Serving Compton, CA and surrounding areas. (424) 447-1306
Compton Sunrooms & Patios builds custom sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms for homeowners across Inglewood, CA. We have served Los Angeles County since 2018 and manage all City of Inglewood building permits from application through final inspection.
Inglewood's postwar bungalows and ranch homes are modest in footprint, and many homeowners want to extend their living space without a full interior addition. A custom sunroom uses the space behind or beside your existing home, is designed around your specific slab and roofline, and delivers a finished room that feels like it was always part of the house.
Many Inglewood homes have an open concrete slab at the back of the property that was poured in the original construction and has sat exposed ever since. We enclose those existing pads with glass or screen framing, turning them into protected year-round space without demolishing what is already there.
Inglewood evenings are warm and comfortable from spring through fall, but mosquitoes and the occasional strong wind make outdoor sitting unpleasant without some protection. A screen room gives you ventilation and open-air feel while keeping bugs out and adding wind protection around the perimeter.
With Inglewood's intense summer UV and the occasional rainy winter, an all-season room with insulated glazing and weatherproof framing lets you use the space every month of the year. We design these rooms to handle both the summer heat and the occasional wet week that comes with an atmospheric river event.
Some of Inglewood's older homes have attached patio covers or aluminum shade structures that are past their useful life. Converting an existing covered patio into a finished sunroom uses the footprint already in place, reduces waste, and typically costs less than starting from scratch on an open slab.
Southern California UV exposure fades and degrades painted wood frames within a few years, which means constant touch-up work for homeowners. Vinyl frames hold their color without painting or staining, making them a practical choice for Inglewood's year-round sun and the occasional Santa Ana wind event that blows grit across exterior surfaces.
The majority of homes in Inglewood were built between the 1940s and 1960s. These are compact, one-story bungalows and ranch-style houses with stucco exteriors, small lots, and concrete slab foundations that have been in place for six or seven decades. The clay soils under much of the Los Angeles Basin - including Inglewood - expand when the winter rains arrive and contract during the dry summer months. That repeated movement is why older concrete slabs in this area develop cracks, and why a foundation assessment is a non-negotiable part of any sunroom design here. A contractor who designs a room on a compromised slab without checking first will have a structural problem on their hands before the framing is even finished.
Inglewood's climate creates its own set of design requirements. The city gets more than 280 sunny days per year, and summer afternoons frequently push into the upper 80s. Fall brings Santa Ana wind events with gusts that can exceed 50 mph. Any sunroom or patio enclosure built here needs to account for both - thermal glazing to keep the room usable in summer heat and structural anchoring to handle wind loads. California's seismic requirements apply as well, since Inglewood is in an area of moderate earthquake risk. We design to all three of those standards on every project, not just the most convenient ones.
Our crew works throughout Inglewood regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. The city is densely built - under 11 square miles with around 109,000 residents - so lots are tight and homes sit close together. Getting materials and equipment into the back of a property often means planning access through a narrow side gate or coordinating with neighbors. We factor that into the project schedule from the start.
Inglewood is divided by major roads including Manchester Boulevard, Century Boulevard, and La Brea Avenue. The Morningside Park neighborhood in the northeast part of the city has some of the larger single-family homes and is where we tend to see more investment in sunroom additions and enclosed patios. Areas closer to Century Boulevard and the airport corridor have more mixed-use and multi-family properties. The City of Inglewood has seen major development around the Hollywood Park district and SoFi Stadium, which has driven home values up throughout the city and increased the number of homeowners investing in outdoor living improvements.
We also serve homeowners in Hawthorne, which borders Inglewood to the south and has very similar postwar housing conditions. Whether your home is near Manchester Boulevard, in the Morningside Park area, or on the west side of the city, we serve all of Inglewood.
We ask a few straightforward questions about your home and your goals. You will hear back within one business day. There is no commitment required at this stage.
We visit your Inglewood home, evaluate the slab or foundation, measure the target space, and walk through your options in person. A detailed written estimate follows within a few days. This step is also where we address cost questions directly - what is included, what is optional, and whether the slab needs any prep before framing starts.
We prepare and submit the building permit application to the Inglewood Building and Safety Division. You do not need to go to City Hall. We track the review and notify you as soon as the permit is approved.
We complete the build, coordinate all required city inspections, and walk through the finished room with you. You receive the signed permit documentation at the end of the project.
We serve all of Inglewood and respond within one business day. Tell us what you have in mind and we will give you a straight answer with no pressure.
(424) 447-1306Inglewood is a mid-size city of roughly 109,000 residents located just southwest of downtown Los Angeles and a few miles north of LAX. The city sits in one of the most densely developed parts of Los Angeles County - under 11 square miles, almost entirely built out. Most of the housing stock consists of one-story bungalows and ranch-style homes built during the postwar boom of the 1940s and 1950s, with stucco exteriors and small but functional backyards. The Morningside Park neighborhood in the northeast has some of the city's larger and better-maintained single-family homes, with tree-lined streets and owner-occupied properties that tend to see more renovation investment. You can read more about the history and character of Inglewood on Wikipedia.
Inglewood has seen a significant wave of investment in recent years, largely connected to the opening of SoFi Stadium in 2020 and the ongoing Hollywood Park development along Prairie Avenue. Home values across the city have risen sharply, which has given many longtime owners a reason to put money into the properties they have held for years. The neighborhood around Kia Forum on Manchester Boulevard reflects the city's older commercial character, while the new development to the south represents what Inglewood is becoming. We work across both sides of that divide, serving homeowners in Gardena and Hawthorne as well.
We build custom sunrooms and patio enclosures across Inglewood and the surrounding South Bay. Contact us now and hear back within one business day.
