Advanced insulation and tightly sealed construction retain heat while preventing cold air infiltration. A full-electrical package and HVAC system integration makes our four-season sunrooms comfy cozy in the coldest of winters.
Energy-efficient insulated glass keeps your four-season sunroom cool in the summer. Consider window tinting to minimize solar heat gain while maintaining expansive views and natural light.
Insulated walls and windows reduce outdoor noise, creating a peaceful retreat. Proper ventilation and climate control also manage humidity, helping protect furnishings, flooring, and finishes.

We understand that a home project can be overwhelming. That’s why the ECCO Sunroom team puts our customers first every step of the way. Our goal is to help you design your dream sunroom space and build it as though it was always a part of your home. To ease the stress that a new home project brings, read about ECCO Sunroom’s process of creating custom sunrooms.
Everything starts with a no-cost, no-obligation in-home design consultation. This important meeting sets the project up for success. Because each sunroom is custom manufactured and custom designed to your home, there are many variables that need to be considered before your design consultant can quote you an accurate price. The in-home design consultation allows your designer to assess the space, ask questions to recommend the right products for you, and develop a personalized plan for your project. Based on the agreed upon project’s scope, your design consultant will recommend the right room to fit your home, lifestyle and budget.
What happens at your in-home design meeting?
Our experienced design consultants manage every aspect of your project to ensure it matches your vision and fits your budget.
There are three phases of the construction process: Pre-build, manufacture and material delivery, and installation.
During the pre-build phase we will take detailed measurements, attain all necessary building permits and HOA regulation compliance, prepare the site, and order materials. While other companies use stock-size pre-fab pieces to build their sunrooms, our sunrooms are truly custom projects. We custom manufacture the materials for each sunroom we build – ensuring you a perfect fit for your unique space.
Once the materials are ordered and delivered, our team will expertly install and construct your sunroom. We are a Virginia Class “A” contractor. Our team is licensed and insured at the highest level. From start to finish ECCO’s team of professional installers and carpenters will ensure the highest quality workmanship. From start to finish, our team will communicate with you every step of the way, ensuring you are aware of the project timeline as the construction unfolds. Our goal is to create your dream sunroom and build it as though it was designed with the house.
We offer the best warranties in the business on all of our products. We confidently offer the ECCO Limited Lifetime Warranty on all our sunrooms, solariums, and screen rooms. This warranty covers all manufactured products including glass, roof panels, framing, sealing and more. Ask your design consultant for more information.

When it comes to creating a custom sunroom that meets your needs, consider these sunroom options.

A new sunroom is like a blank canvas – a cost-efficient addition to your home with the special perks of being able to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while in the comfort of your home. We are detailing 7 sunroom ideas that are sure to make your sunroom into the room you’ve always dreamed of and utilize.
Absolutely! Sunrooms keep pets safe from harsh weather, bugs, and outdoor hazards while giving them plenty of sunshine and backyard views.
Yes! A knee wall is a great place to install a pet door so your dog can easily access the backyard.
If it is built correctly, it is possible to build a sunroom onto an existing deck. However, most of the time we find that the existing deck requires an upgrade to bring it in compliance for a sunroom addition. We prefer to remove the existing deck and replace it altogether. When our team rebuilds the deck as well as the sunroom addition, we can warranty our work from the ground up. If we build a sunroom addition onto an existing deck, we cannot warranty the deck and sunroom foundation structure.
Yes! ECCO Sunroom & Awning sells custom shading systems that will help maintain the perfect indoor temperature for your new sunroom. During your initial consultation, ECCO Sunroom & Awning will discuss the various styles and types of shades and blinds that are available for your project.
Yes. In fact, 40% of the sunrooms that we build include heating and air conditioning. Adding an HVAC element is typically what you would call a year-round or four seasons sunroom. In addition to an HVAC system, a year-round sunroom includes insulated glass, and extra insulation in the roof and foundation.
Unfortunately, no, you cannot heat your new sunroom with an existing furnace. If you desire heat in your new sunroom, we can install a separate zone heating and air conditioning unit – depending on the type of room you choose.
Yes, depending on the type of sunroom you choose, and your geographical location, your sunroom can be used year-round. ECCO Sunroom & Awning offers several styles of sunrooms which are designed to be heated and cooled – making the room comfortable throughout the year.
Our aluminum and vinyl all season (four season) sunrooms are designed with thermally engineered, energy-efficient frames, double-pane insulated glass and our Energy Star® rated 6″ insulated roof to keep you comfortable all year long.
During your initial consultation, ECCO Sunroom & Awning will discuss options to help you make your dream a reality during the free, no obligation, in-home design consultation.
Yes, you can add air conditioning to a sunroom. For a four-season sunroom, HVAC systems are often installed, allowing you to regulate the temperature in the space. For three-season sunrooms, you can add a ductless mini-split system or PTAC unit to cool the space. This provides a comfortable environment during the hot summer months, making it more enjoyable year-round.
