Is $70,000 to add a four-season sunroom by enclosing an existing patio a fair price?
Project Details
I am considering adding a four-season sunroom to my home and want to ensure it's worth the cost, as I've received quotes as high as $70,000, which seems wild. I'm exploring ways to make it more affordable, potentially by sourcing materials myself. I have an attached covered patio that would be enclosed. I am located in Las Vegas, where the main concern is keeping the sunroom cool in the summer, as winters are not an issue. I want to make sure this is a smart financial and practical move, not just a pricey aesthetic upgrade.
Quote Details
This quote is for adding a four-season sunroom by enclosing an existing attached covered patio. The sunroom is designed to be well-insulated for year-round temperature maintenance, specifically to stay cool in summer using central air from the main house. According to the contractor, this project does not require a permit as it involves enclosing an existing structure rather than adding a new one. It will also not be counted toward the official square footage of the house. Existing fans and outlets are already present, so no new electrical permit is needed. HVAC is not included in this quote.
