About El Segundo, CA

El Segundo is a small city between the beach along Vista Del Mar and the runways at LAX. From a sunroom job's point of view, it's mostly blocks of single-family houses on modest lots, with offices and industry on their own side of town. Plenty of homeowners here have a back patio or an old deck they hardly use, and that's usually the space they want to turn into a room.

It's a short drive from our base in Manhattan Beach, and we do similar work next door in Hawthorne. Tight side yards and older slabs here mean the room has to be fitted to what's already there, so the planning matters as much as the build.

Services in El Segundo, CA

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    Many El Segundo homes already have a back patio slab, and that's usually the simplest place to start a room. We check that the slab can hold walls and a roof, then build on it or add support where it needs it.

  • Custom sunrooms

    Backyards here are often narrow or set at odd angles, so a standard-size kit can waste space or crowd the fence. A custom sunroom is drawn to your lot and your roofline, so it fits the space you actually have.

  • Four season sunrooms

    If you want a room you'll use in the evenings and through the winter, a four season sunroom is built like the rest of the house, with insulated glass and walls. We tie it into the existing roof and your heating and cooling so it feels like part of the house.

  • Deck-to-sunroom conversion

    Older raised decks on some of these lots were built for chairs, not for walls, glass and a roof. We look at the posts and framing underneath and either reinforce the deck or rebuild the base before the room goes up.

  • Patio cover installation

    A patio cover is often where a project here starts, because it gives you shade over the patio without the cost of a full room. We can frame it so walls can be added later if you decide you want them.

  • Sunroom remodeling

    Some older houses here already have an enclosure with cloudy glass, leaks around the frames or a roof that sags. We repair or replace what's failing so the room is worth sitting in again.

Working in El Segundo: permits, licenses and what sets the price

In El Segundo, the city's Building and Safety Division issues the building permit for a sunroom, and the start date waits on it more than on our calendar. Before you hire anyone, ask for two things. A license from the state licensing board is required when a job needs a building permit or the contracts total $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and the city requires every contractor working here to hold a valid El Segundo business license number. We're licensed and fully insured, and before work starts we check with the city about what your room needs, then prepare and file the paperwork ourselves.

Most of the houses we work on here sit on quiet residential streets with neighbors close on both sides, so we keep the work area tidy at the end of each day. The price moves mostly with the size of the room, the glass and walls you choose, and whether the slab or deck under it can carry the weight, while the schedule turns on the permit and how much prep the base needs. I'll put your own figure in a written estimate after I've seen the space, and we do the same kind of work in Lawndale and the other cities around here.

El Segundo, CA properties and local conditions

Planes from LAX are part of daily life on many El Segundo blocks, and a room made mostly of glass lets that sound in unless it's planned for. The city requires new additions to meet noise standards, and in the parts of town covered by its airport noise program, the city's noise handouts go in with the submitted plans. We choose the glass, walls and seals with that in mind from the first drawing, so the room is drawn to the city's standard and is pleasant to sit in.

A lot of the patios we see here are older concrete slabs poured for a table and a grill, not for walls and a roof. I look closely at the slab or deck before anything is drawn, because if it can't carry the room, I'd rather tell you then and plan new footings to hold the walls than find out halfway through.

    You call (424) 290-8610 or fill out the form, and we set a time for me to come to your house. Thank you for reaching out, and feel free to tell us about the room you're picturing when we talk.

  2. I visit, measure and plan

    I come out myself to measure, check what the room will sit on and talk through how you want to use it, so it helps if you're home. Then you get a written estimate that shows what's driving the price before you decide anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to add a sunroom in El Segundo?

Yes, adding a sunroom in El Segundo needs a building permit, because the city requires one whenever a building is enlarged, altered or converted, which is what adding a room or enclosing a patio does. New outlets or lights in the room need a permit too, since the city requires permits for electrical improvements. We handle the paperwork, and the city lists its requirements on its building permit application page if you'd like to read them.

How much does a sunroom cost in El Segundo?

The cost of a sunroom in El Segundo comes down to the room's size, the glass and walls you choose, and what it has to sit on. A screened or three season room on a sound slab costs less than a fully insulated four season room, and new footings, deck repairs, electrical work or the extra care for the noise standards add to it. After I've measured and looked at your space, you get a written estimate with your own figure.

How do I get approval to enclose a patio at my El Segundo condo?

If the patio is part of the common area or the building's exterior, the city requires a letter of authorization signed by your HOA president before a permit can be pulled. Documents such as HOA minutes can confirm the president's role, and the city may consider authorization from all the condo owners instead. Getting that letter early keeps the permit from stalling.

Can a renter get a permit for a sunroom in El Segundo?

A renter can pull a permit in El Segundo only when properly authorized as an agent for the property owner or the contractor. It's usually simplest for the owner to agree to the project first and for us to file as the contractor.

Do I need another permit if sunroom work reaches the sidewalk in El Segundo?

Yes, building or changing a sidewalk, alley or public street also needs a permit from the city's Public Works Department. Anything that affects the public right-of-way, the area outside your property line, needs an encroachment permit first, and that includes construction digging and utility work. Most sunrooms stay inside the property line, and I'll tell you at the visit if yours doesn't.

How long does it take to build a sunroom in El Segundo?

Most of the wait for a sunroom in El Segundo usually comes before building starts, because the city's permit has to be issued first. Once it is, we build in stages, and how long that takes turns on the room's size and how much work the slab or deck needs, which I'll go over with you at the estimate.
