Screen Room to 3-Season Sunroom Transformation in The Villages at West Neck

July 14th, 2026

Andrea Picardi, Marketing Director

For many homeowners in The Villages at West Neck in Virginia Beach, the backyard is one of the best parts of homeownership. Tucked among mature trees and natural wooded areas, it’s common to spot deer, songbirds, squirrels, and other wildlife throughout the day.

For one of our recent homeowners, that backyard wasn’t just scenery—it was their passion.

As avid bird and wildlife photographers, they dreamed of creating a comfortable space where they could enjoy nature year-round while displaying some of their incredible photography. Their existing screened-in porch offered beautiful views, but pollen, bugs, humidity, and seasonal weather meant they could only enjoy it for part of the year.

The solution? Transforming their screen room into a beautiful Betterliving 3-Season Sunroom.

A Front Row Seat to Nature—365 Days a Year

Nestled against a peaceful wooded backdrop, this new Betterliving 3-season sunroom has become one of the favorite rooms in the home.

Instead of heading indoors when pollen fills the air, mosquitoes arrive, or an afternoon rain shower rolls in, the homeowners can now enjoy uninterrupted views of the woods in a bright, comfortable space designed for seasonal enjoyment.

Their daily routine now includes:

Morning coffee while watching songbirds visit the feeders
Quiet afternoons reading with panoramic woodland views
Relaxing with a glass of wine as the sun sets through the trees
Displaying their beautiful bird and wildlife photography throughout the room

And perhaps the biggest fans of the new space?

Their cats.

With multiple cat trees and climbing towers positioned beside the expansive windows, they’ve created the ultimate feline paradise. Sun-soaked naps, bird watching, and hours of entertainment have become part of their daily routine.

The family enjoys watching deer wander through the yard (except when they’re helping themselves to the landscaping!), while evening visitors often include raccoons raiding the bird feeders, flying squirrels gliding between trees, and even the occasional black bear making a nighttime appearance.

It’s truly nature’s own television.

Why Convert Your Screen Room Into a Sunroom?

A screen room is a wonderful place to enjoy mild weather, but it still leaves homeowners exposed to pollen, insects, wind, and rain. A Betterliving sunroom creates a comfortable enclosed living space that lets you enjoy the outdoors with far fewer interruptions.

Benefits of a 3-Season Sunroom

Extend your outdoor living season through spring, summer, fall, and mild Hampton Roads winters
Stay protected from pollen, mosquitoes, flies, and other insects
Enjoy shelter from rain, wind, and unpredictable weather
Add bright, usable living space without the cost of a traditional room addition
Maximize natural light and scenic backyard views
Create the perfect space for reading, entertaining, birdwatching, hobbies, or relaxing
Increase curb appeal and add value to your home

For these homeowners, the transformation means spending more time enjoying nature without worrying about seasonal pollen, bugs, or sudden weather changes.

The Villages at West Neck: Perfect for Screen Room Conversions

One of the defining features of The Villages at West Neck is that many homes were originally built with screened porches. While they offer a wonderful connection to the outdoors, many homeowners have discovered they’re only comfortable for part of the year.

Virginia Beach’s heavy spring pollen, humid summers, mosquitoes, and changing weather often keep homeowners from fully enjoying these outdoor spaces.

That’s why converting an existing screen room into a Betterliving sunroom has become an increasingly popular upgrade within the community.

Because the existing footprint and roof structure are already in place, converting a screen room into a sunroom is often a simpler and more affordable alternative to building a traditional room addition. Homeowners gain a beautiful enclosed living space while preserving the home’s original architecture and maximizing their investment.

Our team has extensive experience working within HOA communities and understands how to design sunrooms that complement the existing architecture while meeting neighborhood requirements.

From Screen Room to Beautiful 3-Season Sunroom

One of the biggest advantages of converting an existing screen room into a Betterliving 3-season sunroom is that much of the structure is already in place. With an existing roof and patio foundation, enclosing the space is typically faster, more cost-effective, and far less disruptive than building a traditional home addition.

Our team removes the existing screens and carefully installs Betterliving’s custom-engineered aluminum framing and high-quality glass windows, transforming your seasonal porch into a bright, comfortable living space you can enjoy throughout spring, summer, and fall. In just a short time, you’ll have a room that’s protected from pollen, insects, wind, and rain—without sacrificing the beautiful backyard views you love.

Every installation is completed by our Certified Craft-Bilt installers, who are known not only for their expert craftsmanship but also for their professionalism and attention to detail. From the initial installation to the finishing touches, our team treats your home with respect, maintains a clean and organized work area, and communicates with you every step of the way. Their experience allows them to offer thoughtful recommendations throughout the project, ensuring your new sunroom is both beautiful and built to last.

If you’re looking for a quick, affordable way to create a bug-free, pollen-free retreat without the expense of a full home addition, converting your existing screen room into a Betterliving 3-season sunroom is one of the smartest investments you can make.

Stay Connected to Nature with Betterliving

Whether you’re a bird watcher, wildlife photographer, gardener, reader, or simply someone who enjoys peaceful mornings with a cup of coffee, a Betterliving sunroom allows you to stay connected to nature without dealing with the inconveniences of being outdoors.

For these homeowners, what was once a seasonal screened porch has become one of the most loved spaces in their home—a bright, comfortable retreat where they can enjoy every season alongside their cats, surrounded by beautiful wildlife and treasured memories.

If you live in The Villages at West Neck or another Hampton Roads community with an existing screen room, now may be the perfect time to transform it into a space you’ll enjoy every day of the year.
