A permanent enclosure for a porch you already have.
A 3 season room is not a new structure — it is what you do with an existing one. SummerSpace enclosure panels attach to your current covered porch or patio framing, converting the open sides into a weatherproof room. Glass panels keep rain, wind, and cold out in spring and fall. Remove the glass in summer and the same room becomes a screen enclosure — bugs out, breeze in.
It requires no new foundation, no structural work beyond the attachment points, and no major construction disruption. For most Capital Region homes with an existing covered porch, it is the fastest path to a usable outdoor room.
Everything that makes a SummerSpace 3 season room the right fit for a Capital Region porch.
Bug-free from April through November
Extra-strength polyester screening blocks insects — including the blackflies that arrive in Capital Region May and the mosquitoes that follow through September. The mesh is dark enough to give a hint of privacy without obstructing your view.
Fits any porch or covered patio
Custom-fabricated panels fit almost any size porch opening. Powder-coated aluminum framing with tempered glass and durable screen — engineered for performance in a slender, unobtrusive profile that does not overwhelm your existing architecture.
Removable sashes for open-air days
On the days when the air is warm and the breeze is exactly what you want, the glass sashes remove and reinsert with minimal effort. You decide whether it is a closed room, a screen enclosure, or fully open — without tools.
SOMFY motorized controls
Optional SOMFY motorized panel controls — the world leader in motorized systems — let you open and close panels from a remote. Panel controls are operated independently from your StruXure pergola system.
12 frame color finishes
SummerShield 2604 powder coating in 12 low-gloss, lightly textured finishes. AAMA 2604-rated, 3,000-hour salt spray tested, UV-inhibited, and anti-microbial infused. The finish that holds up through Upstate NY winters without fading, chalking, or corroding.
Extruded aluminum and stainless steel construction
All structural components are fully extruded aluminum and stainless steel — strong, non-corrosive, and maintenance-free. No wood to rot, no paint to peel, no annual maintenance ritual. The room you build this season is the room you have in twenty years.
Add radiant heat for a longer season
Pair your 3 season room with ceiling-mounted Infratech or Bromic radiant heating and the three seasons become four. Infrared heats you directly — not the air — so a 45-degree October afternoon or evening inside your enclosed porch feels like sitting next to a fire.
Stop watching your porch sit empty.
We come to your home, measure the openings, and show you exactly what your enclosed porch will look like — before you commit to anything. Fixed price. Custom-fitted panels.

Motorized Screens
If your space does not have an existing covered structure to enclose, motorized retractable screens may be the right starting point — they attach to open pergola bays or porch posts and deploy in seconds.
StruXure Pergolas
Looking for a fully engineered outdoor room from the ground up — not an enclosure retrofit? A StruXure pergola with screens is built as a complete weather-controlled system from day one.
Radiant Heating
A 3 season room gets you from April through November. Add ceiling-mounted Infratech or Bromic radiant heating and you push that window into November — or further. The heaters mount flush inside your enclosure and warm you directly, not the air.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between a 3 season room and a screen room?
A 3 season room uses panels that combine tempered glass and screen — so you can choose between a fully closed glass enclosure in cooler months and an open screen enclosure in warmer weather. Glass panels can be removed entirely for a fully open-air experience. A fixed screen room has screen only and no glass option. For Capital Region homeowners who want to use the space from early spring through late fall, the 3 season room offers more flexibility.
Does a 3 season room require a permit?
In most Capital Region municipalities, enclosing an existing covered porch or patio with non-structural panels does not require a permit — you are adding panels to an existing structure, not building a new one. However, permit requirements vary by town and project scope. We review your specific situation at the consultation and advise on any local requirements before work begins.
How much does a 3 season room cost?
Most residential SummerSpace 3 season room installations range from $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on the size of the porch opening, the number of panels, and your choice of motorized vs. manual operation. Every quote is fixed-price and based on your exact measurements — no estimates, no surprises.
Can the glass panels be removed in summer?
Yes — that is one of the core features of the SummerSpace system. Glass sashes remove and reinsert without tools. Most homeowners run the panels closed from April through June and October through November, then remove the glass entirely in July and August to let the porch breathe as a screen enclosure. You configure the room for the season.
What existing structure do I need to have?
You need an existing covered structure — a porch with a roof, a covered patio, or a pergola with a solid or louvered roof above. The SummerSpace panels attach to your existing framing. If you do not have an existing covered structure, we can discuss building one first, or a motorized retractable screen system may be a better fit for your situation.
How does a 3 season room hold up in upstate NY winters?
The SummerSpace aluminum frame and SummerShield finish are rated for outdoor use year-round. Most homeowners leave the frame in place through winter with the glass panels installed to protect the frame and porch floor from snow and ice accumulation. The tempered glass handles freeze-thaw cycling without issue. We recommend a simple annual inspection of the hardware in spring before the season starts.
Can I add heating to a 3 season room?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it if you want to extend use past October. Ceiling-mounted Infratech or Bromic infrared heaters mount inside the enclosure and warm you directly, not the air. Because the space is enclosed, the heat stays where you are rather than dissipating outdoors. A properly heated 3 season room in Upstate NY can realistically be used through November and into early December.
Your porch could be a room by next month.
One free in-home visit is all it takes. We assess your structure, configure the panels to your exact openings, and give you a fixed-price quote. No surprises. No pressure.
