Hear From Our Clients
You’re not looking for just another room. You want space that brings the outdoors in without the bugs, the sweat, or the unpredictability of Texas weather.
A solarium does exactly that. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a full glass roof give you unobstructed views and natural light from every angle. But here’s what matters more: the right glass technology keeps it cool when it’s 100 degrees outside and comfortable when winter finally shows up.
That means you’re not adding square footage you’ll avoid half the year. You’re creating a space you’ll use daily—for morning coffee, family time, or just a quiet spot that doesn’t feel like the rest of your house. It’s an investment that changes how you live at home, not just how your home looks.
In Tomball and the greater Houston area, homeowners typically see a 65-75% return on a well-designed glass room addition. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a reflection of what buyers value when they see quality work that actually functions in this climate.
We’ve been building residential solariums and glass enclosures for close to 50 years. We’re not a national chain that parachutes in for a project and disappears. We’re a locally operated dealer backed by a proven system, which means you get the benefits of tested engineering and the accountability of a team that lives and works in the Houston area.
We’ve built enough projects in Tomball and surrounding neighborhoods to know what works here. The heat isn’t theoretical. The afternoon storms aren’t a surprise. When we design your solarium, we’re accounting for the same conditions we deal with at our own homes.
You’ll work with people who show up when they say they will, communicate clearly throughout the process, and don’t disappear once the final payment clears. That’s not a tagline—it’s how we’ve stayed in business and maintained a 5-star rating.
It starts with a free consultation at your home. We’ll look at the space, talk about how you want to use it, and go over what’s realistic for your property and budget. No pressure, no gimmicks—just a straightforward conversation about whether a solarium makes sense for you.
If you decide to move forward, we’ll create a custom design that fits your home’s architecture. That includes choosing the right glass, framing, and layout. For most projects, we recommend a curved eave solarium design—it’s elegant, maximizes light, and integrates cleanly with existing rooflines.
Once the design is finalized and permits are handled, our installation team takes over. These aren’t subcontractors we found last week—they’re trained professionals who’ve built hundreds of sunrooms and glass enclosures. The timeline depends on the scope, but most residential solariums in the Tomball area are completed within a few weeks.
After installation, we walk through everything with you to make sure it’s right. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied. And if something comes up down the road, we’re still here.

A solarium isn’t the same as a standard sunroom. The difference is in the glass coverage. While a traditional sunroom might have large windows and a solid roof, a solarium is enclosed entirely in glass—including the ceiling. That gives you a true 360-degree connection to the outdoors and maximum natural light.
We use CONSERVAGLASS™ technology in our builds. It’s energy-efficient glass designed to block heat while letting light through, which is critical in Texas. Without it, your beautiful glass room becomes a greenhouse you can’t use from May to September.
The structure itself is built with insulated framing and engineered to handle wind loads and weather exposure. In Tomball, that means designing for sudden storms, high heat, and the occasional freeze. Everything is custom-fit to your home’s dimensions and style, so it doesn’t look like an add-on—it looks like it was always meant to be there.
You’ll also have options for ventilation, lighting, and climate control. Some clients add HVAC integration so the solarium stays comfortable year-round. Others prefer ceiling fans and operable windows. We’ll talk through what makes sense based on how you plan to use the space and what your budget allows.
Financing is available up to $125,000 with competitive rates, so you’re not forced to drain savings or wait years to move forward. And everything we install is backed by a warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
There’s no one-size-fits-all number, because every solarium is custom-built. Size, glass type, foundation work, and design complexity all affect the final price.
That said, most residential solariums in the Houston area start around $30,000 and can go up from there depending on what you’re adding. A smaller curved eave solarium with standard features will cost less than a large, fully climate-controlled glass room with premium finishes.
We offer free estimates, and we’ll give you a clear breakdown of costs before you commit to anything. We also provide financing options up to $125,000, which lets you move forward without waiting or liquidating other assets. The goal is to make this investment manageable, not stressful.
Yes—if it’s built right. A poorly designed glass room in Texas is basically a sauna. But with the right materials and planning, a solarium can stay comfortable even when it’s over 100 degrees outside.
The key is using energy-efficient glass like CONSERVAGLASS™, which blocks heat while still letting in natural light. We also design for airflow and often integrate HVAC or high-performance fans to keep air moving. Insulated framing helps too—it prevents heat transfer and keeps your energy costs from spiking.
Most of our clients in Tomball use their solariums daily throughout the summer. It’s not as cool as a windowless room with blackout curtains, but it’s far more comfortable than being outside, and it doesn’t feel like you’re sitting in a fishbowl. If climate control is a priority for you, we’ll design the space with that in mind from the start.
The main difference is how much glass is used. A sunroom typically has large windows and a solid, insulated roof—so you get plenty of light but not a full overhead view. A solarium has glass walls and a glass roof, giving you an unobstructed view in every direction, including up.
Solariums let in more natural light and create a stronger indoor-outdoor connection. They’re ideal if you want to feel like you’re outside without actually being exposed to heat, bugs, or weather. The tradeoff is that they require better glass technology and more careful climate planning, especially in a place like Texas.
Sunrooms are often easier to heat and cool because of the insulated roof, but they don’t offer the same visual impact. If your priority is maximum light and views, a solarium is the better choice. If energy efficiency and temperature control are more important, a four-season sunroom might make more sense. We can walk through both options during your consultation.
Most residential solarium projects in Tomball take between two and six weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Smaller builds with straightforward layouts move faster. Larger custom designs with foundation work or HVAC integration take longer.
Permitting and design approval can add time on the front end, but we handle that process for you. Once construction starts, our installation team works efficiently without cutting corners. We’re not interested in dragging out timelines or rushing through details—we’re focused on doing it right the first time.
Weather can occasionally cause delays, especially during storm season, but we’ll keep you updated if anything shifts. You’ll know the projected timeline before we start, and we’ll communicate with you throughout the process so there are no surprises.
Yes. Any permanent structure that adds square footage to your home requires a permit in Tomball and the surrounding areas. That includes solariums, sunrooms, and other glass enclosures.
We handle the permitting process for you, so you’re not stuck navigating city offices or figuring out code requirements on your own. We’ll pull the necessary permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is up to local building standards. It’s part of the service—not an extra headache you have to manage.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it creates problems down the road when you try to sell your home or file an insurance claim. Doing it right from the start protects your investment and keeps you out of trouble with the city.
In most cases, yes—but the return depends on the quality of the work and how well the solarium fits your home. A well-designed glass room addition that’s functional, attractive, and built to last typically returns 65-75% of its cost in the Houston area.
That’s not a guaranteed number, and it won’t be the same for every property. But buyers in Texas actively look for homes with outdoor living features, and a solarium checks that box while offering year-round usability. It’s especially appealing in neighborhoods where outdoor space is limited or where homeowners want to enjoy their yards without dealing with heat and bugs.
Beyond resale value, there’s the practical benefit of actually using the space while you live there. If a solarium gives you a room you love and use daily, the return on investment isn’t just financial—it’s in how much more you enjoy being home.
