You’re not adding just another room. You’re reclaiming space you’ve been avoiding because Houston’s weather makes it miserable half the year.
An all season sunroom gives you a climate-controlled space where you can work from home without the glare, host dinner without the mosquitoes, or just sit with coffee on a Sunday morning when it’s 95 degrees outside. It’s the view and the light you want, with none of the sweat, bugs, or unpredictability that come with trying to enjoy your patio in Texas.
These aren’t three-season add-ons that turn into saunas by May. A true four season room is insulated, ventilated, and built with energy efficient glass that blocks UV rays and keeps your HVAC from working overtime. That means you’re comfortable in July and you’re comfortable in January, without watching your electricity bill spike every month.
You also get real square footage that counts. It’s livable space that increases your home’s value and gives you flexibility—whether that’s a home office, a breakfast nook, or just a place to breathe that doesn’t feel like the rest of your house.
We’re not new to Texas, and we’re not new to Southside Place. We’re a family-owned company that’s been building year round sunrooms and outdoor living spaces for close to five decades, and we know what works in Houston’s climate because we live here too.
Southside Place homeowners aren’t looking for shortcuts. You’re investing in a property that’s worth over a million dollars on average, and you expect the work to match that standard. We get that. Every project we take on is fully licensed, insured, and backed by a lifetime transferable warranty—not because we have to, but because we’re confident in what we build.
We don’t subcontract the hard stuff or disappear after the install. You work with our team from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, and if something needs attention down the road, we’re still here.
It starts with a consultation at your home. We’ll look at the space, talk about how you want to use it, and go over options for layout, glass, insulation, and climate control. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a real conversation about what makes sense for your home and your budget.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the design and permitting. You’ll see renderings of what the sunroom will look like, and we’ll walk through material choices, including energy efficient glass options and insulated roofing that actually keeps heat out. Everything gets submitted to the city, and we manage that process so you don’t have to.
Installation is done by our trained team—no randos showing up in unmarked trucks. We prep the site, build the foundation if needed, and construct the sunroom with attention to how it integrates with your existing home. You’ll see progress every day, and we keep the site clean and communicate clearly about timing.
After the install, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything works the way it should. Heating and cooling, windows, doors, screens—it all gets tested. Then we hand over your warranty documents and you’re done.

Every all season sunroom we build in Southside Place, TX is designed to handle the Gulf Coast climate. That means solid insulated roofing to block overhead heat, energy efficient glass that cuts UV rays by 99%, and a structure that’s sealed and ventilated to prevent moisture buildup and keep your space comfortable.
You’re not getting builder-grade windows or a glorified screen porch. The glass we use—CONSERVAGLASS™ NXT—has stay-clean technology and thermal performance that actually makes a difference on your energy bill. It’s the same glass that keeps your HVAC from running nonstop when you add square footage to your home.
We also integrate sunroom heating and cooling into your existing HVAC system, or we can install a separate mini-split if that makes more sense for your layout. Either way, you’re getting a room that stays at the temperature you set it to, not whatever the weather decides.
Because Southside Place has higher property values and stricter aesthetic standards, we also make sure the design matches your home’s architecture. This isn’t a cookie-cutter add-on. It’s custom-fit to your roofline, your siding, and your style—so it looks like it was always part of the house, not something you tacked on later.
Most four season sunrooms in the Houston area run between $36,000 and $54,000, depending on size, materials, and how much customization you want. That’s a real number based on current market rates, not a lowball estimate that doubles once you start talking about insulated roofing or energy efficient glass.
For Southside Place specifically, homeowners tend to invest on the higher end of that range because property values here support it. The general rule is to keep your sunroom investment at 10-15% of your home’s current value for the best return. With median home values around $1.7 million in this area, you’ve got room to build something substantial without overcapitalizing.
You’ll typically recoup 50-70% of that investment when you sell, and in Texas markets, all season sunrooms often hit closer to 55-75% ROI because year-round outdoor living space is a real selling point here. It’s not just about resale, though—it’s about actually using the space while you live here, which is something you can’t put a price on when you’re stuck inside six months a year because of the heat.
