Pros
- Has 4 decades in business
- BBB accredited for 40 years
- 10-year warranty for labour and material
- Has 4 window tint selections
Cons
- Sunroom gallery photos lack details
- Some reports of unresponsiveness
The Awning Factory has been providing home customisation services for houses in Calgary for 40 years. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has accredited them for over 4 decades.
We found that they offer a 10-year warranty for their labour and materials, which is the standard for most sunroom companies in Alberta.
They have two sunroom models that clients can use as a basis: model 100 and model 200. While this selection is more limited compared to other companies, they are able to compensate for it through different customisation features.
We also found that they offer 4 types of window tint for sunrooms: clear, smoke grey, dark grey, and bronze. We think this is created because it allows the client more creative freedom to personalise their sunrooms.
Clients we’ve spoken with praise the durability of their products. Their sunrooms apparently stay in good condition for at least 12 years.
However, a handful of clients were frustrated with the team’s lack of response, especially when it comes to repair requests.
And while their main gallery has striking shots and details of their other projects, it would be better if they did the same with their sunroom portfolio.

Pros
- More than a decade in business
- Has two types of sunroom selection
- Has 20-year manufacturer’s warranty
- Lots of customisation features
Cons
- Portfolio lacks details
- Some cases of recurrent repairs
Unlike the usual home renovation contractors, Desert Sun Patios Ltd. has a lot of customisation options for its sunrooms. Clients would always have more than 3 options for roof types, shapes, and wall types.
They also have two sunroom selections, the 3-Season and All-Season sunroom selection.
We think their customisation for the 3-Season sunroom is worth mentioning because aside from coming with 6 roof type selections, the company can also build it as a full-glass sunroom. This feature is unique to this company.
We found that the company offers a 1-year labour warranty for clients. We were also pleasantly surprised by their 20-year manufacturer warranty, which is unusual for companies in this industry.
Desert Sun Patios Ltd. has been helping Calgary homeowners customise their houses for 11 years, which is a testament to the wealth of experiences they’ve accumulated.
For people curious about their works on sunrooms, you can find countless samples on their website’s portfolio. However, we think they could improve on providing more details about their sunroom project to help clients get familiarised with how they work.
However, some sunrooms they’ve done for clients seem to be going through recurrent repairs, which is a bit concerning. That said, we’re glad that these clients find them responsive enough to keep them reassured that they’re working on the issue.

Pros
- Almost 2 decades in business
- Has 20 year warranty
- Has 9 types of sunrooms
- Customisation choices per type of sunroom
- Strong portfolio
Cons
- Reports of defective building materials
- Closed on weekends
The Select Sunrooms has been helping the people of Calgary to realise their desired vacation room at their home for 18 years.
We are amazed that they have not two but nine types of sunrooms. Their All-Season Curved and Classic Conservatory are worth mentioning because other companies do not offer these types of sunrooms in their selections.
For their warranty, we found that they offer a 20-year manufacturer guarantee for their sunrooms, which is quite generous.
Clients who want lots of options will like that each of the nine sunrooms has a lot of customisation options. For instance, just for the All-Season Curved, they have two types of frames and three types of windows.
Previous customers of the company complimented their responsiveness to repair requests. One client who contracted them for three sunrooms recalled that despite the manufacturer not responding for warranty replacement, the company still promptly replaced the defective roofs.
A number of clients also shared with us that they didn’t like how the company used defective materials for their project. We hope they find a better manufacturer, as this would greatly tarnish their reputation.
Also, they are unavailable during weekends. Clients who can adjust their schedule to the company’s office hours will not be disappointed with their top of the line service.

Pros
- More than 3 decades in business
- Accredited by BBB
- 10-year labour warranty
- Uses polycarbonate roofs
- Extensive customisation features
Cons
- Has only one type of sunroom
- Limited sunroom portfolio
- Closed on weekends
Hailing from Australia, Suncoast Enclosures has been a part of Calgary’s home customisation industry for 31 years.
The company offers one type of sunroom, the 3-Season sunroom, which come in two variations: the deck enclosure, and gazebo type.
We like that each of them have different customisation features to give more options for clients to make the sunroom their own.
What sets their sunrooms apart is that they install polycarbonate roofs. This type of roof is perfect for areas that experience heavy rains and snowstorms, since it is more impact-resistant.
The roof also comes in three variants, opaque, clear, and heat reflective, giving more room for customisation to clients.
We discovered that the company offers a 10-year warranty for their labour and materials, which is quite decent.
Clients of Suncoast Enclosures are fond of the company’s thoroughness in updating them. One client not only liked how they briefed them on every phase, but also that they completed the project way before the scheduled deadline.
Although they have sample photos for their works on sunrooms, they are much fewer (less than 10) than what their competitors have on display.

Pros
- More than a decade in business
- Accredited by BBB
- Company is an active member of WCB
- 2-year labour warranty
- 2-year material warranty
- Detailed portfolio
Cons
- Limited selection of sunrooms
- Closed on weekends
Blueflower Sunrooms building sunrooms in Calgary homes for 11 years. In 2012, just a year after their business started, they received an accreditation from BBB.
The company can do both 3-seasons and 4-season sunrooms. Although it is good that they have glass sunrooms, they have lesser options compared to others.
What’s great is that Blueflower Sunrooms offers the lengthiest warranty for labour and warranty among other sunroom companies.They offer a 2-year warranty, which is a year longer than what most sunroom companies provide.
Also, the company is an active member of the Canadian Workers’ Compensation Boards (WCB). This means that clients would have no worries about reparations in case an accident happens at their homes during installation.
Previous customers of the Blueflower Sunrooms praise their patience and responsiveness to their questions. One client who commissioned a sunroom mentioned that they addressed every concern they had and kept them in the loop throughout the process.
They also have a decent portfolio. Some of their sunroom photos have helpful details, such as materials and completion date, that other companies do not have.
But, clients who want to avail themselves of their services for sunroom installation may want to allocate extra hours in their weekdays. It is because the company is not available for service during weekends.
