Request an estimateWhat goes into a custom sunroom in Palmdale?
A custom sunroom in Palmdale is a room with enclosed walls built onto your house, sized to your own rooflines, doors and walls instead of a kit, with openings closed in by glass or clear panels so the back of the house becomes a room you actually use.
Most people who call us want more out of the back of the house and aren't sure where to start, and there's often an old patio slab or deck already out there. The price moves with the size of the room, the glass, whether it stays closed off or gets heated and opened to the house, and how much work the base needs. The schedule mostly turns on the permit and on what we find under the room before the walls go up. Once I've come out and measured, you get a written estimate with your own figures.
How we build a custom sunroom
Custom means we start from your house and not a kit size, so I take extra time measuring the rooflines, doors and walls before we design anything, because that's where a room either fits the house or fights it. Then I look hard at what the room will sit on, a slab, a deck or new footings, and at how it meets the house, since that's where trouble starts if nobody looks closely. We go over the design with you until every choice makes sense, so nothing about the finished room surprises you. Our crew does the build and I'm on site checking the work as it goes. We install to the maker's instructions because the maker's warranty on many parts depends on how the room is put in, and we clean up before we leave.
When there's nothing out back yet and the room has to go up from the base to the roof, that work is sunroom construction, and it's most of what a custom job involves. If you already have a sunroom that leaks, runs hot or doesn't fit how you live, we can rework it through sunroom remodeling instead of starting over.
Building a custom sunroom in Palmdale
The first thing we check is which office your address falls under, because some homes with a Palmdale mailing address sit in unincorporated LA County, outside the city. If your lot is inside the city, Palmdale's Building and Safety oversees construction on new, remodeled and existing homes, and it asks every permit applicant for a plan for handling construction waste. Other addresses go to LA County or Kern County. When your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork, file with the right office and set up the inspections, so you aren't left chasing it.
Around Palmdale we see a lot of single-story homes with low roofs and older slabs or decks out back, and the sun and wind out here are hard on a room, so we spend real time on how the new roof ties into the old one. We see the same houses on jobs in Lancaster and Quartz Hill.
Why call us for a custom sunroom
The owner measures your house
I come out myself to look at the job, measure and talk it through with you, and I'm back on site checking our crew's work as it goes. The person who measured your rooflines is the one watching the room go up.
Building in Palmdale since 2017
I started out as a helper on a small crew and opened this business in Palmdale in 2017 to build rooms the way I'd learned was right. We're known for jobs with a catch, like an old deck, a cracked slab or a room someone wants changed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom sunroom cost in Palmdale?
A sunroom in the Los Angeles area usually costs about $110 to $160 per square foot, which makes a good starting figure for early planning. Where your room lands depends on its size, the glass, whether it's heated and what it sits on, and your written estimate gives you your own number.
How do I choose between a closed-off sunroom and one that opens into the house?
Sunrooms generally come in two kinds, a room kept separate from the house that isn't heated, cooled or lived in full time, and a heated or cooled room that opens into the main house. Settle this first, because it decides how the room meets the house, what it needs and what it costs.
Can I heat a sunroom addition in Palmdale?
Yes, but under California's energy code guidance a new or replacement heating system serving an addition has to be a heat pump, so plan the room's heat around one from the start. That guidance also counts an unheated room that's later heated or cooled as new conditioned space in an addition, so the same rule applies if you close in a room now and heat it later.
How much can a contractor ask for up front on a sunroom in California?
The state licensing board caps the down payment on a home improvement job at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. Later payments have to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered, so you pay as the room takes shape.
Can I install a sunroom kit myself to save money?
You can, but one sunroom maker gives no labor warranty to owners who install the room themselves or arrange their own installation, and many parts of its factory warranty depend on proper installation. Who puts the room in shapes the coverage you keep, so ask any installer how they follow the maker's instructions.
How do I keep a sunroom from getting too hot in Palmdale?
Shade the glass from outside, because blocking sunlight before it reaches the glass is the most effective way to limit the heat coming through windows. Outside shading alone works less well on east and west walls, where the sun is often low in the sky, so those walls need extra thought when the room is designed.
