Sunroom contractor services in San Clemente, CA
San Clemente Sunrooms and Patios is a sunroom contractor in San Clemente, and most of our calls come from people who want more use out of a patio or deck they already have. We offer 16 services, from screen rooms to four season additions. The price mostly moves with what the room sits on, the room type and the glass, because a cracked slab or a tired deck needs work before anything goes on top. The schedule turns on that same prep and on the permit when the job needs one. Your own figure comes from the on-site estimate and the written plan that follows it.
Sunroom additions
We build a sunroom addition onto your house as a new room, tied into the existing wall and roof, for families who want more living space without moving.
Four season sunrooms
Want a room you use all year? A four season sunroom is insulated, glazed and heated or cooled like the rest of your house.
Three season sunrooms
A three season sunroom is a glass room without full insulation or heating, built for people who want the patio feel with the wind and bugs kept out.
Patio enclosures
Do you skip the patio because of wind, dust or bugs? We enclose it with glass or screen walls under your cover so it works as a room.
Custom sunrooms
We build custom sunrooms sized and shaped around your wall, roof pitch and view, for homes where a standard kit size won't line up.
Sunroom construction
Sunroom construction is the full build from footings or slab through framing, roof, glass and trim, for homeowners who want one contractor on the whole job.
Sunroom remodeling
Is your older sunroom leaking, fogging up or baking in summer? We remodel it with new glass, roof panels or insulation so it's a room you'll sit in.
Screen room installation
We install screen rooms on patios and decks for people who want the breeze in and the bugs out, without the cost of glass.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Already have a slab and a patio cover? We check whether both can carry walls and a real roof, then convert the patio into a closed sunroom.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
An older deck often wasn't framed to hold a room, so we look under it first, shore up or rebuild the frame, then build the sunroom on top.
All season rooms
We build all season rooms with insulated glass, a solid roof and a finished floor, for homeowners who want the room open to the house every month.
Enclosed patio rooms
What's the difference from a screen room? An enclosed patio room gets solid walls, windows, a door and often power, so it reads as part of the house.
Solarium installation
A solarium has glass overhead as well as on the walls, so we install them for people who want the most daylight a room can get.
Patio cover installation
We install patio covers, solid or open lattice, that shade a slab or deck and can be built strong enough to close in as a sunroom later.
Sunroom design
Not sure what kind of room you want? Sunroom design gets the layout, roof line and door placement drawn up to fit your house before anything is ordered.
Vinyl sunrooms
Vinyl sunrooms have frames that don't need painting and won't rust, so they suit homeowners who'd rather sit in the room than look after it.
Why homeowners call us for sunroom work
Most of our calls come from people who want more out of a patio or deck they already have. Here's what you get from us on that kind of job.
Base, room and glass planned first
We work out what the room sits on, which type of room fits how you'll use it and what glass goes in before anything gets built. I learned in kitchens that a bad night starts with a bad setup, and a sunroom works the same way.
Old decks and cracked slabs welcome
We like the awkward jobs, like an older deck, an uneven slab or a patio cover that has to become a roof. I get curious about what's going on underneath and tell you plainly what it takes before you commit to anything.
Straight answers to hard questions
If the honest answer is that your slab needs work first or a simpler room suits how you'll use it, you'll hear that from us. Call (949) 312-6032 and ask the question you've been wondering about.
How a sunroom job runs from call to walkthrough
Here's how a job goes once you get in touch, in the order we actually work it, because getting the setup right is most of the job.
- Step 01
Call or send a message
Call (949) 312-6032 or use the contact form and tell us a little about the patio, deck or room you have in mind. We reply within one business day to set up a free estimate at your property, at a time that works for you.
- Step 02
I come out and write a plan
I come out myself and start with what's under your feet, the slab or deck the room will sit on. Then I ask how you want to use the room, morning coffee or a full family room, and write up a plan with no pressure to book.
- Step 03
We handle permits and build
Once you say go, we handle the permit side, prep the site and get the base right before the frame goes up. Our crew does the build, and I check the work along the way, so problems get caught while they're still easy to sort out.
- Step 04
Final walkthrough together
When the room is done, we walk through it with you, opening each door and window and looking over the seals and trim. Ask anything while we're standing in it, because that's the easiest time to point at exactly what you mean.
Who we are and how we run a job
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured for the sunroom and patio work we take on. Ask to see our license at the estimate, and compare it with any other contractor you're talking to.
Permits handled as your contractor
When a project needs a permit, we pull it as your licensed contractor, prepare what the city or county asks for and meet the inspector when they come out, so you aren't sorting the paperwork alone.
A clean station every day
We run a site like a good kitchen station, with tools put away, offcuts cleared and the work area swept before we leave each day, because you're living around the job while we build.
From restaurant kitchens to sunrooms
I spent my twenties on the line in restaurant kitchens, then learned this trade on sunroom and patio crews around south Orange County before starting San Clemente Sunrooms and Patios in San Clemente in 2017. We're a licensed and fully insured sunroom contractor with 16 services and 12 cities on this site, and we work in others nearby too. The awkward jobs, like an old deck or a wall that takes the full afternoon sun, are the ones we're best known for. You can read more about how we work.
Sunroom questions San Clemente homeowners ask
How much does a sunroom cost in San Clemente?
The price depends mostly on what the room sits on, the room type and the glass, so your own figure comes from an estimate at your property. A screen room on a sound slab sits at the low end, and a four season room on a deck that needs reframing sits well above it.
Is it cheaper to turn my patio or deck into a sunroom than build new?
Often it is, when the slab or deck is sound enough to carry walls and a roof, since you aren't paying for a new base. If the base needs repair or rebuilding, that saving shrinks, and we'll tell you which case yours is once we've looked underneath.
How long does it take to build a sunroom?
It depends most on the prep and the permit, so we lay out the order of work in your plan once we've seen the base and know whether the job needs a permit. Base repairs and inspections add time, and in San Clemente the city allows construction Monday to Friday, 7 am to 6 pm, subject to permit conditions, with none on Sundays or city-recognized holidays.
Does a sunroom contractor need a California license?
Yes, almost always, because the Contractors State License Board requires a license for anyone building or altering a structure when the job needs a building permit, uses any extra workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A sunroom job usually meets more than one of those, so ask any contractor you're weighing for their license number.
What should I have ready for a sunroom estimate in San Clemente?
Just a rough idea of how you want to use the room and access to the patio, deck or wall it will go against. If you're unsure what was permitted on your property before, you can request its permit history from the city, which shows earlier permits and inspection records.
Do you guarantee your sunroom work?
Yes, our promise on every job is your satisfaction, guaranteed. Warranties on the glass, frames or roof panels come from their makers, and we go over what each one covers when we write up your plan.
What glass is best for a sunroom that gets afternoon sun?
Glass with a low-E coating, a thin layer that holds back the sun's heat, usually keeps a room on a sunny wall far more comfortable. We choose the glass with you at the estimate, after seeing where the sun lands on your house.
Do I need a permit to build a sunroom in San Clemente?
Usually yes, since the city generally requires permits for structural projects and names patio covers among the work that needs one. The city's Building and Safety Division issues permits for additions and is the office that can rule on your exact project, and we'll talk it through with you at the estimate.
