Family-Owned Purpose Driven Restoration & Remodeling is an A+ Accredited Business by the Better Business Bureau. Purpose Driven Restoration & Remodeling will stand by you after the storm and throughout the restoration and remodeling journey.
"Working with PDR has been nothing short of harrowing. For the better part of a year we have had to be our own project manager for our kitchen and living room remodel. Our actual assigned project manager, Cole Vagovich, did 3 site visits for the duration of the project despite several quality issues that came up. The electrical work done in August 2022 was underpowered so in October 2022, they had to return and rewire by cutting into my finished basement ceiling. The repairs have been unfinished going on 6 months. And my lights still flicker. We also had to have the backsplash PDR installed torn out and redone due to several quality issues. Cole Vagovich told me that we were legally obligated to have the tile installer return to try and fix his work. We consulted two attorneys that confirmed this was NOT a law and we are not legally obligated to have the same installer return to fix the tile. In the end, PDR gave us a $3500 credit to have it torn out and reinstalled by another company. It turned out beautifully. However, the demo crew removed the frame around the window so they could tile there, and discovered the inside frame was just resting, unsecured in the opening. This just scratches the surface of the issues we faced with PDR."

"Stay far away from this company. Original project went fine although it was expensive. However the past few months have shown me their true colors as I have tried to get some of the original work fixed. Be aware that they only warranty work for 12 months. We had the only four tiles on the step into our shower crack over the first year and I tried for months to contact them through email. No response. I finally left my name as a new customer, and they immediately called me (funny :)). They then asked for pictures and said they could fix it. I then discovered it would cost $600 to replace the four tiles they obviously installed incorrectly the first time. Correctly installed tiles would not all crack on the outer edge."

A solarium represents a specialized sunroom variant constructed almost entirely from glass, including ceiling elements in most designs, to maximize daylight penetration. While every solarium qualifies as a sunroom, standard sunrooms feature conventional roofing and partial glass walls. True solariums require specialized engineering and materials, starting around $30,000 compared to basic sunrooms that begin around $6,000, but they deliver unmatched brightness and visual openness.
Construction timelines for average sunroom projects range from two to four weeks, while more elaborate or custom solarium installations may extend up to six months. Factors influencing completion include design complexity, permit processing, weather conditions, and material availability. Factory-built systems install more quickly than custom designs, but comprehensive projects require thorough planning, proper permitting, and sequential construction phases from foundation to finishing.
High-performance insulated glass with low-emissivity coatings provides optimal thermal management for most installations. Safety requirements mandate tempered or laminated construction for all panels. Southern exposures benefit from solar-control technologies that minimize heat accumulation, while northern installations prioritize thermal retention properties. Quality glazing represents a substantial portion of your overall investment, making it essential to balance performance specifications with budget considerations.
Most jurisdictions classify solariums as permanent structural additions requiring standard building permits ranging from $250 to $1,500. Projects incorporating electrical systems, climate control, or plumbing require additional specialized permits. Many municipalities also mandate architectural review, particularly in historically designated districts or planned communities. Proceeding without proper authorization risks significant financial penalties and potential mandatory removal, making proper permitting an essential investment.
