Patios behind older and newer homes in Upland
Upland is a mix of older houses on established streets and newer tract homes, and a lot of them have the same thing out back. There's a concrete patio under a cover that holds the grill and not much else. Most of our calls here come from homeowners who want that space closed in and usable. The newer neighborhoods look a lot like the ones we build behind next door in Rancho Cucamonga, while the older streets bring their own quirks.
On an older house, the slab under the patio was usually poured for a cover, not a room, and the wall where a new roof ties in may have been patched more than once. So the job here starts with what's already there, and I'd rather find a weak slab before we frame on it than after.
What matters on a sunroom job in Upland
Building permits in Upland go through the city's Building and Safety Division, and your start date waits on that permit, so the sooner the application goes in, the sooner our crew can begin. Licensed contractors working in the city also need a current Upland business license, which is a fair thing to ask any contractor to show you before you sign. We're licensed and fully insured, and when your job needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections with the city.
We're a sunroom contractor based in Rialto, and I drive over to measure every Upland job myself, the same way we work in Grand Terrace and the other cities around us. Your price mostly turns on whether the slab you have can carry a room, how big the room is, and whether it's a three season room or one built for use all year. The estimate visit is where you get your own number.

Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Most Upland calls start with a covered patio that's already there, so we check whether the slab and cover can carry walls and glass before we plan anything around them. If they can, we close it in and tie it to the house, and if they can't, I'll tell you up front.
Patio enclosures
Some homeowners here want the patio closed in without turning it into a full room, often on a newer tract home with a solid slab. We build walls and windows around what you have so it keeps dust and bugs out and still opens up when you want air.
All season rooms
If you want an extra living room or office out back that you'll use every month, an all season room is the one to ask about. We build it with insulated walls and roof and tie it into the house so it works like part of the home.
Sunroom additions
Where an older Upland lot has no usable slab, or the old one is cracked past saving, the room has to start from new ground. We pour a proper foundation and frame on it, so nothing under the floor is borrowed from a patio that was never meant to hold a room.
Sunroom design
Older homes here often have rooflines, trim and siding that a stock kit doesn't match, and a room that looks tacked on bothers people for years. We plan the roof pitch, height and finish around your house before anything gets ordered.
Sunroom remodeling
Some Upland houses already have an enclosed patio from years back that leaks where it meets the house or just never got used. We fix the roof tie-in, replace tired panels and glass, and make it a room you'll actually sit in.
How it goes when you call us about an Upland sunroom
Call or send the form
Reach us at (909) 546-5002 or through the form, and we'll set a time to come out to your Upland house. You don't need anything ready but a rough idea of what you want the room for.
I measure and check the slab
I come out myself, measure, look at the slab or deck and how your house is built, and we talk through how you'll use the room, so it helps if you're home. You get a written quote after, so the number is on paper before anything starts.
We file the permit
When your job needs one, we put the permit application in with the city and follow it through. Once it's approved, we set your build date.
We build through final inspection
Our own crew builds the room, and I'm on the job with them the whole way. I stay with it through the city's final inspection, so you're not meeting the inspector on your own.
Common questions
Do I need a permit to add a sunroom in Upland?
Plan on asking before any sunroom goes up, because the projects Upland lists as needing no permit are things like fences 6 feet or less and block walls 2 feet or less, not a room added to a house. We sort that out for your address as part of the job.
How do I request a building permit in Upland?
You request it online, because the city only accepts building permit requests that way through its building permit page. The application asks you to upload the contractor's license and business license, and a PDF or a JPEG photo of each is fine. On our jobs we file it for you.
Does my older home in Upland need extra review for a sunroom?
Only if your house is a designated historic resource, and then a sunroom that changes how the outside looks needs the city's design approval, a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Planning Division. Upland has 9 local historic districts and more than 580 properties on its register, so it's worth knowing before you settle on the look of the room. If your house is on it, we plan the design with that approval in mind.
What wind and rain does a sunroom in Upland have to be built for?
The city's building page lists a design wind load of 110 mph and a design rainfall of 4 inches an hour, and those are the figures a structure here gets designed to. For a sunroom, that mostly comes down to how the roof is framed and fastened and whether the gutters can move that much water. Ask any contractor how their room handles those numbers, and I'll walk you through ours at the estimate.
How much does a sunroom cost in Upland?
Your price comes down mostly to the slab, the size of the room, how the roof ties into your house, and whether you want a three season room or one you can use all year. A slab that has to be replaced, or an older roofline that takes extra work to meet, usually adds the most. I give you a written quote after I've measured, so the number fits your house and isn't a guess.
What is the best way to turn a covered patio in Upland into a sunroom?
Start with the slab, because a patio poured for a cover isn't always ready to carry walls, glass and a heavier roof. Then decide how you'll use the room, since three season and all season rooms are built differently, and plan how the new roof meets the house, which is where most leaks start. If your slab or cover won't work, I'll tell you at the estimate rather than build on it.
