Deck to Four Season Room Conversion in CT

A four season room is built and insulated like the rest of your home so it can be heated and cooled. That usually means insulated walls, floor and ceiling, energy efficient windows, and a plan for heating and cooling. A three season room is typically lighter in construction and is not designed for year round comfort. If you want to use the space in January, plan for four season construction from the start. You can see the range of outdoor living work we do on our Exterior Services page, or read about a recent three season sunroom remodel.

Can I turn my existing deck into a four season room?
In many cases, yes, but it depends on the condition and strength of the deck’s footings, posts and framing. An enclosed room adds significant weight from walls, a roof, windows and insulation. A structural review at the start of the project determines whether the deck can be reinforced or whether new framing or a new foundation is needed to support the room safely for years to come.
What is the difference between a three season room and a four season room?
A four season room is insulated and built to be heated and cooled, so it can be used comfortably all year. A three season room is usually lighter in construction with less insulation and is best suited to spring, summer and fall. The right choice depends on how and when you plan to use the space, along with your budget and goals for your home.
Do I need a permit to enclose a deck in Connecticut?
It depends on your town and the scope of the project. Permits are issued through your local building department, and because enclosing a deck changes the structure and use of the space, a building permit and inspections may be required. Fiderio & Sons handles permitting and inspection coordination for you as part of our full service remodeling process, so you do not have to manage the paperwork yourself.
Will a four season room add value to my home?
A well built four season room adds finished, usable living space that can be enjoyed every day of the year, which many homeowners value for both daily living and long term enjoyment. The effect on resale depends on your home, your neighborhood and the quality of construction, so it is best viewed as an investment in how you live in your home.
How much does it cost to convert a deck into a four season room?
The cost depends on the size of the room, the condition of the existing deck, foundation needs, windows, insulation, heating and cooling, and finishes. Because every project is different, the best way to get an accurate number is a consultation and estimate. Fiderio & Sons provides complimentary estimates and offers financing options through Regions Bank to help you plan.
