A sunroom sits between an addition and an outdoor project, and the price swings with one decision: three-season or four-season. A four-season room is an addition in every sense — foundation, insulation, HVAC, and full code compliance — while a three-season room skips most of that and gives up winter use.

Estimated range — based on BLS OEWS national average wages and BLS PPI material indexes applied to Our Haus baseline unit costs, as of June 2026. Estimates are shown as a range and help set expectations. They are not a quote, a verified price, or an appraisal of what a contractor will charge.
For April-through-October use, often yes — it is the cheapest glass room you can add and carries a simpler permit path. Go in clear-eyed: unconditioned glass rooms are genuinely unusable in January, and they usually do not count as living area at appraisal.
Prefab room systems install fast and pencil well for three-season use. For a four-season room meant to live like part of the house, stick-built on a real foundation usually wins on comfort, appraisal treatment, and how well it matches the house.
