Inglewood homes and the backyards behind them
Most of the Inglewood calls we get start the same way. Someone has an older single-story house with a concrete slab or a tired patio cover out back, and that space sits unused most of the year because it's open to dust and bugs and doesn't feel like part of the house. It's the same kind of job we do around our home city of Lynwood and over in East Los Angeles, but every city runs its own permit office, so I don't assume what worked on the last job applies here.
On lots this size, the room usually has to fit the footprint you already have, so the first thing I look at is the slab. If it's cracked, out of level or too thin at the edges to carry a wall, that gets dealt with before anything goes on top, and I'd rather tell you at the estimate than halfway through the build.
Our services in Inglewood, CA
A lot of Inglewood backyards already have a slab poured right against the house, which makes it the natural spot for a room. We check that slab first, then frame, glaze and roof a room over it that ties properly into your house wall.
If you already have a solid patio cover, enclosing the sides is often the simplest way to get a room you can use. We look at whether the cover can carry walls and windows before we suggest it, because not every older cover can.
Some older homes here already have an add-on room with foggy panels, sticking windows or a roof that leaks where it meets the house. Our sunroom remodeling work replaces what's failing and updates the rest, so you keep the room you have without starting over.
When you mostly want to sit out back in the evening without the bugs, a screen room is often all you need. We build it on your slab or deck under a solid roof, and it costs less than a glassed-in room because there's no glass or insulation to pay for.
A three season room suits families who want windows and shelter but don't need the space heated and cooled like the rest of the house. I help you decide between that and a four season room by how you'll really use it, since that choice moves the cost more than almost anything else.
If the room is going to be an office, a bedroom or the place the family lives day to day, a four season room is built and insulated to be used year round. We frame it like part of the house and plan the wiring with it from the start, so it doesn't feel like an afterthought.

What happens when you call us about an Inglewood sunroom
Call us or send the form
You call (424) 296-8574 or fill out the form, and we set a time for me to come out to your house. It helps if you're home for the visit, because I want to hear how you plan to use the room.
I measure and listen first
I look at the slab, the house wall and the space around it, take measurements and talk through which kind of room fits your family. The written estimate spells out what's in it, and the price mostly turns on the type of room, its size, the glass and any slab work the space needs.
Drawings, permit, then the build
When the job needs a permit, we prepare the drawings and handle the application, and the schedule mostly waits on the city checking those drawings before it issues the permit. Then our own crew builds the room under our lead installer, while I check in at each stage and line up the inspections.
Walk through the finished room
When the room's done, we walk through it together and I point out anything I'd want you to look at. I also show you how to clean and care for it so it stays in good shape.
Inglewood sunroom questions answered
Do I need a permit to build a sunroom in Inglewood?
Plan on it, because the City of Inglewood requires a building permit whenever a structure is constructed, enlarged, altered, improved or repaired. That wording reaches a new sunroom and repair work on an existing one alike. We're licensed and insured, and when a job needs a permit we prepare the drawings, handle the application and keep you posted at each step.
Who issues building permits in Inglewood?
The city's Building Safety Division issues building permits, along with the electrical and mechanical permits a sunroom with wiring may also need. The division checks the drawings before it issues a permit and inspects the work afterward. You can reach it at (310) 412-5294 with permit and inspection questions.
How do I request a building inspection in Inglewood?
Inspections in Inglewood are now requested online through the division's OpenGov portal, and each one is booked there. On our jobs we line up the inspections ourselves, so you don't have to work the portal, though you're welcome to be home when the inspector comes.
How much does a sunroom cost in Inglewood?
The cost comes down to the type of room, its size, the glass and roof panels, and whether your slab needs work before we build, so your real number comes from the on-site estimate. A screen room sits at the low end and a four season room at the high end, because of the insulation, glass and wiring it takes. The city's permit fee is part of the total too, which the next answer covers.
How do I find out the permit fee for a sunroom in Inglewood?
Call the city's permit office and ask for a cost estimate on your project, because the city sets building permit fees by the type and complexity of the work. A room with new framing and electrical usually involves more than a simple screen room. If you'd rather not make that call yourself, ask me at the estimate visit and I'll explain how the permit fits into your job.
What is the best way to turn my patio into a sunroom in Inglewood?
Start with how you'll use the room, then check whether your slab and house wall can carry it, because those two answers decide the type of room and what it takes to build. The city posts permit requirement documents for residential work, with separate ones for patio work and for new and addition projects, so which one applies depends on what we're building. That's the conversation I like to have on site before anything gets drawn.
