What goes into enclosing a patio in Twentynine Palms?
An enclosed patio room closes in the patio you already have with screens or uninsulated windows, so you get a sheltered, closed-in space off the house in Twentynine Palms. It's usually left without heating or cooling, which keeps it a simpler job than a full sunroom.
Most people who call me have a slab or a covered patio they want to use more, and the first thing that moves the price is what you close it in with, then the size and what your base needs before a room can sit on it. The schedule mostly turns on the city's plan review and any work the base needs first. If you want a room that's heated and cooled like the rest of the house, that's one of our four season sunrooms instead. I'll give you your own number at the estimate, written up with what it covers and what it doesn't. We're based in Twentynine Palms and do this work in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley and the other cities around them.
How we build an enclosed patio room
I start by asking how you'll use the room, because the big choice is screens only or glass that keeps more of the sun's heat out, and that choice sets most of the budget. Then we check that the base sits higher than the ground around it, since standing water can work into the tracks fixed to the base and from there into the room, and we sort out the height before any frame goes up. Once the plans are settled, our crew sets the tracks, frames the walls, puts in the screens or windows and seals the room to the house so it looks like it was always there, then we clean up.
If your patio has no roof yet, patio cover installation usually comes first, because the walls of an enclosure need a sound cover to tie into. And if you'd like glass overhead as well as on the walls, our solarium installation work is the step up from a patio room.
Enclosed patio rooms in Twentynine Palms and nearby
In the city, the City of Twentynine Palms Building and Safety Division reviews plans, issues permits and inspects every structure built or rebuilt there, so a new patio room goes through that office before and during the build. Where your job calls for a permit, we prepare the plans, file them with the office that covers your address and handle the inspections, so you're not the one chasing paperwork while the room goes up.
A lot of the patios I see here are slabs poured close to the ground or meeting the house at an odd spot, so the base is usually where my questions start. We run into the same kinds of slabs on jobs in Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley, and we work them out the same way.

What happens after you call about a patio room
Call or send the form
You call (760) 362-8204 or send the form with a little about your patio. We get back to you and set a time for me to come out.
I measure and ask questions
I measure, look at what the room will sit on and how it will join the house, and ask how you want to use it. Then I write the estimate so you can see what the price covers and what it doesn't before you decide anything.
We draw plans and file
Once you say go, we prepare the plans and file them for any permit the job needs. The city lists a plan review of 15 working days for most plans, so that wait is part of your schedule.
Our crew builds the room
Our crew builds the room while I check in on how it's going. When it's done, I walk through the finished job with you.
Why Twentynine Palms homeowners call us to enclose a patio
The same person from start
I'm the one who comes out to look at your patio and write the estimate, and I keep checking in while our crew builds. You won't be explaining your plans to someone new halfway through.
Building sunrooms since 2020
I learned this trade beside an experienced sunroom installer before starting this business in 2020. I still like the odd jobs, the strange rooflines and slabs, because that's where a room either fits the house or doesn't.
Fully licensed and insured
We're fully licensed and insured. Ask about either one at the estimate and I'll show you before you sign anything.
Big decisions settled on paper
I'd rather settle the glass, the base and the size on paper before we build, because those cost the most to change later. California also requires any change to a home improvement contract to be in writing, easy to understand and to tell you of your right to cancel.
The best time to pick screens or glass is before anything gets ordered, so tell us about your patio and I'll come take a look.

Questions about enclosed patio rooms in Twentynine Palms
What's the difference between an enclosed patio, a screened patio and a four-season room?
In one cost guide's general terms, an enclosed patio is closed in with uninsulated windows or screens and has no heating or cooling, a screened patio has screens only, and a four-season room is fully closed in with all-weather windows, heat and air conditioning. The same guide puts larger rooms that need a foundation plus heating and cooling at the high end of San Bernardino-area sunroom prices, so the type you pick sets most of your budget.
How much does an enclosed patio room cost near Twentynine Palms?
A three-season room added to an existing base, labor included, usually costs about $95 to $140 per square foot in the San Bernardino area, by one cost guide. That figure leaves out insulation, extending your heating or cooling, plumbing and permits, so those add to the total when your room needs them. Your written estimate will spell out which of them your job includes.
What is the best way to plan insulation for an enclosed patio room?
Plan it in from the start, because insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof go in much more easily while the room is being built, and adding them later can often cost more. They also make the room more energy efficient, so if you're on the fence, it's worth settling at the estimate.
How do I choose glass that keeps the sun's heat out of a patio room?
Check the window's Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, or SHGC, which shows how much of the sun's heat comes through, because the higher that number is, the more heat gets in. Glass with a low-solar-gain low-e coating, a thin layer that holds heat back, or a high-performance tint cuts that heat while still letting daylight through, so it's worth asking for by name.
Who is allowed to build a patio enclosure in Twentynine Palms?
A contractor licensed by the California Contractors State License Board, because the state counts adding to a home, patios and porches included, as home improvement work. It's fair to ask which license class they hold, since the board's Awnings class covers patio covers but leaves out patio enclosures. Any contractor who requests permits or submits plans in the city also has to hold a City of Twentynine Palms business license.
Do I need to call 811 before a patio room goes in?
Yes, if the job means digging, such as for new footings. The city asks anyone digging to dial 811 or enter their details at digalert.org at least two days before work starts, and we put that request in before our crew digs.
