About Riverside, CA

Riverside is a big city with a lot of different houses in it, and I see that on almost every visit. In the older neighborhoods we find wood decks and patio covers that have been out back for years. In the newer tracts it's usually a plain concrete slab off the family room with a builder's aluminum cover over it. It's close to home for us, since we're based next door in Jurupa Valley, and the calls here sound a lot like the ones we get in Corona.

Plenty of yards here aren't flat, either. Between a sloped patio, a deck sitting a few feet off the ground and a slab that's settled over time, what's under the room usually decides more about the job than the room itself does.

Services in Riverside, CA

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    Most Riverside calls start with a slab patio that already gets used, just not as much as it could. I check whether the slab can carry walls and a roof, and if it can't, we add footings at the edges before the room goes up.

  • Deck-to-sunroom conversion

    Raised wood decks on sloped lots are common here, and a lot of them were built for patio chairs, not a room. We open up the framing, see what's sound and reinforce or rebuild what's underneath so the room sits on something that will hold it.

  • Three season sunrooms

    For a lot of families here, a three season sunroom is the right fit for a back patio they want to use more, without the cost of a fully heated and cooled room. We build it with screen or glass panels over your existing patio and tie it into the house so it looks like it belongs.

  • Patio cover installation

    Older lattice and aluminum covers around Riverside often sag or leak, and most of them can't carry walls later. We replace them with a solid roof cover sized so you can enclose it down the road if you want to.

  • Sunroom remodeling

    Some Riverside homes already have an enclosed patio from years back with drafty panels, a tired roof or no power out there. We keep what's sound and redo the rest, so you're not paying to rebuild parts that are fine.

  • Four season sunrooms

    In the newer tracts, the slab off the family room is a natural spot for a room that works like part of the house. A four season room gets insulated walls, real windows and a roof built to carry them, and we plan the power and the heating and cooling hookups before anything is ordered.

What it takes to build a sunroom in Riverside

Your permit comes from the City of Riverside itself, and the city wants a permit for building or altering a structure, which is what a sunroom or enclosure is. Most applications need a sign-off from the city's Planning Division before Building & Safety checks the plans, so that review usually sets the start date. We reach out to the building department early so you know what to expect. It's also worth checking that whoever you hire has a City of Riverside business license, because the city requires one for businesses working here. An older city finance page says that can include companies based outside the city limits, and the Business License Division can tell you what applies today.

What moves the price is mostly what's under the room and what goes into it, starting with the size, three season or four season, and the glass and roof you pick. Power, heating and cooling, and whether your slab or deck can carry the room as it is or needs new footings or framing add to it. The schedule turns on the city's review and on any rebuilding underneath, and the written estimate I put together after the visit lays out your options side by side. We drive the same roads into Riverside that take us out to Ontario, so a visit here is an easy one to set up.

Riverside, CA properties and local conditions

In Riverside the trouble is usually underfoot. Older wood decks have soft boards and posts that have been in the ground a long time, and slab patios crack or settle toward the yard, which is fine for a table and chairs but not for walls and glass. I'd rather find that on the first visit than halfway through the build, so I probe the deck, check the slab for level and plan any new footings or framing before you see a number.

Plenty of yards here step down with a short retaining wall. The city doesn't require a permit for a wall up to 4 feet, measured from the bottom of its footing to the top, but that exemption ends once the wall holds up extra load. If a new room would put weight near one, we work out the footings and the permit side of it before anything is drawn.

How a sunroom job goes when you call us in Riverside

  1. Call or send a request

    Tell us what you have now, a slab, a deck or an old cover, and what you'd like it to become. We'll pick a time for the visit that works for you.

  2. I come out and measure

    I measure, look over what's already there and ask how you want to use the room, so it helps if you're home for that part. You get a written estimate that shows your options and what each one changes, so the price makes sense before you decide anything.

  3. We handle the city permit

    Once you say yes, we put the paperwork together and file it with the city. Building starts after the city's review we covered above, and I'll keep you posted while it's in.

  4. We build, then walk through

    Our installers build the room, and when it's done I walk through it with you and go over every part of it. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for a backyard shed or a sunroom in Riverside?

A one-story detached shed, playhouse or similar structure of 120 square feet or less doesn't need a city permit, but a sunroom isn't on that exempt list. The city's permit page lists what's exempt, such as fences up to 7 feet and finish work like paint or tile, and building a structure isn't one of them. We file for the permit as part of the job.

Can I get a patio cover permit the same day in Riverside?

Sometimes, because the city issues some permits over the counter the same day, and simple patio covers are one of its examples. An enclosed room, or a cover built to take walls later, usually needs plans submitted for plan review instead. I'll tell you which way yours is likely to go after the visit.

Who can pull the building permit for a sunroom in Riverside?

The city can issue many types of permits to the property owner, the owner's authorized agent or an appropriately licensed contractor. On our jobs, we take care of the permit and the paperwork with the city, so you don't have to.

How long does a Riverside building permit stay valid?

A residential permit becomes invalid if the work doesn't start within 12 months after it's issued. That matters if you'd like to pull the permit now and build later, so we plan the build date with that window in mind.

How do I turn my old patio cover into a sunroom in Riverside?

Usually the old lattice or aluminum cover comes down, because most weren't built to carry walls, glass and a real roof. I check the slab and posts first, then we build the new roof and walls together and tie them into the house, with the city permit we talked about above.

How much does a sunroom cost in Riverside?

A sunroom's price here is set by what you choose and what's under it, so I don't give a number until I've seen your patio or deck. The biggest swing is usually the ground work, because reusing a sound slab costs less than new footings or a rebuilt deck frame, and three season rooms generally come in under four season rooms.
