Serving Cerritos, CA and surrounding areas. (562) 581-8864
Cerritos Sunrooms and Patios remodels existing sunrooms and builds patio enclosures and custom additions for Anaheim homeowners. We have served Anaheim and the surrounding Orange County cities since 2016, and we work on both the flat ranch homes in central Anaheim and the hillside properties in Anaheim Hills. Every permit is handled through the City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department, from drawings to final inspection. Every inquiry gets a response within one business day.
A lot of Anaheim homes built in the 1960s and 1970s came with basic aluminum-frame sunrooms using single-pane glass - rooms that let in too much heat in summer and too much cold on winter nights. A sunroom remodel on these older structures brings the glazing, sealing, and sometimes the frame itself up to current standards, turning a room that is barely usable in July into one that actually makes sense to spend time in year-round.
Central and west Anaheim ranch homes were built with concrete slab backyards that have been sitting in the sun for 50 to 70 years. Many of those slabs are still structurally usable as a base after a proper inspection, and converting one into a permitted patio enclosure adds an enclosed room to the home without pouring new concrete or altering the existing footprint. The result is a livable space that increases usable square footage within the city's setback requirements.
Anaheim Hills properties sit on sloped lots with retaining walls and drainage features that flat-lot homes in central Anaheim simply do not have. A custom sunroom on a hillside property needs to account for the slope, the drainage direction, and the specific setback requirements that apply to that parcel - and we design around those conditions before the project ever goes to the City of Anaheim for permit review.
Anaheim summers regularly hit the low 90s Fahrenheit and occasionally push past 100 degrees, so a four season sunroom with proper insulated glazing and thermal break framing is not just a comfort upgrade - it is a practical necessity for a room that will actually get used in July and August. Anaheim Hills homeowners in particular benefit from this type of room because hillside properties face more direct sun exposure and stronger wind than the flatland areas below.
Anaheim evenings cool off after sunset, but open patios in this part of Orange County deal with insects in the warmer months that cut outdoor time short. A screen enclosure over an existing backyard slab turns the outdoor space into something you can actually use on a warm evening without concern, and it costs considerably less than a fully glazed patio enclosure for homeowners who do not need full weather protection.
Backyards throughout central and west Anaheim face significant afternoon sun from spring through fall, and an uncovered concrete slab becomes a heat source that makes the yard uncomfortable during peak hours. A solid or lattice patio cover provides immediate relief from direct sun, protects the back of the stucco exterior from UV degradation and cracking, and can serve as the starting structure for a full patio enclosure down the road.
Most of Anaheim's residential development happened between the late 1940s and the 1980s, which means a large share of the city's homes are now 50 to 80 years old. Stucco exteriors are nearly universal across all of Anaheim's housing stock - from the postwar ranch homes in central Anaheim to the two-story houses in Anaheim Hills. Stucco holds up well in Southern California's dry climate, but it develops cracks over the years around windows, doors, and corners, and those cracks matter when a new room attachment is being anchored to the existing wall. Concrete slab foundations are also standard throughout the city, and the expansive clay soils found in parts of Anaheim cause those slabs to shift with seasonal wet-dry cycles. We check slab condition before any design work begins, because a sunroom anchored to a settling slab will show problems at the frame base within a few seasons.
Anaheim summers are long and hot, with sustained temperatures that degrade caulk, sealants, and exterior finishes faster than in cooler parts of Southern California. The Santa Ana wind events that come through every fall and early winter are a real factor for Anaheim Hills properties, where gusts can be stronger than in the flatlands below. Winter rain arrives in bursts between November and March, and any enclosure with poor drainage at the frame base will show water intrusion during the first heavy storm. Building permits for new construction and remodels are issued by the City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department, and we handle the full permit process on every project.
Our crew works throughout Anaheim regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Permits for patio enclosures, screen rooms, and sunroom remodels are processed through the City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department on East Lincoln Avenue, and we manage all drawings, submittals, and required inspections ourselves from start to finish.
Anaheim covers roughly 50 square miles and splits into very distinct areas. Central and west Anaheim, near Disneyland Resort and Angel Stadium, is primarily flat land with postwar tract homes on 6,000 to 7,500 square foot lots - single-story ranch houses with attached garages and stucco exteriors that are now approaching 60 to 70 years old. East Anaheim transitions into the hillside neighborhoods of Anaheim Hills, where larger two-story homes on sloped lots were built mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s. The Platinum Triangle near the stadium has seen significant newer development, but the surrounding residential streets are still largely mid-century stock. The 91 freeway runs through the city as a major east-west corridor, and the 5 freeway cuts through the western portion near the resort district.
We also work regularly in cities that border Anaheim. Buena Park sits directly to the northwest, along the 91 freeway, and has a similar mix of postwar tract homes that we encounter on Anaheim jobs. To the north, La Mirada is another city where we work frequently, and its housing stock has much in common with the western Anaheim neighborhoods.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will get back to you within one business day to schedule a visit. No forms to fill out, no project description required - just let us know you want us to come out.
We come to your property, measure the space, check the slab and wall attachment conditions, and note any slope or drainage considerations - particularly relevant for Anaheim Hills properties. We give you a written fixed-price estimate before we leave, with no open-ended line items or allowances that can grow after the contract is signed.
We prepare and submit all permit drawings to the City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department. Review typically takes three to five weeks, and we handle any plan check responses without pulling you into the process. You will know when permits are approved and the project schedule can start.
Construction typically takes two to four weeks once permits are approved. We schedule and pass all required city inspections, and you receive a completed project with a final inspection approval and no open permit issues on your property record.
We serve all Anaheim neighborhoods, from the ranch homes in central Anaheim to the hillside properties in Anaheim Hills. Written estimates, full permit management, one business day response.
(562) 581-8864Anaheim is one of the largest cities in Orange County, with roughly 350,000 residents spread across about 50 square miles of the northern Orange County basin. The city is widely known as home to Disneyland, which opened in 1955 and transformed the western part of the city into one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world. The Resort District and the area around the Anaheim Convention Center are heavily commercial, but the residential neighborhoods that surround them are quiet and predominantly owner-occupied. Angel Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Angels and one of the oldest active Major League Baseball parks in the country, sits in the Platinum Triangle area near the 57 and 5 freeways. Most of the city's single-family homes were built during the postwar suburban boom of the 1950s through the 1970s - ranch-style tract homes with stucco exteriors, concrete slab foundations, and attached garages on modest lots.
Anaheim Hills is the eastern, hilly section of the city that developed primarily from the 1970s through the 1990s. Homes here tend to be larger and sit on sloped lots with retaining walls, winding streets, and views of the surrounding hills. The housing stock in Anaheim Hills is notably different from the flat flatland neighborhoods in western Anaheim, and it creates different design considerations for any outdoor enclosure project. Nearby, Buena Park to the northwest shares a similar postwar housing character and is another city where we work regularly. To the west along the 91 freeway, La Mirada is another neighboring city with comparable mid-century homes and the same seasonal demand patterns.
