Your Sunroom: 3 Seasons or 4?

When planning your sunroom, first consider how you want to use your room. That will help you make the decision between a 3-season or 4-season addition. The benefit of a 4-season room is having extra space all year round to entertain or for your family to spread out. But if you just want a special place to enjoy the warmer months, then a 3-season sunroom provides what you need.

One of the biggest differences is a 3-season room doesn’t need insulation; a 4-season room needs to retain heat in the winter so that it can be used all year. A heating and cooling unit can be added to a 3-season sunroom to take the edge off of extreme temperatures, but it’s more efficient for temperature control year-round in the insulated 4-season room.

The type of glass differs as well, with single pane windows typically being installed in a 3-season sunroom and a 4-season room having more energy efficient windows throughout.

Even though there are construction differences, the decision to have a 3-season sunroom or a 4-season sunroom ultimately comes down to how you want to use your extra space.

Quality work! These boys are hard workers and you can tell that they don’t cut corners! We are so delighted with our new windows! Thank you Choice home remodeling! One very happy customer here!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review Britini! Our team strives for their best and ensuring satisfaction. We are thrilled you had such a positive experience with us.
A huge thank you to the Choice team for making the stress of choosing and installation of new windows and slider door seamless. Each person that we encountered was Professional, knowledgeable, kind, skilled and took Pride in what they do. They did a fantastic job, from protecting the floors, showing kindness to the dog and working in the brutal cold for 3 days and taking the time to show me all I needed to know about these windows and door. I will have them back to do the last door and 2 windows.

Family owned, local business. Thank you. Love the windows/door.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review Tamera. We pride ourselves in having a team that cares. Let us know when you are ready for your remaining projects!
I had 7 windows and 1 glass replacement installed using Home Choice Remodeling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality company. I needed windows that were good quality but not extremely expensive. I learned about Okna windows from the salesperson - I had never heard of them before. I am glad I listened because they were very affordable and are much higher quality than my current windows. During install day, the crew was very respectful and were in and out in much less time than I expected. They laid drop cloths down and made sure to leave the space exactly as they found it. I am cvery happy with the results. Great company!
