Enclosed patio rooms in Tustin, CA - a room that fits the patio you already have
Patio too sunny, windy or buggy to use? We close it in with windows, screens or a mix, built to fit your slab.
Should you close in your patio with windows, screens or both?
Enclosed patio rooms in Tustin, CA close in the patio you already have with windows, screens or a mix of both, so the sun, wind and bugs stop sending you back indoors.
Most patios we see around Tustin get used less than people hoped, because the afternoon sun or the bugs make it easier to stay inside. The price moves with the room's size, whether your slab can carry it as it is or needs a new foundation, and whether you want heating and air conditioning, since larger rooms with a foundation and climate control land at the high end. The schedule mostly turns on the city's plan review, which we handle with the plans we draw, and your written estimate gives you your own number.

Enclosed patio rooms, close up
How we build enclosed patio rooms
For an enclosed patio, I start by asking how you use the space now, because a patio that's mostly for grilling and late dinners needs different walls than one you want to sit in on a cool morning. Then we pick windows, screens or a mix to suit it, check that the slab is level and solid enough to carry the frame, and measure every opening against the house so the drawings match what's really there. Our crew sets the frame, fits the windows, screen panels and doors, seals the joint where the new room meets your house, and cleans up before we leave.
Some patios need other work first, or would be better as a different kind of room. If there's no roof over your patio yet, we can start with patio cover installation and close it in now or later. If what you're really after is light, with glass overhead as well as on the sides, solarium installation is the better fit, and I'll tell you which way I'd go once I've seen the space.
Why Tustin homeowners call us to close in their patio
Built to drawings, checked each stage
I learned the trade on a municipal crew, where every job was built to the drawings and checked by an inspector at each stage. We've run this business the same way since 2017, so the room that goes up is the one you approved on paper.
I measure, our crew builds
I come out myself to look at the patio and take the measurements, and I check our crew's work at each stage of the build. The person who measured your slab is the one making sure the room fits it.
Fully licensed and insured
We're fully licensed and insured, which is what you want in place before anyone frames a room against your house. Our promise is short. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Tustin and unincorporated county addresses
We're based in Tustin and work in the cities around it, inside city limits and in unincorporated county areas like North Tustin. The permit goes to whichever office covers your address, the city or the county, so we sort that out before the plans are drawn.
On an enclosed patio, what matters most is a room sized to the slab and built to the drawings. Send us your patio's details or call (657) 356-0049, and I'll come out to measure.

What happens after you call about an enclosed patio in Tustin?
Send your patio details
Call (657) 356-0049 or use the form, and if you can, include the patio's rough size, a few photos and whether you want heating and cooling. That tells me what to look at when I come out.
I measure and check the base
I come out to see the space, measure it and check the slab or deck the room will sit on. You then get a written estimate, so you know the cost before any plans are drawn.
We draw plans and get approval
Once you're ready, we draw up the plans and handle the permit, and Tustin says a first plan check takes about 10 working days, with later submittals back within five unless something like Planning Commission approval is needed. That review is what sets our start date.
We build, inspect and walk through
Our crew builds to the approved plans, and the city's inspectors check the work at several stages while we're on site. At the end I walk through the finished room with you.
Enclosed patio questions from Tustin homeowners
How much does a sunroom or enclosed patio cost in Orange County?
A sunroom in Orange County usually costs about $115 to $200 per square foot, and that's the going range in the area, not a quote. Where your room lands depends on the size, the base and the heating and cooling covered above, and your written estimate gives you your own figure.
What's the difference between an enclosed patio, a four-season room and a screened patio?
An enclosed patio closes in the patio with uninsulated windows or screens and usually isn't heated or cooled, while a four-season room is fully enclosed, heated and cooled, with all-weather windows. A screened patio has screens only, and since these are how the terms are generally used, ask any contractor what their word means before you compare prices.
What is the best way to plan an enclosed patio for year-round use?
Settle how comfortable you want the room before it's built, because insulated windows and insulation in the walls, floor and roof are much easier to put in during construction and often cost more to add later. That's why I ask at the first visit whether you'll ever want heating and cooling, even if you start simpler.
What does the City of Tustin review before a patio enclosure is built?
Tustin reviews the plans for zoning, grading and building code rules, and no building-related construction can start until the city has done that. We prepare those plans and handle the paperwork, and the review time is in our steps above.
Who is allowed to build an enclosed patio in California?
A licensed contractor, because California requires a license for any minor work that needs a permit, even when the job is under $1,000. Since Tustin reviews plans before this kind of work starts, check that whoever you hire holds a California license.
How do I take care of an enclosed patio room?
Keep the door and window tracks clean and the weep holes, the small drain openings, clear so water can get out, which is what one maker's guide advises for its own rooms. The same guide says to use a pure silicone spray on the tracks, not an oil-based lubricant, because oil tends to attract dirt.
Work that goes with enclosed patio rooms
Solarium installation
For a room built around light, with glass overhead as well as on the walls, so plants and people get the sun all day.
Patio cover installation
A roof over the patio gives you shade right away and leaves room to add walls when you're ready.
