Request an estimateSun Village: rural lots, mostly older homes
Sun Village is a rural, mostly residential corner of the Antelope Valley. Single-family homes fill most streets, with a few small apartment buildings and the shops around The Corner at Palmdale Boulevard and 90th Street. A lot of the houses went up between 1930 and 1980. When I walk around the back of one, I usually find the original house plus whatever got added later, like a slab patio, a wood cover or a room a past owner closed in.
We see a lot of the same out in Lake Los Angeles. On a house this age, the new room has to sit on something solid and meet a wall and roofline that may have been patched more than once, so that's where I start.
Working in Sun Village means county permits
Sun Village is unincorporated county land, so the permit for a sunroom comes from LA County Public Works and not from a city. The County issues permits here for additions and alterations, and its Antelope Valley Building and Safety office is up in Lancaster. The permit review and the inspections usually set the schedule more than the build itself does. Before you hire anyone, make sure they hold a California contractor license, because the state requires one for work like this. We're fully licensed and insured. When your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork, file with the County and set up the inspections.
In Palmdale the city issues permits, and up in Rosamond it can be Kern County, so I check which office your address falls under before we file anything. Here, the price mostly turns on what's under the room, how it meets the house and how finished you want it inside. I look at all three at the estimate and put them in writing, so you can see what each choice costs before you sign.
Services in Sun Village, CA
Patio enclosures
A lot of Sun Village homes already have a slab patio and a cover out back, and closing it in with a patio enclosure is often the simplest way to get a room you can use. We check the slab and the posts first, so the walls and windows go onto something that will hold them.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
To turn an old patio into a real room, the slab and the cover have to be up to it, and on houses this age they sometimes aren't. I look at both closely, and we fix or replace what needs it before the new room goes on.
Sunroom remodeling
Plenty of back rooms here were added on decades ago or closed in by a past owner, and now they leak, sag or were never finished right. We open it up, find out what was done and rebuild what's needed instead of covering it over.
Patio cover installation
Older patio covers here are often tired wood, or they're tied into the roof in a way that lets water in where they meet. We take down what's failing and build a new cover that attaches to the house properly.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
An old deck can carry a sunroom only if its footings and framing were built for that kind of weight, and most weren't. We look underneath first and tell you plainly whether to build on it, beef it up or start fresh.
Four season sunrooms
Many families here want a room they can use any month of the year, and that takes insulated walls, a sealed roof and a solid tie into the house. We walk you through the glass and panel choices so you know what each one does before you pick.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out which office handles permits for my Sun Village address?
Enter your street address or parcel number into the County Service Locator, with numbers only and no dashes for a parcel, and it shows which office issues permits there. When the County handles it, the result lists the local Building and Safety office's contact info. We check this first on your job before we file, because nearby addresses can fall under Palmdale or Kern County instead.
What projects don't need a building permit in unincorporated LA County?
The County's exempt list covers small projects like one-story detached sheds, playhouses and shade structures up to 120 square feet of floor area and 12 feet tall. It also covers decks no more than 30 inches above grade that sit over no basement or story below. Finish work such as painting, tile, carpet, cabinets and counters is on the list too, though separate electrical, plumbing or mechanical permits can still apply. An attached sunroom isn't on that list, so I treat it as permit work and check the details for your address.
When does a contractor need a state license to build a sunroom in California?
A contractor needs a license from the Contractors State License Board when the job requires a building permit, uses any additional workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and that covers just about any sunroom. The state also requires the license before a contractor submits a bid, with narrow exceptions for joint ventures and federally funded projects. We're fully licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask about it at the estimate.
Does a contractor need an LA County business license to work in Sun Village?
Only if the business is located in unincorporated County areas and its work may affect public health, welfare or safety. The County Treasurer and Tax Collector says a business needs no County license when its activity falls outside the ones the program licenses. Because the rule turns on where a business is located, it's worth asking any contractor where they're based and which licenses they carry.
How long does an LA County building permit stay active?
The County asks you to request the first inspection within 12 months of getting the permit, then schedule follow-up inspections every 6 months to keep it active. We set up the inspections as the work reaches each stage, so the permit keeps pace with the build.
What causes the cost of a sunroom to go up in Sun Village?
What's under the room and how it ties into the house usually move the price the most. On homes this age that often means a cracked slab, an old cover that has to come off or a roofline that's been patched over the years. After that it comes down to size, your choice of screen, glass or insulated panels, and any wiring, lighting, heating or cooling you add. Call (661) 403-1026 and I'll go through each piece with you on site.
