Screen room installation in Wildomar CA - an open-air room the bugs can't get into
Mosquitoes and flies chase you off the patio every evening. We build a screened room with a solid roof so you can sit out there again.
What does it take to put a screen room on my patio?
Screen room installation in Wildomar means we build a screened enclosure over your patio or deck, usually with a roof fastened to your house, so you get the breeze and the shade without the bugs.
Most people who call us have a patio or deck they like but can't use once the bugs come out in the evening. The price moves with the room's size, the kind of roof, the frame material and the screen you pick, and with whether your slab or deck is ready to build on as it stands. The schedule mostly turns on the permit, and when a job needs one we handle the paperwork and the inspections with the city and explain each step as we go. Your written estimate lists each part of the job in plain language, so you can see what's driving your number.
How our screen room installation works
I start at your house by asking how you'll use the room, because a dinner table, a reading chair and a dog bed each call for something a little different. The screen should match your household too, so if you have dogs or cats we look at a heavier pet screen, which one maker describes as much heavier than standard fiberglass or aluminum and built to resist tears from pets while you still see out clearly. Next I show you where the roof will fasten to the house and why. One enclosure maker's guide says a roof mounted on the fascia board, the trim board along your roof edge, has to catch the rafter ends, and on a house wall it suggests a ledger board lagged into the studs, so we look at your eaves and walls together before deciding. Then our crew sets the frame, builds the roof, fits and fastens the screen panels and cleans up before we leave.
Some screen rooms are a first step toward something bigger. If you might close the room in with windows later, a patio-to-sunroom conversion builds on your existing slab, and a deck-to-sunroom conversion starts with checking whether your deck framing can carry walls and glass. Tell me at the estimate, because planning the frame and roof for glass now saves redoing work later.
Why Wildomar homeowners call Daylight Wildomar Sunrooms & Patios for screen rooms
The owner measures and explains
I'm the one who comes out to look at your patio, measure and talk through the options with you. Our own crew does the building and I check in as it goes up, so the person who made the plan is watching it get built.
Roofing years behind the tie-in
I roofed houses for years before I started this business in 2017, and that's why I look hardest at where your new roof meets the old one. Leaks and sags on a patio roof usually start at that joint, so it gets my attention first.
Frame choices that suit Wildomar termites
The city's building criteria rate termite risk here as Very Heavy, so I walk you through how each frame material holds up to termites before you pick one. That's a choice to settle at the estimate, not after the frame is up.
Licensed, insured and glad to explain
We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to ask what that covers before you sign anything. I'd rather spend an extra few minutes on it now than have you surprised later.
On a screen room, the part you'll live with longest is where the roof meets your house, and I want you to understand it before we build. Call (951) 290-7274 or send us your request with your street address or parcel number, a rough room size and the screen you're leaning toward.
Get a written screen room estimate at your house
Estimates are free, done at your property and come with no obligation, and we reply within one business day. After you send the form, I'll set a time to come out, measure and talk through the screen and roof options with you. You'll get the estimate in writing, with each part of the job listed in plain language.

Questions before you book a screen room
Is aluminum or fiberglass screen better for a screen room?
Aluminum is stiffer and looks flatter in the panel, while fiberglass is more forgiving, so for most patios I lean toward fiberglass unless you want the flattest look. Aluminum's stiffness also makes creases and rough edges harder to hide, so if you choose it, ask how your panels will be handled and finished. One maker describes standard fiberglass screen as corrosion resistant, easy to clean and steady in color and shape over time.
How much does a screen room cost in Wildomar?
A screen porch enclosure in Riverside County usually costs about $6,000 to $16,000 for a 200-square-foot room. That's the going rate in the area, not our price, and where your room lands depends on its size, roof, frame and screen. Your free estimate gives you the number for your own house.
Who issues the permit for a screen room in Wildomar, and how do I apply?
The City of Wildomar's Building and Safety Department issues building permits, and it's the office that decides whether your screen room needs one. It takes applications only by email to its Building Permit Team, and you can reach that team at the city's Building Permit Team line, 951-677-7751. When a permit is needed, we handle it for you, as mentioned above.
What hours can contractors build in Wildomar?
The city allows construction Monday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with no construction on Sundays or city-observed holidays. We set install days inside those hours, so if you're planning around a weekend gathering, tell me early.
How do I get my patio ready for a screen room install?
Clear the patio and point out any outdoor outlets and power lines near where the room will go. One enclosure maker's install guide says to check the work area for both before starting, so knowing where they are ahead of time keeps the day moving.
How do I check the zoning rules for my lot in Wildomar?
Look up your street address or Assessor Parcel Number in the city's GIS Parcel Information Tool, which shows your parcel's land use and zoning. It links to the permitted uses and development standards for your zone, so you can see the rules before settling on the room's size and spot. Send that address or parcel number with your request and I'll look too.
