Cedar and hemlock rooms made for one space and one specification, whether that is a closet conversion or a freestanding cabin on an awkward lot.

Infrared Saunas
Full-spectrum and far-infrared cabins fitted in Orange County homes, including builds that go where a traditional hot room simply cannot.
🪨
Traditional Saunas
Stone-mass hot rooms built for real loyly, electric or wood-fired, vented so the air actually turns over rather than sitting still.
💨
Steam Saunas
Steam rooms and shower conversions with a generator matched to the enclosure, full waterproofing behind the tile and a drain that still works in a decade.
🛢️
Barrel Saunas
Cedar barrels set on a pad built for them, with the conduit run, the flue flashed and the decking handled, for yards too tight for a cabin.
🏠
Indoor Saunas
Rooms built within the house itself: bathroom conversions, closet builds, spare bedrooms and garage bays, framed and vented to hold real heat.
🌲
Outdoor Saunas
Garden cabins, poolside rooms and detached hot rooms, carried from the footings and the buried power run through to the first firing.
🏢
Commercial Saunas
Group-capacity rooms for clubs, hotels, spas and amenity decks, built to commercial code with accessible bench routes.

🛁
Cedar Tub Install
Western red cedar soaking tubs and Japanese-style ofuro built by hand, heated electrically or by wood, each with a templated insulated cover and low-chemical water care.
🧊
Cold Plunge Install
Chiller-held plunge tanks, insulated and stable between 38 and 55 degrees all year, sited beside the hot room so contrast bathing is a few steps.
🧰
Sauna Kit Assembly
Any sauna kit, any brand, received and inventoried on arrival then assembled to manufacturer spec with the rough-in, electrical and permits handled.
The crew quoting a Dana Point job is the same one working the rest of the coast for Newport Beach Sauna Builder, so the pricing, the permit handling and the finish carpenter do not change with the zip code — only the drive time does. Call: (949) 628-5172
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home sauna installation cost?
Room size, heater class and how much building has to happen before the sauna goes in set the number. The lowest projects are two-person rooms dropped into a closet that is already framed and already has a spare circuit. Mid-range is a six-person cedar room with a good heater, a new 240V circuit and a glass door. The top is an outdoor cabin on footings with a roof and a trenched feed. After a site visit you get one flat price covering heater, wiring, venting and permits.
What are the electrical requirements for a sauna heater?
A dedicated 240V circuit, hard-wired, with nothing else sharing it. Rough sizing runs 30 amps for a 4.5kW heater, 30 to 40 for 6kW, 40 to 50 for 8 to 9kW, and 60 for 10.5 to 12kW, with conductor size then set by the length of the run. The first thing we look at is the panel, because much of the older stock on Balboa Peninsula and in Corona del Mar is still on a 100-amp service, and a large heater there means a subpanel or a service upgrade first.
Can I install a sauna without a permit?
No. The 240V circuit on its own requires an electrical permit in every Orange County jurisdiction we work in. Framing a new room or erecting an outdoor structure brings in a building permit, a wood-fired heater brings in combustion and venting review, and a parcel inside the coastal zone can also require a Coastal Development Permit. Skipping the paperwork surfaces later, at resale, in an insurance claim, or the day something goes wrong. Permits and inspections are inside our quoted price.
How long does a sauna installation take?
Count from the day the last carton lands, not from the day you sign. Taking a closet or a garage bay back to the studs and rebuilding puts it at two to three weeks. An outdoor cabin with footings and a roof is four to six. The critical path is almost always the heater and wood order, so we release it the day the specification is signed instead of waiting for plan check to clear.
Which brands provide eco-friendly sauna heaters and steam generators?
Efficiency comes from the room and the control far more than from the badge on the heater. In an electric heater we look for a well-insulated cabinet, plenty of stone mass to hold heat, and a control that can be scheduled so the room is not drawing power while it waits for you. In a steam generator, auto-drain and auto-flush are the features worth paying for on Orange County water, which is hard enough to scale a generator early. We carry no exclusive lines, so the spec follows your room.
