West Simsbury, Conn. | $619,900A 1788 house with four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, on a 1.4-acre lot

In its early years, this house was a stagecoach stop for travelers passing through this part of Connecticut, about 15 miles from Hartford and 30 miles from Springfield, Mass. The house is well preserved, with its original mantels and moldings in several of the main living spaces. It is within walking distance of a small shopping center, a post office and the Tulmeadow Farm Store, a popular spot to buy seasonal produce, baked goods and freshly made ice cream. A number of schools are within a five-minute drive, including public elementary and high schools, a private school for students in kindergarten through 12th grade and an all-girls school for sixth through 12th grades.

Size: 4,419 square feet

Price per square foot: $140

Indoors: From the street, a driveway leads to the back of the house and the attached three-car garage.

The front door, set in the middle of the facade, opens into a foyer with wide-plank hardwood floors and one of two staircases leading to the second level.

To the right is a sitting area with a fireplace and paneling painted a shade of blue that might have been used in the late 18th century, when the house was built. A door on one side of the room leads to a study with a built-in window bench. To the right of the study is a large family room with a fireplace, exposed beams and glass doors that open to the backyard, part of a 1985 addition.

To the left of the front door is a dining room with a fireplace and a custom-made cabinet designed to hold the sellers collection of antique tin. Through the dining room is the kitchen, which also connects to the study. A fireplace on one side of the kitchen is original, as are the exposed ceiling beams; the room is large enough to hold a dining table and a sitting area. Off the kitchen is an enclosed sunroom with brick floors, as well as a powder room and several closets.

Stairs in the family room lead to the primary suite on the second level, part of the 1985 addition. The spacious bedroom has a fireplace and overlooks the grounds; across the landing is the primary bathroom.

Two corridors extend off the primary suite: One provides access to the second staircase and to a guest room; the other leads to another guest room and a bathroom.

The fourth bedroom and its en suite bathroom are at the end of the main hallway on the second level, a few paces down from the primary suite.

The finished basement is accessible from the kitchen, and could be used as a media room or a playroom.

Outdoor space: A brick patio off the family room faces the large backyard, landscaped with grass, neat hedges and mature trees.

Taxes: $13,164 (estimated)

5 Bedroom Home in St Louis - $1,995,000 | | stltoday.com - STLtoday.com

Trees are an important part of any landscape, but its important to do your research before planting anything. Beasley recommends that homeowners particularly look out for any trees with leaves or flowers that might create a mess in the yard.

Some trees just tend to be messier than others, he said. Constant leaf rain is not something that will positively attract a potential homebuyer. When fall comes, they will just know it will give them a hard time.

Trees to stay away from include oak, female Ginkgo biloba, sweet gum, locust tree and Eastern white pine. These messy trees can decrease your curb appeal, and removal can set you back a hefty sum, depending on the trees size, Beasley said. Instead, choose an alternative tree, like an Eastern red cedar, crepe myrtle or Colorado blue spruce.

Sunroom Cost

A sunroom costs $100 to $350 per square foot on average. A 3-season room costs $8,000 to $50,000 to build, and a 4-season room costs $20,000 to $80,000 to add. A sun porch or prefab sunroom addition costs $5,000 to $30,000, and a glass solarium costs $30,000 to $150,000.

Connect with home addition contractors near you for an accurate estimate, or view the sunroom sizes and prices below.

An all-season or 4-season room is integrated into the existing construction of the home with insulation, electricity, an HVAC. Three-season sunrooms are separate structures from the house and lack those amenities.

The main cost factors in building a sunroom are:

States like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, or the Bay Area in California have higher costs of living, which can increase sunroom prices by up to 50%.

The average sunroom costs $100 to $350 per square foot for materials and installation, depending on the quality, finishes, and foundation. The cost to build a 3-season room is $80 to $230 per square foot, while a custom-built four-season sunroom runs $200 to $400 per square foot.

A four-season sunroom costs $200 to $400 per square foot or from $20,000 to $80,000 to add on average, depending on the size, materials, finishings, and foundation. An all-season or 4-season room is integrated into the existing construction of the home to provide an extension of living space.

A four-season room addition is temperature-controlled with insulated walls, ceiling, and flooring, and openly connects to the rest of the house. Another option is adding a connecting door and separate heating and cooling system to keep utility bills down.

A 3-season room costs $8,000 to $50,000 on average, depending on the size, materials, finishing options, and foundation status. The average cost to build a three-season room addition is $80 to $230 per square foot based on whether it's a prefab porch enclosure or custom-built.

The cheapest 3-season rooms are prefab kits, screened-in porches, and enclosed patios with single-pane glass that are installed on an existing patio or deck. Costs increase for custom-built rooms with tinted, dual-pane glass windows, and a concrete foundation.

Three-season sunrooms lack insulation and electricity, which makes them hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than 4-season models. Although heating or cooling systems can be installed separately from the home.

