The Average Costs of a Sunroom

A sunroom is an energy-efficient, enclosed space attached to the exterior of a home. A key feature of a sunroom is the view of the outdoors through extensive use of glass.
  1. Considerations

    • The cost of a sunroom depends on factors such as size, construction type and options chosen. For instance, a four-season room with options such as a cathedral ceiling, tiled floor and remote-controlled blinds can cost $60,000 to $70,000, according to 2007 figures.

    Types

    • There are a variety of styles within the category of sunrooms. These include solariums, shed-style sunrooms and gable-style sunrooms. Conservatories are old-world style in appearance, and feature segmented roof systems.

    Features

    • According to 2007 data, a simple, two-season sunroom that you build yourself may cost as little as $500. A glass-walled, prefabricated 8- by 10-foot sunroom will cost around $10,000. A 200-sq. ft. four-season room, custom built on a slab, averages in the $45,000 to $55,000 range.
