Every project is custom, so cost depends on the size, design, foundation, and product line (3-season vs. 4-season). On average, most Maine homeowners invest between $25,000 and $60,000 for a professionally installed sunroom. We’ll provide a detailed written estimate after your free in-home consultation.

• 3-Season Room - Built with WeatherMaster windows and designed for spring through fall comfort. Not fully insulated, but perfect for fresh air and light in three seasons.

• 4-Season Room - Fully insulated walls, roofing, and glass, allowing you to enjoy the space comfortably year-round, even through Maine winters.

It depends on the sunroom model. A simple screen room may be built on an existing deck or patio, while a 4-season insulated sunroom usually requires a frost-protected concrete pier or helical piers. We’ll assess your site and recommend the best solution.

Yes. A well-built sunroom often increases resale value because buyers love the extra living space and natural light. In Maine, where outdoor living time is limited by weather, sunrooms are a highly desirable feature.
No licenses are required in the state of Maine. Our team has decades of experience and is trained directly by Sunspace to ensure the highest level of craftsmanship.

We keep you informed at every stage. If an issue arises, our project manager addresses it immediately and works with you to resolve it. Our crews are trained to protect your property and maintain a clean, safe jobsite.
Yes. In most Maine towns, a building permit is required for any structural addition. Even a smaller 3-season enclosure typically needs approval. You can acquire the permit yourself, or we can do it for you for a fee. If engineering is required, that is an additional cost as well.
We take care of the entire permitting process on your behalf, including drawings, engineering (if required), and communication with your local building department. It’s included as part of our full-service installation. You can acquire the permit yourself, or we can do it for you for a fee. If engineering is required, that is an additional cost as well.
Once permits are approved and materials are ready, most projects are completed within 10 days.
Our crews typically work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. We strive to minimize disruption by keeping a clean jobsite and protecting your landscaping and property.
We offer flexible financing plans, including low monthly payments and same-as-cash options (subject to credit approval). During your consultation, we’ll go over all available financing programs.
We use factory-engineered roof systems, proper flashing, and professional sealing techniques to ensure a watertight connection. Our installers are trained specifically on transitions between your home and the new structure.
Flashing is installed according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. We use aluminum and sealant systems to move water away from the joint, protecting your new sunroom and your existing home.
Your room will be mostly windows. We do recommend keeping the room independent from the living area.
Very little. WeatherMaster vinyl windows only require occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. The aluminum structure is powder-coated and virtually maintenance-free. We recommend seasonal inspections to keep everything looking and performing like new.
