Sunroom Conversions & Upgrades

Why Upgrade Your Existing Sunroom

If you already have a sunroom but it is not living up to your expectations, you do not necessarily need to tear it down and start over. Many older sunrooms can be upgraded to improve comfort, energy efficiency, and appearance. Maybe your sunroom gets too hot in summer, too cold in winter, or just looks outdated. These are all fixable problems.

Sunrooms built 10 or 20 years ago often used materials that do not meet today's standards. The glass might be single-pane, which lets heat pass right through. The framing might not be thermally broken, meaning it conducts heat and cold. The roof might lack proper insulation. All of these issues make your sunroom uncomfortable and expensive to heat or cool.

Upgrading your sunroom can give you a space that feels like a modern four-season room without the full cost of building new. We assess your current structure and recommend specific upgrades that will have the biggest impact on comfort and usability.

Common Sunroom Conversions We Handle

Three-Season to Four-Season Conversion

This is one of the most popular upgrades. If you have a three-season sunroom that you can only use part of the year, we can convert it into a fully insulated four-season room. This involves upgrading the glass to energy-efficient double-pane, adding insulation to the roof and walls, and integrating climate control so you can heat and cool the space year-round.

Screen Room to Sunroom Conversion

If you have a screen room that you want to use more often, we can convert it into a sunroom by replacing the screens with glass panels. This gives you full weather protection and a more polished look. You can choose between single-pane glass for a basic upgrade or double-pane insulated glass if you want climate control.

Porch or Patio Enclosure

Many homeowners in Harlingen have an open porch or patio that they want to turn into a functional room. We can enclose these spaces with glass and a proper roof system, creating a brand-new sunroom from what was previously just an outdoor area. This is a great way to add square footage without a major construction project.

Popular Sunroom Upgrades

Even if your sunroom does not need a full conversion, smaller upgrades can make a big difference in comfort and appearance. Here are the most common upgrades we install:

• •Energy-efficient glass replacement: Swap old single-pane glass for modern low-E double-pane windows that keep heat out in summer and warmth in during winter
• •Roof insulation and upgrades: Add insulation to reduce temperature swings and install a new roof membrane for better weather protection
• •Climate control installation: Tie into your existing HVAC system or add a ductless mini-split unit for heating and cooling
• •New flooring: Replace worn or damaged flooring with tile, hardwood, or luxury vinyl that matches your home interior
• •Updated doors and hardware: Install modern sliding or French doors for easier access and a more polished appearance
• •Lighting and electrical upgrades: Add recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and additional outlets to make the space more functional

These upgrades not only improve how your sunroom looks and feels, but they also increase your home value. A well-upgraded sunroom is a major selling point if you ever decide to move.

How We Handle Conversions and Upgrades

We start with a thorough inspection of your existing sunroom. We check the foundation, framing, roof, and glass to see what is worth keeping and what needs to be replaced. Then we discuss your goals. Are you trying to make the room more comfortable? Do you want it to look more modern? Are you hoping to use it year-round?

Based on your needs and budget, we create a plan that outlines exactly what work will be done and what it will cost. We provide detailed estimates so there are no surprises. Once you approve the plan, we schedule the work and get started.

Most upgrades take one to three weeks depending on the scope of work. If we are just replacing glass or adding insulation, it goes quickly. If we are doing a full conversion with new framing, glass, and climate control, it takes a bit longer. Either way, we work efficiently and keep disruption to a minimum.

When we finish, you will have a sunroom that looks and feels brand new. Many homeowners tell us they wish they had upgraded sooner because of how much more they use the space afterward. If you are dealing with issues like poor insulation or outdated materials, our repair and glass replacement services can also help restore your sunroom to top condition.
