Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Lots of Temecula tract homes already have a concrete slab and a patio cover out back, and that's the easiest start for a patio-to-sunroom conversion. We close in the space with walls, glass and a roof tied into the stucco so it works as a real room.
Patio cover installation
A west-facing yard with no shade can be too bright to sit in most afternoons, and a solid patio cover is usually the first fix. We fasten and flash it to the house so it holds up in wind and sheds water away from the wall.
Screen room installation
Plenty of families here want to sit out in the evening without the bugs and don't need glass to do it. A screen room on your existing slab gives you that for less than a glassed room, and it can often be closed in later.
Four season sunrooms
If you want the room usable on the hottest and coolest days of the year, glass alone won't get you there. We build four season rooms with insulated walls, roof and glass so they live like part of the house.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Homes on sloped lots in the hillier parts of town often have a raised deck instead of a slab out back. We check the deck's footings and framing first, because a room adds weight most decks weren't built for, then add support where it's needed.
Sunroom remodeling
Some of the older aluminum patio rooms here have leaky seams, single-pane glass or a roof that's started to sag. We replace the panels, glass or roof that need it, and I'll tell you plainly when starting over makes more sense.
Temecula, CA properties and local conditions
A lot of the houses we see in Temecula are two-story stucco homes with a concrete patio slab out back and the upstairs windows sitting right above it. Those windows decide the roof, because a sunroom's roof has to tie in below them and still have enough pitch to drain, so I measure that wall height before anything else. The tie-in through the stucco is where rooms leak when it's rushed, so we flash it and seal every cut before the panels go on.
The city publishes the design values structures here have to be built for: wind of 97 mph at Exposure C, the rating for fairly open ground, rain of 3 inches an hour, and Seismic Zone 4. Those are design numbers, not weather readings, and we size the roof panels, fastening and gutters to them from the first sketch.
What we know from working inside Temecula city limits
Inside city limits, the City of Temecula's Building and Safety Department handles plan check, permits and inspections, through the city's online Permit Center. Whether your sunroom needs a permit is that department's call, so we sort that out before we plan, and the schedule hangs on it because we set your start date once your approvals are in. Check two licenses on any contractor you hire here: a California license from the Contractors State License Board and a Temecula business license. We're licensed and insured, and we help you gather what the city asks for and plan the order with you. Price mostly turns on the room's size, screens or glass, the roof, and what your slab or deck can carry, and my written estimate lays that out for your house.
We're a sunroom contractor based in Canyon Lake, CA, so a Temecula job means a run down the I-15, and we prep the truck the night before so crew days start on time. Many backyards here are reached only through a narrow side gate, so we stage materials on the driveway and carry glass and panels in by hand. We're often building in nearby Murrieta the same week, and we get the same kinds of calls from Lakeland Village and the other cities on the way back toward home.

Call us or send the form
Reach us at (951) 579-7062 or through the form, and we set a time for me to come out to your house. It helps if you're home for the visit, since I'll want to hear how you use the patio now.
I measure and ask questions

We build and walk through
Our own crew builds from a checklist and cleans up as we go, so the site stays tidy from one day to the next. Before we call it done, I walk the finished room with you.
Frequently asked questions
Does a sunroom contractor from outside Temecula need a city business license?
Yes. The city requires a business license of anyone doing business inside Temecula city limits, and that includes contractors based outside the city, like us in Canyon Lake. Every Temecula business license expires on January 31, so when you ask to see one, check that it's current.
When does a contractor need a California license to build a sunroom?
The state licensing board says a license applies when the project needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or when labor and materials on its contracts come to $1,000 or more. The only exception is a job where none of those hold and the person doesn't advertise as licensed, and a sunroom or patio cover rarely fits that. We're licensed and insured.
Who makes sure inspections happen on a sunroom job in Temecula?
On a permitted job, you do as the property owner, though the city's inspection rules let your contractor schedule the inspections and be there for them. The permit, the approved plans and the job card have to be on site for every inspection, so we keep them together in one spot on the job, like a station that's always set.
How do I find out what a sunroom will cost in Temecula?
Have the space measured, because the price comes from your house more than from a catalog. Size, screens versus insulated glass and roof, whether the slab can carry walls or needs new footings, how the roof ties in under the upstairs windows, and whether the design needs stamped plans all move it. I come out, measure and write it up so you have the numbers on paper.
What is the best way to turn a covered patio into a sunroom in Temecula?
Start from the slab and the house wall, not the windows, because those two decide what the room can be. I check whether the slab can carry walls, where the new roof can tie in, and whether the existing cover can stay or has to come down. Once that's settled, picking glass and screens is the easy part.
How long does it take to get a sunroom built in Temecula?
Most of the calendar goes to planning and approvals, and we set the start date once yours are in. On a permitted job, work has to stay open and exposed until a city inspector approves it, so the build moves in stages around those visits. I'll walk you through the order at the estimate so you know which weeks we'll be on site.
About Temecula, CA
Temecula has Old Town's older blocks at its center and a lot of newer planned neighborhoods spread out around it, and those neighborhoods are where our calls here usually come from. The houses sit fairly close together on lots laid out for a patio, a strip of lawn and a block wall, a lot like what we find in French Valley.
With yards that size, the room usually goes where the patio already is. The slab's footprint and the space between the house and the back wall decide the design before we ever talk about glass.
