Request an estimateHome Gardens: older houses, slab patios out back
Home Gardens is mostly settled neighborhoods of single-family homes, a lot of them single-story, with backyards that have seen a few owners' worth of projects. When I walk a yard here I usually find a concrete patio slab, sometimes an older aluminum or wood cover over it, and a homeowner who wants that space to be usable in July and in January. It's the same kind of call we get in Bloomington and Jurupa Valley, and the first question is always what's already out there and whether it's worth building on.
That's what shapes the job here. An older slab may not be level or thick enough to carry walls, and an older house can have a low eave or an odd roofline that limits how a new roof ties in, so we check both before anyone talks about glass or finishes.
Working in Home Gardens: the county is your building office
Home Gardens is unincorporated, which means it sits outside any city, so your building permit comes from the County of Riverside's Building and Safety department instead of a city hall. The county sets up patio cover permits by appointment only, so that appointment and any changes the county asks for usually set the start date more than our crew's calendar does. The county has no business license program, so the thing to check on any contractor is their California contractor license, and you can also ask whether they've done the county's stormwater registration, which businesses working in unincorporated areas are required to have. When your job needs a permit, we put the paperwork together, submit it to the county and meet the inspector for each visit.
Most of the price comes from what's already behind your house: the size of the room, screens versus glass with an insulated roof, whether the slab and old cover can stay, and whether you want power and lights out there. The schedule turns on the permit, the materials order and the inspections, and you'll get your own figure and a sensible order of work once I've seen the yard. We're on this side of the county a lot, in Riverside and over in Corona, so we know the questions that come up when a room gets added to an older house.
Services in Home Gardens, CA
All season rooms
A lot of Home Gardens patios sit empty once the afternoon sun hits them, and all season rooms with insulated glass and a solid insulated roof are what make that slab usable year-round. We size the roof and walls to your house and check the slab first, because those two decide how well the room holds up.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Plenty of houses here already have a slab and a cover, which makes a conversion a natural next step if both are in decent shape. We check whether the slab can carry walls and whether the old cover can stay, so you're not paying to tear out something that still works.
Patio cover installation
Older covers around here tend to sag, fade or pull away from the house after years of sun. We take down what's failing and put up a new cover fastened properly to your house, so you get shade now and a frame that could take walls later.
Screen room installation
If what you really want is evenings outside without the bugs, a screen room on your existing slab is a simpler room, and sometimes that's the honest answer. We'll tell you plainly whether screens or glass fit how you'll actually use the space.
Sunroom remodeling
Some older homes here came with a sunroom that's showing its age, with single-pane glass, tired seals or a roof that leaks at the seams. We replace the parts that are worn out and keep the parts that aren't, so you're fixing the room instead of starting over.
Sunroom design
Single-story houses with low eaves limit how a new roof can pitch and tie in, and that's the kind of thing that's better caught on paper than halfway through a build. I plan the room with you first, so you see how it meets your house before anything gets ordered.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to build a sunroom in Home Gardens?
Plan on asking the county before anything gets built, because its list of permit types names patio covers but not sunrooms, so the department settles it for your job. We check with Riverside County Building and Safety for your address before we plan the room, and when a permit is needed we prepare it, submit it and meet the inspector.
How do I get a patio cover permit in unincorporated Riverside County?
Patio cover permits there are set up by appointment only, not through the online submittals the county uses for new houses and ADUs. We book that appointment, bring the drawings and paperwork for your address, and handle the inspection visits.
Can someone build a sunroom without a contractor license in California?
Not legally, because the state only lets unlicensed work slide when the whole job costs less than $1,000, needs no building permit and uses no employees, and a sunroom is well past that line. The state recently raised that limit from $500 to $1,000, and a bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to stay under it, so ask anyone you're considering for their state license.
Does a small backyard shed or room need a permit in Home Gardens?
A detached, one-story shed, playhouse or similar structure with no more than 120 square feet of floor area doesn't need a building permit under the county's building rules, though other parts of the code can still apply to it. A screen room or sunroom attached to your house isn't a detached shed, so that exemption doesn't cover it, and we check with the county before we plan one.
How much does a sunroom cost in Home Gardens?
It mostly comes down to the room's size, screens versus glass with an insulated roof, and whether your existing slab and cover can stay or need work first. Adding power, lights or a ceiling fan adds to it, and so does the permit and drawing work. I'll give you a figure for your own patio once I've measured it.
What causes wear on sunrooms and patio covers in Riverside County?
Wind and the grit it carries cause a lot of it, because the county gets hot, dry Santa Ana winds every year, and its building rules point out that blown sand and soil can wear down materials and damage unfinished work. The county also notes the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults cross it, which is part of why the way the roof and walls connect to your house matters. We seal the seams, fasten the roof to the house the way the drawings call for, and keep an open job covered between work days.
