Enclosed patio rooms in Rancho Cucamonga CA - a room that stays dry and comfortable
Your patio sits empty because it's too hot, buggy or dusty out there. We close it in so you get a room you'll actually use.
Should I enclose my patio cover or build a new patio room?
An enclosed patio room in Rancho Cucamonga puts walls, windows and a door around the patio you already have, so you can use it as a room through more of the year instead of only on mild days.
Most people who call us have a covered patio they hardly use. One sunroom company lays out two ways to fix that, adding walls under the cover you've got or building a patio room whose new insulated roof and walls work as one system, and it notes the insulated roof usually makes the finished room more comfortable. Price comes down to whether your cover is sound enough to keep, since building under a good one usually costs less, along with the size of the room, the condition of the slab and how many windows and doors you want. The schedule mostly turns on the permit and on any slab repair that has to happen first. After I measure, you get the price in writing, so you're working from your own number.

Enclosed patio rooms, inside and out
How we build an enclosed patio room
I start with your patio cover, because everything else hangs off it. I look at how solid it is, how it's attached to the house and how high it sits, and we only build under it if it's sound. If it isn't, we talk about a new insulated roof instead. Then I look at the slab the room will sit on, since a slab with cracks, settling, poor drainage or too little room may need repair or an extension before any walls go up. Once the plan's set, our crew frames the walls, sets the windows and the door, and ties the roof into the house so water runs off where it should. Doors and windows get adjusted until they close right, and we don't hide gaps behind trim, because I spent years pulling that trim off other people's rooms.
Some people come in asking for a patio room and end up planning something else. If you want glass overhead and on most of the walls, that's our solarium installation work, and if your cover is worn out and shade is all you need right now, patio cover installation may be the right job, with walls added later if you want them.
Why homeowners here hire Rancho Cucamonga Sunrooms & Patios
I measure, our crew builds
I come out myself to look at the job and measure, and our own crew does the building with me on the job. The person who priced your room is there when it goes up, so what we talked about is what gets built.
Nine years building, longer fixing
We've been building these rooms since 2017, and before that I spent years doing upkeep for a property management company, fixing leaky patio covers and sagging enclosures. Taking apart rooms that failed taught me where they fail, and that's what we build around.
Licensed and insured in California
We're licensed and insured, and the state licensing board requires a license for anyone building or altering a structure when the job needs a building permit, uses employee labor or runs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A patio room is well past that dollar figure, so whoever builds yours needs that license.
Laid out to Rancho Cucamonga's rules
The city's patio cover plan keeps the longer wall and one other wall at least 65% open in their lower section, and homes in the city's Very High Fire Severity Zone fall under separate sections of it, so I check your zone and lay out the walls around those rules before we settle on a design. That way you aren't planning a room the plan doesn't allow.

Enclosed patio room questions
How much does an enclosed patio room cost in Rancho Cucamonga?
A three-season room installed on an existing structural base in Rancho Cucamonga usually runs about $110 to $150 per square foot. That covers installation labor, standard-grade windows, siding, roofing, fixtures and electrical access, but not insulation, extending your heating or cooling, plumbing or pulling permits, so budget for those separately. Call (909) 360-4006 and I'll come out and measure for yours.
Can I enclose my existing patio cover in Rancho Cucamonga?
Usually, if the cover passes the check we do first, but a bedroom window can rule it out. The city's patio cover plan requires a patio structure to stay completely open when a bedroom's emergency escape window opens onto it, so check which windows face your patio before anything else.
Who pulls the permit for a patio room in Rancho Cucamonga?
We do when the job needs one, and before we start we check what the city wants for your address, then work with the building office through the inspections. Rancho Cucamonga issues patio cover permits through its Building and Safety office, which takes permit requests by email at CDtech@CityofRC.us. Zoning and setback questions, like how close the room can sit to your property line, go to the city's Planning Department.
Can an enclosed patio room be used as a bedroom or storage room?
Not under the city's patio cover plan, which treats patio covers as recreational, outdoor living space and not carports, garages, storage rooms or full-time living space. If you want a bedroom or a storage room, that falls outside the plan, so tell me at the estimate and we'll start from what you actually need.
How do I choose between an enclosed patio room and a sunroom?
Pick the patio room if you care most about the room holding its temperature, and a sunroom if you want the most daylight. One sunroom company notes that an insulated roof and solid walls hold temperature better, while a room that's mostly glass and aluminum brings in more light. For a room you want to sit in on a hot afternoon, I lean toward the insulated roof.
How do I get ready for a patio room estimate?
Have photos of your current cover, the slab and any windows that face the patio ready when you call or fill out the form. If a door or window under an attached cover is wider than 6 feet, bring it up at the first visit, because the city's plan doesn't allow an opening that wide there unless it's otherwise justified.
Other work that goes with enclosed patio rooms
Solarium installation
A better fit if you want to sit under glass and see the sky, and don't mind giving up some of the temperature control a solid roof gives you.
Patio cover installation
A new cover on its own gives you shade now and leaves room to close it in down the road.
