Also known as a 4-Season Sunroom
Our most sought-after sunroom, you can use all season sunrooms year-round. With an all season sunroom you will be free to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about pollen, inclement weather, or insects. No matter the season, you are sure to be comfortable in your insulated and temperature controlled year-round sunroom when adding a heating and cooling unit.
Choose from Aluminum or Vinyl (reinforced with aluminum or steel framing). Structural thermal breaks in the frame and our double-pane insulated glass help keep your energy costs down. Our sunrooms are designed with maximum glass exposure, minimizing the need for “filler” for a truly customized space. Your design consultant will recommend construction elements based on how you plan to use the room.

Three-season sunrooms are our most popular sunroom type. Enjoy these rooms from spring through fall, or longer, depending on the mildness of the season. Constructed with a durable aluminum frame, this room is a classic in quality and workmanship. Depending on your planned use of the room, three-season sunrooms are available with single-pane glass or double-pane insulated glass.

Unlike all-season sunrooms and solariums, three-season sunrooms are not designed to be heated or cooled on an ongoing basis. Three-season sunrooms are a perfect fit for transitioning an existing screen porch or patio into a sunroom.
Want fresh air? Our nearly-invisible black aluminum screens enclose this room to give you maximum visibility. Enjoy flowing air and protection from bugs with our super screens – nearly invisible, black-painted aluminum screen mesh that provides maximum visibility while staying cleaner and resisting sagging better than competitors’ screens.

The glass can be added later for extended seasonal use.
A porch conversion is half the cost and installed in half the time of a sunroom addition!

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.

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.
