What is a sunroom addition, and what goes into one?
A sunroom addition in Jurupa Valley is an enclosed room with windows built onto your house, so a patio or deck you hardly use becomes a room you can sit in. How often you can use it comes down to which type we build.
Most people who call us have a patio or deck out back and want a lot more use out of it. Sometimes that's over a cracked slab or under a lattice cover that will have to become a real roof, and a patio-to-sunroom conversion is often where it starts. The price mostly moves with the size of the room, whether it needs a new foundation, the glass you pick and whether you heat and cool it. The schedule turns on the plans and the city's permits, which we take care of. After I've seen the site, your written estimate lays out the options so you can see what each choice changes.
How we build a sunroom addition onto your house
I start where the room meets the house, because how it ties into your roofline and the wall it joins decides how the roof pitches, where the water goes and whether the old patio cover can stay. Then I look over the slab or deck that's already there, since one sunroom maker's install guide says a foundation with lots of buckles or cracks isn't fit to build on and can lead to leaks later. From there we plan the room around how you'll use it and walk through upright and sloped glass with you. Once the permits are in, our installers build it and tie it into the house the way we drew it.
The room type is the first big choice, and the two most people weigh each have their own page. Read about four season sunrooms if you want a room you'll heat and cool, and three season sunrooms if you want a lighter room for the mild months.
Four-season room
It's fully enclosed, heated and cooled, with all-weather windows, so it suits a home office, a playroom or anyone who wants the room in the hottest and coldest months. It costs more because of the insulation and the heating and cooling, and it's the type I'll point you toward if you plan to use the room year round.
Three-season room or enclosed patio
These aren't heated or cooled and use uninsulated windows or screens, so they suit spring and fall evenings when you want shade and a roof over your head. A screened porch goes one step lighter with screens only, which works if fresh air matters more to you than keeping the weather out.
Building a sunroom addition in Jurupa Valley
In Jurupa Valley, the city's Building & Safety Department issues permits for new structures and for remodeling existing ones. Its room addition checklist asks for stamped and signed structural and roof truss calculations, plus energy calculations shown on the plans. The same checklist calls for separate permits for electrical, plumbing and mechanical work and for patio covers, so lights, outlets or a ductless air conditioner in your new room usually bring their own permits. The city also requires a grading permit when the work changes the grade of the land, which building up a pad on a sloped yard can do. The checklist says every contractor and subcontractor has to show proof of state and city licenses and follow the state's workers' compensation rules. How the city classifies each kind of sunroom isn't spelled out, so we take care of the permits and reach out to the department early, and you'll know what it expects before we build.
Most rooms we add here go over an existing patio slab or deck that was built long before anyone pictured a room on it. The slab can be cracked or out of level, and the old cover usually can't carry a real roof, so we sort that out before anything gets ordered. We're based in Jurupa Valley and see the same tired patios and decks on jobs in Eastvale, Riverside and many of the other cities around us.
Why Jurupa Valley homeowners call Jurupa Valley Sunrooms & Patios for sunroom additions
I come out to every job
I look at every job myself, and our installers build from the plan we worked out together. The person who measured your roofline and asked how you'll use the room is the one you call with questions.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured, and the city's room addition checklist asks every contractor and subcontractor on the job to show their licenses. That way the people working on your house are the ones the city expects to see.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a sunroom addition cost near Jurupa Valley?
A sunroom in the Riverside area usually costs about $17,000 to $120,000 per job, according to one Riverside cost guide. Larger rooms that need a foundation and come with heating and air conditioning fall toward the high end. Your written estimate puts a number on your own room.
Who issues building permits in Jurupa Valley for a sunroom?
Jurupa Valley's Building & Safety Department issues permits for new structures and for remodeling existing ones. State rules only let unlicensed people do minor work that needs no permit and has no employees on it, so a sunroom that needs a permit calls for a licensed contractor. We handle that permit paperwork for you.
Which sunroom type is heated and cooled?
The four-season room is the heated and cooled one, as the options above lay out. If there's any chance you'll want to heat or cool it, settle that in the first plan. Insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof are much easier to put in during the build, and adding them later can often cost more.
What is the best glass for a sunroom, upright or sloped?
Upright glass walls are usually the better pick, because general guidance on glass types finds them less expensive and easier to install and insulate. They're also less prone to the leaking, fogging and breakage often tied to sloped glass, so upkeep stays simpler. If you love the look of glass overhead, we'll go over the trade-off with you at the estimate.
Can I build a sunroom addition on my existing deck?
Often you can, as long as the deck's framing and footings can carry walls and a roof, and I check that when I come out. When they can't, we reinforce or rebuild what's underneath, and our deck-to-sunroom conversion page covers how that goes.
How long does a sunroom addition take in Jurupa Valley?
Much of the time on a sunroom addition usually goes into the plans and permits, not the build itself. A heated and cooled room with its own electrical and mechanical permits takes longer than a three-season room. I'll give you a realistic picture once I've seen your site.
