Year began: 1975    Franchising since: 1984
Chris and Joe Esposito were operating a mail order business for greenhouses when they decided to start their own sunroom manufacturing company. Relying on Chris’ experience as a remodeling contractor and Joe’s training as an architect, the brothers founded Four Seasons Sunrooms in Long Island, New York, in 1975. The company manufactures sunrooms, conservatories, solariums, patio rooms, deck enclosures and greenhouses. In 1984, Four Seasons created a network of local franchises to sell its products. With more than 300 locations in 30 countries, Four Seasons designs and tests its products to comply with building codes worldwide, from heavy snow to extreme winds.
