Default Adding on space to existing home.

We have a small long-shaped patio along the back of our house. The patio is on a cement slab. We originally had a large tree behind the house which kept us from building out. The tree was removed four years and the ground has mostly settled. Now we have space to create a sunroom.

We are thinking to expand the enclosed lanai at the back of our house into the patio space, creating a larger sunroom with storm windows. The final size of the addition roughly
18' x 8'. We don't have a large back yard so this is as much addition as we can do.

1. Have you used or heard of a contractor/builder and had good results? Would you recommend them?

2. What things should we watch out for in picking a builder?

Many thanks for any help you can provide.
