Sunroom additions
A full room built onto the back of the house and tied into your roofline, and we check whether the existing slab can carry it before anything gets drawn.
Sunroom contractor in Aliso Viejo - rooms you'll use every week
Apex Mission Viejo Sunrooms and Patios builds sunrooms, patio enclosures, screen rooms and patio covers for homes in Aliso Viejo, CA, turning a patio or deck you hardly use into a room you'll actually sit in.
Building sunrooms in Aliso Viejo
We're a sunroom contractor based in Mission Viejo, CA, and Aliso Viejo is a short drive away, so I come out to look at every job here myself and our own crew does the build. Most of our calls, here and in Laguna Niguel and Irvine, come from homeowners with a patio or deck they hardly use who want a room they'll actually sit in.
The city's Building & Safety department sets its design criteria for building work at a rainfall rate of 2 inches an hour, Wind Exposure C and Seismic Zone D and E. For a sunroom or patio cover, that means a roof pitched and guttered to clear a hard storm, posts and connections set to hold in gusts across fairly open ground, and framing tied down for earthquakes. The city also runs its own business registration, which starts with an application posted on its forms page.
What's under the room moves the price most, then the room type, the glass and roof you pick, and the size. The schedule turns on whether the slab or deck needs work before we frame, and on the city's permit and inspection steps. Your written estimate is where you'll see your own figure.
The base gets checked first
A sunroom is only as good as the slab or deck under it, so I look at yours before we talk about walls, and I'll tell you up front if it needs work.
Permits and inspections on us
When your job needs a permit, we file it and book the inspections with the city, and we tell you early if the city or your HOA needs anything from you.
Licensed, insured, since 2013
We've been building these rooms full time since 2013, after starting with weekend jobs for neighbors, and we're licensed and insured. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Sunroom and patio work we do in Aliso Viejo
Four season sunrooms
Insulated walls, glass and roof so the room stays comfortable on a cool winter evening and a hot August afternoon, which makes it the pick if you'll use it year round.
Three season sunrooms
Lighter framing and single-pane or vinyl windows for spring through fall, which costs less than a four season room and suits a lot of the mild days we get here.
Patio enclosures
Walls and windows built around the patio you already have, often under an existing cover, after we check that the slab and the cover's posts can take the added load.
Custom sunrooms
A room shaped to an odd corner, a sloped yard or a roofline that standard kits don't fit, drawn around how you plan to use it rather than the biggest footprint possible.
Sunroom construction
The build itself, from footings and framing to glass, roof and trim, done by our own crew, so the people who set your posts are the same ones hanging your doors.
Sunroom remodeling
Fixing an older room that runs hot, leaks at the roof seams or has fogged glass, and we check the base first so we don't put new work on a bad slab.
Screen room installation
Screen walls under a solid roof for open air without the bugs, which is how I started in this trade and still the simplest way to get more use from a patio.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Turning a patio you never sit on into a room, and the first question is the slab, since an older one may need repair or a new footing before walls go on it.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Enclosing a deck means checking the joists, beams and footings underneath, because a deck built for chairs and a grill often needs more support before it carries walls and a roof.
All season rooms
A fully enclosed, insulated room meant for use every month of the year, and a good fit if you want a den or office off the kitchen instead of another outdoor spot.
Enclosed patio rooms
A simpler enclosure for a covered patio, with windows or screens you can open, when you want shade and shelter from the wind without the cost of a full addition.
Solarium installation
Glass walls and a glass roof for the most light, and we talk through heat and glare up front, because a solarium facing afternoon sun can get warm without the right glass.
Patio cover installation
A solid or lattice cover over your patio for shade, set on posts and footings sized for the cover, and often the first step toward enclosing the space later.
Sunroom design
Working out the room type, size, glass and roof with you on the first visit, so the plan fits how you'll use the room and what your slab or deck can carry.
Vinyl sunrooms
Vinyl frames that don't need painting and hold up well in strong sun, a practical choice for a three or four season room when you want low upkeep for years.
Get a written sunroom estimate for your home
Send the form and we'll reply within one business day to set up a visit. I come out, measure, look over your slab or deck, and then we send a written estimate, free and with no obligation.
Free and on site
The estimate costs you nothing and happens at your house, because I can't tell you what a room will take without standing on the slab or deck it'll sit on.
A straight answer on day one
We're known for looking at a yard and saying on the first visit what kind of room makes sense there, so you're not left sorting through a list of maybes.
No pressure to sign
There's no obligation, and I'll steer you to the room you'll use every week rather than the biggest one we could sell you, even if that means a smaller job.
Aliso Viejo sunroom questions we hear
Here are the practical questions homeowners ask about city rules, crew hours, inspections and permits for a sunroom or patio project in Aliso Viejo.
When does a sunroom project in Aliso Viejo need a Water Quality permit?
The city's permit application calls for a Water Quality permit when a project disturbs 250 cubic feet or more of soil or hard surface, includes 250 square feet of flat work like pavers or concrete, or stockpiles dirt in front of the property. A new slab for a room can reach that flat-work figure, so I check for it on the estimate visit.
What hours can a construction crew work in Aliso Viejo?
The city lists construction hours as 7am to 8pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 8pm on Saturday, and no construction is allowed on Sundays or federal holidays. We plan our crew's days inside those hours, which matters when your neighbors are a few feet away on the other side of the fence.
How do I book or cancel a building inspection in Aliso Viejo?
Inspections are booked through the city's online Customer Self-Service portal, and a request made before 4pm is set for the next business day unless another day is asked for. Cancellations go by phone to the Building Department early in the morning. We book the inspections on our jobs ourselves, so this is on our list, not yours.
Who holds the building permit for a home project in Aliso Viejo?
The city issues the permit in the name of either the licensed contractor or the property owner, and whoever is named is responsible and liable for the construction. Since that name carries the responsibility, it's worth settling before the application goes in, and we're glad to talk it through with you on the estimate visit.
