Sunrooms can be a major plus to your home. Sunny, full of natural light, and often equipped with heating and cooling, they’re a year-round indoor space where you can enjoy relaxing, entertaining, or growing plants. They come in almost any shape and size and can be custom-made or pre-built. You can even find build-your-own sunroom kits if you’re especially handy.

While three-season sunrooms are built using an existing roof or porch cover onto an existing deck or patio, if you’re looking to use your sunroom all year, you’ll need an HVAC system, insulation, and some foundation work. The average cost for a three-season sunroom runs around $20,000, according to Realtor.com. A four-season sunroom would set you back about $45,000.

If you’re ready to add a sunroom to your home—or are still in the brainstorming and planning stages—we’ve rounded up the best sunroom manufacturers, along with what they offer and how much it may cost you.

FAQs

Q. What is a good size sunroom?

The best size for your sunroom depends on how much space you not only have and how much you want to pay. The average cost of a sunroom per foot runs from $80 to $400, according to Forbes, and it varies depending on if it’s a three-season or four-season room. Typically, sunrooms vary in size from 10 by 20 feet to 16 by 24 feet.

Q. What kind of windows are best for sunroom?

You can pick the best sunroom windows based on how you plan to use the space. Double-hung and sliding sunroom windows can help air circulate throughout your sunroom. Casement windows are easy to open even in hard-to-reach spots and will allow a good breeze inside. When it comes to materials, fiberglass will be the most durable in harsh climates, while vinyl is a budget-friendly material and great for energy efficiency. On the other hand, wood windows offer both beauty and warmth.

Q. Is a sunroom a good investment?

Sunrooms don’t have the high rate of return as other spaces in your home, such as bathroom remodels and kitchen renovations. Adding a sunroom will get you about a 49 percent return on your investment, according to HomeAdvisor, which is about half of what you will likely pay for adding the sunroom. However, the investment return depends on how you look at it. If you plan on staying in your home for several years and will use the space often, adding a sunroom will likely be a worthy investment.
