• WHY do my neighbors complain of a cold floor in their sunroom during the winter months?
  If not correctly designed and built to provide thermal efficiency, the floor can allow cold temperatures to penetrate into the heated space. Click here for more information.
• WHY are some sunroom roofs shingled to match the house and others are not?
  Some systems are not designed to support the heavy weight of shingles and others can. A shingled roof provides excellent protection against leaks, hail and  other elements of nature; plus it will tie into the looks of your house for total continuity. Click here for more information.
