Patio-to-sunroom conversion
When your Redlands backyard already has a slab and a patio cover, closing that in is usually the shortest path to a new room. We check the slab and the cover first, then build walls and glass on whatever is sound.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
A deck off the back of a Redlands house can make a good floor for a sunroom if what's under it is sound. We look at the posts and footings, add support where it's short, and tie the new roof into the house.
All season rooms
If you want a room you can use any month of the year, not just on nice evenings, an all season room with insulated walls and glass is the one to ask about. We bring in licensed trades for the electrical and the heating and cooling so it works like the rest of the house.
Screen room installation
Some Redlands homeowners just want the patio back without the bugs, and a screen room does that for less than a glassed-in room. We set screen walls on your existing slab and seal the base so nothing crawls in under the frame.
Patio cover installation
A bare slab with no shade is where a lot of rooms start, and a patio cover makes a good first step if you might close it in later. We set the posts and beams so the cover can carry walls down the road instead of being torn out.
Sunroom additions
When there's no patio or deck behind your Redlands house to build on, the room starts with a new foundation tied to the house. We plan the floor height and the joint with your wall first, because that's where water finds its way in if it's done carelessly.
Redlands, CA properties and local conditions
In Redlands, like the rest of the cities we work in, a sunroom usually starts with something the house already has, a patio slab, an old cover or a deck. Whatever was built for a table and chairs wasn't necessarily built to carry walls, glass and a roof, so I check what the room will sit on before we talk about windows, and if it needs new footings or extra framing, you hear about it at the estimate instead of after the walls go up.
The other place I look hard is where the new roof meets your house wall. Flashing, the metal that sheds water off that joint, is easy to get wrong and hard to see once the room is finished, and after years as a maintenance supervisor fixing other people's leaks, I'd rather get it right the first time.
What a sunroom job in Redlands involves on our end
Redlands keeps its own city code, and building work inside the city follows the 2025 California Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2, as the city adopted it, with parts of the state text changed by the city. That means I read the city's version against your plan before we settle the design, which can add a step at the start, and I'd rather find a question at your kitchen table than halfway through framing. We're fully licensed and insured. The price moves most with the size of the room, what it sits on and how you'll use it, and the schedule turns on what we find under the floor and any paperwork the job needs, so your written estimate is where you'll see your own numbers.
We come out to Redlands from our base in Riverside, and the same crew works close by in San Bernardino and out on the other side of Riverside in Eastvale. Because Redlands has its own changes on top of the state code, I don't assume a detail that passed in one of those cities will be read the same way here, and I ask before we build it.

(951) 394-2905How a Redlands sunroom job goes after you call
Call or send a request
You call (951) 394-2905 or fill out the form, and we set up a time for me to come out to your house in Redlands. We'll ask a few questions about the space so I show up knowing what you've got.
I measure and look around
I measure the space, look over the patio, deck or wall we'd build on, and talk through how you'll use the room, so it helps if you're home. Afterward I send you a written estimate, so you can read it over without me standing in your driveway.
We handle paperwork and build
When your job needs a permit, we find out which office covers your address, prepare and file the paperwork, and meet the inspector on site. Our installers build the room with me, and we bring in licensed trades if it needs electrical or heating and cooling work.
Walk through the finished room
At the end we walk through the room together so you can check the doors, the windows and the joint where it meets the house. If something isn't right, tell me then, because the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
How do I look up the building code Redlands uses for a sunroom?
You can ask the City Clerk's office, which keeps a copy of the adopted building code on file. The city's building code section is also posted in an online code library, and we read the parts that touch your room before we finish the plan.
Does the Redlands city code say anything about sunroom roofs?
The city code has a section headed Minimum Roof Covering Classifications, and since a sunroom has a roof, it's one of the things I check. I've only seen the heading, not what it asks for, so I ask the city what it means for your room before we choose the roof panels.
How much does a sunroom cost in Redlands?
The cost of a sunroom in Redlands comes down mostly to its size, what it sits on and how you plan to use it. A room built on a sound slab or deck you already have usually costs less than one that needs a new foundation, screen walls cost less than glass, and insulated walls or electrical and heating work add to it. Your written estimate after the visit gives you the figure for your house.
Can you put a sunroom under my existing patio cover in Redlands?
Sometimes, if the cover's posts and beams can take the weight of walls and its roof sheds water away from the house. If it can't, we usually take it down and build a roof that's part of the room, and I'll show you why at the visit.
Do you build sunrooms in Redlands if you're based in Riverside?
Yes, Redlands is one of the cities we work in from our base in Riverside. We work in many of the cities around it in Riverside County and San Bernardino County, so if you don't see your city on our site, ask us.
How long does it take to get a sunroom built in Redlands?
There's no honest number before the visit, because the schedule turns mostly on the design you choose, what we find under the floor and any paperwork the city calls for on your job. Once you've approved the estimate, I'll walk you through the order of the work so you know what happens when.
About Redlands, CA
On our jobs in Redlands, the work almost always happens in the backyard, off a kitchen or family room where the house already opens onto a patio or deck. Homeowners here usually know how they want to use the room, a place for morning coffee or somewhere the kids can play out of the bugs, and the planning goes better when we start there instead of with a catalog. It's much the same kind of backyard we see next door in Highland.
What the room sits on and how it meets the house decide most of the job, so that's where my first hour on site goes.
