About Loma Linda, CA

Loma Linda is a small city that sits between Redlands to the east and Colton and San Bernardino to the west and north, with Grand Terrace just to the southwest. Most of the calls we get here come from single-family homes on quiet residential streets. A lot of them are older one-story houses with a slab patio or a wood deck out back, and there are newer homes on the slopes toward the hills on the south side of the city.

That split shapes the job before we draw anything. On the older lots the question is whether what's out back was built to carry a room, and up on the slopes it's how to set a level floor on ground that falls away from the house.

Services in Loma Linda, CA

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    Many older Loma Linda homes already have a slab patio under an aluminum or wood cover, and that's often the easiest place to start a room. We check whether the slab can carry walls and a roof, then build on what's there or shore it up first.

  • Deck-to-sunroom conversion

    On the sloped lots toward the hills, a raised wood deck is often the only flat outdoor space, so it's a natural spot for a deck-to-sunroom conversion. We size the support underneath before anything goes on top.

  • Sunroom remodeling

    Older sunrooms and enclosed patios around Loma Linda often have tired panels, sticking windows or a roof that's past its best. We sort out what's still sound from what isn't, so you may not need to start over.

  • Patio cover installation

    Some backyards here just need cover over the patio, not a full room. We build covers that tie cleanly into the house, and we can plan them so walls could be added later if you change your mind.

  • Screen room installation

    A screen room suits the homeowner who wants to sit out back without bugs but doesn't need a fully finished room. We frame it on your existing patio or deck, which keeps it simpler and lower in cost than a glassed-in room.

  • Four season sunrooms

    When a family wants the room to work as a real part of the house, like a den, a playroom or a space for a parent who's moved in, a four season room with insulated walls and roof is the better fit. We tie it into your roof and wall so it reads as part of the home, not an add-on.

What it takes to build a sunroom in Loma Linda

Building permits in Loma Linda come from the city's Building and Safety Division, part of Community Development, which also inspects the work, so plan review and inspection dates set part of your schedule along with our crew. Before you hire anyone, you can check two things: that they hold a contractor license from the state licensing board, and that they carry a Loma Linda business license, which the city requires of anyone doing business here and which a contractor can only get by showing proof of that state license. We're licensed and insured, and when your room needs a permit we confirm which office covers your address, draw up the plans, handle the paperwork and set up the inspections.

Price here turns mostly on the size of the room, on whether your slab or deck can carry it as it is, and on how finished you want it, from a screened room up to insulated walls, glass and power. The schedule usually depends more on plans and city review than on the days we're building, and the written estimate after my visit gives you the figure for your own house. We're based in Colton, a short drive from most Loma Linda streets, and we do this same work in Muscoy and the other cities around us.

Loma Linda, CA properties and local conditions

Parts of Loma Linda sit in state-mapped fire hazard zones, ranked Moderate, High or Very High, and building standards and fire safety rules apply to work in those zones. A sunroom becomes part of your house, so we check your parcel's zone before we pick the roof, walls and glass, rather than finding out at plan check.

Many of the one-story houses here have low eaves, so the new roof has to slope down from the roof edge without leaving a room that feels cramped at the outer wall. I work out that pitch, the angle of the roof, at the estimate, because a room that's too low at the far end is one you won't want to sit in. We also open up the eave and check the framing behind the stucco where the room attaches, since on older houses that's where the surprises usually are, and it's better to know before the room goes up than after.

How it goes when you call us about a Loma Linda sunroom

  1. Call us or send a request

    Call (909) 679-6010 or use the form, and we'll get back to you to set a time for the estimate. Tell us a little about the patio, deck or room you have in mind.

  2. I come out and measure

    I look at your patio, deck or slab and where the room meets the house, and I ask how you'll use the room, so it helps if you're home. You get a written estimate afterward that shows what the price is made of.

  3. We handle plans and permits

    Once you're ready, we draw the plans and put them in with the city, whose Building and Safety counter is staffed only from 8 to 10 a.m. Inspectors take calls only from 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Thursday, so we book inspections around that window instead of leaving it to you.

  4. Crew builds, then a walkthrough

    Our crew builds the room, and the city inspects it along the way when the permit calls for it. When it's done, I walk through the finished room with you and go over anything you want to look at twice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply for a sunroom permit in Loma Linda?

Permit applications in Loma Linda go through the city's Online Permit Portal. When we're building your room and it needs a permit, we put the plans and application in for you, so you don't have to learn the portal.

Does my sunroom contractor need a state license in Loma Linda?

Yes. The state licensing board licenses contractors, and any city that requires a permit also requires the contractor's signed statement that their license is in full force. We sign that statement on any permit we pull for your room.

How is the fire hazard zone set for my parcel in Loma Linda?

The city adopted the zones the State Fire Marshal recommended, based on state maps that weigh vegetation, slope, weather, crown fire potential and how embers form and travel. If your parcel falls in more than one zone, the highest one applies to the whole lot, and the City Clerk keeps the zone map and will provide it on request.

How much does a sunroom cost in Loma Linda?

There's no single number, because the cost comes from your house: the size of the room, whether it's screened, three season or fully insulated, and whether your slab or deck can carry it or needs new footings. Glass, roof panels, electrical work, how the room ties into your roofline and the plan work all add to it. I'd rather build you the room you'll use than the biggest one, and the written estimate spells out each piece so you know what you're paying for.

How do I know if my deck is strong enough for a sunroom?

Usually you can't tell by looking, because most decks were framed for people and furniture, not walls, glass and a roof. At the estimate I check the posts, footings, beams and any soft or rotted wood, and if the frame can't carry a room we'll talk through reinforcing it or setting new footings.

Does Loma Linda have requirements for adding a room to a house?

Yes, the city's forms page lists Residential Addition and ADU Requirements, and its permit page offers standard handouts for patios and for decks. We read those against your plans before anything is submitted.
