Which room is right for you?

Start with the picture in your head — who's in the room, and what you're doing. They're all side by side below, in plain English. Every column links to the full page, and if you're still torn, three quick questions below will point you the right way.

Side-by-side comparison of sunrooms, three-season rooms, four-season sunrooms, conservatories, deck and patio enclosures, glass wall systems, pergolas, and LifeRooms.
Attribute A sunroom interior under a solid white vaulted ceiling, tall windows on two sides. Sunroom A glass room with a sloped glass roof and a wall of windows onto a hedged garden, seen through open French doors from the house. Three-Season Room A white-framed four-season sunroom in winter, a table set beside the glass. Four-Season Sunroom A white Victorian conservatory glowing at dusk. Conservatory A white patio room with a solid gable roof and a glass gable end, built onto a brick patio.

Glass Wall System A white louvered-roof pergola at sunset, its louvers angled open to the sky. Pergola & Outdoor A covered outdoor living room with retractable roof panels and a sunset view. LifeRoom

Adjustable shade and shape for true outdoor living. An outdoor room with motorized screens.

Still deciding?

Three quick questions will point you the right way.

A sunroom with a solid painted ceiling and windows on three sides, looking out over the water.

Sunroom

Choose this if you picture mornings with the garden right there.

A lighter, glass-filled addition that brings the outdoors in.

See sunrooms → Read the guide →
A glass room with a sloped glass roof and a wall of windows onto a hedged garden, seen through open French doors from the house.

Three-season room

Choose this if you want spring through fall, and you'd rather not pay for January.

Glass in place of screens — the lighter build, and the four-season upgrade stays open.

See three-season rooms →
A white-framed four-season sunroom in winter, with a table set beside the glass and the sun low over the water.

Four-season sunroom

Choose this if you picture yourself out there in January too.

A fully insulated, heated addition — more living space, all year.

See four-season sunrooms → Read the guide →
A white Victorian conservatory with a faceted glass roof and finial cresting, built onto a tan home beside a stone patio.

Conservatory

Choose this if you want a glass showpiece for light and plants.

A glass-forward room built as a feature of the house.

See conservatories → Read the guide →
A white deck enclosure with a solid shingled gable roof and a glass gable end, built onto a raised deck.

Deck & patio enclosure

Choose this to turn the deck, patio, or porch you already have into a room.

The most common project we build — three-season, or four-season if you want January.

See deck & patio enclosures →
A glass enclosure with sliding glass doors built under the existing roof overhang of a shingled house.

Glass Wall System

Choose this if the porch, patio, or deck you want to enclose already has a roof over it.

A Walls Under project — our glass wall and window system goes in underneath the structure you already have.

See glass wall systems →
A louvered-roof pergola at dusk with warm LED lighting, beside a pool.

Pergola & outdoor living

Choose this if you want shade and open air, not an enclosed room.

Structure and shade for the yard, designed with the same care.

See outdoor living → Read the guide →
A covered outdoor living room with retractable roof panels and a sunset view.

LifeRoom

Choose this if you want outdoor evenings without bugs or glare.

Motorized screens turn your patio into an outdoor room.

You've done the reading. Let's design it.

You've seen the difference between a sunroom and a four-season room, and roughly what fits your house. A free in-home consultation turns that into a real design and an honest price for your home — no pressure. Tell us your town and what you're leaning toward.

By the time we visit, you already know roughly what you want. That's the point.
