The installation, once it began, was done extremely well by an experienced and very careful contractor. The process of getting a permit for building was painful. Universal Energy was not familiar with our neighborhood zoning. We thought there would be no concerns because we were replacing a deck with a smaller structure, but Rockville requires more room from an enclosed room to the rear line of the property than from a deck. We waited 4 months for the variance hearing and final permit approval, then ran into rain delaying the project. The sun room is now in place, but in winter, and cold, so we haven't yet enjoyed the experience.

Before receiving stage 1 bank funding there was adequate communication. However, after they got our money that stopped. When there was a problem they would say and promise just about anything to pacify us, then do nothing. They did not return calls regarding incorrect CAD drawings, incorrect measurements for a doggie door or answer our questions about effects on our french drain. After 5 months of waiting for answers, action & corrected CAD drawings we tried to cancel the room. We were lied to and told we could not cancel because the room had been ordered. When I asked how that was possible when we were still waiting on the corrected CAD drawings to sign the story changed. Their "procedure" frequently changes when they are questioned about it. We only got answers to the previous questions in response to a letter sent by us to the Better Business Bureau. We are currently working with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission to get our money back, but they are very slow.