Yes, if it’s built right. The key is insulation in the roof, energy efficient glass in the walls, and proper ventilation throughout. A true four season room isn’t just a glass box—it’s a conditioned space that’s designed to reject heat, not trap it.
The roof is the biggest factor. Solid insulated roofing keeps the sun from beating down on you from above, which is where most of the heat gain happens in a sunroom. Pair that with glass that blocks 99% of UV rays, and you’re not dealing with the greenhouse effect that makes cheap sunrooms unbearable by noon.
We also tie your sunroom into your existing HVAC or add a dedicated mini-split system, so you’re controlling the temperature the same way you do in the rest of your house. It’s not passive cooling or hoping for a breeze—it’s actual climate control. You’ll use more electricity than you would if the room didn’t exist, sure, but it’s manageable, and the space is usable every single day of the year instead of sitting empty from May to October.
Most installations take 4-8 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you’re using the space. That includes site prep, foundation work if needed, framing, glass installation, roofing, and final finishes like electrical and HVAC hookup.
Permitting adds time on the front end—usually 2-4 weeks depending on how backed up the city is. We handle that process, but it’s not something we control the timeline on. Once permits are in hand, the physical construction moves pretty quickly because we’re not waiting on a dozen subcontractors to coordinate schedules.
Weather can slow things down, especially if we’re pouring a foundation and it rains for three days straight, but that’s rare. Most of the work happens under cover once the structure is up. You’ll have a clear timeline before we start, and we’ll keep you updated if anything shifts. The goal is to get it done right and get it done on time, so you’re not living in a construction zone longer than necessary.
Yes. Any permanent structure that adds square footage to your home requires a building permit in Southside Place, TX, and that includes all season sunrooms. The city wants to make sure the foundation is sound, the structure is safe, and everything meets code for wind load, electrical, and energy efficiency.
We handle the permit application as part of the project. That means pulling the drawings, submitting to the city, coordinating inspections, and making sure everything passes before we call the job done. You don’t have to deal with the paperwork or show up for inspections—that’s on us.
Skipping permits might sound tempting if you’re trying to save time or money, but it’s a bad idea. If you ever sell your home, unpermitted work can kill a deal or force you to rip the sunroom out and start over. It also voids your insurance coverage if something goes wrong. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we do this the right way every time so you don’t have problems later.
A four season room is a type of sunroom, but not all sunrooms are four season rooms. The difference comes down to insulation, climate control, and how much of the year you can actually use the space.
A basic sunroom—sometimes called a three-season room—has single-pane glass, minimal insulation, and no real heating or cooling. It’s fine in spring and fall, but it’s too hot in summer and too cold in winter. You’re basically adding a fancy screened porch, and in Houston, that means you’re not using it from May through September.
An all season sunroom, or four season room, is built like an extension of your house. It has insulated walls and roof, energy efficient glass, and integrated HVAC so the temperature stays consistent year-round. It’s conditioned space that you can use every day, no matter what the weather’s doing outside. That’s the difference between a nice-to-have and a room you actually live in.
Yes, it will. When you add square footage and increase your home’s value, your property taxes go up proportionally. That’s true for any addition, not just sunrooms, and it’s based on the appraised value the county assigns after the work is done.
In Southside Place, where property values are already high, the tax increase is usually in line with the value you’re adding. If your sunroom costs $45,000 and adds $30,000 to your home’s appraised value, you’re looking at a tax increase based on that $30,000. It’s not insignificant, but it’s also not a surprise—you’re paying taxes on real, usable space that you’re getting value from every day.
The upside is that you’re also building equity. A year round sunroom typically recoups 50-70% of its cost at resale, and in the meantime, you’re using the space instead of staring at an empty patio you can’t enjoy because of the heat or the bugs. The tax increase is part of the cost of ownership, but so is the benefit of actually having a home you want to spend time in.
