Request an estimateIrvine: planned tracts and small backyards
Irvine was laid out as planned neighborhoods, so on a lot of our jobs here the houses on a street share the same stucco, the same tile roofs and the same backyard footprint. Many tracts have a homeowners association, and the city has said since it started that it wants to balance building with open space, which is why greenbelts and preserve land run behind so many neighborhoods. It's a different job from the older lots we work on in Santa Ana, where every house on the block can be a little different.
All of that shapes the room. It has to match a house that matches its neighbors, tie cleanly into a tile roof and fit a small backyard without eating the whole thing, and on the hillside lots it often has to sit on a raised deck.
How a sunroom job in Irvine gets from plan to build
Irvine's Community Development Department issues permits for most construction regulated by code, and its review has to finish before we build, so it sets the start date more than anything we do on site. Two things you can check about any contractor here are a state contractor license, which California requires of anyone who builds or alters a structure, and an Irvine business license, which the city requires of every business before it works in the city. We're licensed and fully insured, and I find out what the building office asks for on your project, take care of the permit paperwork when the job needs it and check with the city before we build if anything is unclear.
What moves the price is the size of the room, whether it's a three season or four season room, what shape the slab or deck underneath is in, how the roof ties into yours, and the electrical and finishes you pick. The schedule turns on design, the city's review, your association if it wants to see drawings, and when materials arrive, and I go over each of those with you on your own house at the estimate. We run jobs the same way in Costa Mesa and up in Downey, so you'll always know what step we're on and what comes after it.
Services in Irvine, CA
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
A lot of Irvine tract homes have a concrete patio right off the family room slider, and closing it in is often the simplest way to add a room the house was already laid out for. We check the slab first, because the room is only as straight as what it sits on, then build the walls and roof to tie into your house.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
On the hillside lots, a raised deck is often the only flat outdoor space you've got. A deck-to-sunroom conversion starts with us checking whether the framing and footings can carry walls, glass and a roof, and I'll tell you plainly if they need work first.
Patio cover installation
Newer homes here often sit on small backyards where a cover over the patio is the one structure the yard has room for. We line the cover up with your roofline and stucco so it looks like it came with the house.
Four season sunrooms
When the room is meant to be a home office or a family room you use every month of the year, a four season sunroom with insulated walls and glass is usually the right pick. We plan the heating, cooling and outlets up front so the room gets used instead of turning into storage.
Screen room installation
Houses that back onto greenbelts and open space get the view and the bugs that come with it. A screen room keeps the open-air feel and keeps insects out, and it costs less than closing the same space in with glass.
Sunroom remodeling
In the older neighborhoods we often find patio rooms added years ago with tired glass, leaks where the roof meets the house or a layout nobody uses. We fix what's failing and rework the room so it's worth sitting in again.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to add a sunroom in Irvine?
Usually yes, because most construction regulated by code goes through a permit in Irvine, and a sunroom attached to your house is that kind of work. If you want to ask about your own lot first, the city's permit page sends those questions to (949) 724-6313. On our jobs, I confirm what the building office wants before we build.
How do I find out if a patio cover in Irvine needs a permit?
You don't have to guess, because Irvine's list says a patio cover needs a permit no matter how small it is. Size only matters for things like small detached sheds, not covers. When we build a patio cover, the permit is part of the paperwork we handle.
Does a sunroom contractor in Irvine need a California license?
Yes. The Contractors State License Board requires a license whenever the work needs a building permit, uses employee labor or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a sunroom clears that easily. State law also says a contractor can't ask for or take a down payment above $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, so a bigger request up front is one they aren't allowed to make.
What kind of roofing does a new sunroom in Irvine need?
Irvine's code calls for Class A rated roofing, the top fire rating for a roof covering, on all new roofs, and a sunroom roof counts as new. If you're replacing less than half of an existing roof covering in a year, that needs Class A too, unless the roofing staying in place is rated Class B or lower, in which case the replacement can be Class B. We plan the roof material into the design so it's settled before the city reviews it.
How much does a sunroom cost in Irvine?
We price each Irvine sunroom from your house after measuring, because size, glass and what's under the room move the number more than anything else. A three season room on a sound slab costs less than a four season room with insulated glass, heating and cooling, and a deck that needs new footings or a tricky tie-in to a tile roof adds to it. I'll lay out those choices side by side at the estimate so you can decide what's worth it.
How long does it take to add a sunroom in Irvine?
The build is usually the shorter part, and most of the calendar goes to design and the city's permit review, which has to finish before we start. New online permit applications in Irvine now go through PermitsDIRECT!, and once a permit for a house is issued, it stays good for 18 months unless the city's building official extends it in writing. I give you the steps and what we know about timing as soon as the design is set, and I update you whenever something changes.
