What's included

Pro tip: A four-season room that ties into the home's heating and finishes reads as real living space and returns more; a three-season or screened room is cheaper but recoups noticeably less.

What affects the cost of a sunroom addition

Three- vs four-season
Insulation, glazing and climate control make a four-season room cost — and return — more than a screened one.
Foundation
A slab or reinforced foundation for a heated room costs more than a simple deck-style base for a three-season room.
Glazing extent
More glass and higher-performance windows raise both cost and comfort.
HVAC tie-in
Extending heating and cooling into the room is what makes it count as living space — and adds cost.
