Inglewood Sunrooms & Patios works with Compton homeowners on sunroom remodeling, patio enclosures, and screen room installation on the city's postwar slab-foundation homes. We pull permits through the City of Compton, respond within one business day, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
Compton has a lot of older sunrooms and patio enclosures that were built decades ago without insulated glass or current structural standards. Remodeling an existing room is often more cost-effective than tearing it down and starting over, and it can completely transform a drafty, unusable space into a comfortable year-round room. See what goes into a full sunroom remodeling project and whether it fits your situation.
Most Compton homes sit on concrete slab foundations with a rear concrete pad from the original construction in the 1950s or 1960s. Enclosing that existing pad turns unused outdoor space into a weatherproof room without the expense of a new foundation. We check the existing slab for level, drainage, and structural condition before recommending a design.
For Compton homeowners who want more outdoor living space without the cost of a full enclosure, a screen room is a practical and affordable option. Compton's mild evenings from spring through fall mean a screened room is comfortable for outdoor dining and relaxing most of the year, and the installation timeline is typically shorter than a fully enclosed room.
Compton summers are hot - temperatures regularly reach the mid-to-upper 90s - and a solid-roof patio cover makes a backyard genuinely usable from June through September by blocking direct sun. A covered patio also protects the underlying concrete from UV degradation, which is one of the reasons original Compton driveways and slabs from the 1960s tend to show surface wear. All patio cover permits are pulled through the City of Compton.
An enclosed patio room gives a Compton home a true additional interior space - not just a covered outdoor area. These rooms are sealed against weather, suitable for furniture and electronics, and can be tied into the home's electrical for lighting and outlet circuits. On a postwar home where the original living area is modest in size, an enclosed patio room adds livable square footage that the family actually uses daily.
For Compton homeowners who want to add a new room from the ground up - rather than remodeling an existing structure - a sunroom addition starts with a new foundation and builds an entirely new framed room off the back of the house. On Compton's typical lots, which run under 6,000 square feet, we design to the available rear yard setbacks to maximize interior room size within what the city's zoning allows.
The majority of Compton's single-family homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s on concrete slab foundations that are now decades old. Slab foundations in this part of the Los Angeles Basin sit on clay-heavy soils that expand when wet and contract when dry. That seasonal movement is slow but cumulative - over fifty or sixty years, it can cause a slab to shift, tilt, or develop cracks that affect anything built on top of it. A sunroom or patio enclosure installed on an unlevel or compromised slab will develop joint gaps, frame racking, and drainage problems that no amount of caulking will permanently fix. Checking the slab condition before any enclosure work starts is not optional; it is the step that determines whether a project will hold up for ten years or ten months.
Compton's climate accelerates exterior material wear in ways that are specific to this area. Summer temperatures regularly hit the mid-to-upper 90s, and the sun intensity at this latitude breaks down caulk, vinyl glazing compounds, and standard sealants faster than in cooler climates. Many older Compton sunrooms were built with single-pane glass and uninsulated frames that were adequate for the standards of their time but make the rooms uncomfortable in today's summers. Upgrading to insulated glass and modern frame materials during a remodel addresses both the comfort problem and the long-term durability issue in one project.
Our crew works throughout Compton regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and patio enclosure work here. We pull permits through the City of Compton and handle all paperwork on your behalf - from the initial permit application through final inspection sign-off. Compton has its own building department and its own inspection schedule, and knowing the process ahead of time keeps projects from stalling over paperwork.
Compton is a fully built-out city of roughly ten square miles in the southern part of Los Angeles County, bordered by Lynwood, Carson, Paramount, and Gardena. The residential neighborhoods are primarily postwar single-family homes mixed with duplexes and small apartment buildings, particularly in the central and northern sections of the city. Compton Creek runs through the western portion of the city and is a recognized geographic feature for residents in those neighborhoods. The 710, 91, and 105 freeways provide easy access to and from the city, which means our crew can reach any part of Compton without difficulty regardless of traffic routing.
We also serve homeowners in nearby cities. If you need sunroom work in Carson or in Gardena, we are active in both cities and know each municipality's permit requirements.
Call or fill out the contact form with your address and a brief description of what you are looking to build or remodel. We respond within one business day - not a week from now - to schedule your on-site visit.
We visit the property, assess the existing slab or foundation, measure the available space, and check setbacks under City of Compton zoning. You receive a written estimate covering all costs - labor, materials, and permit fees - before you commit to anything.
We submit the permit application to the City of Compton and handle all inspector communications. Once approved, construction begins. Most Compton patio enclosures and remodels run two to six weeks on-site, depending on scope and foundation conditions.
A city inspector signs off on the completed structure. We walk through the finished room with you and confirm everything matches the agreed scope. You leave with a properly permitted addition that is part of your home's legal record and covered by your homeowners insurance.

(424) 414-1138Compton is a city of roughly 97,000 residents packed into about ten square miles in the southern part of Los Angeles County, making it one of the denser cities in the region. It sits near the intersection of the 710, 91, and 105 freeways and is served by the Metro A Line light rail, with stops at Compton Station and Artesia Station giving residents direct access to downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach without a car. The city is fully built out - there is very little undeveloped land - and the residential fabric is primarily postwar single-family homes mixed with duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings. Many streets in the central and western parts of the city follow a straightforward grid pattern, with homes set on lots that typically run under 6,000 square feet. Compton Creek, a channelized waterway in the western section of the city, is a long-recognized geographic landmark and the focus of ongoing environmental and park improvement efforts by LA County.
The housing stock across Compton is predominantly ranch-style and bungalow-style single-family homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, with stucco exteriors and concrete slab foundations. Median home values sit around $450,000 to $500,000, which is well below the LA County median, making Compton an accessible market for first-time buyers and long-term homeowners who want to invest in improving their properties without the pressure of extreme price appreciation. About 40 to 45 percent of households own their homes. Homeowners in nearby Carson face similar postwar housing conditions and the same clay soil movement considerations, while those in Lawndale to the northwest deal with a comparable housing stock and permit environment.
