Custom sunrooms in Hacienda Heights CA - a room built on something that can hold it

Most people who call us have a patio they'd use more if it had walls and a roof, or a deck they'd like to turn into a room. The price mostly moves with the size, with what the room sits on and whether it needs new footings, with the frame and glass you pick, and with how much roofing and electrical work it ties into. The schedule turns on that same base question, on ordering the frame and glass, and on the permit side for your address. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your house before you sign anything.

Custom means the room is planned around your house, so the first thing I look at is what it'll sit on, whether that's a slab, a deck or ground that needs new footings. Then I ask how you'll use it, because a room for plants and a room for a home office want different things. From there we work out the frame and glass, then the roof and the flashing that keeps rain out where the room meets the house, plus any flooring and electrical work the room needs. My crew and I build it, and we tell you the yearly checks it'll want so nothing about owning it surprises you.

Some jobs are already designed and just need building, and that's our sunroom construction work. If you have a room that leaks, cooks or never got used, sunroom remodeling can often fix what's wrong without tearing it all down.

Permits here start with which office covers your address. If your house is in unincorporated LA County, LA County Public Works issues permits for additions and alterations like adding a room, but its list names those and not sunrooms, so the list alone doesn't settle whether your room needs one. The county tells owners to call or email their local office, listed in its Service Locator, to ask what a project requires, and if your address falls outside the county's jurisdiction, another office may handle it. We look that up for your address, and when the job needs a permit, we take care of the paperwork and work through the inspections with you. That can include plan check, where reviewers go over the plans against safety, building and environmental standards. If you want to know how the state fire marshal's hazard maps treat your lot, your local jurisdiction is the one to ask about that specific property.

On jobs around here we see a lot of raised decks on sloped lots and older slab patios that were poured for a table and chairs, not walls and glass. So I look at the slab or the deck framing before anything else and plan new footings where the old base won't carry the room, the same way we do on jobs in Whittier and La Puente. We're based in Hacienda Heights and build in a lot of the cities around it, so if yours isn't listed, call and ask.