A solarium costs $30,000 to $100,000 on average, depending on the size and whether it's a 3-season or 4-season extension. The cost of building a solarium addition ranges between $300 and $800 per square foot. A solarium is a glass room in the house with a glass roof.

A solarium needs a foundation and typically takes two to four weeks to build. Reputable contractors usually include a lifetime warranty on the glass. These high-quality sunrooms provide abundant natural light thats also ideal for plants and flowers.

A home conservatory addition costs $50,000 to $150,000 or more, with prices ranging from $200 and $600 per square foot to install. High-end residential or commercial conservatories cost $600 to $1,200 per square foot to build.

A conservatory is a deluxe sunroom with a foundation, insulation, electricity, HVAC, and glass ceilings. The roof panels are angled to form a central peak that bisects the structure. A conservatory meets all building code requirements and qualifies as a full home addition.

A greenhouse sunroom or garden room addition costs $2,000 to $30,000 on average, depending on the type. Prefab garden room kits range from $10 to $25 per square foot, depending on the size, features, and quality.

While some greenhouses are all glass, models are available with plastic panels made of fiberglass, polycarbonate, or polyethylene film. Greenhouses traditionally lack a foundation and insulation, which separates them from true sunroom living spaces. Although, you still may need a permit.

An atrium is an open interior room with a glass roof. A glass atrium addition costs $6,000 to $20,000 for the roof, which requires structural modifications, plus HVAC work for temperature control. Contractors need to review the blueprints and perform an on-site inspection to provide an accurate quote. Atrium additions are a cost-efficient way to bring natural light into the home.

There are different types of sunrooms across a wide variety of prices. Costs increase as you add more features in each category.

Sunroom prices vary depending if they are prefabricated or custom-built.

*Additional costs may apply for shipping, assembly, and site-work.

Labor includes foundation work, construction or assembly, insulation, electricity, HVAC, and finishing work that meets building code regulations.

A sunroom foundation costs $1,000 to $6,000 or from $5 to $15 per square foot on average, depending on the type. Site-built sunrooms require a proper building foundation, while prefab sunroom kits may be assembled onto an existing wooden deck or patio with a level surface.

Sunroom foundation requirements vary depending on local building codes. Using an existing deck or concrete slab may require repairs, leveling, and reinforcing for additional support. Minor foundation repairs for a slab or deck repairs cost $500 to $2,500. Even with repairs, not all decks are suitable to support the weight of a sunroom.

Additional site preparation costs apply when building a new foundation for a sunroom such as land clearing, tree removal, excavation, and landscaping.

Sunroom framing is typically aluminum, vinyl, wood, or resin plastic. Three-season sunrooms use has cheaper frames such as aluminum, resin, and vinyl. Higher-quality 4-season sunrooms and conservatories are built with expensive wooden or insulated vinyl framing.

Sunroom insulation costs $300 to $1,500 or $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the product used. Other ways to insulate a sunroom are curtains, insulated panels, dual-pane windows, protecting under the deck, and sealing the joints. A screen room or three-season sunroom doesnt require insulation.

A sunroom roof costs $500 to $7,000, depending on the size, style, and if it's a glass-enclosed or a solid-covered shingle roof. A glass solarium roof with a steel structure costs the most, while an asphalt, metal, or slate-covered roof costs between $500 and $3,500.

*Based on the average sunroom size of 150 to 300 square feet.

Other elaborate designs include the cathedral, curved-eave, mansard, and pyramidal roofs.

Sunroom windows cost $3,500 to $12,000 on average for 10 new or replacement windows, depending on the quality and type. Non-insulated windows for a three-season sunroom are cheaper than dual-pane insulated windows for a four-season room or solarium.

Other options are plastic film, polycarbonate plastic windows, or screens. Contractors recommend upgrading to dual-pane glass to increase the energy efficiency, which may require new window frames that seal properly.

Installing French or sliding glass doors costs $700 to $2,400, which can replace walls, provide natural light, and create stunning views to the outdoors. Other options include patio doors, single-entry, telescoping, or bi-fold doors at varying costs. Most prefabricated sunrooms come with doors.

Hiring an electrician costs $40 to $100 per hour, plus a $75 call-out fee on average. Expect to spend a total of $250 to $600 or more to install the wiring for an average sunroom. If the contractor doesnt include electrical work in their quote, other potential costs include:

Most 3-season sunrooms dont have electrical connections, but some prefabricated units come with built-in electrical components. In some cases, you may need to upgrade an old electrical panel to provide more power to the sunroom.

Adding or expanding the HVAC system costs $300 to $5,000 to bring heating and cooling into the sunroom. The cheapest options are extending the existing ductwork, installing a ceiling fan, or using a window AC unit with a space heater.

Additionally, installing a mini-split AC unit costs $660 to $4,500, which provides both heating and cooling without ducts.

