Three & Four Season DIY Sunrooms

Modular Sun-room Systems

 

Attention Potential DIY Partners!

In years past, low quality was associated with doing-it-yourself. That is definitely not the case anymore, as metal fabrication processes have advanced and modular construction has become more popular. As such, our manufacturer has opened its manufacturing to homeowners. This means you have the opportunity to showcase the DIY expertise behind these modular installations. Home Porch & Patio Kits and the manufacturer are committed to helping with installation problems and their solutions. With several dozens of these DIY applications happening all around the country every year (and increasing!) we are very pleased to be part of the ever growing DIY revolution!

*The picture to the left is given only to illustrate the features of our Sunroom systems.

 

We will be pleased to email you a 'no obligation' / 'delivery included' estimate you can count on.

First see if we can deliver to you...

Special Note:

We were in the room with a dozen professional installers of these products, and we walked away with a dozen different ways to install them! The point is that, as simple as these structures are, there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. These pages are a compilation of methods that are to be used as a guideline for your installation. Common sense and a little forethought will easily overcome the many variables that might arise in your particular situation. These kits are very adaptable! If you have any questions… no problem! We will gladly work with you toward a solution. Please call us toll-free. Home Porch & Patio Kits cannot be held responsible for errors in cuts made along the way. Should you need additional material, we are again only a phone call away. We will always work to minimize the cost and expedite shipments!

The following page has a series of videos posted by C-Thru Sunrooms over the years! We encourage you to take the time to review them. They will help you understand the quality of the manufacturers we are committed to working with. They are also an invaluable source of information on the product lines themselves. C-Thru Sunrooms is the original sunroom manufacturer and can be counted on to provide the best in modular complete sunrooms and walls under systems.
