Sunroom additions
A full room tied into your house, with its own roof, windows and floor. I check the slab and the roofline first, because both decide how the addition attaches.
Sunroom contractor in Laguna Woods, CA - a patio room you'll actually use
Apex Mission Viejo Sunrooms and Patios builds sunrooms, screen rooms, patio enclosures and patio covers for homes in Laguna Woods, CA. We turn patios and decks you hardly use into rooms you'll sit in every week.
What a sunroom job in Laguna Woods involves
The City of Laguna Woods runs its own local government, and homes inside the gates of Laguna Woods Village have the Village to check with too, so early on I ask which applies to your house. The city also reports more aggressive coyote behavior that has cost people their pets and caused injuries. That's one reason a screen room or an enclosed patio appeals to people who like sitting out with a small dog.
The price of a room here turns on a few things: the type of room, its size, the glass and roof you pick, and how much work the slab or deck needs first. The schedule mostly depends on what the city or your HOA needs to sign off on, and on whether the base has to be fixed before framing starts. After I measure and look over your patio, we send a written estimate with your own number on it.
We're based in Mission Viejo and do the same work across the Orange County cities around Laguna Woods, including Laguna Hills and Rancho Santa Margarita.
I look at every job myself
I come out to every job, and the first thing I check is the slab or deck, because a sunroom is only as good as what it sits on.
Licensed, insured and Mission Viejo based
We're licensed and insured, with satisfaction guaranteed on every job. The city's business registration covers businesses with a fixed commercial location in Laguna Woods, and our base is in Mission Viejo.
Our crew, and the paperwork
Our own crew does the build. We file the permit and book the inspections with the city, and we tell you early if the city or your HOA needs something from you.
Sunrooms and patio rooms we build in Laguna Woods
Four season sunrooms
Insulated walls, glass and roof keep the room comfortable year-round. It costs more than a three season room, and it's worth it if you'll sit there daily.
Three season sunrooms
Lighter framing and simpler windows make a room you'll use most of the year without heating it, and it costs less than a four season build.
Patio enclosures
We close in the patio you already have with walls, windows and a door, often keeping the existing cover. I check that the slab and cover posts can carry it first.
Custom sunrooms
Built to the shape of your house and yard rather than a standard kit size, which helps on odd-shaped patios and tight side yards. You pick the windows, roof and finishes.
Sunroom construction
Our own crew handles the whole build, from fixing or pouring the base to framing, glass, roof and trim. One crew start to finish means fewer handoffs and fewer gaps.
Sunroom remodeling
For an older room that leaks, fogs up or sits empty, we replace windows, roof panels or flooring so it's comfortable again. Sometimes the fix starts at the base.
Screen room installation
Screen walls give you open air without bugs, and it's usually the least expensive room we build. It suits a covered patio you'd use more if it were closed in.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Most of our calls start with a patio that sits unused. I check the slab for cracks and slope first, because the room is only as level as what's under it.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
A deck can carry a room only if its posts, beams and footings are up to the extra weight. I look underneath before we talk about walls.
All season rooms
Sealed, insulated and usually wired for lights, outlets and a heating and cooling unit, so the room works like any other in your house, any month.
Enclosed patio rooms
We wall in the patio with a mix of windows, screens and solid panels. It's a middle ground between a screen room and a full sunroom that adds shade and privacy.
Solarium installation
A solarium has a glass roof as well as glass walls, so it's the brightest room we build. It takes the most care with glass choice and shading to stay comfortable.
Patio cover installation
A solid or lattice cover shades the patio and can be the first step toward a room later. We can size the posts and footings for walls so you won't start over.
Sunroom design
On the first visit I'll tell you what kind of room makes sense for your yard and how you'll use it. Then we draw it to fit your roofline and patio.
Vinyl sunrooms
Vinyl frames don't need paint and need little upkeep, which suits anyone who'd rather not maintain wood trim. It's a common pick for three and four season rooms.
Get a written sunroom estimate for your Laguna Woods home
Send the form and we'll reply within one business day to set up a visit. I'll come out, measure and look over your slab or deck, then we send a written estimate with no obligation.
Free and done at your house
The estimate is free and happens on site, because a room has to be priced against your actual patio, roofline and yard, not a photo.
No pressure, no obligation
You get a written number to compare and think over. If the room isn't right for you, or now isn't the time, that's the end of it.
Sized to how you'll use it
We'll talk through how you'd use the room, because the right fit is the one you'll sit in every week, not the biggest one we could sell you.
Questions Laguna Woods homeowners ask before building
These are the practical questions we hear from Laguna Woods homeowners about city rules, the Village and planning a sunroom.
Should I build a screen room or a four season sunroom in Laguna Woods?
Build a four season room if you'll use it every day as living space, and a screen room or three season room if you mostly want shade and open air on the patio. The four season room costs more because the glass, walls and roof are insulated. On the first visit I'll tell you which one makes sense for your yard.
Does a business in Laguna Woods have to register with the city?
Yes, if it operates from a fixed commercial location in Laguna Woods. It registers within 30 calendar days of starting business or of an ownership change, then every September, and the city's online registration form is free. Home-based businesses and 501(c)(3) nonprofits don't have to register, though home-based ones can. The city's Planning Division helps at planning@lagunawoods.gov or (949) 639-0500.
Where can I read the Laguna Woods city ordinances?
You can read them at City Hall, 24264 El Toro Road, or online in the Laguna Woods Municipal Code, which collects the city's general and permanent local laws. Ordinances that were adopted but not yet added to the code show up at City Hall and on the online code's introductory page shortly after adoption.
How do Laguna Woods Village residents get gate decals and guest passes?
Resident Services at the Community Center in Laguna Woods Village helps residents with RFID gate decals, the electronic tags for getting through the Village gates, along with annual guest passes, permits and membership applications. If you live in the Village, it's worth asking them what our crew needs to get in before the job starts.
