Last weekend we participated in the Home and Garden Show at the Convention Center and as usual, there was a recurring theme. Over the years many sunroom companies have come and gone. Some due to poor business practices, some from inferior products and some simply from lack of experience. Clients of these companies often inquire if we can service their sunrooms. While we would like to help them but we just don’t have the time or manpower to work on these jobs. Sometimes the effort required just isn’t worth the results. Many have heard the old adage “you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear!”
It was nice however, to see our past clients, who stopped by and would explain the benefits of a sunroom to prospective customers. One lady proclaimed “Three seasons? I use mine just about all year!” Another commented how some years they have enjoyed Christmas day in their sunroom (with a small space heater). We tell people that from minus 10 to 15, when the sun is shining on the windows, they will be able to use the sunroom. Often they correct us and say they have used it when it was much colder (sometimes I love to be wrong).
The whole point is that most people don’t realize how a properly designed three season sunroom (built in Manitoba for our climate) extends their outdoor living season and quality of life. That’s why our clients are so eager to stop and talk about their rooms, (it’s like having thousands of good will ambassadors extolling the virtues of our product).
As most jobs we do bring us 3 to 5 referrals, we remain quite busy. So if you’re interested in getting your own sunroom, get started now, as things book up quickly. Visit our factory for a tour, or call (204) 940-3030 for a free design and estimate.
