Temescal Valley's newer homes and their back slabs
Temescal Valley sits along the 15 between Corona and Lake Elsinore. It's an unincorporated stretch of Riverside County made up mostly of homes in planned neighborhoods, with shopping near the freeway and the hills right behind a lot of backyards.
Most of the houses went up in the last couple of decades and are built pretty much alike from street to street, which helps us. When I see a slab patio and a stucco back wall here, I usually know how a room will tie in before I've climbed the ladder, but I still check, because a builder's patio isn't always poured to carry walls.
Working in Temescal Valley under county rules
Temescal Valley isn't a city, so there's no city hall to get a permit from. When a sunroom here needs one, it goes through Riverside County's Building and Safety Department, so your schedule runs on the county's plan review, not ours. Before you hire anyone, look them up with the state's contractors board. The county doesn't issue business licenses, so also ask whether they're registered for its Stormwater Compliance Program, which every business in the unincorporated county has to join.
We draw the plans, file them with the county and meet the inspector, so you aren't the one chasing paperwork. The price moves mostly with the room's size, glass or screen, the roof and how it ties into yours, and what the room sits on, since a sound slab costs far less to build on than new footings. The schedule turns on the county's review and on whether the base needs work first, and the written estimate spells out your price in plain words. We do the same work down the freeway in Lake Elsinore and the cities around it.
What do Temescal Valley backyards need most?
A lot of the covers and decks out here are original to the house. By now the wood covers are checking and sagging, and the aluminum ones look tired. Homeowners call wanting a real room instead, and the first thing I ask is whether the old posts and beams are worth keeping, since building a room on a weak frame just hides the problem.
On the sloped lots the backyard is often a raised deck, and that changes the job because a deck built for chairs and a grill wasn't built to hold walls, glass and a roof. We check the footings and framing before we price a conversion, and if they won't carry it, I'll tell you straight.

Sunroom work we do in Temescal Valley
Sunroom additions
Most houses here have space off the back for one of our sunroom additions, built on a sound base and tied into the existing roofline. We frame it, roof it and finish it so it looks like part of the house, not something bolted on later.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
The builder's slab out back is often the easiest starting point for a room, as long as it's thick enough and level enough to carry walls. We check it first, then build on it or tell you what it needs.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Raised decks on the sloped lots can become a room, but only after we've looked hard at the footings and joists. If they'll carry it, we reinforce and build, and if they won't, we talk about rebuilding the base.
Patio enclosures
If you want the patio closed in without a full addition, an enclosure under your existing cover keeps the bugs and leaves out. We check the cover first, because an enclosure is only as good as the roof it hangs under.
Patio cover installation
Plenty of the original covers here are worn out, and some folks just want a solid new one before they think about walls. We build covers that can take an enclosure later if you change your mind.
Screen room installation
For homeowners who want air moving through and the bugs kept out, a screen room is a smaller job than glass and often the right one. I'd rather build you that than a four-season room you won't use.
How it works when you call us in Temescal Valley
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. Pick a time that works for you, since you'll want to be home for the visit.
I measure and we talk
I come out myself, measure, and look at the slab or deck the room will sit on and the wall it'll meet. Then we talk about how you plan to use the room, because that matters as much as the tape measure.
Estimate, plans and permit
You get a written estimate with the price in plain words, and nothing moves until you say go. Then we draw the plans, file with the county and wait on its review before we start building.
We build and walk it
Our own crew builds the room with me running the job, licensed trades handle any wiring or heating and cooling, and we're there for the county's inspections. When it's done, we walk the finished room with you.

Questions about sunrooms in Temescal Valley
How do I know if my sunroom in Temescal Valley needs a permit?
The county decides that for your address, and we check it for your job before we draw a plan. The county's handout of work that needs no permit lists things like painting, flooring, cabinets and like-for-like window swaps that keep the same framing size, and the Building and Safety Department has the current list. When your room does need a permit, we prepare the plans and file them.
Does a small roof repair need a permit in Temescal Valley?
The county handout lists roof repairs under 25% of the legally existing roof area as needing no permit, as long as there's no framing work and it's done no more than once in a 12-month period. Framing work falls outside that line. If we're tying a new room into your roof, we sort that out with the county before work starts.
When does a contractor need a state license in California?
California requires a state contractor's license when the job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. That covers just about any sunroom, so look up your contractor with the state licensing board before you sign. We're licensed and fully insured.
How do I check my fire hazard zone in Temescal Valley?
Enter your address on the state fire marshal's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map, which rates wildfire hazard by property. That viewer covers the areas the state is responsible for, and the county was required to adopt its own local zones for the rest of the unincorporated area. It's something I ask about at the visit.
How much does a sunroom cost in Temescal Valley?
I can't give you an honest number until I've seen the base and the house wall, because those swing the price more than anything else. A slab or deck that needs work first, or a roof tie-in that's tricky, costs more than a room that goes up on solid ground. The written estimate after my visit gives you the figure for your house.
Can a sunroom go on my existing patio slab in Temescal Valley?
Often, yes, if the slab is in good shape and was poured thick enough to carry walls and a roof. I check its edges, cracks and level at the visit. If it needs new footings or other work first, that goes in the estimate before you decide.
