What does it take to close in a patio in Twentynine Palms?
Twentynine Palms Sunrooms & Patios builds patio enclosures in Twentynine Palms, CA, closing in a covered patio with sliding glass walls, bi-fold doors or removable screens so you end up with a room you can use open or shut.
Most people who call us have a patio that's too hot to sit on by midafternoon or too dusty to leave furniture out on, and they want that space back as a room. The price mostly moves with the size of the patio, the frame material, the glass and doors you pick, and how much shade the room needs, while the schedule turns on the city's plan review and on whether your cover and slab are ready to carry new walls. If you don't have a cover yet, patio cover installation usually comes first. Your estimate spells out what the price covers and what it doesn't, so you can see where each choice lands.
How we build patio enclosures
Closing in a patio comes down to frame material, glass and shade, and each one changes the other two, so we lay the options out side by side and you weigh them against your budget. Aluminum frames are common in California because termites can't eat them, they won't burn and they need almost no care, which is why I steer most patios out here that way. Wood looks warmer, and if that's what you want, plan on sealing it now and then and keeping an eye out for termites. Once the frame, the glass and the shade are settled on paper, our crew fits the frame to your cover and slab, sets the glass walls, sliders or screens, and seals the joint where the room meets the house so dust doesn't find its way in.
Some patios want more than an enclosure. If you're after a fully closed room with its own insulated walls and roof, that's sunroom construction, and if your patio has an odd roofline or meets the house in a strange spot, we'll treat it as one of our custom sunrooms and design around it.
Planning a patio enclosure in Twentynine Palms
Permits for any structure built or rebuilt in Twentynine Palms come from the city's Building and Safety Division, and applications go through its online portal, so we plan your enclosure around that from the first visit. Where your job calls for a permit, we draw the plans, file them with the city and handle the inspections. The city also requires any contractor who pulls permits or submits plans to hold a City of Twentynine Palms business license, which is worth asking any contractor about. If footings mean digging, we call 811 at least two days before we start so buried lines get marked.
A lot of the patios we close in out here sit on older slabs and face west into the afternoon sun, so I check the slab and the direction before anyone talks about glass. We see the same thing on jobs in Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley, and we handle it the same way.

What happens after you call about a patio enclosure?
Call or send the form
Call (760) 362-8204 or send the form with a few lines about your patio. We'll set a time for me to come out and see it.
I measure and ask questions
I measure, look at the slab and the wall the room will join, and ask how you want to use the space. Then I write an estimate that shows what the price covers and what it doesn't, so nothing in it is a guess.
We file plans with the city
Once you say go, we draw the plans and handle the permit. The city says plan review takes 15 working days, so build that wait into your start date.
Our crew builds, I walk through
Our crew builds the room on your slab and under your cover. When it's done, I walk through the finished enclosure with you.

Building rooms since 2020
I learned the trade beside an experienced sunroom installer and started this business in 2020, six years ago. I still like the jobs with a puzzle in them, like an odd roofline or an old slab that meets the house in a strange spot.

Questions about patio enclosures in Twentynine Palms
How much does a patio enclosure cost in Twentynine Palms?
A new enclosed patio with walls and windows usually runs about $100 to $350 per square foot across the US, and that's a national figure, not our price. Where yours lands depends mostly on the frame, the glass and the shade you choose, and I'll write your figure into the estimate after I've measured.
What glass works best for a patio enclosure in hot weather?
One desert sunroom design guide calls for low-E glass with a low SHGC, which measures how much of the sun's heat passes through the glass. Lower is better in a hot place like ours, so ask every contractor quoting your job for the SHGC of the glass they're offering.
What is the best way to keep an enclosed patio cool in the desert?
The same guide says the best cooling comes from pairing low-SHGC glass with shade outside the south- and west-facing walls, such as awnings, exterior roller shades or a roof overhang. Inside blinds help less because they trap heat between the glass and the fabric, so budget for outside shade along with the glass, and know that a closed-up room can also take ceiling fans, heaters or a mini-split.
Who issues permits for a patio enclosure in Twentynine Palms?
The city's Building and Safety Division issues building permits in Twentynine Palms. When we build your enclosure, we file through the city's portal and meet the inspector, so you don't have to.
What license does a contractor need to enclose a patio in California?
A patio enclosure falls outside California's awning contractor class, which covers awnings and patio covers, so a license for covers alone doesn't stretch to closing one in. The state also says any minor work that needs a permit of any kind requires a license, even when the job is under $1,000.
How do I take care of a patio enclosure?
One enclosure maker's care guide suggests checking the roof and gutters once a year and keeping the door and window tracks clean inside and out. For the tracks, it recommends a pure silicone spray rather than an oil-based lubricant.

Custom sunrooms
For a patio with an odd shape or roofline, where you want a room designed around it instead of fitted to a standard kit.