When adding heating and cooling systems to 3-season rooms, be sure to install insulation first to avoid high utility bills.

After building the sunroom, extra costs of $4 to $50 per square foot may apply for painting, flooring, shutters or blinds, interior design and decor, and other interior finishes. Be sure to ask contractors what finishes are included in their bid.

Also, consider what type of furniture you want in your sunroom. Modern decor includes a couch, a few chairs, a bookcase with large shelves, or even a dining table.

Most sunroom contractors include debris removal and site cleanup in their estimate. If it's not included, dumpster rental prices are $280 to $485 per week, and cleaning a construction site costs $300 to $700 on average.

Building permits are required to build a sunroom, even for small DIY sunroom kits or custom-built room additions. A building permit for a sunroom costs $200 to $500. Also, a zoning permit, electrical permit, and a heating-cooling permit may be required to build a sunroom.

Permit rules and building codes vary depending on your location and take around one month to process. Licensed contractors should always pull the permits for you, which makes them liable for any on-site injuries and damages. After construction, an inspection verifies everything is up to building code standards.

Converting a deck, porch, or patio into a sunroom costs $4,000 to $70,000, depending on the size and if it's going to be a 3 or 4-season room. A 3-season sunroom, also called a patio enclosure or screened-in porch, is the cheapest, while a 4-season room costs the same as a home addition.

Converting a deck into a 3-season sunroom or patio enclosure costs $8,000 to $30,000. Leveling and reinforcing the surface are required to meet building code requirements. Pouring a new concrete patio costs $4 to $12 per square foot, while building a new deck costs $15 to $30 per square foot.

Converting a 3-season room into a 4-season costs $3,000 to $20,000, which may include new windows, insulation, HVAC extension, and pouring a concrete foundation. Converting a 3-season room into a regular room or living space addition costs $20,000 to $80,000 or from $100 to $300 per square foot.

A 3-season sunroom to living space area requires removing the old sunroom and building a new 4-season room that's integrated into the existing construction, roofline, and exterior of the home. In some cases, finishing a basement costs around the same, but provides a better ROI in terms of square footage.

Converting a screened porch into a sunroom costs $4,000 to $20,000 or between $200 and $400 per linear foot. This conversion costs 30% more than converting the area to an enclosed patio. Additional costs apply for pouring a slab foundation and bringing the sunroom up to building code standards.

*Extra costs may apply for permits, insulation, and extending the HVAC system.

Merely replacing the screens with glass picture windows costs $400 to $800 per window, which includes a stronger frame with more insulation. If the current window frames are in good shape, installing new window panes cost $150 to $400 each, depending on if they are single or double-pane.

Return to Top

Prefabricated sunroom additions cost $10,000 to $50,000 on average, depending on the size, brand, design, materials, customizations, and if it's a 3-season or 4-season model. Sunroom delivery, foundation, and labor costs $2,500 to $5,000. Low-end brands cost $20 to $60 per square foot, without installation.

Prefab sunrooms are built in a factory and then shipped to your home for assembly. After acquiring building permits, prefab sunrooms can be installed on top of a patio slab and sometimes on a wooden deck.

Some prefab sunroom kits are suitable for DIY assembly, but most require hiring a professional to keep the warranty in place and to pass local inspections.

Champion Sunrooms cost $25,000 to $45,000 or between $160 and $260 per square foot on average for their custom 4-season style rooms. Champion 3-season patio rooms cost $15,000 and up, depending on the design choices. Champion has a limited lifetime warranty on parts, materials, and labor.

The many benefits of a sunroom often outweigh the disadvantages.

A sunroom is affordable, has a 50% return on investment, provides natural sunlight, and is relaxing. Investing in a sunroom helps sell your home quicker, especially in New England or the Midwest. Plus, building a sunroom is cheaper and faster than a traditional stick-built home addition.

The most popular sunroom sizes are 12' x 12' and 16' x 24'. Custom sizes can be constructed to fit any concrete slab, deck, or porch. In colder climates, its important to place your new sunroom on the Southern side of your home to catch the most sunlight in winter.

A two-story sunroom addition costs $30,000 to $150,000 or between $100 and $300 per square foot to build. A two-story sunroom is priced similarly to a full home addition and requires a stronger foundation with higher-quality building materials than basic sunrooms.

A 4-season sunroom increases your property taxes by adding square footage to your home, which raises the property value. Many screen rooms or 3-season sunrooms are not considered living space, but instead, a non-habitable backyard patio, which increases your taxes less.

Three-season rooms have a 47% to 55% return on investment. Most three-season rooms are appraised as low as 25% of living space value on a per-square-foot basis. Four season sunrooms with a concrete slab and proper permits that converts to livable space, is valued at the home's normal $/sqft.

White, pale, and neutral colors are ideal for sunrooms to keep things bright, airy, and calming. These shades embrace the natural light coming from the outside and reflect more heat to keep the sunroom cooler in the summer.
