Happy Summer Solstice to all!
I’m not sure if everyone is aware that the past Tuesday was the longest day of the year. Hard to believe considering how the last couple weeks were cool and rainy. We did need the rain that we’ve received but the only downfall is that the combination of moisture and warm temperatures that we are bound to get often create conditions that are perfect for mosquitoes.
When the mosquito population explodes, so do sales in the sunroom industry. It seems that people reach their breaking point and decide to invest in a sunroom (and their sanity). This year however, it was already very busy and now the orders are really piling up. Our clients that already have their sunrooms are happy they can be "outside" still enjoying their enclosed decks while anyone else with open decks hasn't really used them much yet. Our clients that haven't had their rooms installed yet are now really looking forward to their rooms.
We usually get rooms installed in 8 - 12 weeks from time of order (depending on the time of year) but if it gets any busier we may have to extend that forecast. We are also often dealing with variances that delay the permit process. The point is this - if you are fed up with the weather and bugs, you want to start doing your homework now! If you think, or someone tells you that you can have your room in a few weeks - think again! Everyone in the industry is busy and I would be cautious about anyone that promises a quick delivery - they may be playing on your emotions.
If they are not that busy I would question - why?
Even if it takes a little later in the summer to get your room, you have to remember that, all of a sudden, your summer will be so much longer as most people will use a three season sunroom into November and even December in some cases. It really is worth the wait!
