Southern Exposure Sunrooms Featured on Local TV in Charleston and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Outdoor living is a major part of life in South Carolina, but the state’s climate can make it challenging to enjoy a porch or normal outdoor space throughout the year. From summer heat and afternoon rain to seasonal pollen and insects, homeowners often find themselves looking for ways to make their outdoor living spaces more comfortable.
This fall, Southern Exposure Sunrooms had the opportunity to share its expertise on two local television programs in South Carolina. Company owner Peter Murray was featured on ABC4 News’ Lowcountry Live in Charleston, while Shane O’Neill, Production Manager for Southern Exposure Sunrooms’ Myrtle Beach office, appeared on WFXB FOX TV’s Carolina AM.
Both interviews explored the benefits of sunrooms, how South Carolina’s climate influences outdoor living, and how homeowners can create additional living space they can enjoy more often throughout the year.
Peter Murray Featured on ABC4 News’ Lowcountry Live in Charleston
On August 28, Southern Exposure Sunrooms owner Peter Murray was interviewed by ABC4 News’ Lowcountry Live during the Charleston Fall Home Show in Mount Pleasant.
The conversation covered Southern Exposure Sunrooms’ recent launch in the Charleston market, the benefits of adding a sunroom to a home, and what differentiates the company from other sunroom builders.
Expanding Southern Exposure Sunrooms Into Charleston
Southern Exposure Sunrooms has been building custom sunrooms across the Carolinas for more than 20 years. With established markets in Wilmington, Raleigh and Myrtle Beach, the company recently expanded into the Charleston market.
When asked how the Charleston launch has been going, Peter described the experience as an exciting opportunity to bring Southern Exposure’s approach to outdoor living to more South Carolina homeowners.
The Charleston market also presents a particularly strong opportunity for sunrooms because of the region’s climate and seasonal conditions.
As Peter explained during the interview:
“With the climate that you have down here and the pollen season, screen rooms don’t get enough use.”
Rather than allowing a porch or screened-in space to sit unused during uncomfortable weather, Southern Exposure Sunrooms specializes in transforming outdoor spaces into more functional 3-season and 4-season sunrooms using high-quality window and enclosure systems.
The result is an outdoor living space that homeowners can enjoy significantly more throughout the year.
Why Add a Sunroom to Your South Carolina Home?
One of the biggest topics discussed during Peter’s interview was the value a sunroom can bring to a home.
South Carolina homeowners experience a wide range of weather conditions throughout the year. A traditional open porch or screened-in porch can be enjoyable on a beautiful spring or fall day, but heat, cold temperatures, rain, bugs, and pollen can quickly make an outdoor space less comfortable.
A professionally designed sunroom can help homeowners overcome many of those challenges.
Instead of having an outdoor space that can only be enjoyed when the weather is perfect, a sunroom can create a more comfortable environment for everyday living. Peter mentioned that many common uses for customers’ sunrooms consist of enjoying morning coffee, hosting friends and family, relaxing, and having an afternoon cocktail in the comfort of your outdoor living space.
For many homeowners, the greatest benefit isn’t simply adding square footage to their home. It’s finally being able to use and enjoy an existing outdoor space more often.
Peter was also asked what makes Southern Exposure Sunrooms stand out in the industry.
His answer goes beyond the products themselves.
Southern Exposure Sunrooms is built around three core values: Craftsmanship, Integrity and Service.
Quality construction is an important part of every project, but the company believes that the customer experience matters just as much.
From the initial consultation and design process through installation and the completion of a project, Southern Exposure focuses on communication, attention to detail, and providing homeowners with a finished space they can feel proud of.
With more than 20 years in business and thousands of sunrooms built throughout the Carolinas, Southern Exposure Sunrooms has developed its reputation around quality craftsmanship and customer service.
Shane O’Neill Discusses Sunroom Options on WFXB FOX TV
On September 8, Shane O’Neill, Production Manager for Southern Exposure Sunrooms’ Myrtle Beach office, appeared on WFXB FOX TV’s Carolina AM.
The interview focused on ways homeowners can increase their home’s livable space, with a discussion about the company’s 3-season and 4-season sunroom options.
3-Season and 4-Season Sunrooms
Southern Exposure Sunrooms offers two primary types of custom sunroom spaces: 3-season sunrooms and 4-season glass sunrooms.
Shane explains that a 3-season sunroom uses polyvinyl panels that can be opened and closed depending on the weather. The system can provide up to 75% ventilation, allowing homeowners to enjoy fresh air while having the ability to close the panels when conditions change.
For homeowners looking for a more climate-controlled space, a 4-season sunroom uses high-quality glass windows and doors. Sliding glass windows and doors provide ventilation when desired, while the enclosed design creates a more comfortable space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
These options allow homeowners to choose a sunroom solution based on how they want to use their space.
Keeping South Carolina Pollen Outside
For homeowners throughout the Carolinas, pollen is one of the biggest obstacles to enjoying outdoor living.
During Shane’s interview, the conversation turned to one of the most common concerns he hears from Southern Exposure Sunrooms customers: keeping pollen out of their outdoor living spaces.
“The biggest thing with our customers is the pollen — trying to keep that out. It’s a big deal.”
A sunroom can provide a barrier between the home’s living space and the outdoor elements, helping homeowners enjoy the natural light and views of being outside without being exposed to pollen, insects, rain, and other outdoor conditions.
For South Carolina homeowners who love their outdoor spaces but find themselves avoiding them during peak pollen season, a sunroom can provide a more comfortable alternative.
See Southern Exposure Sunrooms at the Myrtle Beach Home Show
Shane’s WFXB interview also highlighted Southern Exposure Sunrooms’ upcoming appearance at the Myrtle Beach Home Improvement and Outdoor Living Show, taking place September 11–13.
Homeowners attending the show will have the opportunity to see both glass sunroom systems and EZE-Breeze panels in person.
Seeing the products firsthand can help homeowners better understand the differences between a 3-season and 4-season sunroom and determine which option may be the right fit for their home and lifestyle.
For those unable to attend the home show, Southern Exposure Sunrooms also has a showroom in Myrtle Beach where homeowners can see the products in person.
Bringing Outdoor Living to More South Carolina Homeowners
The two television appearances highlight an exciting time for Southern Exposure Sunrooms as the company continues expanding throughout the Carolinas.
From Charleston and Myrtle Beach to Raleigh and Wilmington, Southern Exposure Sunrooms is helping homeowners create custom outdoor living spaces designed around the way they actually want to live.
