What do you get with Longhorn’s All-Season Sunrooms?
Unlike a sunroom, it is built and conditioned like the rest of the house, so it never becomes a room you shut up for the winter or avoid in August.
An all-season room makes sense when you want the space every month, not just spring and fall. It uses insulated walls, an insulated roof and better glazing so it can be tied into your heating and cooling. A sunroom is lighter built and meant for the milder months. A screen room is open to the air.
- Insulated walls, roof and glazing throughout
- Can be tied into heating and cooling
- Functions as a true year-round room, not a seasonal one
How are All-Season Sunrooms installed, priced and cared for?
Because it becomes part of the conditioned house, the details matter more: the foundation, the tie-in to the existing roof and walls, and how the room is heated and cooled. On Blackland clay, we check whether the existing slab can carry walls or whether it needs footings or a new pour, because clay movement shows up as sticking doors and cracked corners.
What drives cost: the size, the amount and type of glass, the roof system, the foundation work, and how you heat and cool it (extending your system or adding a separate unit). We will walk through those tradeoffs at the design visit.
An all-season room is an addition in the eyes of most cities, so expect a permit and inspections. Our permit guide explains the steps. The work goes design, engineering and permit, foundation, framing and roof, windows and doors, then electrical, conditioning, finish and final inspection.
All-Season Sunrooms: common questions
Almost always for anything attached to the house. We file it and handle the inspection so it doesn’t stall your schedule.
Either by extending your existing system or by adding a separate unit. We’ll walk through the tradeoffs at the design visit.
A cover or pergola is typically a few days on site once permitted. Enclosures and sunrooms take longer because there’s more structure and glazing.
That is what it is built for. With insulated walls, roof and glazing, and the room tied into heat, it stays usable through a winter cold snap. Keep it conditioned like the rest of the house during a freeze rather than shutting the door on it.
If you mostly want the room in spring and fall and are fine closing it off in the extremes, a sunroom is enough. If you want to sit out there in August and January, choose all-season.
Before You Commit to All-Season Sunrooms
- Insist on the three insulated parts. Glass, roof and walls all have to be insulated for the room to hold temperature; one uninsulated element undoes the other two.
- Plan the heating and cooling. An all-season room needs its own conditioning, whether that is a mini-split or an extension of the house system, and that is a design decision.
- Check the foundation. A room you use year-round is a real addition. The slab, footings and tie-in to the house are engineered accordingly.
How does an all-season room project run?
- 1
A free design visit
A designer measures the yard, walks the access a crew would use, and talks through what you want the space to do. You get a firm price, not a range.
- 2
Drawings, permit and HOA
We draw the job, file the permit with your city and follow it through review. Where an HOA needs a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.
- 3
One crew, one schedule
The same team builds the whole thing in the right order, so the slab, the structure, the electrical and the finish work are not three companies blaming each other.
- 4
Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished job with you, settle the punch list, and leave you with one warranty covering the work rather than a folder of separate ones.

A screen room next to a pool is a good idea that carries one complication nobody mentions in the showroom: it can change where your safety barrier line falls, and that line is inspected.
All-Season Room or Sunroom in DFW: What Changes
In North Texas the gap between a sunroom and an all-season room is not the glass. It is heating and cooling, and the permit, foundation and tax questions that come with it.
