How difficult would it be to turn this 3 season room into a 4 season?

last year

last modified: last year

This is not something I could tackle myself. I would hire a licensed contractor but I wanted to ask, since the concrete foundation is already here, and the roof (wood and shingle) is present, would it be a very difficult job to remove the old patio enclosures and redo it?

Depends of how intense weather is in 4th season.

Not bad. You will lose some of the dimensions in the framing so it will appear less "open", but should be easy enough.

What climate zone are you in? The walls can be done. You'll lose the openness of the roof in order to insulate. You'd have to add heat, AC and electrical.

Depends on if the foundation is enough. Plus a dozen other factors. You will have the biggest issue with the insulation and roof. You will either lose the wood ceiling, and have to fir that out to add insulation, or you will have to create a SIPS in place on top of the roof, and raise the roof, which may not work, in order to get that insulated.

The difficulty ranges from a total rebuild to purchasing down parkas.
