What goes into a sunroom addition in Baldwin Park?
A sunroom addition in Baldwin Park is an enclosed room with windows or screens built onto your house, and the most complete kind works much like any other room addition. At Baldwin Park Sunrooms & Patios, we build them for homeowners in Baldwin Park and the cities around it.
Most people who call us already have a slab, a covered patio or a deck out back that they'd use a lot more if it had walls and glass, and often the plan is a patio-to-sunroom conversion. The price moves with the size of the room, what it sits on, and the glass and insulation you choose. The schedule turns mostly on the permit and on whether the slab or deck needs work before the room can go on it. Once I've measured and checked the base, you get a written estimate with your own figure.
How do you know your patio is ready to become a sunroom?
Nobody sits out there
You've got a covered patio, but by mid-afternoon in summer nobody uses it and the furniture is covered in dust. That usually means the space needs walls and glass, not just shade, and every summer you wait is another one it sits empty.
The deck became storage
When a deck turns into a place to stack things, it's usually because it's too exposed to sit on. A room can often go on it, but the deck has to be checked first, and the longer the boards sit out in the sun the more they weather.
Water at the edges
Damp spots along the bottom after a rain, or a draft where an old enclosure meets the house, usually mean it was never sealed at the edges. Leaving it lets water reach the wall and the floor, and that turns a reseal into a bigger repair.
Two ways to build the room
Four season sunrooms
Pick this when you want a room you'll use every month of the year, heated and cooled like the rest of the house.
Three season sunrooms
Pick this when you mostly want shade and shelter from bugs and wind, with a simpler build.
How we build a sunroom addition
I start with one question, whether you want the room heated and cooled, because that decides the windows and the insulation. We settle it at the estimate so the insulation goes in during the build and not later. I measure the spot and check the slab or deck before a single part is ordered, since a room that's out of square or sitting on a weak base won't seal right. Then our crew gets the base ready, puts up the frame and roof, sets the windows and doors, seals every edge where the room meets the house and cleans up.
Opens to the house
This suits you if you want the room to feel like part of your living space, because you walk straight in from the kitchen or family room. It works best when the room is insulated and heated and cooled like the rest of the house.
Closed off with a door
This suits a room you'll use part of the year, because a door between it and the house keeps the heat or cold out there from pulling on your home. It's the usual setup for a simpler room.
Screens on some walls
This suits a room meant for shade and fresh air, because screens let the breeze through and keep the bugs out. It's a lighter build, but it isn't a room you'll heat.

I measure every base myself
I come out to measure the spot and check the slab or deck myself, and our own crew does the build. You're dealing with the people who measured it when the room goes up.
In business since 2017
We've been in business since 2017, nine years now, and I learned the trade on crews building patio covers and sunrooms. We're based in Baldwin Park, and the slabs, decks and older patio covers on houses around here are what we work on every week.
Licensed and insured for additions
We're licensed and insured. In California, adding a room, a porch or a patio to a home counts as home improvement, and the Contractors State License Board licenses the contractors who do that work.

What happens when you call about a sunroom addition in Baldwin Park?
Call or send the form
We set a day and time for me to come to your house. I'll look at the spot you have in mind, whether it's a slab, a patio or a deck.
I measure and check underneath
I measure the spot and check the slab or deck underneath, and we talk through the room type, the glass and whether it opens to the house. Then you get a written estimate, so you can see what the room costs before you decide anything.
We sort out the permit
Once you're ready, we check whether your address goes through the city or Los Angeles County and take care of the permit paperwork the job calls for. In Baldwin Park, the city reviews the plans and inspects the work, and its Building and Safety counter is open Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 5 pm, and closed Fridays.
Our crew builds the room
Our own crew builds the room on the base I checked and seals it where it meets the house. Before we leave, we walk through it with you and clean up.
Common questions
Should I get a four season or a three season sunroom in Baldwin Park?
Get a four season room if you want to heat and cool it, and a three season room if you don't. A four season room is heated and cooled and uses all-weather windows, while a three season room has neither and uses uninsulated windows or screens. Some heated rooms keep the home's existing doors and windows, which closes them off from the house, and we'll work out which setup fits yours at the estimate.
How much does a sunroom addition cost near Baldwin Park?
A sunroom in the Los Angeles area usually costs about $16,000 to $120,000 per job. Larger rooms that need a foundation and have heating and air conditioning land at the higher end of that range. Your own figure comes from the written estimate after I've measured and checked the base.
Can a sunroom be built on my existing deck?
Yes, a sunroom can go on a deck, but the deck typically needs added beams, posts or footings to carry the extra weight. The usual guidance is to have a local structural engineer say whether your deck is suitable, so that check comes before the room is designed. More on that on our deck-to-sunroom conversion page.
Who issues building permits for a sunroom addition in Baldwin Park?
The city's Building and Safety Division issues building permits in Baldwin Park. The city lists additions to a home among the permit applications filed with plans for plan review, and the division inspects the site against the permits it issues. Submittal steps can change, so check the current ones with Baldwin Park Building & Safety.
How do I make a sunroom energy efficient?
Insulate it while it's being built. Highly insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof make a sunroom more energy efficient, and they go in much more easily during the build, while adding them later can often cost more. California's Energy Code also sets efficiency requirements for additions, so the design has to meet them, and we'll go over how that applies to your room in person.
How do I take care of a sunroom once it's built?
Check the roof and gutters once a year and keep the door and window tracks clean inside and out. That's what one maker's guide suggests, and it also says to keep the weep holes, the small drain openings, clear so water can get out.
