the walls. A solarium has glass everywhere—including the roof. That means more natural light and better views, but it also means you need the right glass technology to avoid turning the space into an oven in summer or an icebox in winter.
Solariums cost more upfront because you’re using more glass and more advanced materials. But if maximum light is what you’re after, a sunroom won’t get you there. The glass roof is what makes the difference.
In Northside’s climate, energy-efficient glass is non-negotiable. We use CONSERVAGLASS™ technology that regulates temperature and reduces UV exposure. You get the light without the heat penalty.
Most residential solariums in this area run between $30,000 and $80,000, depending on size, glass type, and how much site prep is needed. Curved eave designs cost more than straight-eave, but they perform better and look better. If your yard has drainage issues or your home needs structural reinforcement, that adds to the cost.
We give you a detailed estimate after the consultation so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No ballpark guesses, no “it depends” without explaining what it depends on.
Financing is available up to $125,000 if you’d rather spread the cost out. Most homeowners in Northside finance at least part of the project, especially if they’re doing other upgrades at the same time.
Yes, but how much depends on the quality of the build and how well it fits your home. A poorly installed glass room that leaks or overheats won’t help you. A well-designed solarium with energy-efficient glass and proper integration with your existing structure can add significant value.
In Northside, where the median home price is around $252,000 and owner-occupancy is above 50%, buyers are looking for homes that offer more than the basics. A functional, attractive glass room addition sets your property apart. It’s extra living space, natural light, and a feature that photographs well when it’s time to list.
Real estate professionals consistently rank outdoor living upgrades as high-impact improvements. A solarium checks that box while also adding indoor square footage. You’re covering two value drivers with one project.
The glass does most of the work. CONSERVAGLASS SELECT™ is designed to block heat while letting light through. It’s not regular window glass—it’s engineered to handle climates like Houston’s where summer temps sit in the 90s for months.
Ventilation matters too. We design solariums with airflow in mind so heat doesn’t get trapped at the roof line. Depending on your setup, you might add a ceiling fan or tie the space into your home’s HVAC system. Most people find that the glass alone keeps the space comfortable without major climate control upgrades.
Curved eave designs help with heat management because they reduce direct overhead sun exposure compared to flat glass roofs. The angle deflects some of the intensity, and the Stay-Clean coating reduces heat absorption. You’re not going to turn a solarium into a meat locker in July, but it won’t be unbearable either.
Less than you’d think, especially with Stay-Clean Technology. The glass coating breaks down organic debris when it’s exposed to sunlight, so you’re not scrubbing bird droppings and pollen off the roof every weekend. Rain does most of the cleaning work for you.
You’ll still need to hose down the glass a few times a year and wipe down the frames, but it’s not the constant upkeep people assume. The curved eave design also helps because water runs off instead of pooling, which means less spotting and streaking.
If you’re in an area with a lot of trees, you’ll deal with more debris. But even then, the maintenance is manageable. Most Northside homeowners spend less time maintaining their solarium than they do mowing the lawn.
Most installations take two to four weeks once permits are approved and materials arrive. Smaller, simpler designs go faster. Larger custom builds with site prep or structural modifications take longer.
Permitting timelines vary depending on the city and how backed up the building department is. We handle that process, but it’s not something we control. Once we’re cleared to start, the actual construction moves quickly.
We work around your schedule as much as possible. You don’t need to take time off work or rearrange your life for weeks. Most of the work happens outside, and we clean up at the end of each day. You’ll know the timeline before we start, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
