What does it take to turn my patio into an enclosed room?
An enclosed patio room in Rialto closes in the patio you already have with a roof, glass, doors and windows, so it works like a sunroom you can sit in on a hot afternoon or a windy evening.
Most people who call us have a patio they barely use, because the sun bakes it, dust settles on everything and the wind won't let up. The price mostly comes down to the size of the patio, how thick the roof panels need to be, the glass and doors you pick, and whether the slab is ready to carry a room. The schedule mostly turns on the permit and on whether the slab needs work first. When the job needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections with the city or county office for your address. Your written quote spells all of that out for your house, and if you want more than a closed-in patio, a patio-to-sunroom conversion is worth asking about.
How do you know your patio is ready to be closed in?
Too hot to sit out
If the patio only gets used for a few weeks in spring and fall, the heat is winning. An insulated roof and glass walls usually turn it into a room you use all summer instead of a spot you walk past.
Dust on everything
Cushions you have to shake out and a table you wipe down before every meal mean the wind is blowing straight through. Closing it in keeps that dirt outside, and the longer you wait, the more outdoor furniture you end up replacing.
Cracks in the slab
Cracks, low spots or a slab that tips toward the house tell me it needs a closer look before anything gets built on it. If it isn't going to hold a room, I'll tell you up front instead of building on it and having you regret it.
Other ways to use your backyard
Solarium installation
Pick this if you want the most sky you can get, with glass running overhead as well as on the walls.
Patio cover installation
Good for shade and a dry spot to sit when you'd rather keep the yard open and skip the walls for now.
How we build an enclosed patio room
We start with the slab and how your house is framed, because the room has to tie into both and stay dry where they meet. Then we choose the roof together. One maker of insulated roof panels says a thicker panel spans farther between supports and holds more insulation, so I weigh how far your roof has to reach against how warm you want the room before we settle on a thickness. After that our crew sets the frame, the roof, the gutters, the glass and the doors. Once it's closed in, you've got a roof, gutters and door tracks to look after, so I walk you through the simple yearly upkeep. One sunroom maker's guide suggests checking the roof and gutters every year, keeping the weep holes clear so the room drains, cleaning the door and window tracks inside and out with a pure silicone spray because oil-based lubricants pick up dirt, and staying off the roof unless you have to be up there.
Some homeowners want more glass than a patio room usually has, and that's when solarium installation makes sense. If walls aren't in the budget yet, patio cover installation gets you shade now, and we can talk about closing it in later.
Thicker insulated roof panels
These suit a wide patio or a room you want to keep comfortable through the hottest months, since a thicker panel reaches farther and holds more insulation. They usually cost more, and for a room you'll live in, I think they're worth it.
Thinner roof panels on a short span
If the patio is narrow and the room is mostly for shade and keeping the dust out, a thinner panel can do the job. We'll only suggest it when the span is short enough for it to work.
Sliding doors or swing doors
Sliding doors save floor space and open the room wide to the yard, but their tracks need a clean now and then. A swing door keeps upkeep simpler if you don't need the big opening.

The owner measures your patio
I come out myself to look at the house and measure, and our own crew does the building with me on site. That means the person who looked at your slab is there when the room goes up on it.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured, and I'll show you our license before you sign anything. Closing in a patio takes a different license than putting up a cover, so ask any builder you're considering which one they hold.
Designed for your side of 210
The city's building design criteria use one wind speed for homes south of the 210 and another for homes north of it, so we check your address before we size the frame and roof. That keeps the design matched to what the city will approve for your lot.

Common questions
How much does an enclosed patio room cost in Rialto?
I can't give you an honest number until I've seen your patio, because the size, the roof panel thickness, the glass and doors, and the shape the slab is in all change it. A slab that needs work first or a room in a fire hazard zone usually adds cost. The free on-site quote gives you the real figure for your house.
Does an awning or patio cover license cover a patio enclosure in California?
No. The state licensing board says its awning contractor license covers patio covers but does not include patio enclosures. Ask which license a builder holds before you hire them to close in your patio, and check it with the board.
How do I apply for a permit for an enclosed patio room in Rialto?
The city's Building and Safety Department takes permit applications through its Online Permit Center. Every permit needs a signed declaration form along with the signer's ID. When we build your room, we handle the application and the inspections for you.
Does a fire hazard zone change my enclosed patio project in Rialto?
Yes, if your house is in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The city says new construction and renovations there have to follow Wildland-Urban Interface building codes. We check your address before we design anything, so the materials meet those codes from the start.
What causes the glass in an enclosed patio room to fog up inside?
Fog on the inside pane comes from extra moisture in the room. One sunroom maker's guide says you'll notice it most when the seasons change. If it keeps happening, call us and I'll come see where the moisture is coming from.
Do I need to check zoning before building an enclosed patio room in Rialto?
It's worth asking, because the city's Planning Division makes sure building follows Rialto's General Plan and zoning rules. They take planning questions at planning@rialtoca.gov or (909) 820-2535. Where the room sits on your lot is something I'll look at during the estimate visit.
