Sunrooms and patio enclosures cost
The costs of sunrooms and patio enclosures vary depending on the type of patio enclosure you want, the shape, size, and materials used.
Patio enclosures
The cost to create an enclosed patio depends on if you want a partial enclosure or a full enclosure. A partial enclosure will be between $5,000 - $10,000* and is where some of the space is open to the outdoors. For a full enclosure, which is a totally new structure including the foundations, walls and sometimes plumbing or electrical wiring expect to pay $20,000* or more.
Screen porch enclosures
This is where you screen in an existing porch to make an enclosure. The cost will depend on the shape, materials used, and the size, expect to pay between $766-$1,025*.
Sunroom installation
The average sunroom cost varies between $15,000-$22,000*. They are often pre-built structures that you can customize, so the price depends on the materials used and the size. You can also include climate controls to keep the room from becoming musty.

Ask a local professional for tips and guidance on the best installation site in your home.
