All season rooms in La Palma, CA - a heated and cooled room you use all year

Most people who call us have a patio, deck or old sunroom that only gets used part of the year. The first thing to decide is whether the room needs heating and cooling, because that also decides the glass. An all season room gets all weather windows, while a three season room goes without heating and cooling and can use uninsulated windows or screens. The price moves mostly with the room's size, what it sits on and the glass and insulation you pick, and the schedule turns on the shape that base is in and on the city's review if your room needs a permit. When I come out, I write up the room type, the options and the price for your job so you can weigh it without guessing.

I start by looking at what the room will sit on, whether that's a slab, a deck or the floor of an old room, because a room is only as good as its base. Then we settle the glass, the insulation and the heating and cooling with you before anything gets built, so the room fits how you'll really use it. The room runs its own heating and cooling apart from your house, so your home's system isn't stuck carrying a room full of glass. We plan the doors and windows between the room and your home as part of the job, not as an afterthought, since that's the wall where the two spaces meet and where a rushed job shows. After that our crew frames, glazes, insulates and finishes the room, and we clean up as we go.

If you mostly want to close in the patio you already have, one of our enclosed patio rooms may be the simpler path. For a room that's mostly glass, overhead too, take a look at our solarium installation work.

The City of La Palma handles building permits online, and almost all improvement plans go through plan check before the city issues a permit, so that review is part of your timeline from the start. If your job needs a permit, we take care of it. We prepare the plans to the state building codes as the city has changed them, file them with the city and book the inspections, which the city runs Monday through Thursday mornings from 8:30 to noon, usually with a day's notice and never on Fridays. Some inspections need the owner there, so we let you know ahead of any visit where you need to be home. The city's Planning Division also reviews some home remodels for design, which is one more reason we settle how the room looks before the plans go in.

Most of the calls we get here are for an existing patio slab, a deck or an older sunroom, and the base is usually the part that needs the closest look before we plan anything. We see the same kinds of patios out back on jobs in Cypress and Buena Park, and we check them the same way.
