What is an all season room, and is it right for your house?
An all season room in Mead Valley is a sunroom added to your house and closed off from the rest of it, with its own heating and cooling, so it stays comfortable through hot afternoons and cold nights instead of just a few mild months.
Most people who call me have a patio, deck or slab out back that only gets used part of the year, and before we talk price I'll ask how you want to use the room, because that decides almost everything else. The price moves with the size, the roof, how much glass you want, the heating and cooling setup and the shape of the slab or deck we're building on. The schedule mostly turns on the county permit and on whether your base is ready to build on or needs work first. You get your own figure in a written estimate after I measure and walk you through the options.
How do you know your patio is ready to become an all season room?
The patio sits empty
You've got a covered patio, but by early afternoon it's too hot to sit under, and on winter evenings it's too cold. That usually means the space needs walls and its own heating and cooling, not a bigger cover, and every season you wait is another one of paying for a space nobody uses.
A glass room you can't heat
Your enclosure is nice in spring, but in summer and winter you're running fans and space heaters to make it bearable. That usually means it was built as an unheated room, and adding portable units each year costs money without ever making it comfortable.
The back door stays open
You leave the sliding door open so the house air conditioning reaches the patio room. Your system ends up cooling a space it was never sized for, so the rooms inside get warmer and the bill climbs the longer it goes on.
Other rooms worth comparing
Enclosed patio rooms
A good fit when you mostly want shelter from wind, dust and bugs and can live without heating or cooling.
Solarium installation
Worth a look if light matters more to you than shade and you'd like glass overhead too.
How we build an all season room
I start by asking how you'll use the room, then I check the slab, deck or patio cover it'll sit on, because a cracked or sloped base has to be dealt with before anything goes on top. We plan the room as its own space, closed off from the house, with its own heating and cooling, and we decide where that equipment goes before any walls are framed so the wall opening, the power and the drain line are planned in rather than cut in later. Then our crew frames the room, ties the roof into your house, sets the glass and seals every joint, since a room that leaks air can't hold its temperature.
Not everyone needs a room this complete. If you want the patio closed in but don't plan to heat or cool it, an enclosed patio room is usually the simpler build. If you want as much glass and sky as you can get, including overhead, look at solarium installation, and know that more glass means more sun to cool against.
Built on your existing slab
This suits homes with a solid patio slab, often under an old cover, because the room can go right where you already sit. I look the slab over first, since the walls and roof will rest on it for as long as the room stands.
Insulated solid roof
This suits most homes out here, because a solid roof keeps the midday sun off and makes the room much easier to keep cool. You still get plenty of light through the walls of glass.
Glass roof panels
This suits people who want the room bright from above and are willing to cool against more sun to get it. We'll talk through where the equipment goes so it can keep up with the extra heat.

The owner measures, crew builds
I do the first visit, the measuring and the estimate myself, then our own crew does the build and I check the work at each stage. The person who planned your room with you is the same one making sure it gets built that way.
Commercial glass work came first
I spent years installing commercial windows and storefront glass, then started building sunrooms here in 2021 after learning framing and roof tie-ins next to an experienced sunroom builder. A room that has to hold its heating and cooling depends on tight glass and clean seals, and that's the part of the job I know best.
Licensed and fully insured
Mead Valley Sunrooms & Patios is licensed and fully insured. Ask about it at the first visit, because a room tied into your house isn't something to take anyone's word on.
Riverside County permits, filed for you
Mead Valley is unincorporated, so Riverside County handles permits and setbacks here, and when your room needs a permit we prepare and file the application, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector. I also check your zone's setback rules, the space you have to keep from the property line, in the county zoning ordinance before drawing the room so it fits your lot.
On an all season room, what matters most is settling where the heating and cooling go and how the room closes off from the house before anything gets built. Contact us or call (951) 418-3035 to set up a visit.
What happens after you call about an all season room?
Call or send a message
Call (951) 418-3035 or use the form, and we'll set up a time for me to come see the space. Tell us whether you have a slab, a deck or a cover now so I know what to look at.
I measure and explain options
I come out, measure, look at the slab, deck or cover you have now and walk you through the room types, heated and unheated. Then you get a written estimate for your room, so you know what you're buying and what it costs before you decide anything.
We handle permits and build
Once you're ready, we take care of the permit side and our crew builds the room. The county's review usually sets the start date more than anything else, so we schedule the crew once that clears.
Walk through the finished room
When it's done, we walk through the room with you so you know how to care for it. Every room we build is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Common questions
How much does an all season room cost in Mead Valley?
A sunroom in the Riverside area usually costs about $95 to $130 per square foot, and that's a figure for sunrooms in general, so treat it as a starting point. An all season room also needs its own heating and cooling and a tight seal from the house, so the written estimate from my visit is the number to plan with.
How is an all season room different from a regular sunroom?
An all season room is sealed off from the house and heated or cooled by its own system, while the industry's sunroom specification treats a room with glass or plastic openings and no heating or cooling as something other than living space. If you want to heat or cool the room, plan for the sealed-off type from the start, because it changes the walls, the door to the house and where the equipment sits.
How much can a contractor ask for up front in California?
In California, a contractor can't ask for or accept a down payment of more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less. After that, the state contractors board requires later payments to be listed in the contract and tied to work completed or materials delivered, so you pay as the job moves forward and your money never gets too far ahead of the work.
How do I find out if my sunroom needs a permit in Mead Valley?
Ask Riverside County's permit process advisor for District 1, who serves Mead Valley at 951-955-3219. The county's permit list names patios and room additions rather than all season rooms by name, so the advisor can tell you what your room needs, and the county takes permit applications through its online portal.
What license does a sunroom contractor need in California?
The state licensing board's B General Building license covers contractors whose main business is structures that take at least two unrelated building trades, which is the kind of job an all season room with framing, roofing and glass usually is. Ask any contractor which license they hold before you sign anything.
How do I take care of an all season room?
One maker's owner guide suggests a yearly look at the roof and gutters, keeping the weep holes, the small drain openings, clear, and cleaning door and window tracks with a pure silicone spray, since oil-based lubricants tend to attract dirt. The same guide says fog on the inside of the glass comes from too much moisture in the room and shows most when the seasons change, while dew on the outside is normal and means the glass insulates well.
