About Chino, CA

Chino is mostly single-family neighborhoods. Near the middle of the city you'll find older streets of one-story ranch houses, and to the south there are newer tracts where the yards are smaller and the houses sit closer together. Most of the calls we get here come from people who already have a patio, a cover or a deck and want a room they'll use for more than a few months a year. Chino borders Ontario to the north and Eastvale to the east, so the houses and yards look a lot like what we see there.

On the older houses we're often working around a low roofline and an original slab. On the newer ones there's usually not much room between the house and the back fence. Either way, the house and the lot usually settle the size and shape of the room before anything else does.

Services in Chino, CA

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    A lot of Chino backyards already have a slab and a cover that only get used on mild evenings, and that makes them good candidates for a patio-to-sunroom conversion. We check whether the slab and posts can carry walls and glass, then either build on what's there or fix what isn't first.

  • Four season sunrooms

    If you want to sit in the room through August, it needs insulated walls, a solid roof and glass that holds back heat. We build four season rooms to tie into your house and to be cooled, so you can keep using them when the yard is too hot.

  • Patio cover installation

    Plenty of homeowners here want shade first and walls later, and a solid patio cover is a good first step. We attach the cover to the house so that a room can go in under it down the road.

  • Deck-to-sunroom conversion

    Raised decks on sloped yards often look solid but were never built to hold a roof. We open up the framing, check the posts and footings, which are the concrete supports underneath, and rebuild what's needed before the room goes on top.

  • Screen room installation

    Spring and fall evenings here are pleasant until the bugs and wind push everyone inside. A screen room gets you those evenings back for less than a glass room costs, and we can build it so glass panels can go in later.

  • Sunroom remodeling

    Older aluminum sunrooms around the city tend to run hot, leak at the roof seams or still have single-pane glass. We replace the roof panels, glass or doors that are failing and keep the parts of the frame that are still sound.

How permits, licenses and pricing work in Chino

In Chino, building permits come from the city's Building Division. It issues them for all work except the exceptions the state codes list, and it advises calling to ask whether your project needs one. I make that call early on every sunroom, enclosure or cover we build here, because the permit is usually what sets the start date, and we handle the paperwork with the city so you don't have to chase it. Before you hire anyone, ask whether they hold a California contractor license and a Chino city business license. We're licensed and fully insured.

The price mostly follows the size of the room, the glass and roof you pick, and how much work the slab or deck under it needs. The schedule depends on the permit and on how much of the base has to be fixed first, and your written estimate lays out those choices for your yard. We do this same work up in Upland and next door in Chino Hills, and Chino jobs are a short drive from our base in Jurupa Valley.

Chino, CA properties and local conditions

Heat is what drives most of the sunroom calls we get from Chino. In a normal year, Chino has 99 days that reach 90°F, 23 of them at 100°F or more, and 11 nights at 32°F or colder, with 10 inches of rain. A west-facing glass room can turn into an oven by afternoon in that climate. Before we draw anything, we talk through glass with a heat-blocking coating, an insulated solid roof instead of an all-glass one, and how you'll cool the room. There aren't many cold nights, but they're the reason a four season room is worth it if you want to use the space in winter too.

The other thing we look at is what's already out back. A lot of yards here have a slab that slopes away from the house to shed water, or a wood or lattice cover that has sagged or dried out. Both need sorting out before walls go up, because a tilted base is where leaks and sticking doors start.

What happens after you call us about a Chino sunroom

  1. Call or send a request

    Call (951) 416-3024 or use the form, and we'll set up a time for me to come see the space. It helps if you're home for that visit so we can talk while we look.

  2. I measure and look it over

    I measure, check the slab, deck or cover you already have, and ask how you plan to use the room. You then get a written estimate with your options side by side, so you can see what each choice does to the price before you decide.

  3. We permit and build it

    Once you say yes, we take care of the permit paperwork and our installers do the build. The city asks for inspection requests before 3 pm to get an inspector out the next day, so we plan our build days around those visits.

  4. Walk the finished room together

    When the build is done, I walk the room with you, open and close every window and door, and show you how everything works. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to add a sunroom to a house in Chino?

The cost comes down to the size of the room, the kind of glass and roof, and whether your slab or deck can carry the room as it is, so I don't give a number until I've seen your yard. A three season room with screens or single glazing costs less than a four season room built to be cooled, and adding power, lighting or a ductless air conditioner raises the price. After the visit, you get a written estimate with those options laid out side by side.

Which home projects in Chino don't need a building permit?

The city's own examples of work that doesn't need a permit are small jobs like painting, wallpaper, carpet, tile, fixing a leaky faucet and maintaining mechanical equipment. A sunroom, a patio enclosure and a new patio cover aren't on that list, and that guidance was written before the current code, so we check with the city before your project starts instead of guessing.

How long does a building permit last in Chino?

The city says a building permit expires 180 days after it's issued, or 180 days after work stops or is abandoned. The building official can grant one 180-day extension at no cost if a letter explaining the reason arrives before the permit expires, so we plan the build to start soon after the permit is issued.

Does an out-of-town contractor need a Chino business license?

Yes. The city requires anyone doing business in Chino to have a city business license, and that includes contractors from out of town. A license is good for one year, so ask any contractor based outside Chino whether theirs is current.

When does a sunroom contractor need a California state license?

The Contractors State License Board says anyone who builds or alters a structure in California needs its license if the job requires a building permit, uses any extra workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, even if that's split across more than one contract. Nearly any sunroom or enclosure crosses that dollar line, so ask for the license before you sign anything.

How do I know if my patio slab can hold a sunroom?

You usually can't tell by looking at the surface, because what matters is how thick the slab is, how its edges were poured, and whether it's cracked or sloped. When I come out, I check those things. If the slab won't carry the room, we talk through new footings or a new slab before anything else gets priced.
