Is a three season sunroom the right fit for your patio?
A three season sunroom is an unheated room with screens or uninsulated windows. We build them onto Jurupa Valley homes, usually over a patio or deck that's already there, so you get a covered, enclosed room off the house without paying to heat and cool it.
Most people who call me have a patio or deck they hardly use, and the real question is whether an unheated room is enough or whether to build in insulation now. Insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof go in much more easily while the room is being built, and adding them later can often cost more, so if you think you'll want the room comfortable year-round, I'd price that into the first build. Beyond that, the price mostly moves with the room's size, what it sits on, the windows you pick and whether anything on the wall has to move. The schedule mostly turns on the permit and the factory order. My written estimate lays out each of those choices for your house so you can see what each one does to the number.
How we build a three season sunroom
A three season room keeps things simple, so I start by making sure it suits how you'll really use the space, whether that's coffee in the morning, a place out of the sun for the kids or somewhere to keep the patio furniture clean. When I measure, I also note any meter, spigot or vent on that wall, since moving one adds work to the job. We check the slab or deck the room will sit on and get it ready. Then our installers set the frame, the roof and the walls with your screens or windows, hang the doors and clean up.
If you've already got a covered patio and just want it closed in, that's our patio enclosures work. When the space is odd, like a sloped patio, a cracked slab or a lattice cover that has to become a real roof, we take it on as one of our custom sunrooms, and those are the jobs I enjoy figuring out.
Screen walls for open air
Screens suit you if you mostly want shade and a breeze without the bugs, and they keep the room feeling like part of the yard. They're the simplest walls to build and the easiest to keep up.
Windows you can open and close
Uninsulated windows suit you if you want to shut out wind and dust and still open up on nice days. They cost more than screens, but you can close the room up when the weather turns.
Building a three season sunroom in Jurupa Valley
Jurupa Valley's Building and Safety Division issues building permits, as a rule for all construction, and its list names patio covers but not sunrooms, so whether your room needs a permit is a question we put to the city rather than guess at. We take care of any permits your project needs and handle the paperwork with the building department. We reach out to them early, and that includes asking about impact fees, which the city highly recommends doing at the start. That early call matters because the materials are ordered only after the permit is issued, so the permit and the factory's backlog often set your start date.
If your house is in one of the city's High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, the city says new construction has to follow wildland-urban interface codes, the fire-safe building rules, so that's one of the first things we look up. Most rooms we build here go onto a slab or a deck that's already out back. We're based in Jurupa Valley and get the same kind of call in Eastvale, Riverside and many of the cities around them.
Why Jurupa Valley homeowners call Jurupa Valley Sunrooms & Patios for three season rooms
I look at every job myself
I come out to measure and look over every job, and our installers build what we planned together. You hear every choice from the person who made it, so what you asked for doesn't get lost on the way to the build.
In business since 2023
I started out selling sunrooms and patio covers, then went out with install crews and learned the work from the ground up before we opened three years ago. That's why I can walk you through every choice on your job, so nothing about it catches you off guard.
Licensed and fully insured, as required
Jurupa Valley requires every contractor and subcontractor on a job to show proof of state and city licenses and to follow state law on workers' compensation. We're licensed and fully insured, and I'm happy to show you before anyone starts work.

I measure and write it up

Once you say yes, we take care of the permit paperwork. Our installers start once the permit is issued and the materials come in, and we'll tell you the schedule as soon as we have it.
Walk the finished room together
When the build is done, I walk the finished room with you and go over each door and window. I'll also show you the easy upkeep, like a yearly look at the roof and gutters and keeping the door tracks and weep holes, the small drain openings, clear.
Frequently asked questions
What is a three season room, and how is it different from a four season room?
A three season room is an enclosed porch or patio space with screens or uninsulated windows and no heating or cooling, while a four season room is heated and cooled and has all-weather windows. The three season room is the simpler build, and the four season room is the one meant for every month of the year.
How much does a three season sunroom cost near Jurupa Valley?
A sunroom in the Riverside area usually costs about $95 to $130 per square foot, and that figure covers sunrooms in general, not just three season rooms. Larger rooms that need a foundation and come with heating and air conditioning sit at the higher end of that range. I'll give you the figure for your room in a written estimate after I measure.
Can my existing deck hold a sunroom?
Often it can, if it was built to code, according to one sunroom maker, though a deck resting on deck blocks won't do. Even a good deck slopes away from the house so water runs off, so it has to be leveled before the room goes on. An industry sunroom standard also calls for a continuous load path, a connected route that carries the loads all the way down, under any sunroom on a slab or deck, and that's what I check on the visit.
Who reviews sunroom construction plans in Jurupa Valley?
The city's building and safety staff review construction plans before any work begins, then inspect the work through completion. Those inspections are part of the schedule we plan around.
How long does it take to build a three season sunroom?
One maker says installing a three season patio room can take as little as two days, with more time if a new deck or an A-frame style is part of the job. The longer wait usually comes before the build, while the permit and the factory order come through.
What is the best way to keep a sunroom from getting too hot?
The best way is to stop the sun before it reaches the glass, which is what exterior shading like an overhang, awning or shade screen does. That's harder on east- and west-facing glass, where the sun is often low, so a room on those sides needs extra planning. I note which way your wall faces when I measure.
