Claremont's older craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes have architectural character that a poorly designed addition will ruin. Our sunroom design process starts with your home's existing roofline, exterior materials, and window proportions so the finished room looks like it was part of the original plan. For Claremont's smaller craftsman lots, the design also has to work within the city's setback requirements from the start.
Claremont has a high rate of long-term homeowners who have already done the basic updates and want something tailored, not a standard catalog product. A custom sunroom can be sized to fit an awkward corner of the yard, match a specific stucco color or clay tile roofline, and include the specific glass specification needed to keep the room usable through Claremont's hot summers.
Claremont summers regularly hit the mid-90s and occasionally top 100 degrees Fahrenheit - and winter nights can dip below freezing near the foothills. A properly insulated four season sunroom connected to your existing HVAC handles both extremes, giving the room genuine year-round use rather than a comfortable range that covers only eight months of the year.
Many Claremont homes near The Village and the Claremont Colleges already have a mature backyard with a concrete patio that sits unused for most of the summer. A screened or glass-panel patio enclosure turns that space into a shaded, insect-free outdoor room without requiring a new slab - a practical upgrade for homes where the backyard hardscape is already in good shape.
Pre-1960 craftsman and bungalow homes near the Claremont Colleges are compact by modern standards, and many families need more interior space without wanting to move. A permitted sunroom addition attached to the rear or side of the home adds square footage that appraisers count toward home value - an important factor in a city where the median home value is well above the Southern California average.
Claremont's northern neighborhoods near the foothills include homes built in the 1980s and 1990s that often came with an original sunroom or enclosed patio that now has failing single-pane glass and leaking aluminum frames. Resealing or replacing the glass assembly and re-flashing the roof connection can extend the life of an otherwise sound structure by decades, at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Claremont has two distinct housing situations that affect sunroom and addition work differently. Near The Village and the Claremont Colleges, most homes were built between the 1920s and the 1950s. These craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival houses are on modest lots with shallow foundations, original plumbing, and rooflines that a new addition has to match carefully. The homes are valuable and well-maintained - the bar for workmanship is high. In the northern parts of the city, closer to the San Gabriel Mountain foothills, you find homes built in the 1980s and 1990s on larger lots with stucco exteriors and tile roofs. These are newer structures, but they are now at the age where exterior coatings, glass seals, and caulking around windows need attention.
The climate is the common factor. Claremont summers are hot and dry, with UV exposure that breaks down glass coatings and exterior sealants faster than in coastal cities. Santa Ana wind events in fall and early winter regularly gust above 50 miles per hour in Claremont's foothill neighborhoods, and a sunroom frame that was not engineered for those loads will develop rattling, seal failures, and sometimes structural movement after the first major wind season. The city's annual rainfall is modest - around 17 inches - but it falls mostly in concentrated winter storms, and old stucco around addition joints that was not properly detailed will admit water the first time a real storm tests it.
Our crew works throughout Claremont regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. The city sits at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, right against the base of the San Gabriel Mountains - a location that shapes everything from wind loads on roof structures to soil drainage on sloped northern lots. We are familiar with the Community Development Department permit process and what plan check reviewers look for on residential additions in this city.
Claremont is a compact city of about 36,000 people, but it has distinct neighborhood zones that each call for different approaches. The neighborhoods around the Claremont Colleges have the oldest housing stock, and homeowners there typically want additions that respect the existing architecture rather than standing out from it. The foothill neighborhoods along the northern edge of the city have different sun exposure and wind conditions, and homes there sometimes sit in designated fire hazard zones that affect material choices. Thompson Creek Trail marks the transition between the two zones roughly. We know both.
We also serve the neighboring communities of La Verne to the east and Pomona to the south, so if you have a neighbor or family member in either city looking for the same kind of work, we are already in that area.
Reach us by phone at (909) 755-8782 or through the contact form online. Every Claremont inquiry gets a personal reply within one business day - not a robo-response - from someone who can actually answer questions about your specific home and project.
We schedule a visit to your Claremont home to assess the existing foundation, roofline, and setbacks before quoting anything. Older homes near the colleges sometimes have surprises - shallow footings, non-standard framing, or heritage trees that affect where an addition can go. We find those things before you sign a contract, not after work starts.
We handle plan preparation and submit the permit application to the City of Claremont on your behalf. Once the permit issues - typically three to five weeks after submission - construction begins. You do not need to be home for every day of work, but we schedule a walkthrough at key stages.
After construction, the city inspects the completed structure and issues a final sign-off. We walk through the finished room with you before we consider the project closed. The permit record stays with the house and is documentation your insurance carrier and future buyers can reference.

(909) 755-8782Claremont is a city of about 36,000 residents at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, sitting directly against the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. The city covers roughly 13 square miles and has a small-town character despite being part of the greater Los Angeles metro area. The most well-known feature of Claremont is the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of seven nationally recognized institutions clustered near the city center. The colleges bring a permanent academic and professional community to the city, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods have an unusually high rate of owner-occupied homes with long-term residents who care about the character of the city and their individual properties. Claremont's walkable downtown area, known as The Village, anchors the commercial core with tree-lined streets and a mix of independent shops and restaurants.
The housing stock in Claremont is one of the most architecturally varied in the Inland Empire. The neighborhoods closest to the Claremont Colleges feature craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes built from the 1920s through the 1950s - stucco exteriors, clay tile roofs, arched windows, and mature street trees. Moving north toward the foothills, the homes shift to the 1980s and 1990s stucco tract houses common across the rest of the Inland Empire. Both zones have distinct maintenance needs and construction requirements. Claremont is adjacent to La Verne to the east and Upland to the east, and we serve homeowners across all three communities.
