What does a sunroom remodel in Twentynine Palms involve?
Sunroom remodeling in Twentynine Palms reworks a room that's already on your house, such as turning a screened porch or three season room into a four season room. It changes how the room is closed in, heated and cooled.
Most of the time you have a room you don't use much, like a screened porch or a three season room, and you want it to work as part of the house. The first choice is whether it ends up a three season or a four season room, because that decides whether the remodel adds heating, cooling and better windows or stays simpler. Insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof are much easier to put in during the remodel, and adding them later can often cost more, so we settle them at the start. Size, a new foundation and heating and air conditioning push the price up. The schedule mostly turns on whether the work needs plans for the city, and the estimate I write shows what the price covers and what it doesn't.
How we handle a sunroom remodel
Most remodels start with what the room is now and what you want it to become, like a screened porch turned into a closed room. Before we price the new work, we check how the roof connects to the house and how high the base sits, because those two things decide whether the old room can carry the new one and stay dry. Then we settle the room type and the windows on paper, since those are the choices that cost the most to change once the room goes up. After that our crew takes out what's being replaced, frames the new walls and roof, sets the windows and adds heating and cooling if you've picked a four season room.
Sometimes a remodel isn't the right call. If you'd rather keep the room open to the air and just need new screens and framing, screen room installation is the simpler job. If all you have is a slab or a covered patio, a patio-to-sunroom conversion builds the room on what's already there.
Sunroom remodeling permits in Twentynine Palms
When a remodel rebuilds walls or a roof, the permit comes from the city's Building and Safety Division. That office issues permits and inspects structures built or rebuilt anywhere in Twentynine Palms. Where your job calls for a permit, we prepare the plans, file them with the office that covers your address and handle the inspections. The city also requires any contractor who pulls permits or submits plans there to hold a City of Twentynine Palms business license, so it's fair to ask about that before you sign. If the new room needs footings, Underground Service Alert asks anyone digging to dial 811 at least two days before work starts, so that call gets made before we break ground.
We're based in Twentynine Palms and work in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley and other cities around them. Most of the rooms we're asked to rework started as a screened porch or patio room added after the house was built, so the roof tie-in and the base height come up on almost every visit.

Questions about sunroom remodeling in Twentynine Palms
How much does it cost to remodel a sunroom in Twentynine Palms?
Adding a new three season room or sun porch in the San Bernardino area usually costs about $100 to $190 per square foot. That's a figure for new rooms, not a remodel price or a Twentynine Palms price. One guide's figure covers labor, standard grade windows, roofing and electrical access, and it leaves out insulation, extending heating or cooling, plumbing and pulling permits. Your estimate shows what your own room's price covers.
What is the difference between a three season and a four season sunroom?
A four season room is generally heated and cooled and has all weather windows. A three season room isn't heated or cooled and has uninsulated windows or screens. Pick the four season room if you want to use the space like the rest of the house, and the three season room if you want the simpler, less expensive job.
How do I check on a sunroom permit in Twentynine Palms?
Call the city's Building and Safety Department at 760-367-6799 ext. 1005/1029. That office issues the permits and does the inspections. On our jobs, we file the plans and keep track of the inspections for you.
How do I take care of a sunroom every year?
One sunroom maker suggests inspecting the roof and gutters once a year, cleaning the door and window tracks and clearing the weep holes, the small drain openings in the tracks. It recommends a pure silicone spray on doors and windows instead of an oil based lubricant, because oil tends to attract dirt.
What causes water to get into a sunroom at the floor?
A base that sits too low is a common cause. One maker's installation guide says the foundation must be higher than the ground around it, because its tracks drain through weep holes and standing water can get back into the tracks and the room. That's why I check the base height on the first visit.
How do I know if my roof edge can hold a new sunroom roof?
Usually it can't on its own. One maker's installer training says a house's fascia board, the board along the roof edge, is rarely able to carry the added load of an attached roof. If you're adding or replacing a sunroom roof, ask how it will connect to the house, and we'll show you how we plan to tie it in.
