Stop letting bugs and glare cut your evenings short. A properly built screen room gives you comfortable outdoor living almost every night of the year in Inglewood.
Screen room installation in Inglewood means building a fully screened outdoor living space attached to your home - a structural frame with mesh panels on the walls and a solid or screened roof - and most standard installations take two to five days of construction once permits are approved and the slab is ready.
Unlike a glass sunroom, a screen room uses open mesh panels instead of solid walls, which means it is not climate-controlled - but it is also a fraction of the cost and can be built faster. In Inglewood's mild year-round climate, a screen room is genuinely usable ten or eleven months of the year, which makes the investment go much further than it would in a colder part of the country. If your main goal is fresh air and bug-free evenings rather than a year-round heated space, a screen room is usually the smarter investment.
If you eventually want to upgrade to full glass walls and climate control, a screen room can serve as a first step toward a patio enclosure or a fully enclosed sunroom later. We will walk you through the options so you invest in the right structure from the start.
If you find yourself retreating inside as soon as the sun goes down, bugs are winning the battle for your backyard. Inglewood's proximity to the Ballona Creek watershed creates conditions where mosquitoes are active well into the evening during warmer months. A screen room lets you stay outside comfortably without sprays, candles, or constant swatting.
If your outdoor cushions, rugs, or furniture show significant sun damage within a year or two of purchase, your patio is getting more direct UV exposure than is comfortable for long-term use. Inglewood's strong year-round sun means an unshaded patio can feel oppressive during midday for much of the year. A screen room with a solid or solar-shade roof panel dramatically reduces that exposure.
If you have an existing patio cover or awning but still feel like you are sitting in the open - wind scattering napkins, neighbors looking in, no real sense of a defined space - a screen room solves all of those problems at once. It creates a room-like feel without closing off the air and light that make outdoor living enjoyable.
If you want children or pets to play outside without constant supervision near the street or an unfenced yard, a screen room creates a safe, enclosed zone that still feels open and airy. This is especially relevant in denser Inglewood neighborhoods where yard space is limited and every square foot needs to work harder.
We build screen rooms on existing concrete patio slabs as well as on new slabs when a client's current patio is not large enough or is in poor condition. Every installation is permitted through the City of Inglewood and includes a self-closing screened door, structural frame anchored to the slab, and screen panels tensioned to stay taut through the seasons. For homeowners who want to step up to a fully enclosed space, we can discuss a patio-to-sunroom conversion that uses the same footprint as a screen room but with glass panels and a weatherproof roof instead.
We also offer patio enclosures as a middle-ground option - more protected than a screen room but less expensive than a full glass sunroom. If you are not sure which direction makes the most sense for your property and your budget, the on-site estimate visit is the right time to talk through all three options side by side with someone who has built all of them in Inglewood.
Best for homeowners with a usable existing concrete patio who want bug protection and shade without a major construction project.
Best for homeowners whose current patio is too small, cracked, or uneven to support a frame - new concrete adds a week to the timeline but gives you a solid foundation.
Best added to any Inglewood screen room where afternoon sun is intense - tighter weave mesh blocks heat and glare while keeping the space bright and airy.
Best for homeowners who want to use the screen room during Inglewood's warm evenings and need airflow and light to make the space fully functional after dark.
Inglewood sits in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County where average temperatures stay between the mid-50s and mid-80s Fahrenheit for most of the year. That climate makes a screen room genuinely usable in a way it would not be in most of the country - you are adding a room you will actually use nearly every day, not just on warm summer evenings. Much of Inglewood's housing was also built in the mid-20th century on small to mid-size lots with modest existing patios, which means a screen room is often the most practical way to add outdoor living space without a full-scale addition. Homeowners in Hawthorne and Lawndale face the same small-lot constraints and have found screen rooms to be a cost-effective solution.
Inglewood's strong year-round sun also means screen material choice matters more here than in cooler climates. Standard fiberglass screen degrades faster under Southern California's UV exposure, and a screen room built with the wrong mesh can look tired within a few years. We specify materials rated for high-UV environments - aluminum frames with a powder-coat finish and solar-shade mesh on the panels - because those materials hold up to Inglewood conditions the way standard materials simply do not. The City of Inglewood permit process also protects your investment: a structure that was inspected and approved has no question marks hanging over it when you sell your home.
Reach out by phone or form and we will reply within one business day. A brief conversation helps us understand your patio size, what you want to use the space for, and whether you have an existing slab - so we come prepared to your home with the right ideas.
We visit your home to measure the space, assess your existing patio or slab, and walk through design options - screen material choices, roofline options, door placement, and extras like ceiling fans or lighting. Most contractors in the Inglewood area provide this estimate at no charge.
Once you approve the scope and sign a contract, we prepare and submit the building permit application to the City of Inglewood's Building and Safety Division. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we help prepare the documentation needed for their approval. This stage typically takes two to six weeks.
Framing and screen installation typically takes two to four days on an existing slab. A city inspector verifies the structure before we call it done, then we walk you through the finished room - showing you how the door latch works, how to clean the panels, and what to watch for over time.
We will visit your home, measure the space, and give you a written quote with no obligation to move forward. No sales pressure - just honest information.
(424) 414-1138Every screen room we build in Inglewood goes through the City of Inglewood's Building and Safety permit and inspection process. That means the structure is on record, legal, and will not create problems when you sell or file an insurance claim.
We use aluminum framing with a powder-coat finish rather than painted wood - it holds up significantly better under Inglewood's year-round sun and does not warp, rot, or fade within a few seasons. The investment in better materials pays off in a room that still looks right in year five. National Association of Home Builders.
Neighborhoods near SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park development often have HOAs with strict rules about exterior structures. We have navigated that approval process for Inglewood homeowners and know how to prepare the documentation that gets a clean approval the first time.
We show you screen material options with physical samples during the estimate visit, and we recommend solar-shade mesh for most Inglewood projects - it keeps the space cooler during Inglewood's intense afternoon sun hours without making the room feel dark or closed in. Phifer screen materials.
Every one of those things - permitted work, durable materials, HOA experience, and mesh chosen for Inglewood's sun - adds up to a screen room that looks good, lasts, and gives you no headaches down the road. That is what we aim to build on every project.
Take the next step from a screen room and enclose your patio with glass walls and a solid roof.
