3-season vs. 4-season sunroom — what's the difference in Alabaster AL?

A 4-season sunroom typically returns 50–70% of its cost at resale in Alabaster AL. A well-built sunroom adds livable square footage, improves natural light, and has strong buyer appeal. 3-season rooms return less (30–50%) since they're seasonal.
