Sunrooms & Four-Season Rooms in Des Peres, Missouri

Des Peres homes and this kind of project

Because Des Peres is made up of original ranches and the large new homes replacing them, the first thing we check for a four-season room here is which way the room will face, the structure of any porch being converted and how it will be heated and cooled.

The housing stock here: a mix of mid-century ranches and large homes built since 2000.

Glass walls are already part of mid-century design, so a sunroom feels natural.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Des Peres

Screened porches, covered patios and additions. Lot coverage limits are a real constraint given the size of new homes.

Ranch homes in Des Peres extend well. A rear addition under a matching low-slope gable, or a primary suite wing, can look completely original. Lot coverage rules and mature tree protection are the usual constraints.

What is included

Our Des Peres four-season room scope covers design, energy-code documentation, permits, foundation, framing, roofing, low-E windows and patio doors, mini-split HVAC, electrical, insulation, interior finishes and exterior matching.

We take on four-season room work in and around neighborhoods off Manchester, Ballas and Dougherty Ferry roads.

What we watch for

West-facing sunrooms in Des Peres overheat without the right glass coating and some exterior shading. We select glazing by orientation rather than using one window for every wall.

Working on lots where coverage limits are a real constraint, as we do in Des Peres, we plan access for a foundation crew, framers, a roofer, a window installer, an HVAC tech and finishers before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Des Peres

In Des Peres, a four-season room is reviewed by the City of Des Peres. What follows is full addition inspections including energy code.

Exterior work in Des Peres can also involve lot-coverage and height limits, and we put that package together for you.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Des Peres clients see six to ten weeks of construction for a four-season room.

Des Peres sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to I-270 south, about forty minutes. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.

What moves the price in Des Peres

We price sunrooms & four-season rooms in Des Peres from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Roof style, vaulted ceilings and skylights.
• HVAC approach.
