We are looking at getting one of those patio sunrooms built.

Has anyone got any advice or recommendations on who to use and any stories/experiences good or bad?

Do not go with design additions. Under any circumstances. Ever. a 14 week project became a 14 month project and we are still fixing things up. Nearly ended up in court, and the stress of their incompetence was unbearable. For the most part the room is now enjoyable and a few tricks have covered up or distract the eye from the worst of the cosmetic problems.

Design additions screwed up ours. Despite detailed plans, they left a good chunk of the roof off it and needed to comeback to install it (claiming they had forgotten about it).
Also charged for and poured too much concrete, making the level too high to pave.
