Transformed Our Home – A Truly Exceptional Experience

We recently had our old aluminum sunroom replaced by Northern Tropic Homes with a stunning western red cedar-framed studio eave sunroom, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. After doing extensive research, we chose Northern Tropics because of their excellent warranty, exceptional quality, and outstanding craftsmanship—their pricing, while slightly higher than some local competitors, clearly reflects the value of the product and peace of mind they provide.

This is now a true four-season room, and the transformation is incredible. The western red cedar adds warmth and elegance, and the premium glass they use makes a noticeable difference in comfort and aesthetics.

The entire team was fantastic. Ryan, the lead carpenter, is exceptionally skilled and clearly takes great pride in his work. Sayer, the apprentice, impressed us with his strong work ethic and outstanding customer service—he has a bright future ahead. Daunte stepped in to assist throughout the project and was equally professional and capable. And Troy, the owner, was a pleasure to work with—he kept everything on time and on budget, and his communication was excellent throughout.

This is a family-run business, and it shows in the care and respect every team member brought to our home. Every Northern Tropics employee who came to our property was kind, respectful, and professional.

We wholeheartedly recommend Northern Tropics Homes to anyone looking for high-quality craftsmanship and a team that truly cares about their work. We’ll be recommending them to our family and friends without hesitation.

From first contact with Troy we had a very positive interaction. Follow up was quick with recommendations for our 25 year old sunroom that had a few issues. Technician Stephen and Brayden were very competent, and friendly. Completed the work to our satisfaction. Would certainly recommend this company.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We couldn’t be happier with the sunroom Northern Tropic Homes built for us. From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic. The finished space includes two large sets of bifold doors that completely open up to the outdoors — it’s created the perfect indoor-outdoor flow and has become our favorite spot in the house. It honestly feels like we’ve added an entirely new living space that connects us beautifully to our yard.

Troy was amazing to work with — incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible throughout the whole process. Our project was tied to a larger, ever-shifting construction timeline, and Troy was patient and accommodating at every step. He helped guide us from the early design phase all the way through to completion, always making sure we felt supported and informed.

Ryan and Sayer were the builders on our project, and they were both fantastic — hardworking, professional, and super friendly. It’s clear they take a lot of pride in their craft. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship shows in every part of the build.

If you’re looking for a reliable, talented team to bring your vision to life — especially for outdoor living or sunroom spaces — we would absolutely recommend Northern Tropic Homes. Thank you again to Troy, Ryan, and Sayer for helping create something so special for our home!

We were thoroughly impressed with Northern Tropic Homes from the very beginning. Troy created a design for us that was absolutely beautiful, and the finished result exceeded all of our expectations. The entire team’s friendliness and professionalism throughout the project made the experience even better, and their meticulous attention to detail was truly remarkable. A special thanks to the amazing crew—Steven, Braydon, Will, and Sayer—who brought our dream deck to life. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome and will definitely be working with Northern Tropic Homes again in the future!

I am extremely satisfied with Northern Tropic. A couple years back they built an extension for us which became my work from home space. The project was smooth, on budget and well communicated.

I have now signed up for another project and look forward to working with Troy and the team again!

Highly recommend!

Troy and his excellent team of Ryan, John and Sayer have done an amazing job when they removed and replaced my solarium! It was a very challenging job due to the location of my solarium windows on top of Moss Rock!! I would not hesitate to refer my friends to Troy Nelson of Northern Tropic Homes. Everyone was so respectful and polite. John and Ryan are very skilled and meticulous carpenters. I was impressed. Marielle D.

Northern Tropics built a patio cover for our backyard patio. The job was done in a timely manner and we were extremely satisfied both the quality of work and the product. Thanks John, Dante and Brendan and any others who worked on the project. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone.

We are very impressed with the professionalism and quality workmanship provided by Geoff & Sayer. They were both polite and considerate. Our new sunroom with retractable glass panels is awesome. Our favourite room in the house! Troy our project manager took care of all the details and kept us up to date as the project progressed. We appreciated their attention to detail in giving us a great finished product!
Thank you from E & C!

If you want excellence in every aspect of your project look no further than Northern Tropic Homes. Troy, the owner of the company, will ensure your confidence from beginning to the end. All of the crew are skilled, personable and a pleasure to have on your property. Among the entire impressive crew I must spotlight Logan who oozes confidence and skill and seeks excellence in all that he does. Ours was a very small job but the attention to everything was as though it was a major project. I highly recommend this company.

