Should you screen in your patio instead of closing it in?
Screen room installation in Jurupa Valley puts a roof on columns over your patio or deck and fills the sides with screen instead of finished walls, so you get shade and plenty of airflow without the bugs. It isn't insulated like a sunroom, and that's the trade-off for all that breeze.
Most people who call us already have a patio or deck they hardly use, because the flies and mosquitoes take over by late afternoon. The price moves mostly with the size of the room and with what your slab or deck needs before posts can go on it, and the schedule turns mostly on the city's permit review and on what we find in what's already there. If shade is all you're after, a patio cover may be enough, and your written estimate lays the options out side by side.
How we handle screen room installation
I start by asking how you'll use the room, because a screen room is all about airflow, and I want you to be good with some weather getting in before we go this route. If you already have a porch or deck in good shape, we look at screening that in first. Otherwise we check the slab, set the columns, frame the roof and tie it into the framing of your house rather than just the stucco, then fit the screen panels and a door and clean up before we leave.
A screen room is often the first step for a backyard that ends up working harder. If you later want glass and a room you can use through a rainy week, a slab patio can become a patio-to-sunroom conversion and a raised deck can become a deck-to-sunroom conversion.
New roof and screen walls
This suits a bare slab or an open yard, because we build the columns and roof from scratch and screen it all in. You choose the size and roof line instead of working around what's already there.
Screening in your porch or deck
This suits a covered porch or deck that's still solid, because we're adding screen walls and a door rather than a whole new structure. If the roof or frame is tired, I'll tell you before you spend money on screen.
What to know before screen room installation in Jurupa Valley
Jurupa Valley's Building and Safety Division typically requires a building permit for all construction, and its separate permit list names patio covers and pools but not screen rooms, so the division is the place that decides what your screen room needs. The city highly recommends getting in touch early about permit and impact fee requirements, and that's how we work, since we take care of the permit paperwork with the building department and reach out to them early so you know what to expect. If your lot sits in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the city says new construction has to meet the Wildland-Urban Interface building codes, so check the city's fire hazard zone page before we settle on materials.
Around here we find plenty of older concrete patios that have settled or cracked a little, so we look hard at whether a slab can take a column before we plan the room around it. We're based in Jurupa Valley and work in many of the cities around it, and we run into the same tired slabs on jobs in Eastvale and Riverside.
Why Jurupa Valley homeowners call Jurupa Valley Sunrooms & Patios for screen rooms
I come out to every job
I come out myself to measure and look over your slab, deck and roofline, including whether the fire zone rules apply to your lot. Our installers do the building, so the person who heard what you pictured is the one who plans it.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to ask to see it when I'm at your house. You're letting a crew build onto your home, so it's the first thing worth checking.
Tricky jobs since 2023
We've been in business since 2023, and the jobs we're best known for need some figuring out, like a tired deck, a cracked slab or a lattice cover that has to become a real roof. I'd rather spend extra time on that part up front, because that's where most problems start.
What matters most is that you're happy with a room that's open to the breeze, weather and all, before a single post goes in. Send us a request or call (951) 416-3024, and I'll come take a look.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a screen room in Jurupa Valley?
Plan on needing one, since the city typically requires a building permit for any construction and the Building and Safety Division confirms the details for a screen room. The city also publishes a permit-ready plan for patio covers of about 400 square feet, and because it's listed for patio covers, it's worth asking the city whether it can work for a screened design.
Will a screen room keep out the rain?
Not completely, because screens let some rain in, so people and furniture inside can still get wet. If you want a room that stays fully sheltered, a sunroom with finished walls is the better comparison, and I'm happy to price both.
Can my existing porch or deck be screened in instead of building new?
Yes, if it's in good shape, and screening in what you have can save money compared with planning a new structure. I check the frame, roof and footings on the visit so you know whether it's a sound starting point.
What license should a screen room installer have in Jurupa Valley?
Your installer should be able to show proof of a state contractor's license and a Jurupa Valley city license, because the city requires both from every contractor and subcontractor. The city also expects them to follow the state Labor Code on workers' compensation, so it's fair to ask for proof of that coverage too.
What makes a screen room cost more in Jurupa Valley?
Building a new roof on new columns usually costs more than screening in a porch or deck you already have, and the roof style you pick moves it too. Heavier pet-resistant screen, extra doors and a ceiling fan or lights add to it, and your written estimate shows what each one adds.
How do I take care of a screen room?
Plan on cleaning the screens often, because dust and dirt build up on them, and keep an eye out for tears. Pet claws, branches and blowing debris can rip a screen, and a torn one is more likely to let bugs back in.
