About Redondo Beach, CA

Our calls in Redondo Beach come mostly from single-family homes, and many of them sit close together. Near the water you'll find older one-story houses, and farther inland more two-story homes, and most have a concrete patio, a small deck or a second-story deck out back that was added at some point along the way. The city sits between Hermosa Beach to the north and Torrance to the south and east, and the houses near those lines look a lot alike.

On lots this size there's rarely room to build out into the yard, so the new room usually goes where the patio or deck already is, and what that slab or deck can hold shapes the whole job.

Services in Redondo Beach, CA

  • Four season sunrooms

    Many families here want a room they'll use every month of the year, and a four season sunroom is built like the rest of the house to do that. We plan the glass, insulation and heating so the room ties into your home instead of feeling like a porch.

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    A lot of backyards here already have a concrete patio right off the kitchen or family room, which makes it the natural spot for a new room. I check whether that slab can carry walls and a roof before we plan on it, because many patios were poured only to be walked on.

  • Deck-to-sunroom conversion

    Raised decks, including second-story decks on the taller houses, are common here where yards are small. We look at the framing and footings under the deck first, since a deck built for people and furniture usually needs added support to hold a room.

  • Patio enclosures

    On a close lot, enclosing the patio you have gives you a sheltered space without taking any more of the yard. We fit the walls and windows to your existing cover and the house so the enclosure looks like it was always there.

  • Patio cover installation

    Some homeowners here want shade and shelter now and a full room later, or simply an open-sided cover. We size and frame the cover with that in mind, so enclosing it down the road stays an option.

  • Sunroom remodeling

    Older sunrooms and enclosures on Redondo Beach houses often have tired windows, leaks where they meet the roof, or a layout nobody uses anymore. We repair or rebuild what's there and keep the parts that are still sound.

Working in Redondo Beach: permits, licenses and what sets the price

For a sunroom in Redondo Beach, the permit runs through the city's Building Division, which issues permits for private property, reviews the plans and handles the inspections, and you can call it at (310) 318-0636. The plan review sets when we can start, and inspections have to happen as the work goes along and before anything is covered up, so the room goes up in stages. Before you hire anyone, check that they hold a California contractor license and a Redondo Beach business license, which the questions below explain. We check with the city about what your job needs and then prepare and file the permit paperwork, and the price mostly comes down to the room's size, the kind of room and what it sits on, all of which I lay out in your written estimate.

Many streets near the water are narrow, with tight driveways and cars parked along the curb, so we plan where materials and trucks will go before the first delivery. If anything has to happen in the street or on the sidewalk, that's a separate permit from the city's Engineering Division, not the Building Division. We do the same work in nearby cities like Lawndale and Inglewood, and each has its own office and its own rules, so we check fresh for every address.

Redondo Beach, CA properties and local conditions

Houses here often sit only a few feet from the neighbors, with the patio or deck tucked between the back wall and the fence. A new room has to fit that space, clear the eaves and look right from next door, so I measure the whole yard and not just the slab, and we plan the roof line and the windows with the neighboring houses in mind.

Plenty of these patios and decks were added years after the house was built, and some were made to hold a grill and a table, not walls and a roof. We check the slab edges and the deck framing before we design anything on top, so if it needs more support, that's in the estimate from the start.

How it works when you call us about a room in Redondo Beach

  1. Call or send a request

    Call (424) 290-8610 or use the form and tell us a little about the patio, deck or room you're thinking about. We'll get back to you to set a visit at a time that suits you.

  2. I come out and measure

    I measure, look closely at the slab or deck the room will sit on, and listen to how you want to use the space, so it helps if you can be home. You then get a written estimate that spells out what's included, and the visit costs you nothing.

  3. We file permits and build

    Once the permit is issued, our own crew builds the room in stages so each inspection happens before anything is closed up. We work only on the days and hours the city allows, which you'll find in the questions below.

  4. We walk the room together

    When the room is finished, we walk through it with you and answer your questions before we call the job done. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pull my own permit for a sunroom in Redondo Beach?

Not if the project is valued at more than $50,000 or involves two or more units, because the city doesn't let homeowners pull the permit for those jobs. Below that, the state only lets you act as your own builder on your principal residence when you've lived there for the 12 months before the work is finished, the work is done before any sale, and you've used that exemption on no more than two structures in three years. When we build the room, we prepare and file the permit paperwork for you.

Does a sunroom in Redondo Beach need planning approval?

Some projects do, depending on their scope, and the city has a page where you can check whether your project needs a Planning permit. A project may also need sign-off from Engineering, the fire department or county agencies, and one that needs land use approval can go to the Planning Commission and sometimes the City Council. We sort out which of these apply when we check with the city before work starts.

Does my sunroom contractor need a Redondo Beach business license?

Yes, the city requires every business working in Redondo Beach to hold a city business license, and every contractor and subcontractor on a job needs a valid one before a permit can be issued. Contractors based outside the city apply for an out-of-city contractor license, so a company from a neighboring city still needs one.

How do I know if a sunroom contractor needs a California license?

A contractor needs a state license from the Contractors State License Board when the job requires a building permit, uses employees, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials across one or more contracts. A larger job can't be split into pieces under $1,000 to get around that rule. We're licensed and fully insured.

What days and hours can construction happen in Redondo Beach?

The city allows construction Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There's no construction on Sundays or on the days Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day are observed, so we plan the build around those.

What causes the cost of a sunroom to go up in Redondo Beach?

The size of the room, the kind of room and what it sits on move the price the most. A four season room with insulated glass and heating takes more work than a screen room or three season room, and a slab or deck that needs added support adds work before the walls go up. Tight access, how the roof joins the house and any extra approvals the city asks for play a part too, which is why I measure first and put your figure in writing.
