Grand Rapids, MI residents know that Michigan winters can be rough, so it is important to relish every bit of sunlight that you can. By adding extra light to your space with a sunroom remodel, you can enjoy the sunshine from the comfort of your home.
A sunroom is a room that allows for lots of natural sunlight and views of nature while sheltering homeowners from adverse weather and critters such as mosquitos. These rooms emulate the feeling of being in the great outdoors from the comfort of your own home.
Overall, there are a couple of different sunroom types including three-season sunrooms, and four-season sunrooms.
Three-Season Sunrooms
A three-season sunroom is a separate room of the house that is physically separated by French doors or sliding patio doors. They usually feature floor-to-ceiling windows to let in as much sunlight as possible. These rooms are not climate controlled, meaning that they are not equipped with heating or air conditioning.
Four-Season Sunrooms
Four-season rooms are equipped with heating and cooling. This allows them to be used every month of the year. They are designed to be an extension of the home’s living space and are often not separated by doors. They also may not have windows that run all the way to the floor.
Sunroom additions can include the following upgrades:
- Windows
- Sliding doors
- Flooring
- Painting
- Lighting
- And more

Sunroom FAQs
Does a sunroom count as square footage?
A sunroom may count as square footage if it’s fully enclosed, climate-controlled, and built to the same standards as the rest of the home. However, this can vary by local building codes and appraiser guidelines.
What is the life expectancy of a sunroom?
The life expectancy of a sunroom typically ranges from 15 to 30 years, depending on the quality of materials, construction, and maintenance.
What to consider when adding a sunroom?
When adding a sunroom, consider factors like the intended use, orientation, insulation, ventilation, budget, and how it will integrate with the existing architecture and design of your home. Sunrooms should always be designed to capture the most amount of sunlight.
