Four season sunrooms in Eastvale CA - a glass room you can sit in all year

Most calls I get start with a back patio that's nice in spring and too hot to sit on by July, and the first thing I ask is whether you want the new room kept behind your existing back door and windows or opened right into the house like a sunroom addition, since that choice changes the rules it has to meet. Price moves with the size, what the room sits on, the glass each wall needs and how you heat and cool it, while the schedule mostly turns on the base work and any permit review your room needs. The estimate at your house is where we work out your own figure, once I've seen the spot.

A room you use all year has to hold up against the sun coming through all that glass, so before we pick glass or shading I look at which way the room faces. Stopping sunlight before it reaches the glass works best, but east and west walls catch low sun that slips under most outside shades, so those walls get the most attention from us. Then we settle the base and the layout, and our installers set the footings or added support, frame the walls and roof, install the glass and doors, add the heating and cooling, and clean up as they go.

If you mostly want shade and bug-free evenings and don't need heat or air, a three season sunroom usually costs less and may suit you better, and I'll tell you so. If you already have a solid patio cover you like, our patio enclosures put walls under what's there.

In Eastvale, the city's Building Safety team issues permits for building projects and inspects residential work, so that's the office for any permit your room needs. When a job needs one, we put the paperwork together, submit it and meet the inspector for the visits. If your house sits in a Planned Residential Development, that development's own standards set your setbacks, how far you have to stay back from the property lines, along with lot size and width, so I'd ask the city's Planning Department what applies to your lot before we draw anything.

The state's energy standards for things like window and door materials depend on the climate zone a house sits in, and for a room that's mostly glass, Eastvale's zone has a lot to say about which glass and doors qualify, so we check that before anything gets ordered. We're based in Eastvale and work in the cities around it in both Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and we see the same sunny backyards and newer homes on jobs in Ontario and Chino.
