Archie MontroseWhen I was a kid, I would spend summer afternoons with my friends outside. While we almost built a routine back then, I could also remember being stuck at home when there’s heavy rainfall–yes, Vancouver weather is that unpredictable.
Fast forward to today, I decided to build a sunroom for my kids so they can still see the beauty of the outdoors no matter the weather. Good thing we’ve got the best sunroom contractors in the city today!
So if you want to enjoy the outdoors year-round, it’s time to contact these experts. We’re quite sure that the sunroom will be your new favorite spot at home too!
How much does a sunroom cost in Vancouver?
In Vancouver, the typical cost of a sunroom can take you around $15,000 for basic designs. Meanwhile, fully insulated sunrooms or customized ones can cost you over $50,000.

For over 30 years, Four Seasons Sunrooms has been one of the go-to contractors of outdoor living spaces such as sunrooms, pergolas, patio covers, and retractable roof systems.
What we like about them is that they can both design and build these outdoor enhancements, allowing us to connect with just one supplier.
If you prefer a customizable, modular unit, you’ll love that this sunroom contractor has partnered up with Sunspace, which allows them to build a specific design upon request.
We loved that there were various designs to choose from. Even better, they use high-quality materials that can protect your home from wind, rain, bugs, and even harmful UV rays.
Meanwhile, we appreciated how they kept a clear communication from the get-go. From the moment we called them for initial queries, they remained patient with us, even if we frequently changed our schedule.
On top of that, it’s great that I have an assigned frontman who looks after the project. We appreciate his daily presence, giving us peace of mind that our sunroom project is progressing the way it should be.
And true enough, we’re pleased that this contractor stuck with the agreed timeline. They even turned over the project a few days before the due date.
Cleans up after installation
“From the first conversation with Bruce to follow ups with Gord to working with the installation crew, the whole experience was exceptional. Everyone was very thoughtful, even power washing the enclosed space so my infant son wouldn’t put any remnant small pieces from installation in his mouth. Their product is also superior and innovative compared to other similar companies. I can’t recommend this company enough and would definitely use them in the future.”

Responsive team
“I hired Four Seasons to design and build a sunroom for my house in New Westminster. The customer service right from my first inquiry was exceptional – the team connected with me quickly to schedule an on-site appointment to review the space and from there designed the most magical room for me and my family to enjoy. The quality of customer service to product and product installation was top notch. I would recommend Four Seasons Sunrooms to anyone and will definitely hire them again in future. Thanks again guys!”

We’re quite impressed by how well they listened to our design briefings and aligned their creative vision to it. It’s also great to have a design team that understands us when it comes to design changes, ensuring that we’re happy with the results.
We also loved that we discussed the ballpark costs during the design phase. This will allow you to check where you are on your budget right off the bat.
Additionally, we never felt pressured during our meetings. Once they see that we’re quite uncomfortable with the costs, or even with the color or design they chose, they are ready to give us options that are close to our design vision.
While most of their sunroom designs are aesthetically pleasing, we commend these guys for utilizing high-quality materials to ensure durability. They even offer a 3-year service guarantee, showing us that they’re confident about their work.
Meanwhile, if you’re too busy to monitor your project, you’ll love that they send updates at the end of the work day. They make sure to send photos and videos so you can track and compare their progress on previous days.
Organized team
“Must say that I am impressed with their service. Yadi, in particular, stood out as a professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my requirements and offered valuable insights and recommendations along the way. The quality of the work performed by Elite Solarium & Patio Inc. exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, the project was completed in a timely manner, and the team left the work area clean and organized.”

Budget-friendly
“After searching many companies and reading reviews, my gut instinct picked Elite Solarium & Patio Inc. Yadi came out that same day I called. Great customer service, professional and knowledgeable. He gave us ideas we hadn’t even thought about, and the price was in our budget. The materials are first grade, the installation was done on time, and the craftsmanship is top drawer. I would highly recommend this company. Today we are sitting underneath a beautiful piece of work. We are so happy! Love it!”

