About Paramount, CA

Paramount is a small, busy city between Long Beach, Compton, Downey and Bellflower, with industrial blocks along its edges and streets of single-family houses filling in between. Most of the homes we walk into here are single-story and built close to their neighbors, and a lot of them have been added onto at least once by an earlier owner.

That shapes the job before anything else. With little yard to spare, the room usually goes where the patio already is, so the slab, the old cover and the back wall decide more about the design than any catalog does.

Services in Paramount, CA

  • Patio-to-sunroom conversion

    A lot of Paramount backyards already have a concrete patio right off the kitchen or family room, and that's usually the best spot for a room because there's little yard to give up. We frame walls on it, set the windows and doors and tie a new roof into the house, so you gain a room without losing more of your yard.

  • Patio cover installation

    Plenty of houses here still have a tired aluminum cover over the back patio, sagging in the middle or rusted at the posts. We take it down and put up a new cover attached properly to the house, sized so it can be closed in later if you decide you want a room.

  • Custom sunrooms

    Lots in Paramount run narrow, and many houses have an odd jog or an earlier addition out back, so a stock kit often won't fit the space you've got. Our custom sunrooms are drawn to your footprint and roofline, and I make sure the crew builds the room we drew.

  • Screen room installation

    Some homeowners here just want to sit out back without the bugs and don't need glass or a room they can heat. A screen room under a solid cover is the simplest way to get that, and it's the one I'll point you to when it fits how you'll use the space.

  • Four season sunrooms

    Bedrooms are tight in a lot of Paramount houses, so people often want the new room to work as an office, a playroom or a spare bedroom. A four season room with insulated walls, an insulated roof and real windows is the one built for that, and we plan the wiring and the doorway from the house so it feels like part of the home.

  • Sunroom remodeling

    We also come across older sunrooms and enclosed patios that leak where the roof meets the house or have windows that don't close well anymore. I'll tell you plainly whether a remodel saves the room or whether rebuilding makes more sense, and we do the one you pick.

Working in Paramount: permits, licenses and price

Permit questions for a sunroom here go to the City of Paramount. When your room needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork with the city, so the start date mostly waits on that review and then on materials. Before anyone bids on your room, ask for their California contractor's license, and the questions below cover when the state requires one. We're fully licensed and insured.

What moves the price is mostly what's already out back. A slab that can carry walls costs less to build on than one that needs new footings, and a glass room with an insulated roof costs more than a screen room under an open cover, while size, how the roof ties into your house and any wiring for lights or a fan add to it. The written estimate after my visit puts your own number on all of that. We're a sunroom contractor based in Long Beach, CA, our crew is a short drive from Paramount, and we do the same work in nearby Lakewood.

Paramount, CA properties and local conditions

The patio slab behind a lot of Paramount houses was poured for a table and a grill, not for walls and a roof. Before we design around one, I check the edges for thickness and cracks, and if it can't carry the load, we add footings under the new walls instead of tearing out a slab you'd rather keep.

Back walls here have often been opened up or added onto by an earlier owner, so stucco patches, an old window turned into a door or an outlet nobody remembers adding tend to show up once we start. I look hard at the wall the room will join, because that's where the roof ties in and where most surprises come from. Anything I can't see until the wall is open, I tell you about before we go further.

What happens after you call us about a Paramount sunroom

  1. Call or send a request

    Reach us by phone or the form, and we'll set a time for me to come out to your house. Tell us roughly what you have out back now, a slab, a deck or just a wall, so I come prepared.

  2. I measure and check everything

    I measure, look at the base and the wall the room will join, and we work through the big choices right there, so you aren't left guessing about cost. You'll want to be home for this, since most of the decisions get made standing on the patio.

  3. Written estimate and permit paperwork

    You get a written estimate that spells out the room we talked about. When the job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork with the city before the crew starts.

  4. Our crew builds the room

    Our crew lead and installers do the build, and I check in as it goes to make sure it matches the plan. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a sunroom cost in Paramount, CA?

There's no one price, because the room is built around your slab, your back wall and the choices you make, and I'd rather give you a real number than a guess. The main things that move it are covered above. Once I've measured, you get a written estimate that spells out the room we talked about, so you know what you're paying for before you say yes.

Does my sunroom contractor need a California license?

Almost certainly, yes. California requires a current license from the Contractors State License Board for anyone who contracts for work that needs a building permit, uses workers or employees, or takes on a job worth $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials. Contractors, subcontractors and home improvement contractors also have to be licensed before they submit a bid, so ask for the license when you get the estimate, not after.

Can a handyman enclose my patio without a license in California?

Only if the whole job is under $1,000, needs no building permit and the handyperson doesn't hire anyone to help. That $1,000 counts labor, materials and every other cost across all the contracts on the project, and the state doesn't allow a bigger job to be split into smaller pieces to get under it. A patio enclosure usually runs well past that line, so it calls for a licensed contractor.

How do I check if my Paramount house is in an earthquake hazard zone?

Type your address into the state's EQ Zapp tool, which shows whether the property sits inside any mapped earthquake hazard zone. The state's hazard zone requirements don't apply to a single-family frame house of up to two stories that isn't part of a development of four or more units. Local agencies can be stricter than the state, though, so if your lot comes up in a zone, it's worth asking the city whether a local rule applies.

Does Paramount have its own changes to the California building code?

Yes. A Paramount ordinance amending part of the current California building code is on file with the state, so the rules here can differ from the state's standard text. The city is the place to ask which version is in force, and we build your room to what the city requires.

What is the best way to turn a patio into a sunroom in Paramount?

Pick the room for how you'll use it, then make sure the base and the back wall can carry it. If you want a covered place to sit with the bugs kept out, a screen room or three season room is usually the simpler path, and if you want an office or a spare bedroom, a four season room with an insulated roof and real windows is the one to build. I'll tell you at the first visit which one your patio can take and what it would need.
