About Compton, CA

Compton is a short drive north of us in Long Beach, and the calls we get here sound a lot like the ones from Lynwood and Paramount right next door. Most come from homeowners with a back patio or deck that bakes in the afternoon and mostly sits empty.

Most of the houses we work on here are single-story homes on flat, regular lots, many of them older, with stucco walls, low eaves and a slab or wood deck out back. That shapes the job in two ways. A low roofline limits how a new roof can tie in, so pitch and headroom get settled early, and an older slab or deck has to show it can carry a room before we build anything on it.

Services in Compton, CA

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    A lot of Compton backyards have a concrete patio right off the back door that gets full sun and very little use. We check whether that slab can carry walls and a roof, then close it in as a real room tied to your house.

  • Deck-to-sunroom conversion

    Older wood decks here were usually built for chairs and a grill, not for walls and a roof. Our deck-to-sunroom conversion work starts with the framing and footings underneath, and we shore up or rebuild what won't carry the room before anything goes on top.

  • Patio enclosures

    If you already have a solid patio cover, closing in the sides can be the quickest way to a usable room. We check the posts and beam first, because a cover built for shade isn't always built to hold windows.

  • Sunroom additions

    On a single-story house with a plain back wall, an addition is the straightforward way to get another room without touching the layout inside. We tie the new roof into your existing eaves and match the stucco or siding so it reads as part of the house.

  • Screen room installation

    A screen room suits the mild weather here and keeps the bugs out on summer evenings without the cost of glass. When your slab is sound we build right on it, so there's less base work before the room goes up.

  • Patio cover installation

    When the sun is the real problem and you'd rather keep the yard open, a cover is often all a Compton patio needs. We size it to your roofline so it sheds water and shades the hours you actually sit out there.

Permits, licenses and what sets the price in Compton

When a sunroom here needs a permit, it comes from the city's Building and Safety department, and that office handles permits in person only. We pull the permit and take care of that paperwork, but because every step happens at the counter, I build the trips into the schedule rather than pretending it moves faster. Before you hire anyone in Compton, check two things about them, their California contractor's license and a current City of Compton business license, and I go into both in the questions below.

Compton runs much like our other nearby cities, Signal Hill included, in that the price comes down to a few things. The size of the room matters, and so does whether it's a three-season room or a fully insulated four-season one, whether your slab or deck can carry it as it is, and how much work the roof tie-in takes on your house. The schedule turns mostly on the permit counter and on how long the windows and panels take to come in, and your own number comes in the written estimate after I've measured.

Compton, CA properties and local conditions

The nearest weather record is Long Beach's, which averages about 12 inches of rain a year over roughly 35 days, with August averaging 74°F and December 57°F. For a room here, that means heat and glare matter more than cold, so a west-facing room full of glass can feel like an oven by late afternoon. We plan for that with solid roof panels, shading and windows that open, rather than leaning on heating.

Most patios we see here were poured as patios, not as the base for a room, and plenty have settled or cracked over the years. That's why I look at the slab and the back wall at the first visit, so if the room needs new footings you know it before you get a price, not halfway through the build.

Get a free on-site sunroom estimate in Compton

We reply within one business day of your request, and there's no pressure and no obligation. I'll come out to your Compton home myself, measure and go over your options with you, and then you get a written estimate for the room we talked about.

What happens after you call us about a Compton sunroom

  1. Call or send a request

    Call (562) 200-7450 or fill out the form and tell us a little about your patio, deck or back wall. We'll set a time for me to come out.

  2. I measure and talk options

    I measure and look at the slab or deck and the wall the room will join, so it helps if you're home to work through the big choices with me on the spot. Then you get a written estimate that spells out the room we talked about, so you know what you're buying before you say yes.

  3. We take the permit in

    When the job needs a permit, we put the paperwork together and take it to the city's counter ourselves. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed every Friday, so we plan those trips around it.

  4. Our crew builds your room

    Our crew lead and installers build the room from the plan we agreed on, and I check in on the job as it goes. That way you've got one person to ask whenever a question comes up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a sunroom permit in Compton, and can I apply online?

You apply in person, because Compton's permit process doesn't take online submittals or payments. The city lets a short list of simpler jobs start online, such as a like-for-like window replacement, a water heater change-out or a re-roof, and even those are issued and paid at the counter. When your sunroom needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork, so the counter trips are ours.

Does my sunroom contractor need a City of Compton business license?

Yes, Compton requires everyone doing business inside city limits to hold a business license and renew it every year. Every permit application also requires the applicant to hold a current one, so a contractor without it can't pull your permit. Ask to see it along with their state license.

When does a contractor need a California license to build a sunroom?

A contractor needs a state license whenever the job needs a building permit, uses employees, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A sunroom crosses that line on almost every job, so look up anyone you're thinking of hiring with the Contractors State License Board. We're fully licensed and insured.

How much does a sunroom cost in Compton?

The price of a sunroom in Compton depends mostly on its size, the type of room and what your base needs, and you get your own number in a written estimate after I've measured. The biggest swing I see here is the base, because a sound slab keeps the cost down while a cracked slab or a tired deck needs work before the room goes up. Glass, insulation and how the roof ties into your house come next.

What causes extra steps on a sunroom permit in Compton?

A lot inside a state-mapped seismic hazard zone can add steps, because whoever builds there may be required to investigate the hazard and deal with it during permitting. The state geological survey has mapped zones for liquefaction, where loose, wet soil can act like liquid in a quake, and for surface fault rupture that cross parts of the city's planning area. Ask the city whether your lot falls in one, and if it does, I'll want to know before we design the base.

Is a three-season sunroom enough in Compton, or do I need a four-season room?

For most Compton homes a three-season room is the one I'd point you to, because the mild weather here rarely calls for a fully insulated room. A four-season room makes sense when you want it heated and cooled like the rest of the house, say as an office or a bedroom, and it costs more for the insulated glass and walls.
