See the sun room
Ask if the contractor has a showroom where you can see full size models. As soon as you walk through the door you should get a sense as to how comfortable you would feel having the contractor work on your home. Ask if the contractor has a display home where you can see their finished work on someone's home. Your PREMIER sunroom dealer will be happy to show you fully furnished sun rooms either in our showroom or at a neighbor's home! back to top

Compare the cost and value of a sun room
After you visit a showroom, make sure they offer a free, no obligation consultation and measure at your home to provide you with an exact cost for your project. Some contractors offer estimates over the phone. This can hide the true cost of a sunroom project. Scheduling an appointment will be the only true way to be sure you can compare the cost and value of each product before selecting a sun room company.

Your PREMIER sunroom dealer offers free in-home design consultations and to-the-penny price with no hidden costs. back to top

Ask about UL^® Approval
Would you live in a home where the electric system was not UL approved? Be sure the sunroom has UL approved wiring systems.

PREMIER sunrooms have UL certification for electric wiring - some others don't! back to top

Ask about insurance
Workers compensation insurance is a big expense that many contractors don't want to absorb, so they cut corners by hiring sub-contractors to do the installation. If an uninsured worker is injured on your property, you could bear the liability.

All PREMIER sunroom dealers carry workers compensation insurance on all employees and use no sub-contractors. back to top

Screens should be glare free
PREMIER sunroom screens retract and hide away for an unobstructed view. back to top

Check out the handles
Your sun room will get lots of use, so the door handles should be strong and easy to use. Color matched handles with mortise locks look better - and last longer. Screen handles should be full size and well fastened. back to top

What is a sunroom?
The concept of the sunroom began decades ago with the earliest homemade attempts using wood posts and stapled screens to enclose front or back porches to keep out bugs.

Over the years, PREMIER technology has taken the screened-in porch idea, added advanced thermal window and roof systems and created an engineering marvel in what is known as today's contemporary sunroom.

Homeowners can now effectively solve the problems of the outdoors, enjoying it more, and extending the ways a sunroom can be used. Additionally, advances in sunroom design now give homeowners a wide range of attractive construction options - a far cry from the "box on a house" look popular throughout the 60s and 70s.

In short, a PREMIER sunroom is a quality-manufactured addition to your house that provides extended use of outdoor recreational space. A PREMIER sunroom is a place to unwind, relax and spend time with your family and friends. back to top

Why should I choose a sunroom over a standard room addition?
Each type of room has its own specific purpose and you should first determine how you want to use your space. A standard room addition (studs, drywall, standard roof, windows, integrated permanent heating/cooling systems) is designed to meet certain codes as a year-round, permanent living space, like a kitchen or a bedroom.

A sunroom is designed as an additional room on your house that protects you from weather and insects during the times you would want to be outdoors. It offers incredible flexibility to enjoy many activities, such as soaking in a spa, entertaining, exercising, working, relaxing and so much more. It is designed with wall-to-wall windows that provide panoramic views and protection from wind and weather. Screen systems control insects and allow refreshing breezes. Thermal engineering and design helps regulate the interior environment of the sunroom to keep you comfortable throughout many days throughout the seasons and many seasons throughout the year (depending on your geographic region.)

There are various options in PREMIER sunroom wall systems that are designed to provide maximum thermal protection against cold and heat, depending on your geographic region and needs. This will extend the times throughout the day and the days throughout the year that your sunroom can be used. You may also add sunroom-approved, non-permanent heating or cooling sources to extend your sunroom use.

In addition, a sunroom can be installed at a fraction of the cost and time, compared to a standard room addition. Sunrooms may be installed on a variety of approved foundations (deck, concrete) in just one to two days, compared to the weeks or months required for a standard room addition. Also, there are often certain tax advantages to a sunroom, compared to a standard room addition. By code, a sunroom may be designed with a large glass area (65% or more) that is not possible in conventional room additions. Its design does not include a permanent heating or cooling system. The differences in purpose, code and design means that the new square footage attained by an addition of a sunroom is subject to a significantly lower tax assessment compared to the additional square footage attained through a standard room addition (Check with your local tax authority for specifics in your area).

If you like the appearance of a traditional room addition, but the idea and benefits of the sunroom with wall-to-wall windows, then PREMIER's all-new Signature Collection sunroom may be right for you! Designed to integrate your home's architectural features into the sunroom - roof, knee wall, overhangs, siding materials - the Signature Collection offers all the benefits of sunroom living with an entirely fresh appeal! back to top

What size are PREMIER sunrooms?
The beauty of a PREMIER sunroom is that it is custom built to fit your home and needs. You can create a cozy sitting area or something large enough to cover a built-in pool. Some of the more popular sizes are: 12' x 20', 12' x 12', 16' x 20', 10' x 14', 10' x 12', 10' x 8', 8' x 12', and 12' x 15'.

