What does it take to add an all season room in Long Beach?
An all season room in Long Beach, CA is a sunroom built and insulated as part of your house, with heating and cooling, so you can use it every month instead of only on mild days.
Most of our calls come from people with a patio, a deck or a back wall that only gets used a few months a year, and often the answer is a patio-to-sunroom conversion on a slab that's already there. The price moves with the room's size, the glass, the shape of the base and the wall it joins, and how it's heated and cooled, while the schedule mostly turns on the city's permit and plan review. Your written estimate puts a plan and a number to your room.
How we build all season rooms
For an all season room we settle the heating plan and which wall the room goes on before anything else, because both change how the room is framed, wired and fitted with glass. Once those are set, we lay out the glass and roof, get the base ready, tie the frame into your house, close it in, run the wiring and the heating and cooling, and finish the inside so it feels like part of the house.
Not everyone needs a fully heated room. If you mostly want shelter from wind and sun, an enclosed patio room can do the job for less, and if you want glass overhead as well as on the sides, we also handle solarium installation.
Insulated solid roof
This is the one I steer most Long Beach owners toward, because it keeps the afternoon sun off your head and makes the room easier to heat and cool. You still get plenty of light through the walls of glass.
Glass roof panels
Glass overhead suits someone who wants the most daylight and is ready to plan for shade and cooling to match. It takes more to keep comfortable, so if you want the full glass look it's worth comparing with a true solarium.
Building an all season room in Long Beach starts with the city
In Long Beach you need a building permit to build or change a structure, and an all season room usually adds wiring and heating and cooling, which bring their own electrical and mechanical permits from the city. When the job needs them, we pull the permits and handle the paperwork with the city ourselves. Houses in a historic district or a coastal zone can face extra requirements, and at a landmark site or in a historic district the Cultural Heritage Commission reviews every change to the outside of the house, so I ask about both at the first visit, before any design starts.
A lot of the rooms we build here go onto older houses with a slab patio or a back wall that was never meant to carry a room, so I look hard at both before we price anything. We see the same kinds of houses on jobs in Lakewood and Signal Hill.
Why Long Beach homeowners call Long Beach Sunrooms & Patios for all season rooms
I come to every estimate
I come out to every estimate myself and give you a simple plan and straight answers that first day. You hear the choices from the person who'll be checking on your build, not from someone you never see again.
Building sunrooms since 2021
We've been in business since 2021, and before that I sold sunrooms across a lot of kitchen tables. That taught me what people need to know before they say yes, and that a room should be built the way it was sold.
Fully licensed and insured
Long Beach Sunrooms & Patios is fully licensed and insured. That matters here because the city looks for a state contractor's license and a Long Beach business license before it issues a contractor a permit.

Call or send a request
Call (562) 200-7450 or use the form, and tell us roughly how you'll use the room and which wall you have in mind. We set up a time for me to come out.
I measure and talk it through
I measure, look at the base and the wall the room will join, and we work through the heating plan, the glass and the roof right there. Then you get a written estimate that spells out the room and its price, so you know exactly what you're buying.
Your plans go to the city
The city can review a plain patio plan at the counter in one visit, but a room added onto a house usually needs a full plan submission. That review sets when building can start.
Our crew builds the room
Our crew lead and installers build the room on the written plan, and I check in as the job goes. That way the room you end up with is the one we talked about.
Frequently asked questions
What does an all season room cost near Long Beach?
A 200 square foot sunroom addition in the Los Angeles area usually costs about $23,000 to $66,000 per job. That's the going range across the area, not our price, and a heated, fully finished room tends to sit toward the upper part of it. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your room.
Who can get the building permit for a sunroom in Long Beach?
A contractor with a valid California State Contractor's License and an active Long Beach Business License can get it, and so can the owner of a one- or two-family home who meets the city's eligibility rules. Permits come from the city's Development Permit Center. A contractor with employees also has to show proof of workers' comp insurance when the permit is issued, which is a fair thing to ask any bidder about.
How much can a contractor ask for up front on a sunroom in California?
State rules cap the down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. Any other payments have to be listed in the contract and tied to work already done or materials delivered to your house, so a bid asking for a bigger deposit is worth questioning.
Which way should an all season room face in Long Beach?
National design guidance says that in cooling climates, north-facing windows and well-shaded south-facing windows are particularly effective. Glass that gets full sun can be helped with trees and plants, overhangs, shutters or solar window screens, which is why the wall is one of the first things we pick with you.
What is the best way to heat and cool an all season room?
You either extend your home's existing system or add a new one for the room, and state energy rules set the bar for each. Extending the house system means the new ducts have to meet insulation and leakage rules, while a new system for the addition has to meet all the heating and cooling rules for a new home. I look at what your current system can carry at the estimate so the choice is made before design.
How do I choose between a three season and an all season room?
Choose by how you'll use it, because an all season room is built to be heated, cooled and lived in year-round while a three season room is meant for the milder months. The industry's sunroom specification sorts rooms into categories by intended use, and each category has its own minimum performance requirements, so that one decision shapes how the whole room is built.
