While it may be tempting to begin researching various sunroom kits and setting up a construction plan, it’s important to assess other factors that may impact your ability to properly install a sunroom that suits your needs and expectations. For the highest-quality and most impactful sunroom installation, it’s recommended that only homeowners with experience attempt building a sunroom using a DIY kit.

Before ordering your DIY sunroom kit, also consider:

• Some kits may feature inferior materials made from PVC and plexiglass that will not adequately protect you from various temperatures and weather conditions and is not expected to last as long as glass panels or vinyl, aluminum, or wood sunroom frames.
• By working with a professional to design and install your sunroom, you can choose from a wider variety of sunroom design and material options for added personalization and to better enhance your home’s architecture.
• Most professional sunroom installation companies will have extended product warranties as well as labor warranties for added confidence that the quality of your sunroom will last a lifetime. When trusting a professional, you’ll have the peace of mind that the structure was erected properly and according to all local codes and regulations.
• Be prepared to set aside the necessary time to properly erect your new sunroom and have all of the necessary tools available for setup.
• In addition to making sure you have the correct tools, you’ll also have to check your community’s building codes to make sure you’re following proper regulations and have the necessary permits and inspections scheduled. Maryland Sunrooms will take care of this step on your behalf and any other permit requirements.