Can I add skylights? Do they really add more light and do they leak?
We highly recommend it! A sunroom with a spa is a perfect way to increase your enjoyment of your sunroom. Imagine soaking away stress at the end of a busy workday, or enjoying the company of family or friends on a summer night or crisp fall afternoon.

Spas are best installed at the time of original installation of the sunroom. In addition, you'll want to consider the electrical needs for the spa during the sunroom's installation. However, a spa can be added after your room is installed, but requires dismantling a portion of your room. Only a PREMIER-authorized dealer should handle this process. back to top

Can you provide a cost per square foot?
Prices vary according to each custom project since square footage is not the only determining factor in the cost of your PREMIER sunroom. Your PREMIER-authorized dealer can provide specific cost evaluations in relation to your custom sunroom project. back to top

What is the warranty on PREMIER products?
PREMIER proudly produces a high-quality sunroom and stands behind it with a Lifetime Warranty. Our warranty is unique in the industry, compared to other warranties of 10, 15 or 20 years. Our lifetime warranty means YOUR lifetime. In addition, our warranty is transferable to another homeowner should you sell your home. This is a tangible plus on resale. back to top

What type of glass is used in the windows in a PREMIER sunroom?
The most defining feature of your sunroom is its windows. That's why PREMIER pays particular attention to making the highest quality sunroom windows. We manufacturer our own window systems, as opposed to using "stock" windows purchased elsewhere.

Our window systems feature PREMIER's tempered HPG 2000 glass- four times stronger than annealed glass. Our HPG 2000 series of glass (available in single-pane and double-pane IG glass) is an exclusive PREMIER Sunrooms product that decreases solar heat gain and provides protection against harmful ultraviolet rays. back to top

How will my PREMIER sunroom stand up to severe weather and snow?
Like a champ! PREMIER sunrooms have been designed and developed by our engineering department who has consistently provided industry-leading innovations in sunroom design for more than 30 years. We manufacturer all our products on site to ensure superior quality control over every aspect of the room from the skeletal structure, to the windows and walls, the roof and all other details of the room.

In addition, our components and rooms are independently tested to meet or exceed all national building codes. In fact, our sunroom structure is built to meet rigorous building code requirements, comparable to those required for the residence itself. PREMIER sunrooms meet the standards for high wind conditions (up to 110 mph). The PREMIER sunroom roof system is designed to properly support snow loads in your area.

Each PREMIER sunroom is a custom room that is designed and approved by our engineering department to meet all the codes of your community as well as all national codes. back to top

How long will it take to build my PREMIER sunroom?
Most homeowners are surprised to learn that their PREMIER sunroom can be installed in just 1-2 days on an approved foundation. Our unique pre-manufactured panel system that is custom built for you in the factory make on-site installation fast and simple.

B efore your room is installed, your PREMIER-authorized dealer will work with you to design the room and plan the project, handling all the details for you. Your sunroom installation process includes: obtaining permits and scheduling the phases of installation (foundation, if required, and room). How quickly installation can be arranged varies depending on your PREMIER-authorized dealer's schedule, weather and other factors. back to top

"My husband and I enjoy our sunroom and use it every chance we have. The dogs can keep an eye on everything that moves in the yard. But best of all, was the customer service. We have never known a company that listened to our concerns and questions and treated us with royalty. The workmanship in the room is exceptional and the workers were very professional, never leaving trash in our yard and cleaning up after the job. I would highly recommend Jacob Sunroom to anyone because they cannot be beat with customer service and quality. Just ask us, we will tell you!" - Tom and Marleen Howard

"When we first thought about adding this sunroom to our home, we debated how useable it would be. It has become probably the most used room in our house. The workers were courteous and prompt. The room was completed on time and to our satisfaction. What we enjoy most about this room? The large windows! Thank you so much. We are very pleased."

"The decision to enclose our covered patio when we downsized was one of the smartest choices we made. Our patio room really opens up the house for us. It gives us more room and provides great sunlight for our plants in the winter. It serves many purposes. It is great for relaxing, watching tv and entertaining or just watching the squirrels or falling snow."

"We want you to know how happy we are with our new patio room. It is the best money we have ever spent on our home. Even though it is in the middle of winter, we still are able to use it almost every day. Your crew was excellent to work with. Our neighbors liked it so much they are also having you put one up for them."

"We love our four season room. It is great for entertaining or just relaxing. I was very impressed how easy it is to keep warm and maintain an even temperature. It was so nice to work with the people at Jacob. From Dave who showed us the room and made sure it was exactly what we wanted in every way and the guys who built it did a great job. Every thing was left in perfect condition. They cleaned every little scrap after finishing. We have lots of compliments. We highly recommend Jacob and the room. The quality is so much better than other rooms we have looked at."

"Curt did a great job measuring for our four season room. It wasn’t an easy measure due to all of the windows/glass/mullions & framework. Your install guy was every bit as helpful in doing what he “had to do” to do the job right. Thanks to both; we LOVE the Awnings." - Mike Mankus
