Patios and backyards across Menifee
We're based in Mead Valley, and a good share of our calls come from Menifee. Most of them start the same way. You've got a back patio, a bare slab or a deck that only gets used a few weekends a year, and you want a room out of it. Some people want screens so they can sit out in the evening without the bugs. Some want glass, insulation and heating and cooling so it works like the rest of the house. Plenty aren't sure yet, and that's fine, because how you'll use the room is the first thing I'll ask. People here like being outdoors, whether that's the trails in Menifee Hills or a walk on the Paloma Wash Trail, and a sunroom is a way to keep some of that feeling at home.
What you already have shapes the job more than anything else, here or over in Perris. A solid slab or deck can often carry a room, and an older cover may or may not tie in well, so I'd rather find that out with a tape measure in your yard than after materials are ordered.
Working in Menifee: permits, licenses and what moves the price
Building permits in Menifee come from the city's Building & Safety Division, which covers all building and construction inside the city limits, and a permit is the city's okay to start. The city's review usually sets the start date, so the schedule turns on how soon the plans go in and come back. When your room needs a permit, we prepare and file the application with the city for you. Before you hire anyone, check two things. One is a California license from the state contractors board, which applies whenever a job needs a building permit, uses any workers or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials together. The other is a Menifee business license, which every business working inside the city limits needs, good from January 1 through December 31, and the city's business license office answers questions at 951-723-3786. We're licensed and fully insured.
Price here moves on the same things it does in Moreno Valley or Canyon Lake. It's the kind of room, its size, whether we can build on your slab, deck or cover as it is, and how much glass, insulation and wiring goes in. A screened room and a heated glass room can sit on the same slab and be two very different jobs, which is why I talk about how you'll use the room before I talk about cost. You'll see your own figure on the written estimate after I've measured.

Patio-to-sunroom conversion
A lot of Menifee calls start with a concrete slab out back that's already there. We check whether it can carry walls and a roof, then build on it or tell you plainly what it needs first.
Three season sunrooms
If you want glass but don't plan to heat and cool the room like the rest of the house, three season sunrooms are the middle ground between screens and a full addition. We build them with windows that open, so the room can feel like a porch or close up when you want it to.
Screen room installation
For yards where you mostly want to sit out in the evening without bugs, a screen room is the simplest and least costly room we build. We frame it under a new or existing cover and keep your view of the yard open.
Four season sunrooms
When you want a real room you'll use every month, with insulated glass, heating and cooling, that's a four season room. It's built more like an addition, so we plan the walls, the roof tie-in to your house and the electrical with that in mind.
Patio cover installation
Some homeowners here aren't ready for walls yet and just want shade over the patio. We can build the cover so it's ready to be closed in later if you decide to.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
A raised deck off the back of the house can become a room, but only if the framing under it can take the weight. We look at the footings and joists first and tell you straight whether to build on it or rebuild.
How it works when you call us in Menifee
Call or send a message
Call (951) 418-3035 or use the form, and we'll get back to you to set a time for a free visit. Pick a time you can be home, because I'll want to walk the yard with you.
I measure and explain options
I measure, look at the slab, deck or cover you have now and walk you through the room types one at a time. Then you get a written estimate, and you don't owe anything for it.
We handle the permit side
Once you're ready, we prepare the paperwork, file it with the city and schedule the inspections. Building waits on the city's review, so we start as soon as the approval comes back.
We build and walk through
Our own crew does the build and I check the work at each stage, within the city's hours for work within a quarter mile of an occupied home, Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., not on holidays. At the end we walk the room with you so you know how to care for it.
Common questions
How do I get a building permit for a sunroom in Menifee?
Every permit submittal in Menifee goes through the city's online Menifee Permit Portal, and when your room needs a permit, we put the application in for you. We also schedule the inspections and meet the inspector, so your part is mostly looking over the plans and signing off.
Does a small roof repair on my sunroom need a permit in Menifee?
Sometimes not, because an older city handout on work exempted from permit lists roof covering repairs under 100 square feet in total within any 12 months as needing no permit. That handout is older, so check the city's current list before you count on it. Replacing a roof section or adding glass is a different job, and I'm glad to tell you which side your repair falls on when I'm out.
Do I need Planning approval in Menifee if my project doesn't need a building permit?
Yes, the same city handout says a Planning zone clearance is required even when a building permit isn't. It advises checking with the Planning Department before construction starts, which is easy to miss on smaller jobs like a patio cover. I'll bring it up at the estimate so it's on your list.
What building codes apply to a sunroom in Menifee?
Menifee enforces the current California building codes, which include the residential, mechanical, plumbing, green building, fire and energy codes. A heated, glassed-in room with wiring and heating and cooling brings more of those into play than a screened porch does, and that's one reason the two are such different jobs.
How much does a sunroom cost in Menifee?
The price comes down to the kind of room, its size and how much of what you already have we can build on, so I won't put a number on it before I've seen your yard. A screen room under an existing cover sits at the low end, a four season room with insulated glass and heating and cooling sits at the high end, and three season rooms fall in between. A slab or deck that needs work first, the roof tie-in and permits also move it, and your written estimate gives you your own figure.
How long does it take to get a sunroom built in Menifee?
The schedule turns mostly on the room you choose and the city's permit review, more than on the days our crew spends building. A screen room or patio cover is usually the quicker job, and a four season room takes longer because there's more to plan, permit and inspect. I'll lay out the order of steps at the estimate so nothing catches you off guard.
