Sunroom additions in Highland CA - a room that joins your house the right way
Need more room off the back of the house? We add a sunroom that joins your house cleanly and fits how you'll use it.
What goes into a sunroom addition in Highland?
A sunroom addition in Highland, CA adds a new room onto your house, with its own windows, roof, siding, fixtures and electrical, so the back of the house becomes space you actually use. It can be built as a heated and cooled room for every month of the year or as a simpler three season room.
Most folks who call us want more usable space off the back of the house, and the first thing I ask is how and when you'll use the room, because that answer shapes almost everything else. The price moves mostly with the size of the room, whether it's heated and cooled, and how much it takes to tie it into your walls and roof, while the schedule mostly turns on the plans, the city's review and what your house shows us once we look closely. Your estimate spells out what your own room would include, so you're working from your house and not a guess.
What happens after you call about a sunroom addition?
Call or send a message
Call (909) 737-1119 or send the form, and we'll get back to you to set a time to come out. Tell us a little about the house and the room you have in mind.
I look over your house
I come out myself to measure, study where the room would meet your walls and roof, and ask how you plan to use it. Then you get a written estimate that spells out what the room includes and what it doesn't, so there's no guessing about what you're paying for.
We handle plans and paperwork
Once you say go, we draw up the plans and handle the paperwork with the office that covers your address. Building starts after that office signs off, so part of the schedule rests on their review.
Our crew builds the room
Our own crew builds the room, and we bring in licensed trade partners when it needs wiring or heating and cooling. At the end we walk the finished room with you, and the job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How we build a sunroom addition
An addition ties right into your house, so most of my attention goes to where the new room meets your walls and roof, because that joint is what keeps the room dry and solid long after the parts you can see are finished. Once the plans are approved, our crew builds the walls, sets the roof and windows, closes it in with siding and finishes the inside, and if the plan touches load bearing parts of the house, I make sure the right licensed people handle that structural work. When a spot looks tricky, I'd rather slow down and figure it out than cover it up and hope it works.
The biggest choice is which kind of room, and I'd rather help you settle it early than halfway through the build. A four season sunroom is the one you'll sit in comfortably through a Highland summer afternoon or a chilly January morning, while a three season sunroom keeps things simpler and suits a bright room you'll mostly use in the milder months.

Sunroom addition questions from Highland homeowners
How much does a sunroom addition cost in Highland, CA?
A sunroom addition in the San Bernardino area usually costs about $95 to $195 per square foot. Larger rooms with heating and air conditioning land near the top of that range, and one local price report's basic figure is for a three season room that leaves out insulation, heating and cooling, plumbing and permits. That's why it pays to check what each quote includes before you compare them.
What is the best way to choose between a four season and a three season sunroom?
Choose by how you'll use the room. A San Bernardino cost guide describes four season rooms as fully enclosed, heated and cooled, with all weather windows, and three season rooms as having no heating or cooling and using uninsulated windows or screens. The same guide notes that insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floors and roof are much easier to put in during the build and can often cost more to add later, so it's worth deciding before the build starts.
Does a sunroom addition in Highland need to go through city plan check?
Yes. Highland's Building and Safety plan check covers room additions on a home, after the city's planning review for new structures. The city also wants a fire flow test report for an addition to an existing house, and East Valley Water District runs those tests, so we check with the city and then prepare and file the plans and permit paperwork for your job.
Who is allowed to build the structural parts of a sunroom addition in California?
Under state law published by the Contractors State License Board, a residential remodeling contractor can't contract for structural changes to load bearing parts of an existing house, such as load bearing walls and roof structures, so the contractor's license has to match the plan. Highland's permit portal also requires contractor declarations signed by the licensed contractor or someone listed under that license on the board's records. We're licensed and fully insured, and I'll tell you up front who handles each part of your job.
How do I make sure a sunroom addition holds up to Highland weather?
Ask how the design handles the loads the room will carry, because one sunroom maker's training notes that a sunroom takes the same wind and snow loads as the house it's attached to. Highland's design figures call for 2 inches of rain an hour and no ground snow load, so getting rain off the roof matters far more here than snow does. I'm happy to walk you through how your room handles both.
How do I take care of a sunroom roof after it's built?
One sunroom maker's guide suggests having the roof and gutters looked over once a year and staying off the roof unless you need to be up there. Keeping the gutters clear gives the water somewhere to go, and if something looks off, give us a call.
Two kinds of room to compare
Four season sunrooms
Pick this if you want a room you'll use every day of the year, with heating, cooling and windows made for any weather.