When we hired Northern Tropic to build a large sunroom, we did not know that our daughter would be getting married in our back yard soon after the room was supposed to be finished! Troy promised that it would be done in time for us to prepare the yard, and it was. This only happened because of the hard work of John, Brandon, Aaron, Jeff, and Dante, who often worked past quitting time to finish. In spite of the tight timeline, the quality of the work was never compromised. It is a beautiful addition to our house that absolutely exceeds our expectations. Everything from the large glass panels to the smallest light are of the highest quality, so it is also very functional. In addition, we were charged exactly the quoted price and no more, and all of our questions and concerns were dealt with promptly and pleasantly. We highly recommend Northern Tropic.

Northern Tropic just completed a sunroom off the back of our home. The space exceeds all of our expectations for quality and workmanship, it's just beautiful! Thanks to Troy, Jeff, Liam, Brandon, and everyone else who worked on it - the whole team was kind, considerate, and clearly takes pride in what they do. We really appreciated the fixed price contract, it meant that even though there were some unexpected costs, like a metal roof, they weren't passed on to us and there were no surprises. We'll be enjoying this room for years to come and highly recommend Northern Tropic.

The project added incredible value to our home. A very enjoyable living space. The construction was a little drawn out due to some mis-ordering but the John and his crew did a phenomenal job

Northern Tropic just built our second patio over. We were so impressed with the first one that we decided to build a second over the patio table. Thanks so much to John, Daunte and Steven for the first class work.

Attractive, sturdily built screen room with reflective glass roof. Great staff: Jeff, Liam, Brandon and Sam. Each one highly skilled in their area of work. Great attention to detail. Also, the company used quality materials which will stand the test of time. Happy with the result.

My experience dealing with Northern Tropic Homes was anxiety free ; from the General Manager , Troy Nelson and his prompt response and kind professionalism to the technicians ; John, Jeff , Liam and their high quality work and polite demeanor/professionalism .
I would feel confident in recommending Northern Tropic Homes to anyone you care about and respect as I did for my dear friends.

We are very pleased with the work and professionalism. The owner Troy has put together an excellent team: Liam, Theo, Connor and the rest (my apologies forgetting the other names). The minor issue is that the company that provided the sliding doors did not meet the same high standards. The deficiencies were corrected by Troy’s team. Highly recommended.

Northern Tropic is a great company to do business. I found them responsive and fair and did what they said they were going to do. I would and will do business with them again.

Good quality, detail works. Nice staff, very responsible. We decided build sunroom on backyard deck. The project completed in winter, they still keep high level quality. They solved the irregular shape problem for me, made new stairs, and finished insulation to keep warm in winter. We can enjoy the sunny summer even better.

We cannot say enough about the gorgeous job Zsolt and Steven did putting the roof on our pergola and giving us another room on our house. They kept the area exceptionally clean and answered any questions we had during installation. Troy created a flawless design and was a pleasure to work with. We would recommend Four Seasons in a heartbeat. Well Done everyone.

Northern Tropics is amazing. We are thrilled with our sunroom. Everything is perfect! There is an extremely high quality of craftsmanship in all the work that they did. Troy did an amazing job of envisioning and designing the project.The carpentry team of Zsolt (foreman), Mathew, Ben, Alex, & John were professional & paid attention to every detail. Larry the drywaller worked tirelessly to complete the project quickly. He is a perfectionist and this shows in the high quality of his work. The Condor Electric team of Connor & Byron were professional, efficient and responsive to our needs. We highly recommend Northern Tropics.

I have had this company work on two projects at my house. They were extremely professional and friendly. As an architect, I have worked with many contractors in my job and these folks are at the top. Especially, John, who was the project foreman. He was always thinking ahead and problem solving when necessary. I would recommend them without hesitation.

The staff at Northern Tropics is very professional, and we found them to be very knowledgeable and really helped us make the right decision. Price was competitive and the finished product was completed just under the time we were originally told, and it was just what we wanted! Thanks Troy and crew for being professional and friendly all at the same time!

In late February 2016, after many frustrating years dealing with water leaks in our 26 year old sunroom, we decided to replace it. Northern Tropic Sunrooms was chosen from the list of quotes received. Manager Troy Nelson outlined the scope of work required and provided a detailed written estimate in a timely fashion to complete the work. The sunroom was constructed in Western Red Cedar in early July. The workmen were prompt, courteous and patient to field our queries during construction. John, the lead carpenter, amazed us with his attention to detail and workmanship. A true craftsman as had been pointed out to us from the onset. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. The length of the project was in part due to the arrival of Conserva Glass Plus, a Four Season's product designed to reflect heat in the hot summer and retain warmth during the colder months. We were somewhat skeptical about this claim but have found it does work. During construction the property was kept clean and returned to it's original condition upon completion. We have no hesitation in recommending Troy and his team to anyone considering a similar upgrade.
Barrie & Lynn Kidd.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
