Can any three-season sunroom be converted to four-season?

Most can, but it depends on the existing structure. The foundation needs to be solid and properly sized. The frame needs to be in good condition without significant rust or damage. And there needs to be adequate ceiling height for insulation. We inspect everything first to make sure conversion makes sense. If the structure is sound, we can typically upgrade to four-season by adding insulation, installing energy-efficient windows, and integrating HVAC. If there are foundation or structural problems, starting new might be more cost-effective.

How long does a sunroom conversion take?

Timeline depends on the scope of work. A simple window replacement might take 1 to 2 weeks. Converting three-season to four-season with insulation and HVAC typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. Major renovations that involve structural changes, electrical upgrades, and extensive finishing work can take 6 to 8 weeks. We give you a detailed schedule after designing your specific project. Weather and permit processing time can affect schedules, so we build in buffer time to account for delays.

Will upgrading my sunroom improve energy efficiency?

Absolutely. That's often the main reason Georgetown homeowners upgrade their sunrooms. Replacing single-pane windows with double or triple-pane glass dramatically reduces heat gain in summer. Adding proper insulation to the roof and walls keeps conditioned air where it belongs. And integrating your sunroom properly with your home's HVAC means you're not trying to cool or heat an inefficient space. Many clients see noticeable drops in their energy bills after upgrading, especially if their old sunroom was fighting their AC system all summer.

Already have a sunroom but it's not working the way you hoped? Maybe it's too hot in summer, too cold in winter, or just showing its age. You don't necessarily need to tear it down and start over. We can often upgrade your existing sunroom to make it comfortable, energy-efficient, and exactly what you need.

Our sunroom conversion and upgrade services transform existing structures into spaces you'll actually use. Whether you want to convert a three-season room to four-season, replace outdated materials, or completely reimagine the space, we handle projects of all sizes.

Types of Sunroom Conversions We Do

Every conversion project is different, but these are the most common upgrades Georgetown homeowners ask for.

Popular Conversion Options:

•Three-Season to Four-Season: Add insulation, upgrade windows, and integrate HVAC for year-round comfort
•Screen Room to Glass Enclosure: Replace screens with windows for better weather protection
•Window Replacement: Upgrade old single-pane glass to energy-efficient double or triple-pane
•Roof Upgrades: Replace aging roof panels or add insulation to reduce heat gain
•Interior Finishing: Add drywall, proper flooring, and trim work to make it feel like a real room
•HVAC Integration: Connect your sunroom to your home's heating and cooling system

Sometimes clients want cosmetic updates like new flooring and fresh paint. Other times they need structural improvements to fix problems or add functionality. We assess your current structure and recommend what makes the most sense for your goals and budget.

When Upgrading Makes More Sense Than Starting Over

The big question is whether to upgrade your existing sunroom or tear it down and build new. Here's how we help you decide.

Good Candidates for Conversion

If your sunroom has a solid foundation and sound structure, upgrading usually makes financial sense. You're already working with a permitted structure attached to your house. The foundation, roof framing, and basic footprint are done. You're just improving what's there rather than starting from scratch.

Most sunrooms built in the last 20 years can be successfully upgraded. The key is whether the frame and foundation are in good condition. We inspect everything carefully before recommending a conversion approach.

When New Construction Makes More Sense

Sometimes starting over is the better choice. If your existing sunroom has foundation problems, structural damage, or is poorly built, trying to salvage it might cost more than building new. We'll be honest about what we find. Our goal is to give you the best value, not sell you the most expensive option.

How We Handle Sunroom Conversions

Converting an existing sunroom is different from new sunroom installation. We need to work with what's there while bringing everything up to current standards.

Inspection and Assessment

We start by thoroughly inspecting your current sunroom. We look at the foundation for settling or cracks, check the frame for rust or damage, test windows and doors, inspect the roof system, and examine electrical and any existing HVAC. This tells us what we're working with and what needs attention.

Design and Planning

Once we know the condition of your sunroom, we design the conversion. This might mean selecting new windows that fit existing openings or redesigning sections to improve functionality. We show you material options and explain what each upgrade accomplishes. You'll know exactly what you're getting before we start work.

Permits and Code Compliance

Significant upgrades usually require permits, especially if we're adding HVAC, upgrading electrical, or making structural changes. We handle all permit applications and make sure your upgraded sunroom meets current building codes. Older sunrooms might have been built to different standards, so we bring everything up to today's requirements.

Phased Construction

We often complete conversion work in phases to minimize disruption. For example, we might do windows first, then roof work, then interior finishing. This approach keeps part of your sunroom usable during construction when possible. Timeline varies based on project scope but typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks.

Upgrading Sunrooms in Georgetown

Georgetown has a mix of home ages and styles, which means we see sunrooms built over several decades. Some were built when energy efficiency wasn't a priority. Others were designed for different climates and don't work well here.

Common problems we fix in Georgetown sunrooms include inadequate cooling, poor insulation leading to high energy bills, aging single-pane windows that don't block heat, outdated electrical systems, and water infiltration around seals and flashing.

We've been working on sunrooms in this area since 2024, so we understand what works in Central Texas climate. We know which window specifications handle our sun exposure. We know how to properly integrate HVAC so your system isn't overworked. And we know what Williamson County inspectors expect to see on conversion projects.

What Sunroom Conversions Cost

Conversion costs vary widely based on what you're changing. A simple window replacement might run $5,000 to $15,000. Converting a three-season room to four-season with insulation, new windows, and HVAC integration could be $20,000 to $50,000. Major renovations that involve structural changes can go higher.

Generally, expect to pay 50% to 75% of what new construction would cost. You're saving on foundation work, basic framing, and roof structure. Your money goes toward improving the space rather than building it from scratch.

We provide detailed quotes after inspecting your sunroom. We'll break down costs by component so you understand where your investment goes. If budget is tight, we can often phase work over time so you get immediate improvements while planning for future upgrades.
