Cabins and mountain homes across Wrightwood

Wrightwood sits up in the mountains above the High Desert, and it feels different from the desert cities below it. Most homes we see here are cabins and mountain houses on sloped, wooded lots, a lot of them older, with a raised deck or a small patio off the back that the owner wishes they used more. We come up from Oak Hills for this work, and we do the same kind of rooms just below in Piñon Hills and down the pass in San Bernardino.

That ground shapes the job. A room on a slope sits on posts and footings that have to be checked or rebuilt, an older house wall has to be opened up enough to tie in right, and the cold nights usually push people toward insulated glass over a simple screen.

Our services in Wrightwood, CA

  • Plenty of homes here have a raised deck built out over the slope, and it's usually the spot people want to use more. Before we enclose one, I check the posts, footings and framing, because a deck built for a few chairs isn't always built to carry walls, glass and a roof.

  • Nights in Wrightwood run cold for much of the year, so most people up here want a room that works past summer. A four season room uses insulated glass and walls and ties into your home's heat, so it's part of the house in every month.

  • If you want the pine air without the bugs, a screen room keeps the porch open and the pests out for a lot less than glass. We pitch the roof to shed water and needles away from the house so it stays easy to keep clean.

  • A lot of older cabins here have a sunroom or enclosed porch that's drafty, leaky or just tired. We reseal it, replace failing glass or panels and redo the roof where it needs it, with the drainage getting as much attention as the looks.

  • Under tall pines, a ground-level patio catches needles, sap and the afternoon sun. A patio cover gives you shade and a cleaner place to sit, and we set its posts on footings sized for your slope and soil.

  • Many mountain homes here are on the small side, and a sunroom addition is often the simplest way to gain a room you'll actually live in. We tie it into your house wall with flashing, the metal and membrane that keep water out of that seam, so the joint stays dry.

What happens when you call us about Wrightwood

  1. Call or send a request

    You call (760) 490-0317 or use the form, and we set a time for me to come up to your place. It helps if you're home so you can show me how you want to use the room.

  2. I measure and check the base

    I measure, look at the deck or slab and the house wall it ties into, and answer questions until the plan makes sense to you. Then I write an estimate that spells out what's in it and read it back with you, so you know what you're paying for before anything starts.

  3. We pull permits and build

    Once you say yes, we line up the county permit and the materials, and the schedule mostly turns on those two. Our installers build the room with the inspections where they belong, and I check in along the way.

  4. Walk the finished room together

    We walk the room with you and check the seals, the drainage and how the doors and windows run. I show you the bit of upkeep that helps it stay sealed and draining right for years.

Wrightwood sunroom questions answered

How do I get a permit for a sunroom in Wrightwood?

You get it from San Bernardino County's Building and Safety office, because the county serves Wrightwood. Its permit list covers additions and alterations, new structures over 120 square feet and re-roofing, so a new room on your house or a new roof on an old sunroom falls on it, and setbacks from your property lines have to be kept whether a permit is needed or not. We pull the permit and set up the inspections for you, and if you'd like to ask first, the office takes questions on whether a project needs one.

Does a sunroom contractor in Wrightwood need a state license?

Yes, in almost every case. The California Contractors State License Board requires a license when a project needs a building permit, uses employees or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a bigger job can't be split up to get under that line. The county doesn't issue business licenses for its unincorporated areas, so there's no county license to look for, and we're licensed and insured.

Which building code applies to a new sunroom in Wrightwood?

The code your room has to meet is set by the date your permit application reaches the county. State law has the county enforce the latest California Building Standards Code, and applications going in now fall under the 2025 edition, in effect since January 1, 2026. If you have plans drawn a few years back, expect some changes before they're filed.

How deep do sunroom footings need to be in Wrightwood?

If your lot is in the county's Mountain Region, foundations there have to be designed to an 18-inch frost line depth. That depth is about keeping footings below ground that freezes and moves in winter. I check which rule your address falls under, and how deep your existing deck posts go, before we plan anything on top of them.

How much does a sunroom cost in Wrightwood?

The price comes down to the room's size, the glass and insulation you pick, and what the deck or slab underneath needs before we build. A screen room over a sound patio costs far less than an insulated room on a raised deck that needs new footings, and the permit and inspections add to any job. The on-site estimate gives you the figure for your own room.

How long does a sunroom permit last in San Bernardino County?

A county permit expires if work hasn't started within 12 months of being issued, or if work stops for 12 months after it starts. The building official can grant a 180-day extension on a written request that shows a good reason. That's one reason we line up materials around the permit, so the clock isn't something you have to watch.
