Expert Sunroom Contractor in Corona CA - Turn Your Patio Into Living Space

The bulk of Corona's housing stock was built during two growth spurts: the 1980s suburban expansion and the early 2000s building boom. That puts most homes in the city between 20 and 40 years old - an age where original roofing underlayment, concrete flatwork, and exterior sealants are at or past their typical service life. For patio and sunroom work specifically, this matters because the covered patio slabs on homes from the 1980s were often poured with lighter reinforcement than what current code requires for an addition. A contractor who quotes a job in Corona without assessing the existing slab is guessing at the foundation scope, and that guess often becomes a change order after work begins.

The climate in Corona creates challenges that do not exist in coastal cities. Summer highs regularly top 100 degrees Fahrenheit, Santa Ana winds can gust past 60 miles per hour in fall and early winter, and the clay soils under many neighborhoods expand and contract with the wet and dry seasons in ways that stress concrete and foundations over time. A sunroom built in Corona needs glass specified to block solar heat gain, framing materials that handle the thermal cycling, and a foundation connection designed to move with the soil rather than fight it. Getting those decisions right at the design stage prevents the maintenance calls that come from getting them wrong.

Corona is one of the larger cities in Riverside County, with a population of around 170,000 people and a location that straddles the border of Riverside and Orange counties just off the 91 freeway. The city grew rapidly from the 1980s through the 2000s, drawing families from Los Angeles and Orange County who wanted more space at lower prices. Most of Corona's housing stock is single-family homes on lots of 6,000 to 10,000 square feet, with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and attached two-car garages. The median home value in the city has climbed significantly over the past decade, and most households are owner-occupied.

Corona's neighborhoods range from the older streets closer to the historic downtown to the newer subdivisions built in the hills above the freeway corridor. Dos Lagos is one of the most recognizable retail landmarks in south Corona, and the Santa Ana Mountains form the western edge of the city. We serve homeowners across all of Corona's neighborhoods. We also work regularly in Yorba Linda, which borders Corona and has similar housing stock from the same development period.
