Custom sunrooms in Anaheim CA - a room planned for the way you'll use it every day

Most people who call us have a patio they want closed in, a deck they'd like turned into a room, or a sunroom that sits empty because it's too hot or too drafty to enjoy. The price moves mostly with the size, the kind of room you pick and the glass and doors that go into it, since a room joined to the house asks more of every window than a screened one does. The schedule turns on how quickly the design gets settled and what the city's rules mean for your lot, so the more we decide before anything goes up, the smoother it runs. Your own figure comes from the visit, when I measure the space and we talk it through.

I start with two questions, how you'll use the room day to day and which side of the house it faces, because those two answers shape the glass, the doors and how comfortable the room is after that. If you want a room you'll sit in every day, we plan the windows and doors for that from the first sketch rather than trying to fix a hot or drafty room later. Then I lay the choices side by side, screened, glassed or heated and cooled, with what each one gives you and what it adds to the cost, and the decision stays with you. Once the plan is set we build it, and I tell you what's coming next at each step so you're never left wondering.

If you're starting from bare ground, our sunroom construction page covers that side of the build. If you already have a sunroom that's too hot or just never used, sunroom remodeling can be the better place to start, because the problem is often the glass or the doors rather than the whole room.

Anaheim builds to the current California codes plus its own changes for the area's terrain, climate and geology, and we design to them from the first sketch. The city sits in California energy Climate Zone 8, and that zone sets the minimum efficiency rules, which matters most if your room will be heated or cooled and open to the house. Where the room sits matters too, because the city's zoning code treats a room attached by a shared wall like the house itself, with listed exceptions, so it follows the house's side and rear setbacks, the space required from your property lines. On a tight lot, that setback can decide how deep the room can go, so we sort it out before the design is final.

Around Anaheim, most rooms we plan go off the back of the house, often where the family already sits outside, so the sun on that side drives a lot of the choices. We plan rooms the same way on jobs in Fullerton and Orange, and since each city keeps its own rules, we check there too.