If you’re looking for a sunroom provider that can accommodate your last-minute requests then EconoWise Sunrooms & Patio Covers is your answer.
What’s great about them is that they offer quick project turnaround, making them a reliable choice if you’re working on a tight timeline.
We loved that they’re always ready to bring out material samples, allowing you to envision how it would look in person. We also appreciated that they brought a binder filled with their past projects, helping us see what would work best for us.
And if you need further help in deciding, they will provide you with a full render of your house with the sunroom project, letting you feel like you’re featured in a property show on TV!
Communicating with these guys was relatively easy too. We’re quite impressed that their online communication was consistent with our in-person interaction, so everything was coordinated smoothly.
Another thing that we loved about this company is that their workers were not just skilled but also respectful. We appreciated that they even removed their work boots before entering the main door.
While they can work on your sunrooms without your presence, you should consider guiding them during their first day of work. This will allow you to double-check and straighten out all possible issues before they proceed with the project.
Efficient team
“We’re delighted with our finished product—a cover for our deck, which will make it usable all year round. Brenie was so helpful when she came to measure and prepare the quote. And the installers, Ahmed and Abraham, were efficient and professional. We were very impressed with, and really appreciated their attention to detail. And Abraham was so patient in answering all my questions as they did the installation. From the time of the initial estimate until the project was completed, less than ten days had gone by. Other installers were quoting higher prices and months-long wait times. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Econowise to others!”
Doug Fordham, Google Review
Reviews critical aspects
“We would like to take this opportunity to recognize Sybil and the Econowise team for an outstanding deck cover project. From initial planning through execution this project was flawless. The installers took the time to review the aspects that were critical to us and the end result speaks for itself. I would not hesitate to recommend Econowise for your deck cover project.”

For those of you who are looking for a sunroom contractor that is known for its accurate work and craftsmanship then StrongBuild is here for you. They’ve been known for their meticulous process to ensure the durability of their work.
And because of their high attention to detail, we’re not surprised that they require a longer lead time compared to their counterparts. You just need to be prepared to pay more labor costs then.
What we liked about this sunroom contractor is that they will provide a practical construction plan based on where you live. We loved how they study every unique structure before they even design a plan, ensuring their proposal is functional.
Before the actual start date, we loved that a project manager will schedule a final visit to align all the project details. We appreciate that they take this step to ensure that we’re both on the same page before they start building the sunroom.
We’re also impressed that they have several customized sunroom projects, that’s why you’ll love them if you’re after a contractor that offers design flexibility.
However, you should double-check if the workers left metal bits or scraps at the worksite, especially if you’ve got dogs staying on your outdoor patio.
Accommodates clients’ requests
“Manny and his crew have done a tremendous job building our much awaited sunroom. Be it the quality of work, punctuality or communication our experience with Strongbuild has been 5 ⭐️. Manny patiently heard our ideas and implemented beyond our expectations. Thank you Manny and your crew. We’d recommend Strongbuild to our family or friends in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work.”

Shows up on time
“Strongbuild sunrooms did an amazing job installing a cover for my deck/patio. The crew showed up on time and completed the work professionally. The cover looks amazing and was exactly what I wanted. We had one small issue with the gutters (not due to workmanship but the slope of our roof), Manny came by and addressed the issue and the fix works great. We would strongly recommend for anyone looking for a patio or deck cover.”

What attracted us most about BCAR Patio Cover and Sunrooms is their project management efficiency. We loved how they always meet the agreed turnover date, ensuring that you get to enjoy your newly built sunroom in just a few days.
It’s also great that they have enough supply of materials, preventing delays when it comes to ordering and shipping.
Speaking of materials, we loved that they use durable and top-grade materials, perfect for the unpredictable weather in the city. We’re also pleased to know that they offer a 10-year warranty on their aluminum products, which is always a plus!
It’s worth noting, however, that their design options are quite limited. If you want a more elaborate design, then it might be best to contact another provider so you won’t get disappointed.
On a lighter note, we observed how clean and organized their workers were from start to finish. We noticed they have one specific corner where all their tools are kept, ensuring the walkways remain clear.
Additionally, we loved that their workers make sure the workspace is tidy after every workday. Because of this, we didn’t have to do it ourselves.
It’s also great that they check up on the project just to see if you’re happy with the outcome.
Competitive pricing
“The installation crew of BC Awning & Railing Inc. installed a sun roof for my balcony last week. They did a great work regarding the preparation, installation, and post installation clean up. I am very happy with my sun roof regarding the quality, price, and the process of ordering through Richard and installation.”
Ebrahim Manesh, Google Review
Quick turnaround
“We had an awning constructed recently, and were impressed by the firm’s attention to detail and the ability of their staff to communicate ideas. We were shown samples of the construction materials, were taken through the design choices, and on the day of construction the structure was complete within 4 hours.”
