How do you know your patio needs walls?
Dust on everything outside
If you wipe down the table and cushions every time you want to sit out, wind is coming straight through the open sides. Leave it, and the patio stays a place you clean instead of a place you use.
Bugs drive you inside
When evenings end early because of mosquitoes and gnats, the open sides are usually the whole problem, and screen walls may be all you need. Waiting means another summer of eating indoors with a patio right outside the door.
Afternoon sun on one side
A cover keeps the noon sun off, but low afternoon sun still slides in under the edge on the west or south side. Until that side gets a wall or a panel, the hottest part of the day is the part you can't use.
What is an enclosed patio room, and which kind fits your yard?
An enclosed patio room in Woodcrest, CA is a patio with walls added, which sets it apart from a plain patio cover that's only a roof. The walls keep out wind, dust, bugs and low sun, and you choose how open each one stays and whether it's filled with screen, clear panels or glass.
Most people who call me have a patio they barely use and aren't sure whether they need screens, a full four season sunroom or something in between, and I'd rather find you the simplest room you'll really use. The price moves with how much wall you're adding and what fills the openings, since screen usually costs least and glass most, and with whether your slab and any existing cover can carry the walls or need work first. The schedule usually turns less on the build than on the permit and inspections with Riverside County Building & Safety and the wait for panels or glass, and your written estimate spells out the room type and everything it includes.
Details to note before an estimate
- Rough size of your patio
- Which sides you want walled in
- Screen, clear panels or glass
- Any patio cover already there
How we build an enclosed patio room
We start by walking through how open you want each wall and what fills the openings, whether that's screen, clear panels or glass, because that choice decides how the room feels in July and a good part of what it costs. Then I look hard at what the room will sit on, the slab and any cover already there, because a patio that doesn't sit quite square is the kind of job we've been taking on since I opened in Woodcrest in 2013, and it's far easier to solve on paper than halfway through framing. Our crew sets the posts and framing, closes in the walls to the plan, fits the screens, panels or glass, and cleans up before we walk the room with you.
Some yards call for something else, and I'll tell you when they do. If you want glass overhead as well as on the sides, solarium installation is the closer fit, and if shade is all you're after, a roof with no walls through our patio cover installation is the simpler answer.
Other ways to get more from your patio
Solarium installation
Pick this when you want a bright room that fills with daylight and sky from every side and from above.
Patio cover installation
If you mainly want the patio out of the sun and don't need walls, a cover alone often does the job for less.
What happens when you call us about an enclosed patio room?
Call or send the form
Call (951) 386-3407 or fill in the form, and we'll set a time for me to come out, whether you're in Woodcrest, Riverside or another city around it. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7 AM to 9 PM and weekends 6 AM to 9 PM.
I visit and ask questions
I come out myself, look at the house and what the room would sit on, and ask how you plan to use the space. Expect more questions than pitch, because your answers decide how open the walls should be.
Get a written estimate
You get a written estimate that spells out the room type and what's included, so you can see exactly what you're paying for. When the job needs a permit we take care of that side, and a design beyond the county's standard patio cover drawings can add a plan review before work starts.
We build, I check stages
Our own crew does the build, and I check the work at each stage before an inspector sees it. That matters because partial inspections or corrections bring extra county fees.
Questions before you book an enclosed patio room
Does an enclosed patio in Woodcrest need a permit?
Plan on one, because the county issues building permits for enclosed patios, and we handle the application with the office for your address. On the county's patio cover permits, Land Use checks setbacks and height, and a home on septic has to show the system and its setbacks to the cover. That's why where the room sits on your lot matters from the first sketch.
How do I know if a contractor is licensed to build an enclosed patio in California?
Ask for their state license, because anyone in California who contracts work worth $1000 or more in labor and materials combined has to hold a current, valid license from CSLB, the state contractor board. The state's awning contractor class covers patio covers but leaves out patio enclosures, so it's worth asking which class a contractor holds. We're licensed and insured, and I'm glad to go over it at the estimate.
What can the open walls of an enclosed patio be made of?
Screens, clear acrylic panels or glass, and any glass has to meet safety glazing rules, according to the City of Hayward's patio handout. That handout, from another California city, also says a walled enclosure still counts as outdoor space and wants the longest wall and one more kept mostly open. The rules for your own home come from the county, so we check them for your address before we settle the design.
How much does an enclosed patio room cost in Woodcrest?
The cost comes down to how much wall you add, what fills the openings and what shape your slab and cover are in, so your real number comes from the written estimate. Screen walls usually land lowest and glass highest, and wiring for lights or a fan or a slab that needs work first adds to it.
What does a Riverside County inspection check on a patio project?
On a patio cover, the county's first inspection checks setbacks, footings and forms, and the second covers framing, any rough electric and the final. Either visit can be in person or virtual, and our crew gets the work ready before each one.
How do I check if my Woodcrest home is in a fire hazard zone?
Type your address into the state's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map viewer, which shows whether your property sits in a zone in the State Responsibility Area. There isn't one answer for all of Woodcrest, so check your own lot and bring the result to the estimate so we plan the room with the full picture.
