Whether it's a cozy retreat during a Detroit snowstorm or an airy, light-filled room in the heat of July, a Wayne Craft four season sunroom works year-round.

- True year-round use — comfortable in all four Michigan seasons

For many Detroit-area homeowners, a four season room becomes the most-used room in the house — a true living space addition that enhances daily life through every Michigan winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Non-Insulated vs Insulated Sunrooms

Common Installation
Locations & Applications
Four season sunrooms can be installed across a wide variety of outdoor spaces at Southeast Michigan homes. Each project is fully customized to fit your layout — whether you're enclosing an existing patio, building onto a deck, converting a covered porch, or upgrading an older sunroom into a fully insulated, year-round space.
- Installed over existing patios, four season sunrooms are commonly built on concrete foundations with sizes ranging from 10' x 10' up to 20' x 30'. These insulated patio enclosures create permanent outdoor dining areas, home offices, or relaxation spaces that are comfortable even during a Detroit winter.
- On wood or composite decks, four season sunrooms are engineered to fit standard dimensions such as 12' x 12', 12' x 16', and 14' x 20', or fully customized layouts based on structural support. These installations are ideal for elevated patio enclosures, breezeways, or connecting spaces between the home and backyard.
- Four season sunrooms can also be installed under existing roof structures — such as rear home extensions — providing a seamless way to create a fully insulated, year-round enclosed space without major structural changes.
- Homeowners in Metro Detroit frequently use four season rooms to upgrade older sunrooms or screen rooms into a fully weather-tight, climate-controlled addition that feels like a natural part of the home.
- These versatile applications make four season sunrooms ideal for year-round sunroom additions, breezeways, front porch enclosures, patio enclosures, and holiday entertaining spaces — all with flexible sizing options that adapt to your home and long-term needs.
Common Questions Michigan Homeowners Have About Four Season Sunrooms
What does it cost to build a four season sunroom?
The cost of a four season sunroom depends on the size of the structure, insulation specifications, roof system, foundation requirements, window upgrades, door options, and electrical and HVAC features. Because these rooms are fully insulated and built for year-round Michigan use, they typically represent a higher investment than a three season room. The best way to determine accurate pricing is through an in-person consultation where measurements and design options can be reviewed. Wayne Craft offers free estimates so Southeast Michigan homeowners can understand their options before moving forward.
How is a four season sunroom different from a three season sunroom?
A four season sunroom is fully insulated with a thermal break frame, double-pane LoE² glass, Argon gas, and a 5" thick aluminum wall system — designed to be heated and cooled year-round, just like the rest of your home. A three season sunroom uses a non-insulated 2.25" aluminum wall with single-pane glass and is typically comfortable from spring through fall. For Michigan homeowners who want to use their sunroom during winter, a four season room is the right choice.
Can a four season sunroom be built on an existing porch or deck?
Yes. Four season sunrooms can often be installed on existing patios, covered porches, or properly supported decks. The structure must meet load and foundation requirements to safely support the fully insulated enclosure system. During a consultation, Wayne Craft evaluates your existing space to determine if modifications are needed and how the sunroom can be seamlessly integrated for long-term durability and performance.
Can a four season sunroom be used as a home office or additional living space?
Absolutely. Because four season rooms are fully insulated, climate-controlled, and wired for electricity, many Detroit-area homeowners use them as a year-round home office, reading room, hobby space, or secondary living room. With the addition of a PTAC heating and cooling unit, your four season sunroom maintains comfortable temperatures throughout Michigan's most extreme seasons.
