Older and newer homes across Upland
Upland has older neighborhoods around downtown and newer tracts climbing toward the foothills, and the backyards change with them. Near the center we see older homes, some on raised wood floors, with a patio cover someone added decades ago. Farther north it's mostly stucco homes on concrete patios, often with a bare slab waiting for a cover or a room.
As a sunroom contractor based in Chino, we work here the same way we do in Ontario next door and over in Diamond Bar. In Upland that means starting with what's already out back, because an old cover may not be framed to carry a roof and an older slab often has no real footing at its edge. What's under the room, how big it is and whether it's glass or screen move the price most. The city's permit review and any base work move the schedule, and your written estimate spells out what we'd build and what it sits on.
Our services in Upland, CA
Lots of Upland backyards already have a slab and a cover, so patio-to-sunroom conversion is a common call here. I check whether the slab and the cover posts can take walls and a roof before we price anything, and we add footings or a new roof frame when they can't.
Older homes near downtown often have a tired patio cover that sags or leaks where it meets the house. We tear it out and put up a new cover tied properly into the house, with flashing and gutters that move water away from your wall.
When there's no slab to start from, or you want more room than the patio gives you, an addition is the better route. We pour new footings and a floor, then tie the roof into your house so the room works as part of the home.
Some older Upland homes on raised floors have a wood deck off the back door, level with the house. Most decks aren't framed to hold a room, so we look underneath first and usually rebuild the framing and footings before any walls go up.
Older sunrooms here tend to show cloudy panels, sticking doors or a roof seam that drips. We replace what's failing and fix the tie-in to the house instead of caulking over the leak and calling it done.
If you want the yard open to the air but kept free of bugs and leaves, a screen room asks less of your slab than a glass room does. We set it on your existing patio or cover when they're sound, and tell you plainly when they aren't.

What happens when you call us about a sunroom in Upland
Call us or send the form
You call (909) 413-6398 or fill out the form, and we set a time to come see the space. I come out myself, so we pick a day that works for both of us.
I measure and check the base
I measure the space, ask how you plan to use the room and look at what it would sit on, whether that's a slab, a deck or an old cover. You get a written estimate that spells out what we'd build and what it sits on, so you can see what you're paying for.
We handle the city side
Once you sign, we check with Upland's building office about your address and take care of the paperwork it asks for. We keep you posted as it moves along, so you're not chasing the city yourself.
We build, then walk it
My lead installer runs our own crew on site while the room goes up. When it's done, I walk the finished room with you and go over how the roof ties in and where the water goes.
Upland sunroom questions answered
Do I need a permit to build a sunroom in Upland?
Check with Upland's Building and Safety Division before you build, because it handles building permits here and the no-permit examples on its page are fences 6 feet or less and block walls 2 feet or less, not rooms. We check your address with the division and take care of the paperwork it asks for.
How do I request a building permit in Upland?
You request it online, because the city's Building and Safety Division takes building permit requests only online. The application asks for an upload of the contractor's license and business license, and a PDF or a JPEG photo works. When we build your room, we handle that filing.
Does my older Upland home need extra review before adding a sunroom?
It can, if your house is designated as a historic resource, because an exterior change that alters its look needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, a design approval, from the city's Planning Division. Upland has 9 local historic districts and more than 580 properties on its local register, so look on the city's historic preservation page or ask the Planning Division whether yours is one. If it is, we plan the design with that approval in mind.
What building code applies to a sunroom in Upland?
Upland builds to the 2025 California Building Code, along with the building rules in its own municipal code. The city's building page also lists a design wind load of 110 mph and a design rainfall of 4 inches an hour, which is why I pay so much attention to how the roof ties into your house and where the gutters send the water.
What makes a sunroom cost more or less in Upland?
Most of the price comes from what the room sits on, how big it is and whether you want glass or screens. A sound slab or cover keeps it down, while new footings, reframing a deck or tearing out an old cover add to it, and a historic house can add design review. Your written estimate lists what we'd build and what it sits on, so you see where the money goes.
How do I check a contractor before hiring them in Upland?
Ask for their current Upland business license and their contractor's license, because contractors working in the city need the first and the permit application asks for both. We're fully licensed and insured, and we'd tell you to ask the same of anyone you're comparing us with.
