Services in Corona, CA
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
A lot of Corona backyards already have a concrete patio off the back door, and that's where most of our calls here start. We plan the walls, roof and glass around how you'll use the room, then tie it into the house so it looks like it was always meant to be there.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Some Corona houses have a wood deck a step or two down from the back door that the owners want to close in. We check the posts, beams and footings, the concrete the posts stand on, first, because a deck built for chairs and a grill isn't always built to hold walls, glass and a roof.
Custom sunrooms
When the back of the house has a low eave, an odd roofline or a window that has to stay, a stock kit rarely fits. A custom sunroom lets us size the room, the roof pitch and the openings to your house instead of the other way around.
Screen room installation
Some homeowners want to use the backyard without the bugs and don't need glass or heating. We build screen rooms on an existing patio or a new slab, and we anchor the frame with the same care as a full sunroom.
Patio cover installation
We see plenty of older patio covers here that sag or were never fastened well at the wall. We replace them with a cover that's attached to the house properly, and we can plan it so walls go in later if you decide to close it in.
Sunroom remodeling
We also get calls about sunrooms someone else built years ago that now leak at the roof joint or just don't get used. We find where the water is getting in before we change anything, then update the glass, roof panels or floor as the room needs.
Corona, CA properties and local conditions
Most of the Corona calls we get are for closing in what's already out back, usually a concrete patio off the sliding door. A patio slab is poured to hold furniture and foot traffic and to shed water away from the house, which isn't the same job as holding up walls, glass and a roof. So before I draw anything, I look at the slab's edges, any cracks or settling, and how water runs where the new walls will sit. Having come to this trade later than most, I'd rather check a slab than trust it, and if it can't carry the room, we tell you and plan the footings it needs.
Some Corona properties also fall under the city's construction requirements for fire hazard severity zones. If yours is one of them, it can affect what we build with, so we confirm it with the city before we choose and price materials.
What we sort out with the city before building in Corona
When your room needs a permit, it goes through the City of Corona's Planning & Development department, which handles building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits, and whether your job needs one is the city's call. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday and closed Fridays, so the paperwork moves on a four-day week, and that usually sets the pace more than the build itself does. Before you hire anyone, ask for their state contractor license from the Contractors State License Board and their Corona business license. We're fully licensed and insured, and when a permit is needed, we prepare and file the paperwork and meet the inspector on site.
The price of a Corona sunroom mostly follows its size, whether the walls are glass or screen, and whether what it sits on can carry it as is, and the schedule mostly follows the permit and inspections. The written estimate I send after the visit spells both out for your house. We do the same work in Fontana and Jurupa Valley, but each city has its own permit office, so we always check which one covers your address.
Get a written estimate for your Corona sunroom
We reply within one business day to set up a visit to your Corona home. I come out, measure, look over your patio or deck and talk through how you'll use the room, then send you a written estimate that's free and comes with no obligation.
(951) 394-2905What happens after you call us about a Corona sunroom
Call or send a request
You call (951) 394-2905 or fill out the form, and we set a time for me to come to your Corona house. It helps to tell us whether you're closing in a patio, a deck or adding a new room, so I know what to look at.
I measure and look it over
I measure, check the slab or deck and the wall the room will attach to, and ask how you plan to use the room. Then I send a written estimate, so you can see what's driving the cost before you decide anything.
We handle the permit paperwork
When your room needs a permit, we file it with the city and book the inspections, which Corona schedules online for Monday through Thursday. A Friday inspection is only for an unusual situation or hardship and has to be requested by phone by 5 p.m. Wednesday, so we plan the build around those days.
We build and walk through
Our installers and I build the room, and licensed trades handle any electrical or heating and cooling work it needs. At the end we walk through it with you, doors, glass, roof and the joint at the house, so you know what to keep an eye on.
Frequently asked questions
Which office handles building permits for a sunroom in Corona, CA?
Corona's Planning & Development department handles building permits, and its permit line is 951-736-2250. The city's permits page is the place to start if you want to look into it yourself. When we take on your room, we find out what it needs and file the paperwork for you.
Can a sunroom contractor based outside Corona work on my house there?
Yes, as long as the contractor holds a City of Corona business license, which the city requires of every business working in Corona, including ones whose main address is somewhere else. Licenses renew every year on the anniversary of when they were issued, so it's fair to ask whether a contractor's is current. We're based in Riverside, so that rule applies to us too.
How do I know if my sunroom contractor needs a California license?
A contractor needs a California license for any job that needs a building permit, uses any hired workers, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a sunroom clears that line on cost alone. The small-job exemption went from $500 to $1,000, but it only covers work with no permit and no hired workers, so it doesn't fit a room built onto your house.
What building code does Corona use for a new sunroom?
Corona builds to the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code, which the City Council adopted by ordinance in November 2025. That's the code the city's inspector works from, so it's what we plan your room to from the first drawing.
How much does a sunroom cost in Corona, CA?
A sunroom's price in Corona comes mostly from its size, glass or screen walls, and whether the patio or deck you have can carry it as is. New footings, a roof that has to fit under a second-floor window, and electrical or heating and cooling work all add to it, while a sound existing slab keeps it down. If a slab is borderline, I'd rather pour new footings than build on hope, and the written estimate shows what each choice does to the number.
What causes a patio enclosure to leak where it meets the house?
Most leaks at that joint come from a room fastened to the wall without proper flashing, the metal or membrane that sheds water over the seam, or from a floor that slopes toward the house instead of away. We flash the roof into the house and check how the slab drains before the first wall goes up, because that's the part you can't easily fix once the room is finished.
About Corona, CA
Corona runs from older streets near the middle of town out to newer neighborhoods, and the backyards we see change with them. Older single-story houses often have a low eave and a slab that's been out back for decades, while newer two-story homes put the room under a second-floor window, which limits how tall the roof can be where it meets the wall.
As a sunroom contractor in Riverside, CA, we see the same mix in Eastvale and back home in Riverside. In Corona, though, it's usually the roofline and the slab you already have that decide the shape of the room.
