Over the past 40 years that we’ve been in business, many sunroom companies have come and gone. People have told us how they booked jobs, paid deposits or even full price (to get an additional discount) and then the company went out of business, leaving them with nothing! There are usually some "Red Flags" to watch for so you can avoid these pitfalls.
When shopping beware of the "trash talkers" - if they can't sell their own product based on its merit - something is wrong. If they keep pestering you, are they really concerned about you or just desperate for business? Are they being realistic when they promise to do the job in two to four weeks. Depending on the weather and time of year, we have been pre-booked as many fourteen weeks in advance.
Be cautious about "freebies" or "buy now promotions" that are designed to force you into a quick decision. No company can stay in business long by working for nothing! A 10-20% deposit should be sufficient unless the company has no credit and has to pay for material up front! Check with Google Business Page and the Better Business Bureau (if there is no information about them they probably are not a member), to find out about their track record. Make sure they obtain a building permit and don’t pay until you have copies of it. Also remember - warranties don't mean much if the company isn't there to honour them. The old adage holds true - if it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.
