Patio enclosures in Wildomar CA - a closed-in patio planned around the afternoon sun
Bugs, dust and heat keeping you off the patio? We close it in with screen, glass or solid panels that fit how you use it.
What does it take to enclose a patio in Wildomar?
A patio enclosure in Wildomar closes in your patio with screen panels, glass or solid walls, usually building on the slab and cover you already have, so you end up with a sheltered space you'll actually use.
Most people who call us have a patio they don't use as much as they'd like, because bugs, wind, dust or the afternoon heat keep sending them back inside. The price mostly comes down to whether your cover can stay or needs a new patio cover, whether the slab needs work, how many sides we close in and whether you pick screen, glass or solid panels. The schedule turns on that same cover and slab work, plus the city's permit review when the job needs one. I'll walk you through all of it on site, and your written estimate lists each part of the job in plain language so you can see where the money goes.
How we build a patio enclosure
When I come out, I start with your cover and your slab, because the new walls hang from one and sit on the other, so neither can be an afterthought. Next I look at which side of your patio takes the afternoon sun, since that wall may do better with solid panels or shading than with clear glass, and I'll explain why before you decide. Once the plan is set, our crew frames the walls, ties them into the cover and slab, sets the screen, glass or solid panels you chose and cleans up before we leave.
Some homeowners find that closing in the patio doesn't give them enough room or light, and that's where a custom sunroom comes in, laid out around how you'll use the space. If your cover or slab can't carry an enclosure, we can talk about sunroom construction from the foundation up instead.
Why Wildomar homeowners call Daylight Wildomar Sunrooms & Patios for patio enclosures
I measure and explain myself
I'm the one who comes out to look at your patio, measure it and talk through screen, glass and solid panels with you. Our own crew does the building and I check in as it goes up, so the person who made the plan is still watching the work.
Roofing years behind every cover
I roofed houses for years before I started building sunrooms in Wildomar in 2017, and I still read a patio cover the way a roofer reads a roof. That matters because an enclosure ties into your roof line, and that joint is where leaks start when nobody's looking closely.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured, so your job is covered while we're working at your house. Wildomar also has every permit applicant sign a statement that they're licensed under the state's contractor license law or give the reason they're exempt.
Wildomar permits handled step by step
When your enclosure needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and inspections with the city, and I explain each step as it happens. Wildomar checks plans for structure, fire safety and materials and rates termite exposure here as very heavy, so we'll settle on frame materials with you before anything gets drawn up.
Most of what decides this job is already standing on your patio, so send us a note or call (951) 290-7274, and have photos of your cover and slab ready along with a note on which side gets the afternoon sun.

Send the form and we'll reply within one business day, and the estimate is free, done at your property and comes with no obligation. I'll come out, measure your patio and talk through the options with you. Then you get the estimate in writing, with each part of the job listed in plain language.
Ideas for closing in a patio
Questions to ask before a patio enclosure
Is a screen room or a glass enclosure better for my patio in Wildomar?
A screen room is the better pick if you mainly want to keep out bugs and debris and still feel the breeze, and it's usually the lighter, simpler job. If you want shelter from heat, cold, rain or dust storms, you need glass or insulated walls, since screen won't stop those, though glass alone doesn't turn a patio into an all-season living room. Tell me how you picture using the space and I'll show you where each choice lands.
How do I know if my patio cover can be the roof of an enclosure?
A lattice or open-slat cover can't be the roof of an enclosed room until it's replaced or topped with solid panels, while a solid aluminum cover in good shape is a much better place to start. That's why the cover you have sets so much of the size of the job, and I check its condition and connections when I come out.
Can I build a patio enclosure on my existing slab?
Often you can, but a slab or deck built for an open patio may have been designed for different loads and use, and a clean surface doesn't prove the foundation is right for walls. Plan on having the walls, any roof changes and the support connections looked at before the design is set, which is part of what I check at the estimate.
How much does a patio enclosure cost in Wildomar?
We can't give you a fair number until we've seen your patio, because the cover, the slab and the walls you choose set most of the price. Screen is usually the lighter job, glass and insulated walls take more, and a lattice cover that needs replacing or a slab that needs work adds to it, while solid panels or shading on a sunny wall often cost less than cooling the room later. Your estimate lists each of those in writing.
How do I apply for a patio enclosure permit in Wildomar?
Wildomar takes permit applications electronically only, by email to its Building Permit Team, and doesn't accept them at the building department counter. The city's Building and Safety Department issues building and electrical permits, and you can call the Building Permit Team at 951-677-7751 to ask what your enclosure needs. When it needs one, we handle that part, and the city allows construction Monday through Saturday from 6:30 am to 7:00 pm, with none on Sundays or city holidays.
Who is allowed to build a patio enclosure in California?
Ask any builder which license class they hold for enclosure work, because the state licensing board's awning contractor classification covers awnings and patio covers and doesn't include patio enclosures. It's a fair question to put to us at the estimate too, and I'll answer it straight.
