How large of a sunroom can I build?

We can build a sunroom of any size to suit your specifications, while meeting engineering requirements and building code dictates.

Do I need to obtain a building permit?

A building permit is required; however, we will obtain it for you. Your project quote also includes the required engineer-stamped documents. If a variance is necessary, it will be handled separately and at cost.

Can I see some completed projects?

SunCo has a drive up display set-up so you can view and sample some of our sunrooms. We can also arrange a visit to a past project that is similar in design and introduce you to those who have previously placed their trust in us.

How long will my sunroom last?

Your Sunco sunspace will have a virtually unlimited lifespan of maintenance free enjoyment.

How much does a sunroom cost?

How much does a car cost? In the final analysis, its cost is determined by the option package you choose. Likewise, a SunCo sunspace has unlimited design possibilities. Our designer, Owen Shaffer, will walk you through the entire project from start to completion and break down all costs clearly and concisely for your perusal. Just remember, he takes his coffee black.

What type of foundation can a sunspace be built on?

This addition to your home will be supported by piles. Both concrete piles and “Ground Hog” piles (steel piles) are building code approved sunspace foundations. “Ground Hog” auger piles are more often chosen for backyard construction as they are manually screwed down into the ground to about the same depth as your basement, and they simply stay there. The 16-inch wide by 16-foot deep concrete friction piles used are a little more money and require a Bobcat to prepare the ground for placement. Of course, clean-up is provided, should you go the concrete pile route.

What type of floor system is used?

Pressure treated lumber is used where building code requires. Minimum size 2" x 8" joists are installed 16” on center, surfaced with 5/8” tongue and groove plywood, and then uniformly supported by a minimum three-ply 2" x 8" beam over the piles. This type of construction ensures that there will be little or no possibility of movement, or squeaks. In short, no regrets. We can even insulate the floor, which is often desired.

What types of walls are used in your sunspaces?

SunCo Sunspaces wall systems are made of maintenance-free extruded aluminum with baked-on Duracron enamel finish, heat-tempered safety glass, and fiberglass screening. Clear glass, privacy glass, solid panels, side sliding windows, swinging and sliding doors (with sliding screens) provide endless design options. No other “three season” or “three season plus” sunspace offers greater ventilation and view.

What type of roof system do you use?

Our roof systems are a structural maintenance-free panel system that features skins of aluminum with baked-on enamel finish bonded to a core of high density polystyrene. Three thicknesses: 3” (R15), 4” (R20), and 6” (R30) cover all performance requirements. SunCo roof systems come complete with side fascia, integral gutters, and downspouts. SunCo's “gable” roofs feature an aluminum-clad Paralam ridge beam that's perfect for tying a ceiling fan into - no wobbles there!

Does SunCo provide four seasons sunspaces?

Simply...Yes! Though there is a wide arena of what some call "four seasons" or "year round" sunrooms; we make it simple and fully disclosed. An aluminum and glass structure just doesn't cut it for true year round living space in our climate. We Tobans deal with plus forty to minus forty here, and the issue of heating and cooling is most definitely involved in creating comfortable living space. For those looking for living space, SunCo builds year round Sunspace additions to the home. For those looking to simply extend the use of their intended sunspace we provide what we term a "three seasons plus" sunspace. With an insulated floor, electrical service, dual glazings in our aluminum system walls and a roof system reaching R30, this space is still kept seperate from your living space.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with SunCo.  Do they offer any other services other than sunspaces? 

Yes, our skilled tradesmen are experienced in building garages and all facets of home renovations including kitchens, bathrooms and basements.  You will find that all you need to know is SunCo!

Do I really need to have a coffee ready when Owen arrives at my home for a consultation?

No, not always. He does take his coffee black (and strong), but he has been known to have a glass of water. A glass of well-aged Perrier will do (just kidding)!
