The Problem We Solve
Your Backyard Is Closer Than You Think
Most homeowners love the idea of outdoor living, but bugs, weather, and wasted space keep getting in the way. Eastern Sunrooms changes that permanently.
25+ Years Building in SE North Carolina
Unused Outdoor Space
A porch or patio that sits empty for much of the year is an opportunity to add more functional space to your home. We evaluate the existing structure and recommend whether it can be enclosed or whether a new custom sunroom would be the better solution.
Bugs, Rain, Pollen, and Summer Heat
A properly designed enclosure lets you enjoy outdoor views while gaining protection from insects, rain, wind, pollen, and direct exposure to the weather. Window and ventilation options can be selected based on how open or protected you want the room to feel.
Finding the Right Sunroom Contractor
Sunroom construction involves structural evaluation, product selection, permits, custom measurements, weatherproofing, and careful integration with the existing home. Working with an experienced sunroom contractor helps ensure that each part of the room is designed as one complete system.

Wilmington: Choose Your Model
Every Sunspace room is custom designed for the home where it will be installed. Dimensions, roof configuration, window placement, ventilation, frame colors, floor system, and finishing options are selected for the individual project rather than taken from a standard one-size-fits-all plan.

Model 200 WeatherMaster Three-Season Sunroom
Maximum Ventilation With Flexible Weather Protection
The Model 200 combines the open feeling of a screen room with the added protection of WeatherMaster Vertical 4-Track Windows. Its walls are constructed with two-inch foam panels and heavy-gauge aluminum extrusions, not vinyl framing.
Each WeatherMaster window contains flexible ViewFlex vinyl panels that can slide up, slide down, or gather in the middle. The system opens to provide up to 75 percent ventilation, allowing you to quickly adjust the room as coastal weather changes.
When closed, the windows help protect the room from insects, rain, wind, pollen, and harmful UV exposure. The lightweight vinyl panels are easy to remove and clean, and they are more durable than traditional glass.

- Panels can be removed for cleaning without specialized tools.
- Four tint options allow you to balance visibility, glare, privacy, and sunlight.
- The system is well suited to porch conversions and installation beneath an existing roof.
- A compatible Sunspace screen room may be upgraded to WeatherMaster windows without rebuilding the entire structure.
Model 300 Three-Season Glass Sunroom
Traditional Glass With an Open, Architectural Feel
The Model 300 is a three-season glass sunroom built with two-inch extruded insulated aluminum pillars and single-glazed glass windows. It is a strong choice for homeowners who want clear views, clean sightlines, and the appearance of a permanent architectural addition.
Its aluminum-framed double roller windows have two operating sashes with no permanently fixed side. This allows ventilation from either side of the window and provides greater control over the direction of the airflow.
The Model 300 can be designed with a cathedral ceiling or contemporary studio-pitch roof. The roof system is customized according to the room’s projection, structural requirements, desired insulation level, and relationship to the existing home.

- Multiple roof configurations allow the addition to complement different home styles.
- Five standard aluminum frame colors provide flexibility when matching the exterior of the home.
Model 400 Insulated Four-Season Sunroom
A Thermal Sunroom Designed for Year-Round Living
The Model 400 is the most insulated Sunspace sunroom option. It uses high-density three-inch foam walls, heavy-gauge three-inch aluminum extrusions, commercial-grade thermal breaks, and high-efficiency Low-E Argon glass.
The thermal breaks reduce heat transfer through the aluminum framing and help control condensation. The insulated walls, roof, floor, and glass work together to create a room that can be incorporated into a planned heating and cooling strategy for year-round comfort.
The Model 400 is appropriate for homeowners who want the new space to function more like the rest of the home. It can become a family room, dining area, home office, exercise room, reading room, or comfortable place to enjoy outdoor views in every season.

- An insulated ThermaDeck floor can provide a strong, finished-ready base when appropriate for the project.
- The floor can receive finishes such as carpet, tile, laminate, or hardwood.
- The room can be designed as a comfortable extension of the home rather than a seasonal enclosure.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Sunroom Installation
What is the difference between a three-season and four-season sunroom?
A three-season sunroom is designed to extend the amount of time you can comfortably enjoy an outdoor-facing space. The Model 200 and Model 300 provide protection from insects and weather, but they do not have the complete insulated wall and glass system of a year-round room.
A four-season Model 400 uses three-inch insulated walls, thermal breaks, an insulated roof and floor system, and Low-E Argon glass. It is designed to be incorporated into a heating and cooling plan for year-round living.
How much does a sunroom typically cost in North Carolina?
Sunroom cost depends on the size, model, existing structure, roof, floor, window system, site conditions, electrical work, permits, and finishing choices. Converting a suitable covered porch may require less structural work than building a complete room from the ground up. We provide an accurate estimate after evaluating the property and confirming the design.
What are some alternatives to building a complete sunroom?
A screen room may be appropriate when airflow and insect protection are the main priorities. A porch conversion can add WeatherMaster vinyl or glass windows to a suitable existing covered porch. A patio cover creates shade and weather protection without enclosing the space. We help homeowners compare these options based on budget, weather protection, and expected seasonal use.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a sunroom?
The advantages can include more usable living space, natural light, outdoor views, weather protection, and a room that can serve several purposes. The tradeoffs include the initial project investment, permit and structural requirements, and the need to choose the correct level of insulation and climate control. A three-season room generally requires a smaller investment, while a fully insulated four-season room provides greater year-round comfort.
Can a sunroom be installed on my existing porch or deck?
Possibly. We inspect the existing structure to determine whether it is suitable for the proposed room. We look at its condition, dimensions, support, roof, connection points, access, and applicable permit requirements before recommending an installation method.
How long does a sunroom installation take?
The installation time depends on the model, size, site preparation, existing structure, weather, permits, and project complexity. We provide a project-specific schedule after the design and scope have been confirmed.
Do I need a permit for sunroom installation in Wilmington, NC?
Sunroom additions and structural porch conversions commonly require permits. The exact requirements depend on the project and jurisdiction. We identify the applicable requirements as part of the planning process and explain how they will be handled.
What is the difference between a sunroom and a screen enclosure?
A screen enclosure keeps insects out while preserving maximum natural airflow. A sunroom adds vinyl or glass windows for greater protection from rain, wind, pollen, and changing weather. An insulated four-season sunroom goes further by adding thermal walls, insulated glass, and other components needed for year-round comfort.
Will a sunroom add value to my home?
A well-designed sunroom can improve the function, appearance, and appeal of a home, but no contractor can guarantee a specific increase in resale value. The effect depends on the room’s quality, permits, integration with the home, local market, condition, and how useful the space is to future buyers.
Do you offer financing?
Financing options may be available for qualified homeowners. Ask about current programs and terms during your consultation.
