All season rooms in Palmdale CA - a room you can live in through every season

Most people who call us have a patio or deck out back that sits empty half the year, and they aren't sure what kind of room to put there. If you want the new space heated and cooled like the rest of the house, that's an all season room, and if a glassed-in room with no insulation or heating and cooling would do, a three season sunroom may be all you need. The price moves with the room's size, the materials and the foundation it needs, and the schedule turns mostly on whether we're putting a kit on a level patio or building a custom room from a new foundation. We're based in Palmdale and work across the Antelope Valley, and the written estimate I send after the visit gives you the figure for your own job.

An all season room ties into your house, so the first thing I look at is how it will open to your living space and how you'll keep it comfortable, from the wall opening to the heating, cooling and insulation. Then I look at what it will sit on, because that's where trouble starts when nobody looks closely. If you have a level patio, a kit can be a good fit since it attaches to the base you already have, and if you want the room built around your house, we plan for a new foundation. From there our crew frames the room, ties the roof into the house, sets the glass, insulates and finishes the inside, then cleans up so you can move in.

Some homeowners find out at the estimate that they want something a little different. If you mainly want to close in the patio you already have and get out of the wind and dust, our enclosed patio rooms may suit you better, and if you're after a glass roof and as much sky as you can get, solarium installation is the closer fit.

Before anything else, we check whether your address falls under the City of Palmdale, LA County or Kern County, because that decides which office we file with and who comes out to inspect. Inside the city, Palmdale Building and Safety oversees construction on homes, whether new, remodeled or existing, and when your room needs a permit, we handle the paperwork. The city asks every applicant to include a construction waste plan with the building permit application showing how the job meets its recycling and waste diversion rules, so we put that together with the rest of the file. California's energy code also sets efficiency rules for additions, and the walls, windows and doors have to meet the standard for your address's climate zone, so I look that up before we pick glass or framing.

A lot of the back patios I see here, and on jobs in Lancaster and Quartz Hill, were poured to hold up a patio cover, not walls and a roof, so I check the slab for cracks and level before we talk kit or new foundation. The sun out here is also hard on a west- or south-facing room, which is why I bring up glass and shade early.
