I measure your patio or deck and check whether the slab can carry a room.
Request an estimateLa Verne: older homes, backyards ready for rooms
La Verne sits right up against the San Gabriel Mountains, and from a lot of backyards here the foothills are part of the view, which is worth thinking about before you decide where the glass goes. Around Old Town, single-family and multifamily homes sit side by side, and the newer houses there take their cues from the Victorian and craftsman homes along 3rd Street.
Farther out, we mostly see single-story homes with a covered patio or a bare slab behind them, much like the calls we get from Claremont next door. On those lots the job usually starts with what's already there, because a slab or deck built for patio furniture often needs work before it can hold walls and a roof.
Working in La Verne: permits, review and what sets the price
In La Verne, the city's Building and Safety staff issue the permit for a sunroom, check the plans and inspect the work, and whether Planning has to review the room first is what moves the schedule most, since the building permit follows that approval. When a job needs a permit, we prepare the plans, handle the city paperwork and keep you posted on where it stands, and I'll tell you at the estimate who's pulling it. Before you hire anyone here, ask to see their La Verne business license.
Around Old Town, the blocks near D and Third Streets fill up for events like the Cool Cruise Car Show and the Holiday Stroll, so we plan deliveries around them. The price turns on the room's size, the glass and insulation, whether your slab or deck can carry walls and a roof, and how the new roof ties into the house, and your own number comes from the estimate visit. It's the same work we do in Pomona and Chino Hills, though each city runs its own permit process.
Services in La Verne, CA
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Covered patios are the most common starting point we see behind La Verne homes, and turning one into a room is most of what we do. We build the walls, glass and roof the room needs on top of what's already there, or replace the parts that won't hold up.
All season rooms
If you want a room you'll use every month of the year, an all season room with insulated walls, roof and glass is the one to build onto your La Verne house. We match the heating and cooling to the room so you're not paying to condition more space than you'll use.
Three season sunrooms
If you mostly want a bright, bug-free spot to sit with the mountains in view, a three season room costs less to build and to run than a full room. I'll tell you at the estimate if that's the better fit, because a porch is fine when a porch is all you need.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Raised decks behind La Verne homes were usually built for chairs and a grill, not for walls and a roof. We check the framing and footings first, then reinforce or rebuild whatever the new room has to sit on.
Custom sunrooms
The craftsman and Victorian-style houses around Old Town need a sunroom with a roofline, trim and windows that belong to the house. We design the room around those lines instead of bolting a standard kit to the back wall.
Patio cover installation
Plenty of backyards here still have a slab with no shade over it. We frame and size the cover so it can carry walls later if you decide you want a full room.

Frequently asked questions
Who issues building permits for a sunroom in La Verne?
The City of La Verne's Building and Safety staff issue building permits, check the plans and inspect the structure. Most projects that need Planning approval also need a building permit, and some need only the building permit, which is why the city tells owners to ask its Community Development department before they build. We'll work out which applies to your room at the estimate.
How do I know if my La Verne sunroom needs Planning review?
It mostly comes down to whether the room can be seen from the street. A first-floor addition or patio cover that Planning finds isn't visible from the street or right of way can get over-the-counter approval, while a second-floor addition, a balcony or an addition Planning can see from the street goes through the city's Development Application. Either way, the building permit comes after Planning signs off.
Does changing the stucco or siding for a sunroom in La Verne need Planning approval?
Yes, the city sends exterior remodels that change siding, stucco, stone or other architectural materials or design through the Development Application. That matters when a room ties into the back wall, so I'll look at how the room meets your house at the estimate and tell you if the plan touches the outside finish.
Does a sunroom contractor need a business license in La Verne?
Yes, every business working in La Verne has to get a city business license before it starts. A contractor without a fixed place in La Verne carries the certificate and shows it on request, so ask any contractor, us included, to show it before work begins.
How much does a sunroom cost in La Verne?
We can only price a La Verne sunroom after seeing the space, because two rooms the same size can cost very different amounts depending on what they sit on and how they're built. A three-season room on a sound slab runs less than an insulated room that needs new footings and a roof tied into the house, and I'll tell you straight which one your space and plans call for.
What is the best way to turn a covered patio into a sunroom in La Verne?
Start by checking whether the patio cover and slab can carry walls, glass and a heavier roof, because a lot of them were built for shade, not for a room. Then decide up front whether you want a three-season room or one you'll heat and cool, since insulation and what goes under the floor are much harder to change later.
