A custom sunroom expands your home’s living space while offering a comfortable place to enjoy the outdoors without exposure to harsh weather, bugs, or excessive heat. Whether used as a relaxing retreat, an entertainment space, a home office, or even a playroom for kids, a sunroom brings in natural light and scenic views while maintaining the comfort of an enclosed indoor space.
At All Pro Decks & Patios, we design and build sunrooms tailored to your home’s architecture and your family’s needs. Every project is approached with a focus on durability, aesthetics, and functionality, ensuring that your new sunroom becomes one of the most beloved areas of your home.
Benefits of Adding a Sunroom to Your Home
A sunroom isn’t just an addition—it’s an investment in comfort and lifestyle. Here are some of the most significant benefits:
- Expanded Living Space: A sunroom adds versatile square footage to your home, perfect for lounging, dining, working, or hosting guests.
- Year-Round Enjoyment: Whether a cool fall morning or a warm summer evening, a sunroom lets you enjoy outdoor views without extreme temperatures or insects.
- Energy Efficiency: Well-designed sunrooms use energy-efficient windows and insulation to regulate temperature, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
- Increased Home Value: Homes with well-built sunrooms often attract buyers, adding curb appeal and resale value.
- Health & Well-Being: Exposure to natural light has been proven to improve mood and increase productivity, making sunrooms great for home offices, reading nooks, or exercise areas
Types of Sunrooms and Enclosures
Choosing the correct type of sunroom depends on how you plan to use the space. Here are the most common options:
Four-Season Sunrooms – Maximum Comfort, Any Time of Year
These fully insulated spaces include energy-efficient glass, HVAC integration, and climate control, making them usable in all seasons. They are a valid extension of your home, ideal for everyday use.
- Best for: Homeowners looking for year-round comfort and a permanent living space.
- Features: Insulated glass, weatherproof framing, and complete heating/cooling integration.
Design Tip: Consider floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural light and outdoor views.
Three-Season Rooms – Ideal for Spring Through Fall
Designed for spring, summer, and fall, three-season rooms have glass or acrylic panels that protect against wind and rain but don’t provide full insulation for winter months.
- Best for: Homeowners wanting an affordable option that extends outdoor enjoyment without complete climate control.
- Features: Framed glass or acrylic panels, optional ceiling fans, and light weatherproofing.
- Maintenance Tip: Choose removable or sliding panels to adjust ventilation during warmer months easily.
Screen Rooms – Open-Air Living Without the Bugs
Screen rooms provide fresh air and ventilation while keeping insects and debris out. Unlike glass-enclosed sunrooms, they have mesh walls, allowing a more open, breezy experience.
- Best for: Homeowners who want a bug-free, shaded outdoor space without the cost of a complete enclosure.
- Features: Durable mesh screens, aluminum or wood framing, optional ceiling fans, or lighting.
- Weather Consideration: While screen rooms offer excellent airflow, they don’t effectively block wind, rain, or extreme temperatures like glass enclosures.
Custom Enclosures – Designed to Fit Unique Needs
A custom enclosure can be the perfect answer for homeowners who want a personalized solution. Whether it’s a partially enclosed patio, a hybrid sunroom-screen room, or a pool enclosure, we design spaces that match your home and lifestyle.
- Best for: Homeowners looking for a mix of openness and protection.
- Features: Retractable screens, glass panels, shade covers, or adjustable enclosures.
- Personalization Idea: For a more luxurious experience, consider integrating a hot tub or fire pit into your custom enclosure.

Sunrooms FAQs
How much does a sunroom cost?
Costs vary based on size, materials, and custom features. A three-season room with full insulation and HVAC integration is typically more affordable than a four-season sunroom.
What’s the difference between a sunroom and a screened porch?
A sunroom is enclosed with glass panels, protecting it from the elements and the option for climate control, making it a comfortable space year-round. On the other hand, a screened porch has mesh walls that allow for natural airflow while keeping out insects, but it does not offer insulation or complete weather protection.
Can a sunroom be used as an extra bedroom or office?
Yes! Many homeowners turn sunrooms into guest rooms, home offices, or workout spaces. Insulating them, adding electrical outlets, and providing HVAC access make them functional year-round.
What’s the best flooring for a sunroom?
The best flooring for a sunroom depends on its use and exposure to the elements. Tile or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is durable, moisture-resistant, and handles temperature changes well. Composite decking works best for covered sunrooms, offering a low-maintenance, weather-resistant surface. Carpets or rugs add warmth and comfort in fully enclosed, climate-controlled spaces.
