What does it take to enclose a patio in Temescal Valley?
A patio enclosure in Temescal Valley puts a roof and walls around the patio you already have. The walls are either insect screening, for a screened room, or fully enclosed, for a year-round room that joins your house.
Most folks who call me have a bare patio, an old deck or a cover that's seen better days, and they want a room they'll actually use. The price moves with the size, screened versus year-round, the roof you pick and the shape the slab and house wall are in. The schedule turns on those same choices, plus any permit the job needs. If all you really want is shade, patio cover installation may be enough, and I'll tell you so. Either way, the written estimate puts your own figure in plain words.
How we build your patio enclosure
First we settle whether it's a screened room or a year-round room, because that decides almost everything after it. Then comes the roof. Some folks want aluminum and some want shingles that match the house, and if you want the match, we frame that roof on site so it ties in with the rest of your home. After that our crew checks and preps the base, sets the frame, puts in the walls, doors and windows, closes up the roof and cleans up before we call it done. On a year-round room, we bring in licensed trades for any electrical or heating and cooling work.
If your patio has odd angles or you want a room shaped around how you live, our custom sunrooms work starts from your space and goes from there. When there's no slab worth building on, the job becomes sunroom construction from the footings up.
Patio enclosure permits and licensing in Temescal Valley
Temescal Valley is an unincorporated community, so permits here come from Riverside County's Building and Safety Division and not a city hall. The county's permit list names patios and room additions but doesn't name patio enclosures, so whether your job needs a permit is the county's call, and I won't guess at it for you. When the work needs one, we put together the plans and paperwork, file them and are there for the inspections. We work across this part of Riverside County, and on jobs in Corona or Norco it's the city's building office instead, which we handle the same way. Most of what we're asked to enclose around here is a slab off the back of the house, sometimes under an older cover that has to come off first.
Be careful who you hire for this one. California's D-3 license covers awnings and patio covers, but the state licensing board says patio enclosures aren't part of that class, so ask any bidder which license they hold. The state lets unlicensed workers take jobs up to $1,000, but only when the work needs no permit and they have no one working for them on it.

Call or send a request
Call (951) 336-8162 or use the form, and we'll get back to you to set a time for me to come out. A few photos of the patio help me show up with the right questions.
I measure and look it over
I measure the patio, check the slab or base the room will sit on and see how it meets your house wall. Then we talk about how you plan to use the room, because that's what decides screened or year-round.
Read your written estimate
You get the price written in plain words, with the room type, the roof and what's included spelled out. Nothing starts until you say go, so take the time you need with it.
We file, build and walk it
Once you say go, we handle any permit paperwork and our own crew builds the room. When it's finished, I walk through it with you.
Why Temescal Valley homeowners call Temescal Valley Sunrooms & Patios for patio enclosures
I do the measuring myself
I come out to look at the job and take the measurements, and I'm on site running it while our crew builds. You deal with the same person from the first visit to the last walk-through.
Learned on patio enclosures
I learned this trade building patio covers and enclosures when I was young, then started this business in 2023 after years in other work. I came back because I missed building something you can stand in.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured. On a job where the license class matters as much as it does with enclosures, that's something you shouldn't have to wonder about.
County or city office sorted first
We're based in Temescal Valley, where the county handles permits, and we work in nearby cities that run their own building offices. We figure out which office your address goes to before a plan gets drawn.
What matters most on an enclosure is picking the right room before you sign, and I'd rather talk you into a smaller job than sell you the wrong one. Tell us about your patio and we'll set up a visit.

Questions about patio enclosures in Temescal Valley
What is the difference between a screened room and a year-round room?
A screened room has open or screened walls and isn't heated or cooled, so it stays outside your home's living space. A year-round room has enclosed walls, opens to the house and is built to be heated or cooled as living space. An industry sunroom specification also holds a year-round room's windows and doors to added requirements for air leakage, water getting in and heat loss, which is why it's the bigger build.
What kind of roof can a screen patio enclosure have?
One enclosure maker says a screen enclosure can have an aluminum roof or a stick-built roof with shingles that match your house. That maker also says a local contractor is the person to talk to about the stick-built option. I'll go over both at the estimate and show you what each one means for your patio.
How much can a contractor ask for up front in California?
California's licensing board limits the down payment on a home improvement job to $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less. The board ties later payments to work already done or materials delivered to your home, so ask for a contract that lists every payment. A request for more than that before work starts falls outside the board's rule.
Who handles building permits in Temescal Valley?
Riverside County's Building and Safety Division handles them, because Temescal Valley is an unincorporated community and not a city. Since the county's list doesn't name patio enclosures, ask the county about your job. When it does need a permit, we file it and meet the inspector, as covered above.
How much does a patio enclosure cost in Temescal Valley?
Your price comes from your patio and the room you want, so the real figure is the one on your written estimate. A year-round room costs more than a screened room, a framed shingle roof takes more work than aluminum, and a bigger footprint or a base that needs repair adds to it. Tell me how you'll use the room and I'll price the version that fits.
How do I take care of a patio enclosure?
One enclosure maker's care guide suggests checking the roof and gutters once a year, keeping door and window tracks clean inside and out, and keeping the weep holes, the small drain openings in the frame, clear so water gets out. For the tracks, the guide says to use a pure silicone spray, not an oil-based lubricant, which tends to pull in dirt.
Other work that pairs with an enclosure
Custom sunrooms
When a standard layout won't suit your yard or the way you'll use the room, we can design one around both.
Sunroom construction
If there's no slab to build on, or the one you have won't carry a room, we can build it from the ground up.
