Make the patio a real room
If your patio or deck mostly holds a grill and dust, an enclosure or sunroom turns it into a room you'll sit in most evenings, built around how you'll actually use it.

What people usually want from a sunroom
Most calls we get come down to one of two things, getting use out of an outdoor space that sits empty, or keeping the sun off a patio you already like.
Shade for the patio you use
If you like being outside but the afternoon sun drives you in, a patio cover or screen room gives you shade and fewer bugs without the cost of a full glass room.
Discuss your projectWhy homeowners hire us for their sunroom
Which room fits, on the first visit
I look at your yard, your budget and how you'll use the space, and tell you that day which kind of room makes sense, so you aren't left sorting through brochures.
The slab or deck gets checked first
A sunroom is only as good as what it sits on, so I check the base before anything else and tell you up front if it needs work, not after the walls are up.
Permits filed, inspections booked
We file the permit and book each inspection, and tell you early if the city or your HOA needs something from you, so you don't have to learn the city's system mid-project.
Sunroom contractor services in Mission Viejo, CA
Apex Mission Viejo Sunrooms and Patios is a sunroom contractor in Mission Viejo, CA, with 16 services, from screen rooms and patio covers to four season additions. Most of our calls are about a patio or deck that sits empty. The price mostly comes down to the size of the room, screen or glass walls, whether it's insulated for year-round use, and whether the slab or deck needs work before we build. The schedule turns on that base work and on the permit and inspections. The written estimate after my visit gives you the figure for your own room.
Sunroom additions
A new room joined to your house, with its roof tied into your existing roofline so rain runs off the way it should. It's the choice when you want real living space.
Four season sunrooms
Insulated walls, roof and glass so the room stays comfortable in July and January and works like any other room in the house. Good for a home office or a family room.
Three season sunrooms
Glass or vinyl windows on a lighter frame, built for spring through fall rather than the hottest and coldest weeks. It costs less than a four season room and suits evening use.
Patio enclosures
Walls and windows added around a patio that already has a cover, so you keep the space you know and gain a room that blocks wind, dust and bugs.
Custom sunrooms
For a yard or roofline that a standard kit won't fit, like an odd corner or a second-story door. We size the frame, glass and roof to your house instead.
Sunroom construction
The full build, from footing and framing to roof, glass and trim. It's for homeowners who already know they want a room and want one company to handle all of it.
Sunroom remodeling
New glass, roof panels, flooring or a better seal for a sunroom that leaks, fogs or gets too hot. Often the frame is still sound and only the worn parts need replacing.
Screen room installation
Screen walls on a frame and roof, so you get the breeze and keep out the bugs. It's the simplest room we build and a good fit for evenings outside.
Patio-to-sunroom conversion
Turns a concrete patio into a closed room. We check whether the slab can carry walls before we price it, since some need a new footing at the edge.
Deck-to-sunroom conversion
Builds a room on an existing deck once we've checked the posts, beams and footings for the extra weight of walls and roof. Some decks need reinforcing first, and we'll say so.
All season rooms
Another name for a room built to use every month, with insulated walls and roof and double-pane glass. We'll tell you if a three season room would serve you just as well.
Enclosed patio rooms
A patio closed in with solid lower walls and windows above, so it looks like part of the house from the yard. It suits you if a screen enclosure feels too open.
Solarium installation
A room with glass walls and a glass roof, for the most light you can get. We talk through shading with you, because a glass roof can run hot in summer.
Patio cover installation
A solid or lattice roof over your patio for shade without walls. It's a good first step, and a solid cover built with walls in mind can be enclosed later.
Sunroom design
Layout, glass, roof style and door placement worked out before anything is ordered, so the room fits your yard and how you'll use it. We also match the roofline to your house.
Vinyl sunrooms
Vinyl frames and panels that don't need painting and hold up to sun and sprinklers. It's a practical pick for a three season or screen room on a tighter budget.
The crew behind your sunroom
I got into this trade building screen rooms and patio covers for neighbors in Mission Viejo on weekends, and the referrals kept coming until I made it a full business in 2013. Everything I know came from real jobs, one patio and one deck at a time.
We're based in Mission Viejo and work across the Orange County cities around it, including Laguna Hills and Rancho Santa Margarita. There's more on who we are and how we work.
Licensed and insured
We're licensed and insured, so the people working at your house are covered. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job, and we'd rather you check our license before you sign than after.
I come out to every job
I measure and look over every job myself, and I'm the one you can call with questions while it's being built, so you're not passed between a salesperson and a crew.
Our own crew does the build
The people who frame, roof and glass in your room are our own crew, so the room you get is the one we talked through at your house.
Get a free on-site sunroom estimate
Send the contact form and we'll reply within one business day. I come out, measure and look over your slab or deck, then we send your estimate, free and with no obligation.
Tell us about your space
A line on the form about your patio or deck and how you'd like to use the room helps me come out ready to talk through what fits.
The right size, not the biggest
I'd rather you end up with a room you use every week than the biggest one we could sell, so if a patio cover would do the job, that's what I'll say.
An estimate you can read over
The estimate comes to you in writing after the visit, so you can go over it at home and compare it with other bids before you decide anything.

Sunroom questions we hear in Mission Viejo
These are questions that come up often about permits, inspections, licenses and picking the right kind of room.
Do I need a permit to build a sunroom in Mission Viejo?
Usually, yes. The city requires a permit from its building official to build, enlarge or alter a structure, and to add or change electrical work, so expect one for most sunroom and enclosure jobs, though the code does exempt some work. We handle the filing and inspections, and if you want to look into it yourself, start with the city's Building Services.
How soon can I get a building inspection in Mission Viejo?
The city does inspections the next business day, as long as the request is in before 4:00 PM the day before. Requests go through the city's online system, and we book each one as the work reaches that stage, so the job isn't left waiting on a slot longer than it needs to.
How do I check if a sunroom contractor is licensed in California?
Call the California State License Board at 800-321-CSLB, which is where the city tells homeowners to check. Do it before you sign with anyone, us included, and ask the contractor for the name the license is under so you look up the right one.
Does Mission Viejo require a business license for contractors?
No, the city doesn't require a business license, so a contractor without one from Mission Viejo isn't cutting a corner. The license worth checking for sunroom work is the state contractor license, through the state board above. It's a quick call and worth making before you sign anything.
Should I get a three season or four season sunroom?
Get a four season room if you'll use it in winter or as an office, and a three season room if it's mostly for spring-to-fall evenings, because it costs less and does that job well. It comes down to how often you'll sit in it, and I'll point you to the right one on the first visit.
Do I need HOA approval for a sunroom in Mission Viejo?
It depends on your association, so check its rules before you settle on a design. A lot of homes in Mission Viejo belong to an HOA. As with the permit, we tell you early if your HOA needs anything from you, so it doesn't hold up the job.
