A sunroom gives you the outdoor feeling without giving up weather protection. New Village LLC builds sunroom additions in Westminster, MD that connect your living space to the outdoors — whether that’s a screened three-season room for spring through fall use or a fully insulated four-season room you can use in January. We build the structure and the enclosure to fit your home, your property, and how you want to use it.
Sunroom Types We Build
- Three-season screened rooms — screen enclosures with optional window systems for spring through fall use
- Four-season sunrooms — fully insulated, thermally glazed, and connected to HVAC for year-round comfort
- Screen porches — open-air rooms with full insect screening, ideal for enjoying the outdoors without bugs
- Patio enclosures — converting an existing covered patio or deck into an enclosed room
Design Considerations
The right sunroom depends on how you intend to use it and what your budget allows. Three-season rooms are less expensive and simpler to build. Four-season rooms require more construction — insulated walls, thermal-pane glazing, and HVAC integration — but give you a fully functional space regardless of outside temperature. We’ll discuss both options and help you understand the trade-offs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a three-season and four-season sunroom?
A three-season room is designed for use in mild weather — spring through fall. It’s typically screened or fitted with single-pane windows and isn’t insulated or heated. A four-season room is fully insulated with thermal-pane glass and is connected to the home’s heating and cooling system, making it comfortable in Maryland winters. Four-season rooms cost more but function as genuine year-round living space.
Does a sunroom add living square footage?
A four-season sunroom connected to the home’s conditioned space and built to code generally qualifies as finished square footage. Three-season rooms typically don’t qualify. The specifics depend on local assessment criteria — we’re not appraisers, but it’s a common question we hear.
Do sunrooms require building permits?
Yes. Sunroom additions require permits in Maryland. We work through the permitting process as part of the project.
Can you convert an existing screened porch into a sunroom?
Yes. Porch enclosures and conversions are part of what we do. We assess the existing structure, determine what needs to be added or modified, and build the enclosure to the condition you want.
