A three-season room is an enclosed space, typically built with large windows, screens, and lightweight materials. It is designed for use in spring, summer, and fall. Unlike a four-season room, it’s not fully insulated or tied to your HVAC system, making it more affordable while still offering comfort and flexibility.
At J&J Contractors, we build three-season rooms that feel like a natural extension of your home, blending indoor comfort with outdoor charm.
In most cases, a three-season room is not counted as livable square footage by appraisers or in official real estate listings. If the room is fully climate-controlled, then it’s possible that it may count towards your home’s square footage. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t add value. Homeowners consistently find that three-season rooms improve the usability of the home, increase appeal to potential buyers, and create additional space for entertaining or relaxing. So while it may not “count” on paper, it absolutely counts in terms of livability and lifestyle.
There are a number of differences between a three-season room and a four-season room. It mostly comes down to cost, features, and seasonality. The table below breaks down the differences clearly.
| Feature | Three-Season Room | Four-Season Room |
|---|---|---|
| Useable Seasons | Spring, summer, fall | Year-round |
| Insulation | Minimal | Fully insulated |
| HVAC Integration | Typically none | Connected to home’s heating and cooling |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Permit Requirements | Needed, but generally simpler | May involve more strict building codes |
