Sunroom and patio work, up close
Sunroom contractor work in Redlands CA, room by room
Lightline Redlands Sunrooms & Patios is a sunroom contractor in Redlands, CA, and our 16 services run from screen rooms and patio covers to four season additions you can use all year. The price mostly moves with the room's size, how much glass you want, whether it's built to be heated and cooled, and whether your slab, deck or house wall needs work before we build on it. The schedule turns on that same base work and on the kind of room you pick. I measure on site and give you a written estimate that lists what's in it and what isn't.
Sunroom additions
A sunroom addition is a new glass-walled room tied into the back or side of your house, with its own roof and floor. It's for homeowners who want more everyday living space without taking on a full room addition.
Four season sunrooms
Want a room you'll use in January and August alike? A four season sunroom is built and insulated like part of the house, so it can share the home's heating and cooling.
Three season sunrooms
We build three season rooms for spring-through-fall use, with lighter framing and glass that keep wind, dust and bugs out. They suit homeowners who want a sheltered room without making it part of the heated house.
Patio enclosures
If your covered patio is too hot, dusty or buggy to enjoy, an enclosure closes it in with walls, windows and a door. We check the cover and slab first, because they'll be carrying more than they were built for.
Custom sunrooms
A custom sunroom is drawn to fit your house, your roofline and the way you'll use the room, instead of picked from a standard size. It's the right call when your yard or your roof doesn't line up with a kit.
Sunroom construction
This is the build itself, from the base the room sits on through framing, the roof tie-in, glass and trim. It's for homeowners who already have a plan and need a crew to put it up right.
Sunroom remodeling
Is your old sunroom leaking at the roof, sticking at the doors or too hot to sit in? We redo the glass, roof panels, seals or floor, and we tell you plainly when the framing underneath needs attention first.
Screen room installation
We put up screen rooms, framed rooms with screen walls instead of glass, so you get shade and a breeze without the bugs. They fit best when you want an outdoor room more than an indoor one.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
A patio-to-sunroom conversion builds a real room on the slab you already have. Before we plan anything, I check whether that slab can carry walls and a roof, because not every patio was poured for that.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Got a deck off the back you'd rather use as a room? We frame a sunroom on it once we've confirmed the posts, beams and footings, the concrete bases under the posts, can take the added weight.
All season rooms
An all season room is a year-round sunroom finished inside like a family room or office. We build it with insulated walls and roof so it's comfortable to use any month.
Enclosed patio rooms
An enclosed patio room sits between a screen room and a full sunroom, with knee walls, short solid walls under the windows, plus glass and a door. It's a good fit for a protected spot to eat, read or keep plants.
Solarium installation
A solarium has glass in the roof as well as the walls, so light comes in from above. We install them for people who want the most daylight, and we talk through shade and heat before you settle on one.
Patio cover installation
We build patio covers, a roof on posts and beams over your patio, to shade the slab and keep rain off. If you think you'll close it in someday, tell us up front, because that changes how we frame it.
Sunroom design
Not sure what kind of room you want yet? Design is where we work out the size, glass, roof style and how it ties into the house, so you understand the plan as well as we do before anything gets built.
Vinyl sunrooms
We build vinyl sunrooms with vinyl-framed walls and windows that don't need painting. They're a common pick for homeowners who want a bright room with little upkeep.
How a sunroom job goes, start to finish
You call and I come out
You call or send the form, and we get back to you within one business day. I'm usually the one who picks up. Then I come out to measure, look at the base and the house wall the room will tie into, and ask how you plan to use the room.
You get a written estimate
The estimate is free and carries no obligation. I write up what we'd build and list what's included and what isn't, so you can line it up against other bids. If you go ahead, we sort out the paperwork with the building office before the build begins.
We build, then walk it together
Our crew lead runs the build day to day, and I stop by along the way to check the parts you won't see later, like how the roof ties in and how the tracks are sealed. When it's done, you and I walk the finished room together.
Why hire us, and what we check first
Want me to take a look at your patio, deck or back wall? Tell us about your project and we'll set up a time.
We check what holds the room up first
I framed houses for years before I started building sunrooms, so the first thing I look at is the slab, deck or wall the room will lean on. Glass and finishes come after we know the base can carry it.
A written estimate you can compare
Our estimate spells out what's included and what isn't, so you can set it next to another bid and see the real difference. Nothing important is left for you to guess at.
One contact from measuring to the final walk
The person who measures your job stays your contact until it's finished, and that's usually me. You won't get handed off to someone who's never seen your yard.
We'll tell you if the base needs work first
If your deck, slab or patio cover needs repair before it can carry a room, we say so, even when that means a smaller job for us. Building on a weak base is how rooms end up leaking or sagging.
Questions we hear, answered plainly
How much does a sunroom cost in Redlands?
There's no one price, because a sunroom's cost comes down to its size, the glass, whether it's built for year-round use and what the base needs first. I measure and look at your house, then give you a free written estimate with your own number in it.
Why are sunroom bids so different from one contractor to the next?
Usually because the bids don't cover the same things. One may include base repair, the roof tie-in, electrical and cleanup while another leaves some of that out, so our estimate lists what's included and what isn't to keep the comparison fair.
How long does it take to build a sunroom addition?
It depends on the kind of room, whether the slab, deck or wall needs work first, and how long the paperwork with the building office takes before we start. We'll go over the schedule for your job when we go over your estimate.
Is Lightline Redlands Sunrooms & Patios licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. Ask about it when I come out to measure, and I'll answer plainly.
What should I have ready before a sunroom estimate?
Mostly an idea of how you want to use the room, whether that's a place to eat, an office or somewhere to sit out of the sun. If you know where outlets, hose bibs, the outdoor faucets, or drains sit near the spot, point them out, because they can change the layout.
Do you guarantee your sunroom work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. The parts I pay the most attention to are the ones you won't see once it's done, like the roof tie-in, how the base sheds water and how the tracks are sealed, because that's where rooms usually go wrong.
What's the difference between a three season and a four season sunroom?
A four season room is insulated so it can be heated and cooled like the rest of the house, and a three season room isn't. A three season room costs less and works well spring through fall, so the choice comes down to how you'll use it.
Which building code does Redlands use for a sunroom addition?
Redlands has adopted the 2025 California Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2, as its building code, with some parts changed by the city. Home projects inside the city fall under the city's code, and if you want to read the adopted text, the City Clerk's office keeps it on file.
Building sunrooms in Redlands
Redlands is our home city, and a lot of its history is still out in the open. Kimberly Crest House & Gardens, a French chateau with Italian-style gardens, has grounds open to the public to walk. A.K. Smiley Public Library has served generations of readers from its historic building, and Prospect Park and Heritage Park are among the historic parks the city bought and kept as public space.
Most of the people who call us here have a patio or deck off the back of the house and want a room they'll actually use. Since we're based in Redlands, a trip out to measure is a short one, and every house in the city gets the same careful look at the base before we talk about glass.
