What goes into a custom sunroom in Huntington Beach?
A custom sunroom in Huntington Beach is a room we build onto your house to fit your space and the way you'll use it. It can be a screened room, a three season room or a four season room you can heat and cool. Most of ours go on an existing patio slab, a deck or the spot under a tired old cover.
Most people call because the space out back only gets used part of the year and they want more out of it. The price moves with the room type, the size, the glass and insulation, whether heating and cooling go in, and whether your slab or deck can carry the room as it is or needs work first. The schedule turns on the approvals your address needs and on what we find under the patio. I'll tell you what your slab or deck can handle on the first visit, and the estimate spells out what's in the price and what isn't.
How we build a custom sunroom
We start with how you'll use the room, because screens, a three season room and a four season room are different builds with different costs and different framing. I want the heating question answered before anything gets drawn, since it decides the glass, the framing and whether the room opens to the house. Then I check the slab or deck and the wall the room ties into. If you're building on what's already there, I show you how the new framing ties down to it, because that connection is where rooms settle when somebody rushes. Our crew builds square and plumb, seals the joint with the house so water runs away from it, and cleans up when we're done.
A custom room is one piece of what we do. If your design is settled and you need it built, our sunroom construction work covers the framing, glass and roof from the base up. If you already have a sunroom that leaks, runs hot or feels dated, sunroom remodeling can often fix it without starting over.
Custom sunroom approvals and jobs in Huntington Beach
If your address falls in California's coastal zone, building a room generally can't start until the California Coastal Commission or the local government issues a coastal development permit. Whether yours does is something we check before we price the job, along with which city or county office covers your address and what it'll ask for. The city also asks anyone mailing a planning application to call its Planning and Zoning Counter, or the planner assigned to the project, for a quick look so nothing major gets left out. When a permit's needed, we pull it, set up the inspections and put that in writing in the contract.
We're based in Huntington Beach and work across the cities around it in Orange County. Most of what we see here is older concrete patios and decks behind the house, often under an aluminum cover that's seen better days. Some slabs are level and thick enough to carry a room, and some have cracks, low spots or edges too thin for the load, so I check before anyone draws walls. We find the same mix in Fountain Valley and Westminster, and we handle those jobs the same way.

What happens after you call about a custom sunroom?
Call or send the form
Call (657) 329-2001 or use the form, and we'll get back to you to set up a visit. It helps to tell us the room type you have in mind and whether it'll sit on a slab or a deck.
I come out and look
I look at the slab, deck or cover, the wall the room ties into and where the water goes. Tell me how you want to use the room, because that's what I design around.
Get a written estimate
The estimate spells out what's included and what isn't, so you can compare bids line by line. If your slab or deck needs work, you'll see it as its own line now, not as a surprise after the walls go up.
We build, then walk it
Once you sign, we take care of the permit side and our crew builds the room. When it's done, we walk the finished room with you and go over how to look after it.
Why Huntington Beach homeowners call us for custom sunrooms
I look at every job myself
I come out to every job, and our own crew does the building. While the work goes on, I'm the one you call with questions, so you get a straight answer from the person who priced it.
In business since 2013
I framed new houses for builders for years before I started this business in 2013, and we've worked on lived-in homes ever since. That's why I check the slab, the deck and the back wall before selling anybody a room.
Licensed and fully insured crew
We're licensed and fully insured. California's Contractors State License Board licenses contractors, and its awning class covers patio covers but not patio enclosures, so it's fair to ask any bidder whether their license fits a full room.
The base and the joint with the house decide how a room holds up, so let me look at yours first. Ask for your estimate or call (657) 329-2001.

Questions about custom sunrooms in Huntington Beach
What's the difference between a three season and a four season sunroom?
A four season room is fully enclosed, heated and cooled, with all-weather windows, while a three season room isn't heated or cooled and uses uninsulated windows or screens. A screened porch has screens only. I ask whether you want to sit in the room every month or just part of the year, because that answer picks the type before we draw anything.
How much does a custom sunroom cost in Huntington Beach?
A three season sunroom in Huntington Beach usually costs about $110 to $160 per square foot, which covers labor, builder-grade materials and standard electrical work. That figure leaves out insulation, heating and cooling, plumbing and permits, and larger rooms that need a foundation plus heating and cooling land at the high end of Orange County prices. Your estimate puts your own room's figure in writing.
Should I insulate my sunroom when it's built or add it later?
Settle it before the build, because highly insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof are much easier to put in while the room is going up. Adding them later can often cost more. That's why the heating question comes first on the rooms we price.
How much can a contractor ask for up front on a sunroom in California?
In California, a contractor can't ask for or take a down payment of more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. The other payments have to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered, and the state licensing board applies these rules to all home improvement jobs.
How do I take care of a sunroom so it drains and the doors slide?
Check the roof and gutters once a year and keep the door and window tracks clean, as one sunroom maker's owner guide suggests. The same guide says to use a pure silicone spray on the tracks, since oil-based lubricants tend to pick up dirt, and to keep the weep holes, the small drain openings in the frame, clear.
What causes dew on the outside of sunroom glass?
Dew on the outside of sunroom glass is quite normal, and one maker's guide calls it a sign of high insulation value. It shows the glass is keeping the room's heat inside instead of warming the outer pane, so it can be a nuisance without being a problem.
