Services
Four-Season Sunrooms
Our four-season sunrooms feature fully insulated roofs and walls with high-density foam core, triple-locking windows, and thermally broken aluminum frames. These structures maintain comfortable temperatures year-round through optional heating and cooling systems. The scratch-resistant polymer base walls and baked-enamel finish ensure durability against Wisconsin's weather extremes. Each installation includes a lifetime labor warranty and energy-efficient glass that blocks UV rays while maximizing natural light.
Three-Season Sunrooms
Three-season sunrooms provide cost-effective outdoor living from spring to fall with double-sliding windows, insulated base walls, and tempered safety glass. These structures prioritize ventilation and natural light while protecting against insects and weather. Customizable window sizing and optional transoms enhance views. The weather-tight construction meets Miami-Dade wind codes, and ENERGY STAR-rated components improve energy efficiency for seasonal use.
Patio Enclosures
Transform existing porches into enclosed sunrooms using durable polymer walls and thermal windows. These retrofit solutions add livable square footage and increase home value. The installation process minimizes disruption while converting open spaces into climate-controlled environments. Optional heating elements and customizable layouts allow year-round enjoyment of previously underutilized outdoor areas.
Patio Covers
Patio covers protect outdoor spaces with aluminum columns in Roma, Venetian, or Florentine styles and maintenance-free roofs. These structures block UV rays and rain while maintaining an open-air feel. Available in white or sandstone finishes, they complement home exteriors and withstand harsh weather without cracking or fading. Installation includes personalized design consultations for optimal aesthetic and functional integration.
Custom Retrofits
Convert existing porches into enclosed living spaces using premium materials from Alligator and TEMO. This process retains structural foundations while adding insulated walls, thermal windows, and customizable layouts. The retrofit approach reduces costs compared to new construction while delivering energy-efficient, code-compliant additions that expand usable home space and enhance curb appeal.

Bear sunrooms designed and built a room that didn't meet code. We are left with a room that they designed but needs to be dramatically altered to meet code. I wish I would have gone with another company. I have never posted but don't want this to happen to someone else.

Awesome service and sunroom addition. No sales pressure from Scott Bear and price was less than two other quotes we got for a similar room. Andy and his crew did a great job building the addition and cleaning up afterwards. Quality is excellent. Windows and patio door slide easy, seal tight, and there is no wind noise on blustery days. The roll up screens are an added plus. Insulation of floor, ceiling, frame, and insulated windows and door will be beneficial when cooler weather arrives. Sitting in our 14' x 15' room is like being outside and we can now see our entire backyard and watch the birds and wildlife, with no bugs bothering us. If you are looking to add an addition, consider Bear Builders and you won't be disappointed. Steve and Terry S Menomonee Falls, WI
