Sunroom remodeling in Canyon Lake, CA - a room that fits how you really use it

Most of the rooms people call me about are already standing. They just aren't working, because the room sits on a tired base, the glass is wrong for how you use it, or it stays closed most of the year. The price moves with the size of the room, the shape of the base under it, and whether you want a heated and cooled four season room or a lighter three season room. The schedule turns mostly on the POA and city approvals and on what we find once the old room is opened up, so I put the measurements and what I saw on paper at the estimate and you can plan from real numbers.

Every remodel starts under the room. I check the slab or deck the old room sits on first, because cracks or buckling change what can go back on it, and new glass on a base that's moving is money wasted. Then we decide with you whether this is the time to add insulation or better windows, since the walls and roof will already be open. From there our crew takes out what isn't staying, repairs or replaces the base if it needs it, builds the new frame and roof, sets the glass and finishes the trim.

Not every old room should come back as glass. If you'd rather have shade and a breeze without the bugs, screen room installation may suit you better than a full remodel. If what you really have is a covered slab with a few panels bolted on, we treat it as a patio-to-sunroom conversion and plan it from the ground up.

In Canyon Lake the POA comes before the city. The Canyon Lake POA requires its own permit, approved by its Architectural Control Committee, for any project except plantings and remodeling inside a structure it has already approved as living space, so what we change on your room decides which side you're on. New improvements such as additions take a 2 week POA process, and the association notifies the community one week before your project goes to the committee. The City of Canyon Lake accepts exterior applications only after POA approval, and its list names patio covers and window replacement but not sunrooms, so we check with the city whether your remodel needs a permit instead of guessing. If your home is in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the city says renovations must follow wildland-urban interface building codes, the rules for homes near open wildland, and that can change the materials we use. We help you gather what the POA and the city ask for and plan the order with you.

A lot of the rooms we're asked to rework here are older patio enclosures and screen rooms added on years back, often on a slab that was poured for a patio and not for a room. We see the same kind of add-on rooms on jobs in Menifee and Lake Elsinore, and we plan those the same careful way, with each city's own approval steps.
