This sunroom has had it and has to be removed. Is it hard to do with a piece by piece method? I don't see any exposed screws.

Depends what type of sunroom you have. If you take a few pictures, then upload them to a file sharing website like photobucket, you can link to your pictures and then we might be able to see what it looks like and give you some ideas. A few from far away, a few close up pictures of the aluminum.

I can't get pictures now unfortunately. The frame pieces are flat brown aluminum. The roof pieces (glass in frames) have a slight pitch away from the house. It looks like alot of cheap sunrooms I've seen around that got put up quick when they first became popular.

jcarpe7266,

Without pictures it's hard saying, but the sunrooms that I've dealt with have snap covers on the roof -- no exposed fasteners. To get to the fasteners, you simply remove the center 'snap-cap'. That exposes the a row of screws down the center of the cover. Once those screws are removed, the outer cover is free. Remove that and you can pull up the roof panels and/or glass panels.
