Custom-Designed Sunroom Solutions in Cherokee County
A sunroom is a glass-enclosed room attached to your home, built to bring the outdoors in while keeping out bugs, rain and pollen. In Cherokee County, we build everything from simple screened porches to insulated four-season rooms you can use all year.
Many homes here already have a porch with a solid roof and floor. Screening or enclosing that porch is usually faster and more affordable than building from bare ground, and it keeps the look of the home.
Every room is measured on site, designed around your home and built by our own crew, from the first drawing to the final walkthrough.

Towns We Serve Across Cherokee County, SC
Cherokee County sits right on I-85 between Charlotte and Spartanburg, with the Broad River running through it and a mix of in-town neighborhoods and country homes on bigger lots. We build sunrooms, screened porches, decks and patio covers across the county. Here's what we usually build in each area.
Gaffney
The county seat, known for the Peachoid water tower on I-85, has plenty of established neighborhoods with older homes and existing porches. Screening or enclosing a porch is often the most affordable way to add a room here. Inside city limits, permits go through the City of Gaffney instead of the county.
Blacksburg
Near the North Carolina line and a short drive from Kings Mountain, Blacksburg homes often have room out back for a new deck with a screened porch or pergola over part of it.
Chesnee Area
On the western edge of the county near Cowpens National Battlefield, homes here tend to sit on larger, rural lots. Three-season rooms and bigger screened porches are popular for families who want to enjoy the land without the bugs.
Along the Broad River
Homes near the river and its creeks see humid summers and plenty of mosquitoes. A screened porch or retractable screens let you sit outside on summer evenings in comfort.
Country Homes and Farmhouses
Across the rural parts of the county, many homes have wraparound or front porches that can be screened, enclosed with glass or turned into a four-season room.
New Construction
Newer homes around Gaffney usually come with a bare patio or small deck. We can build a sunroom or screened porch right on that footprint, which keeps the project quick and the cost down.
Screened Porch, Three-Season or Four-Season Room in Cherokee County?
A screened porch is the most affordable way to enjoy the outdoors without bugs, a three-season room adds glass for spring and fall, and a four-season room is fully insulated for use all year. In Cherokee County, where summers are long and humid and homes near the Broad River see mosquitoes from spring into fall, most homeowners choose between these three.

| Best for | Bug-free evenings, spring to fall | Longer season, rain and pollen kept out | A real room you use all year |
| Walls | Screens | Glass or vinyl panels | Insulated glass and framing |
| Heating and cooling | No | No | Yes |
| Permit | Usually required | Required | Required |
| Cost | Lowest | Middle | Highest |

How Much Does a Sunroom Cost in Cherokee County, SC?

A screened porch costs the least, a three-season room sits in the middle, and an insulated four-season room costs the most.
