Four Seasons Sunrooms

Working with Tom at Four Seasons was a pleasant experience. We did get other quotations but none compared with the product quality and design for the quoted price. Tom knows his product so you can confidently rely on his recommendations and quotation to be accurate and complete. The installers are experienced and professional; the job was completed within the expected time frame.This project was just recently completed, but all indications are that it is a quality product and will perform as expected. We are pleased with the result and feel we chose the best company for this job.

Advanced Builders added two sun rooms to the rear (west side ) of our house in spring of 1996. One room is a 9 x 13 metal frame room that used as a green room for starting & caring for various plants & flowers. The second room is a 15 x 22 wood framedroom that is used for dining, reading & entertaining. Both rooms are built well & are heated & air conditioned for year round use. There have been occasional problems with the rooms but Tom Leininger of Advanced Builders has worked hard to solve & correct them.Tom has always done his best to resolve any concern we may have.We have enjoyed the use of the rooms for 20 years.We are pleased that we chose Advanced Builders to build the rooms.

One of the worst companies i have ever dealt with, All empty promises and broken timelines, took about a year to get the project done, they had to send out crew to fix what the last crew did wrong. Terrible experience. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else

Paid around $30,000 for a complete sunroom and it took over 5 months to complete during Covid. We were understanding about delays with material but now that the room is completely up the cement is cracking up after 4 months & the roof is leaking in 2 spots. Very disappointed with the build. Been texting Tom about it for months now to have the roof repaired or sealed where it leaks in. Try another company for a sunroom unless you have time to deal with issues like this….

Had them come out for a free estimate. I had another contractor working on our home while the “designer” was there. The contractor overheard our conversation and made a comment on how he didn’t let me finish my thoughts when speaking with him. I felt the same exact way. Once he showed me the quote and I said it was higher then expected he was gone within 2 minutes. He was supposed to email me a copy of the quote and he never did. Quote was at $41,000 my budget was at $35,000 he didn’t offer ways to cut down on the pricing to better fit my budget. Do not waste your time with this company unless you like to be talked over and disrespected.

We chose Tom, of Advanced Builders, over the competition because he was honest, straight-forward, and accommodating. His crew and specialists were very knowledgeable, thorough, and approachable. They truly cared about the final product being exactly what we needed and wanted.

Almost 6 months after it was done I had a leak and Tom came right out and fixed it. I think he did a nice job. My only complaint is the deck makes popping noises in the winter. We are thinking of redoing it in cedar instead of this expensive fake wood. We got rid of the plastic popping noises finally. We replaced the entire deck with cedar and love it now. I would consider buying another sun room with Four Seasons, but not decking.

We have really enjoyed our sunroom. It is great to sit in the room and enjoy the view and the sun and breeze without the bugs. Even been in the sunroom during storms and the strong construction withstands the wind and rain very well and you feel very secure. During construction, Tom was out on almost a daily basis checking on things and ensuring we were happy and things were done right. I would recommend Tom and Advanced Builders .

Extremely dissappointed and would not recommend. We chose to use Advanced Builders to put a LifeRoom on our home in the beautiful lakefront of St Clair Shores after seeing various ads about this new style of “indoor outdoor” entertaining space. We really fell in love with the privacy that the electronic screens seemed to offer and protection from the sometimes high winds. However, we should have done more research on this “building company” before signing on the dotted line. We made the decision to purchase this 22K+ glorified screened in patio because let’s face it, it sounded awesome, but boy were we mistaken. Not only did the salesman (who we haven’t seen since the day he sold us this unit and collection 15K in deposits)... promise it would be ordered and installed in 6 weeks; keep in mind we ordered in May of this year but the unit itself wasn’t even installed till mid August, red flag number 1. Then, it took at least a total of 4 weeks for them to install the unit in “full”...Even though they said the install should only take 3-4 days to put up; red flag #2. Immediately after install we were not satisfied with the overall quality of craftsmanship that the unit had. Chalk job was awful and not even complete, seams were joined together by painted pieces (not even color matched) of sheet metal with proud large bolts sticking out of the frame and the accent trim work was bent all over. We called their office to ask if the guys were coming back (after not seeing on the job site for a few more days) and we were informed the job was complete. We explained the visual concerns and a contractor came out to “fix” it, which visually ended up looking like a awful bandaid; red flag #3. Quickly after this, we got some rain and the unit started to leaked all over our new sectional and dining table set, that was purchased specifically for this entertaining space. We called Tom (the owners) office and they said they would send someone out after it stopped raining; even though I’d think you’d want to send someone out to see (while it’s raining) where it’s leaking, but that’s just my business mindset, obviously not theirs. They did send a contractor out to add more awful sloppy chalk to the roof of the unit and said it was fixed. This story continues, so brace yourself. The unit has programmable screens... four in total to be exact. Three which are fully programmed and a fourth which they couldn’t figure out how to get in the same program as the other three. Said they’d fix it and never did. Well, one of the screens went past the “fail proof” stop and ended up getting sucked up into the mechanism/ motor. The same chalk contractor came out and used a pry bar on aluminum to get to the motor to grab the screen!!! Ugh...Enough said... but at least he fixed it. But.... soon after that, it rained again!!!! Guess what!!!! The roof leaked. We called Toms office again and the secretary said Tom was busy and was very quick the mention “oh by the way... you have a balance (a few thousand dollars) that needs to be paid” on the unit. We informed her that we would be happy to pay as soon as the leaks are fixed. Needless to say, they continued to avoid us and never came back out to fix the leaks; which in total were three separate leaks, at that time. Well, we all know how Metro Detroit’s fall has been like this year and guess what, it’s raining again...but now there is 7 total leak points. 7!!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE!!! Buyer beware!!! We continue to place calls to this company with zero actual actions or intent to fix the problems that we have with the unit, so that we actually feel satisfied and just pay them their small balance. However, I think I can speak for every consumer, I will never pay for a product or service in full that refuses to fix and correct their errors. This company is just so sad! Save your money, folks! Let’s see if this review gets deleted or at least a comment back from Tom, since I see he seems to ‘Thank’ people who are posting great reviews about services and additions done over 20 years ago...

It's been a few years since Tom's team came out to build a replacement sunroom for me. I had been away from the house a couple of days, to tend to family business, and I came home to find a shattered glass window on the roof of my sunroom. Tom had his men out within an hour from my call! The guys got right to work and the completed the job promptly. They were professional, conscientious, and very pleasant. I would highly recommend Advanced Builders, and Tom's crew. They are clearly good people, and they care about their product even after you've paid for the original work.
