Comments on demo and concrete pad installation:
Great Day Improvements (GDI) did not grout in the rebar that was used to tie the old footer to the new pad. I had to do that myself.
The old footer surface was left covered with gravel, which would have prevented a good bond with the new concrete.  I had to insist they clean it off before the pour.
Great Day used cheaper EPS foam insulation in floor instead of higher quality, denser XPS foam.
Poured concrete while raining despite bldg inspector?s comment ?rain predicted?; foreman?s response at the time was ?only need a 5
hour window?.  They missed their window in the middle of a drought. Afraid the surface will not hold up. Stopped concrete pour when rain started.  Had to wait so long, sent the mixer/truck home and later that day they had to go out and buy/hand mix 2-3 bags of concrete mix to finish the pour.
Even after cautioning their equipment operator not to drive heavy equipment over a buried water line, they did it anyway.  Dug it up to verify no damage done, buy why not avoid the hassle?
I did part of the demolition myself for fear they would damage my bifold door framing (interfaces sunroom with house).

Comments on sunroom construction:
At end of 2nd day (8/7), noted lots of vinyl and aluminum ?sawdust? on the ground in my back yard, which is where my 3 dogs go
to play.  Asked them what they would do about it and they said they would shop vac it up at the end of the project.  When it rained on the next two days, that was their excuse not to clean up the small debris, which sort of makes you think twice about walking barefoot in your back yard.  So far the dogs are okay?
Sunroom was built approximately ¾? wider (3/8? at each end) than it should have been, forcing GDI to install spacers and lots of caulk to correct their error.  It looks okay and so far, it seems to be holding up but over a minimum 10 year lifespan I have my doubts.
Leak appeared in roof at first rainstorm following completion.  GDI came out and fixed it in a timely manner ? again, using lots of caulk. 
Since onset of winter and snow, have noticed effects of poorly insulated ceiling and walls with poor thermal breaks:  ice dams in the sunroom gutter, and condensation on my new hardwood floor.  See attached photos.

GDI came out and installed insulation in the spaces between the windows this past spring (2013).  The guys doing the work admitted this should have been done during the initial install.

One year later...
I installed a woodburning stove in the corner of the sunroom in August of 2013.  The chimney exited through the eave of the room, not through the new enclosure roof, so if there were any leaks around it they would be my fault...I thought. (see photo)
Initially I did have some flashing leaks which I could see coming down the chimney from inside the room.  I also had some leaks appear in the new enclosure ceiling that were not there before, but I attributed them to the flashing leaks.  So I had a professional roofer from Dunrite Exteriors come out and redo the flashing and the leaks around the chimney stopped.  However, the leaks in the ceiling persisted.  I spent much of a day on the roof with a hose trying to get the ceiling leaks to appear by squirting water around the chimney, but could not.  Finally I took heed to something my wife said: "The new chimney changed the rain runoff pattern on the sunroom roof and something that didn't leak before has now reared its ugly head", or words to that effect.  Well, just below the chimney there's a splice in the sunroom flashing that goes up under the first (bottom) row of shingles.  There's a screw there holding the two pieces down to the sunroom roof, with plenty of caulk on it to prevent leakage.  But it looked to me like water could get to that screw under the flashing by entering from the side - so I removed it.  Lo and behold, there was a second, uncaulked hole next to the screw I'd removed, hidden by the flashing.  It looks like the installers put a screw there initially before the overlapping piece of flashing was installed, then realized they needed a screw to go through both pieces of overlapping flashing and removed the first screw without patching the hole!  So water was entering the overlap in the flashing, going into the second open hole, then finding its way down to the new ceiling of the sunroom.  I plan to caulk the extra hole tomorrow and expect it will solve the problem.  Just another example of GDI's poor workmanship.  See attached photos for details."

"Professional install done in a very timely manner and came out even better than expected. Price was good. Installer was knowledgeable and friendly. Can't really ask for more. Will 100% be using this company for all future home remodeling and repair."

"The original scope of work was expanded after we found that the downspout drain line was originally incorrectly installed. They returned to run a new line to the street. The workers were very helpful in making sure the work was done correctly."

"Matt and team at the Mold Men went above and beyond the call of duty to help us with mold remediation for a bank owned home that we purchased. The bank insisted on paying the Mold Men from funds held in escrow and would only do so after the work was done. The team did a wonderful job remediating the mold. They were timely and professional. They cleaned up perfectly after each day. The job was done right. The bank was delayed in paying the Mold Men and they handled the situation with an incredible amount of professionalism with an eye on customer service. I highly recommend them."
