If you choose to have a pre made sunroom kit installed in your porch, you might be able to get the installation done with the help of your handy man, or even on your own if you have reasonably good DIY skills. If you plan to build a sunroom from scratch, then you'll have to find a Portland area sunroom contractor who can undertake the project.
Choosing a reliable and experienced Portland, OR area sunroom contractor is crucial to the successful completion of your project. There are structural changes to be made because you are making an addition to the house, and plumbing and heating lines will need to be altered. A licensed and certified sunroom contractor is an absolute must. Your sunroom contractor should be a member of trade organizations in his field. It goes without saying that he should have many years of experience in the sunroom construction field.
Other questions to ask -- does your Portland, Oregon area sunroom contractor have a brick and mortar address? Does the sunroom company have professional help desk personnel who answer the phone? Are employees neat and uniformed? Do they drive a company car? Does the office have a physical address? The answer to all these questions must be yes. Make sure your contractor is insured. Don't be afraid to ask him -- it's common policy. If he has sub contractors working under him, they must be insured too. If not, you might be held liable for any accidents that occur on the premises.
We are trying to get an estimate on replacing a sunroom that was storm damaged. The roof has sunken in and water damage has occured. It's 10x12 roughly, has 6 sliding (single pane/non-safety) glass doors from floor to cieling, all weather carpet, and non-inslulated. Your help would be appreciated.
