Sunroom and patio room ideas
Sunroom contractor services in Riverside CA - what we build
Sunward Riverside Sunrooms & Patios is a sunroom contractor in Riverside, and most of our calls are about closing in a patio or deck you already have or adding a room off the back of the house. Across our 16 services, the price mostly turns on the size of the room, whether it's a screen, three season or four season room, the glass and frame you pick, and how much work your slab, deck or patio cover needs first. The schedule turns on whether the job needs a permit with plan review and whether the room needs electrical or heating and cooling work. Your free on-site estimate puts all of it in writing for your house.
Sunroom additions
A sunroom addition is a new room built off the back of your house on its own foundation. It's for homeowners who want more living space that opens onto the yard.
Four season sunrooms
Want a room you'll sit in every month of the year? We build four season sunrooms with insulated walls and glass, and we bring in licensed trades when the room ties into heating and cooling.
Three season sunrooms
We build three season rooms on a lighter frame with glass or vinyl windows and without full insulation. They suit a bright room for relaxing when you don't need a fully conditioned space.
Patio enclosures
If you have a slab and a cover already, a patio enclosure closes in the sides with windows, screens or panels. It keeps dust, leaves and bugs out of a space you already use.
Custom sunrooms
We design and build custom sunrooms to your house's rooflines and measurements instead of fitting a stock kit. They're for homes where a standard size or shape just won't sit right.
Sunroom construction
Sunroom construction is the whole build, from the slab or footing work through framing, glass, roof and trim. Our installers do the building, and we bring in licensed trades for electrical work.
Sunroom remodeling
Is your older sunroom leaking where it meets the house or just showing its age? We remodel tired rooms with new glass, roof panels, flooring or insulation so you'll want to use them again.
Screen room installation
A screen room is a frame with screen panels over your patio or deck, so you get the fresh air without the bugs. It's a good fit when you want an outdoor feel more than a closed room.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Have a patio slab you'd like to turn into a real room? We check the slab first, then build walls, glass and a roof on it, or tell you plainly if it needs new footings to carry the room.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
We turn an existing deck into a sunroom after checking that its posts, beams and footings can carry walls and a roof. Where they can't, we shore them up before the room goes on.
All season rooms
An all season room is a fully enclosed room finished like the inside of your house, with flooring, outlets and walls you'd hang pictures on. People use them as a home office, playroom or den.
Enclosed patio rooms
Looking to make your covered patio feel like part of the house without a full addition? An enclosed patio room adds insulated walls, windows and a door under the cover you have.
Solarium installation
A solarium has glass walls and a glass roof, for homeowners who want the most light and the widest view of the sky. We talk through shading and glass choices with you before you commit to one.
Patio cover installation
We build solid or lattice patio covers, attached to the house or freestanding, to shade a patio or slab you already use. A cover can also be the first step toward closing the space in later.
Sunroom design
Sunroom design is where we settle the size, roof style, windows, doors and how the room meets the house before anything is built. It's the step that decides how the room will work for you.
Vinyl sunrooms
Vinyl sunrooms use vinyl frames that don't need painting, so upkeep stays low. They suit homeowners who want a bright, comfortable room on a moderate budget.
How it works, from call to walkthrough
You call or send a request
Call (951) 394-2905 or fill out the form with a few lines about your patio, deck or the room you have in mind. We reply within one business day to set up a time for me to come out to your house. The estimate is free and there's no obligation.
I measure, look it over and write it up
I come out, measure and look over what's there now, whether that's a slab, a deck or a patio cover, before I price anything. We talk through how you'll actually use the room. Then I send you a written estimate you can read over at your own pace.
We handle permits, build and walk through
Once you're ready, we take care of the permit paperwork when the job needs it and meet the inspector on site. Our installers and I build the room, with licensed trades for any electrical or heating and cooling work. At the end, we walk through the room with you.
Why homeowners hire us, and what we check first
Want us to look over your patio or deck? Request a free estimate and we'll set up a visit.
The person who measures is on site for the build
I'm the one who measures your patio, and I'm on site while your sunroom goes up, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the build. I came to this trade later than most, and I'd rather keep a close eye on things than hope a note got passed along.
Your slab, deck or cover checked before we quote
We look over the slab, deck or patio cover you already have before we put a number on paper, because what a room sits on decides what the job really needs. A room that looks good the day we leave but leaks a year later isn't the kind of work I want to do.
Hard-to-change choices settled before work starts
Before any work starts, I walk you through the choices that are hard to change later, like the size, the roof, the doors and where the room meets the house. One choice at a time, so the room fits how you'll actually use it.
An estimate and contract you can read before you sign
Your estimate and contract spell out the work and who handles the permits, in plain words. When a permit is needed, we'll tell you what we already know and what's still up to the city or county.
Sunroom questions we hear in Riverside
How much does a sunroom cost in Riverside?
The cost depends mostly on the size of the room, whether it's a screen, three season or four season room, and the glass and frame you choose. What you have now matters too, because a slab or deck that needs work adds to the job. Your free on-site estimate gives you a written figure for your house.
Is it cheaper to enclose my patio than to build a new sunroom addition?
Usually, yes, if your slab and patio cover are in good shape, because we can build on what's there instead of starting a new foundation. If the slab is cracked or out of level, the savings shrink, which is why I look it over before I quote.
How long does it take to build a sunroom in Riverside?
It depends mostly on whether your room needs a permit with plan review, how big it is, and whether it needs electrical or heating and cooling work. Most jobs that need plans go through the city's planning clearance and plan check before we can start, while some simple patio covers can get a permit the same day. Your estimate lays out the steps for your job.
Are you licensed and insured to build sunrooms in Riverside?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured, and we bring in licensed trades for electrical or heating and cooling work when a room needs it. The City of Riverside also requires a City Business License for businesses working in the city, and its Business License Division can answer questions about it.
Who pulls the permit for a sunroom in Riverside?
We do, when your job needs one. We find out which office covers your address, prepare and file the paperwork, and meet the inspector on site. The city lets a permit go to the property owner, the owner's authorized agent or a licensed contractor, and we'll put in writing who's handling it.
Do you guarantee your sunroom work?
Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Product warranties on glass, frames and panels come from their makers, not from us, so ask to see those terms when you compare options.
What's the difference between a three season and a four season sunroom?
A four season room is insulated, with insulated glass, and can be heated and cooled, while a three season room is built lighter and isn't meant to be conditioned. If you want an office or den you'll use every day, I'd pick four season, and if you want a bright place to relax for less, three season usually makes sense.
Do I need a permit to build a sunroom in Riverside, CA?
Most likely, because the City of Riverside requires building permits for most construction, including building or altering a structure and the electrical work that often goes with a sunroom. You can read the details on the city's building permits page. A residential permit becomes invalid if work doesn't start within 12 months after it's issued, so we plan the build date with that in mind.
Riverside is home base
Riverside is where we're based, and it's a city most of our customers know by its open spaces. Mount Rubidoux sits just west of downtown, with paved roads and dirt trails for walkers, joggers and cyclists and no cars allowed, and Fairmount Park runs along the Santa Ana River with its lakefront and gathering spaces.
Out in the Arlington Heights and Lake Matthews area, California Citrus State Historic Park keeps citrus groves and historic buildings open for visitors and guided tours. Back at the house, we see a lot of covered patios that have been around for years and decks people want to get more use out of, and we do the same work in the cities around Riverside.
