Is a three season sunroom the right room for your house?
A three season sunroom in Yucca Valley, CA turns an open patio or porch into a sheltered room with glass or screen walls. You use it when the weather suits you, and you don't pay for a fully heated and cooled room.
Most people who call about a three season sunroom in Yucca Valley have a patio they'd use more with walls around it, so the first thing I ask is how you'll really use the room. The price moves with the room's size, the finishes and what's underneath it. The schedule depends on whether the slab or deck needs work first and on the permit, which we prepare and take to the right office for you. If you already know you'll want the room heated and cooled, a four season sunroom may suit you better. Either way, after my visit you get a written estimate with the number for your own room.
How do you know a three season room makes sense for you?
A patio you rarely sit on
You've got chairs out back that mostly sit empty because the patio is too exposed to use for long. A screened or glassed room usually changes that, and the longer the patio stays open, the more the furniture and the slab wear.
Stains where the roof meets the house
Water marks on the house wall or ceiling of an old patio room usually mean the tie-in, the joint where its roof meets your wall, has failed. Each time water gets in, it can soften the framing behind it, so it's worth a look before you build new or fix up the old room.
Cracks or a low corner
A slab with cracks, or a corner that sits lower than the rest, usually means the ground underneath has moved. Build a room on it without checking and the doors start to stick and the seams open, so I want to see the slab before anyone prices the job.

Patio enclosures
If your patio already has a cover and only needs walls and screens, an enclosure can be the lighter project.
Custom sunrooms
When the room has to fit an odd roofline, an old slab or a tight corner, a custom design starts from your spot instead of a kit.
How we build a three season sunroom
I start under the room. We check the slab or deck for cracks, low spots and soft framing and fix what needs it. Then we frame the walls and roof, flash the roof where it ties into your house wall, set the windows, screens and door, and clean up. Before the layout is final, I ask whether you might heat or cool the room someday, because that decides whether we insulate now. We also look at which side of the house the room sits on before we weigh upright glass against glass overhead.
If you have a covered patio and just want walls around it, patio enclosures may be the simpler job. If the spot is awkward, like a room that has to meet the house at a strange angle or sit over an old slab, we plan it as one of our custom sunrooms.
Screened walls
This suits you if you want air moving through and mainly need to keep out bugs and leaves. It's the simplest way to close in a patio, though it won't hold back wind or cold.
Windows that open
This suits you if you want to close the room up on a cool evening and open it on a mild day. You get more months in the room than screens give you, and you can still slide the panels open when you want air.

I write every estimate myself
I'm the one who comes out, measures and looks at the base and the house wall before anything goes on paper. You get your answers from the person responsible for the build.
Years spent fixing other builders' leaks
Before I started building these rooms in 2017, I spent years doing upkeep for a property management company and patching patio rooms someone else had built. Nine years into building our own, that's still why we spend so long on the base and the tie-in.
Your Yucca Valley permit, handled
In Yucca Valley, permits are submitted in person and by appointment only, so we prepare the paperwork, book the appointment and meet the inspector on site. If your address falls under the county, we do the same with that office.
Licensed, insured and in writing
We're licensed and insured. California rules say your contract and any change to it must be in writing and signed by everyone, and you get a copy signed and dated by both of us before work starts.
On this job, what's under the room and where it meets the house matter most, so the next step is letting me look at both. Book a visit and we'll start there.

I measure and check the base
I measure, look hard at the slab or deck and where the room meets the house, and ask how you plan to use the room. Then you get a written estimate, so you're looking at a number built on what's actually there, not a guess.
We handle permits and build
When you're ready, we take care of the permit side with the right office, and our own crew builds the room. I check in at the key steps, like the base and the tie-in.
Walk the finished room together
Once it's done, I walk the room with you, opening the windows and doors and answering anything you want explained. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Common 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 with screens or uninsulated windows, and it isn't heated or cooled. These rooms usually have no insulation or electricity either. A four season room is fully enclosed, heated and cooled, and has all-weather windows, so the first thing to settle is whether you want heating and cooling at all.
How much does a three season sunroom cost in Yucca Valley?
Across the US, a three season room addition usually costs about $80 to $230 per square foot to build. That's a national range, not a local price and not ours. Where your room lands depends on its size, finishes and foundation, so compare quotes on those same points, and the written estimate from my visit gives you the figure for your own room.
Who issues building permits for a sunroom in Yucca Valley?
The Town of Yucca Valley's Building and Safety Department issues permits for all residential structures, and any project that disturbs the ground also needs a Native Plant Permit. The department takes questions at (760) 365-0099 extension 302. If you'd rather pull the permit yourself, the Town of Yucca Valley offers an owner-builder package with the disclosures and forms you'll need.
What is the best way for a sunroom to face?
South-facing glass is the easiest to deal with, because it's very easy to shade in summer with a roof overhang or horizontal shading. Glass facing east or west is nearly impossible to shade without covering it entirely. A room on those sides of the house usually ends up with less glass or more shading.
Is a glass roof or a solid roof better for a sunroom?
An older federal guide found that upright glass walls cost less and are easier to install and insulate than sloped glass in the roof. It also found upright glass less prone to leaking, fogging and breaking, which usually means fewer glass repairs. Glass overhead does let in more sky, so it's still an option if that matters more to you than upkeep.
How do I plan a three season room I might heat or cool later?
Decide on insulation before the room is built. Insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof are much easier to put in during construction, and adding them later can often cost more. California's Energy Code also has rules for heating and cooling in additions and alterations to existing buildings, and the Building and Safety Department decides how they apply to your room.
