Rural homes and open lots across Nuevo
Nuevo is a rural community east of Lake Perris and the city of Perris, with the usually dry San Jacinto River running along its northern side. The homes we visit here tend to sit on roomy lots, often one story, with a concrete patio, a wood deck or an aluminum patio cover out back that has taken years of sun. Most people who call want that space to work harder, either as a shaded spot to sit out of the bugs and dust or as a real room they can use in the middle of summer.
Those slabs, decks and covers went in at different times, built by different people, and most of them weren't made to hold up walls and a glass roof. So on every Nuevo visit, the first thing I check is what's under your feet, because the room can only be as solid as what it sits on.
Building a sunroom in Nuevo under county rules
Nuevo is unincorporated, so there's no city permit office involved, and the County of Riverside's building rules cover every structure here. The county requires a permit before anyone builds, enlarges or alters a building, so the permit has to be issued before we start, and getting it is part of your schedule. We prepare and file that application, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector. The county doesn't run a business license program, but any state-licensed contractor has to hold a county Business (Stormwater) Registration, so ask any contractor for that along with their state license. We're licensed and fully insured. Your price mostly turns on the kind of room you want and on whether your slab or deck can carry it as it is, and the written estimate spells out both.
A lot of homes out here sit back on long driveways off county roads, so we plan deliveries of glass and framing around how a truck can get in and turn around. If a truck or our trailer ever has to sit in the public road, that takes a separate permit the county's Transportation Department issues to businesses, so it's ours to get, not yours. We're based in Mead Valley, and we do this same work in Homeland and Menifee.

Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Plenty of Nuevo homes already have a concrete patio out back, and it's often the best place to start because the floor is already there. I check the slab's edges and thickness, then we add footings where the walls need them and build the room on top.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Many homes here have a raised wood deck off the back, and turning it into a room only works if the deck can carry walls and a roof. For a deck-to-sunroom conversion, I check the posts, beams and footings first, and we reinforce or rebuild whatever can't take the load before the room goes up.
Screen room installation
When you want the yard without the bugs and dust that come off open land, a screened room is the simplest way in. We frame it on your slab or deck and screen it in, so you can sit out in the evening in comfort.
Four season sunrooms
If you want a room you'll sit in on a summer afternoon, it needs insulated walls, insulated glass and a way to cool it. We build four season rooms tied into your house like any other room, so they can take power, heating and cooling the way the rest of your home does.
Patio cover installation
On a sunny rural lot, a solid shade cover is sometimes all a backyard needs for now. If you think you'll enclose it someday, tell me, and we'll size the posts and beams with that in mind.
Sunroom design
Out here a room might face open land, morning sun or the afternoon wind, and which walls get glass changes how the room feels. I sketch the options with you at your table, so you know how the room will look and work before we build it.

I measure and explain options
I measure, look at the slab, deck or cover you have now and walk you through screened, three season and four season rooms. Then you get a written estimate to look over on your own time.

We walk through the room with you at the end and show you how to care for the glass, screens and seals. The finished room is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Common questions
Do I need a permit to enclose my patio cover or deck in Nuevo, CA?
Yes, plan on one, because the county requires a permit to alter or enlarge a structure, and its list of permit examples names decks and patio covers on their own. Enclosing one makes it part of the house, so we draw it up as a room and file for it that way.
How do I apply for a sunroom permit in Riverside County and pay the fees?
You, your agent or the licensed contractor you hire can apply, and right now the county takes applications in person or online through PLUS Online. Fees are due within 72 hours of the invoice, or the permit is voided and you have to reapply when you're ready to pay, so it's worth having the fee ready before the invoice comes.
How much does a sunroom cost in Nuevo, CA?
The biggest thing that sets the price is the kind of room, since a screened room on a sound slab costs far less than an insulated, glassed-in four season room with power and cooling. After that it comes down to size, the glass and roof, how the room ties into your house and whether your slab or deck needs footings or framing added, and I put all of that in a written figure once I've measured.
What is the best way to build a sunroom that holds up to Santa Ana winds in Nuevo?
Tie the roof firmly into the house and anchor the walls to a foundation that can hold them, because a sunroom catches wind like a sail when the hot, dry Santa Ana winds come through each year. The county's building code is written with those winds and the faults running through the county in mind, so we build to it, and I check the tie-in and anchors at each stage.
How long does a sunroom project take in Nuevo?
Usually the wait before we build is longer than the build itself, because the design, the material order and the county permit all come first. A screened room on a sound slab moves faster than a four season room that needs footings, power and inspections along the way, and I'll lay out the order of things with your estimate.
Should I get a screened room or a four season room for my Nuevo home?
Pick by how you'll use it, because a screened room keeps out bugs and dust but not heat, while a four season room is insulated and cooled so you can sit in it on a summer afternoon. If you mostly want evenings outside, screening is plenty, and if you want another room of the house, the four season room is worth the extra cost.
