Anaheim homes, patios and backyards
Anaheim is a big city, and the backyard we walk into on the west side rarely looks like one up in the hills on the east side. In the older neighborhoods we usually find a single-story house with a concrete patio poured decades ago and a wood patio cover that's seen better days. Heading east toward Yorba Linda, lots get bigger and some sit on slopes, and the city says the threat of wildfire is real there. How much that matters for your lot depends on where it sits, so what the room is built from and how close it comes to brush is worth talking through before anything gets drawn.
Most Anaheim calls come from people who want more use out of a patio they already have, the same as in Fullerton and back home in Placentia. That means the job starts with what's underneath, because an old slab or deck may not be ready to carry walls and a roof, and I'd rather find that out on the first visit than halfway through the build.
Our services in Anaheim, CA
Plenty of Anaheim houses already have a concrete patio out back, and closing it in is a call we get often here. Before we plan walls on it, I check the slab for thickness, cracks and how water runs off it, because an old patio wasn't always poured to hold up a room.
A lot of homeowners here want a room for spring and fall evenings and the mild winter days, and that's what three season sunrooms are for. They use lighter glass and framing than a fully insulated room, which keeps the cost down, but they aren't meant to be heated or cooled through a hot summer.
If you want a room you'll use in August as much as in January, it has to be insulated and glazed to stand up to the heat. We build these with insulated roofs and walls and pick the windows for the sun your spot gets, so it's a room you sit in and not just look at.
On the sloped lots in east Anaheim, a raised deck is often the only flat outdoor space, so it's natural to want a roof and walls over it. Most decks weren't framed for that weight, so we open it up, check the footings and framing, and tell you plainly what has to be rebuilt before we close it in.
When shade matters more than a closed room, a patio cover over your existing slab gives you a cooler place to sit through Anaheim's long dry summers. We set the posts on proper footings and tie the cover into the house so rain runs off where you want it and not down your wall.
Older Anaheim homes sometimes come with a sunroom or enclosed patio someone added years ago that now leaks at the house or gets too hot by noon. We look at where it joins the house and what the roof is made of, then fix what's failing or rebuild the parts that can't be saved.

What happens after you call us about an Anaheim sunroom
Call or send the form
You call (657) 226-2045 or send the form, and we get back to you to set up a time for me to come out. We pick up seven days a week, so it's easy to find a visit that fits around work.
I look at your spot
I come out myself, look at the patio, deck or yard and what's already under it, ask how you plan to use the room, and then put the plan and the estimate in writing. The price mostly comes down to the room type, its size and how much work the slab or deck needs, so those are what I'll walk through with you.
Permit first, then the build
We handle the permit paperwork, the city reviews the plans and sends an inspector we meet on site, and if you're in an HOA, tell us early so their sign-off doesn't hold anything up. Once the permit is in hand, our own crew builds the room, and the schedule mostly turns on that review and on what an old slab or deck shows once it's opened.
Walk through the finished room
When the work is done and inspected, I walk through the room with you, open and close everything, and show you how it drains and how to look after it. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job, and that walk-through is where you tell me what you think.
Anaheim sunroom questions answered
How do I find out if my sunroom needs a permit in Anaheim?
Plan on needing one, because the city says most improvements need a permit before construction starts and only cosmetic work like painting goes without. An older city handout lists jobs much smaller than a sunroom as needing permits, such as window and door change-outs and stucco work, so the Building Division is where to confirm your own project. On our jobs, we pull the permit ourselves.
Which building codes apply to a sunroom addition in Anaheim?
A sunroom submitted to the city this year is reviewed under the current California building codes plus Anaheim's own amendments, which account for local terrain, climate and geology. The city also says plans have to be prepared by a qualified person, for most projects a California licensed architect or engineer, and city staff won't draw them for you. When the city asks for those drawings, we arrange them as part of the permit paperwork.
Does a sunroom contractor in Anaheim need a California license?
Yes, because California's Contractors State License Board requires a license whenever a job needs a building permit, uses hired workers, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a sunroom clears that bar easily. The only exception the board lists is a small job under $1,000 with no permit and no employees, which doesn't describe a sunroom. We're licensed and insured.
Does a contractor from outside Anaheim need an Anaheim business license?
Yes, the city says anyone doing business in Anaheim needs an Anaheim Business License, including businesses based outside the city limits. That covers us too, since we're based in Placentia, and it's a fair thing to ask any contractor about along with their state license.
What is the best way to keep a sunroom from leaking in Anaheim's winter rain?
Get the roof pitch, the flashing, the metal strip that sheds water where the room meets the house, and the drainage off the slab right, because Anaheim gets about 13.5 inches of rain a year and 64 percent of it falls in December, January and February. With June through August nearly dry, a poorly sealed room can look fine for months and then leak in the first big winter storm, so those joints are what I watch most closely.
How much does a sunroom cost in Anaheim?
I can't give you a fair number until I've seen your spot, because the price turns on the kind of room, its size and what it sits on more than anything else. A screen room or three season room costs less than a fully insulated four season room, and an old slab that needs work, engineered drawings, or new outlets, lights and a ceiling fan all add to it. The written estimate after my visit is the number to plan around.
