Built for McLean
McLean’s housing runs from established mid-century homes on wooded lots to new luxury builds and estate properties, and a sunroom has to suit the house it joins. On McLean’s larger lots the constraint is rarely space — it’s matching the architecture and working within the setbacks.
That’s where an in-house design-build team earns its keep: we match the roofline, proportions, and finishes so the addition reads as original to the home instead of bolted on. The same person who plans your sunroom is accountable for it through final inspection.
Permits & zoning
Because McLean is unincorporated Fairfax County, your sunroom is permitted directly through the county — there’s no separate town approval to clear. Here’s how it works:
- A sunroom is filed as a residential addition in the county’s PLUS portal, with plans uploaded digitally.
- The building permit covers the structure; electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits follow once it’s issued, and a new HVAC system needs a Residential HVAC Certification before the mechanical permit is released.
- Because a four-season sunroom is conditioned space, the plans document insulation R-values and window U-factors to meet the Virginia energy code.
- Zoning sets your setbacks and lot coverage, and building height is capped at 35 feet to the roof midpoint.
- If your sunroom sits on an existing deck, the county needs the deck’s attachment and load details before approving it.
We handle the full PLUS submission, the trade permits, energy documentation, and inspections — and we pull the permits as the licensed responsible party, which the county recommends over a homeowner filing their own.
Three- or four-season
A three-season room is open and light for spring through fall; a four-season room is fully insulated and conditioned for year-round use as living space. In McLean’s climate, four-season is what turns a sunroom into a room you use in February, not just June.
Our full breakdown of the construction and energy-code decisions is on our sunroom additions page and in our construction guide.
