How much does a three season sunroom addition cost? When considering the installation of a sunroom, there are several factors to consider. If a sunroom is being added to an existing space, it’s important to evaluate if a new deck is required and if new footers need to be installed. Additionally, any obstructions such as exhaust fans or water spigots may need to be relocated.
It’s worth noting that the cost of a three-season sunroom, measuring 12 x 12, typically starts around $20,000. However, this estimate does not include the cost of the deck, building permit application and drawings, or other potential factors that may impact the overall cost.
Please keep in mind that these numbers are approximate and can vary depending on various factors such as the specific design, materials used, location, and additional customization options. It’s advisable to consult with a sunroom specialist or contractor to get a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific requirements.

How to Heat and Cool your Sunroom or Solarium? All-season sunrooms, referred to as four-season sunrooms, are meant to be enjoyed all year.
There are three-season sunrooms and all-season sunrooms, and there are solariums and conservatories. Most sunrooms are added to the house without removing the patio door to the house, although sometimes the door is removed, and sometimes an entire section of the house wall is removed to open the sunroom completely to the house.

Although all-season sunroom sales are growing, most sunrooms sold today are three-season rooms. The windows are single-pane glass. Three-season rooms are great for sun worshippers because the smaller sashes (window framing) allow for maximum glass area and maximum ventilation. A three-season room does not alter the existing building envelope.
