Serving Cerritos, CA and surrounding areas. (562) 581-8864
Cerritos Sunrooms and Patios builds all season rooms, patio enclosures, and custom sunroom additions for Compton homeowners. We have served Compton and the surrounding south LA County cities since 2016, and we manage every permit through the City of Compton from first submittal to final inspection. Every inquiry gets a response within one business day.
Compton summers are hot and dry, and the winters bring enough rain to make an open patio unusable for months at a time. An all season room gives Compton homeowners a fully enclosed, climate-appropriate space that works in July heat and January rain - built on the existing backyard slab without requiring a new foundation or a full room addition.
Most Compton homes from the 1940s through the 1960s were built with a concrete backyard slab, and many of those slabs are still in place - cracked from clay soil movement and sun exposure, but solid enough to build on after a proper assessment. Converting the existing slab into a permitted patio enclosure is a cost-effective way to add a livable room without pouring new concrete or changing the home's footprint.
Lots in Compton tend to be small, often under 6,000 square feet, and many backyards have limited space between the house, the garage, and the back fence. A custom sunroom is designed around the actual setback lines and slab position on your specific property, so the room fits the lot correctly and meets the City of Compton setback requirements without having to redo the design after the permit review.
Compton evenings cool off nicely once the summer heat breaks, and a screen room over an existing slab lets you use the backyard comfortably without insects cutting the evening short. A screen enclosure costs significantly less than a fully glazed room and is a practical option for homeowners who want more usable outdoor space without committing to a larger project right now.
For Compton homeowners who have built equity in a property and want to add real livable square footage, a sunroom addition attached directly to the back of the house is one of the more efficient ways to do it. It adds a bright, usable room filled with natural light, increases the home's appraised value, and avoids the cost and disruption of moving load-bearing walls or reconfiguring interior space.
Compton backyards face direct sun from late morning through the afternoon for most of the year, and an uncovered concrete slab can be too hot to stand on barefoot by midday in summer. A patio cover - solid or lattice - drops the temperature on the surface below, makes the yard usable during peak hours, and can be used as the starting structure for a full enclosure if you decide to upgrade later.
Most homes in Compton were built between the 1940s and 1960s, which makes this one of the older housing stocks in Los Angeles County. Slab foundations are standard - there are no basements and very few crawl spaces in this city. The same expansive clay soils found throughout the LA Basin sit under nearly every property in Compton, and the wet-dry cycle of Southern California winters and summers keeps those soils moving year after year. A slab that looks fine on a dry August morning may show new cracks after the first winter rain. Before any sunroom or enclosure is designed, we assess the slab condition directly - because anchoring a structure to a compromised slab creates problems that show up during the first rainy season.
Compton summers are hot and UV-intense, which degrades caulk, sealants, and exterior finishes faster than in cooler climates. Wildfire smoke from the surrounding LA Basin foothills is a seasonal reality that affects attic vents and any unsealed gaps in an enclosure. The city is served by the Metro A Line and sits near the 710, 91, and 105 freeways, so logistics for material delivery and crew access are straightforward from our base in Cerritos. All permits for construction work in Compton go through the City of Compton, and we know the building department, what their plan checkers require, and how to get a permit through review without correction delays.
Our crew works throughout Compton regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Permits for sunroom additions and patio enclosures are processed through the City of Compton building department on Willowbrook Avenue, and we handle every submission and inspection ourselves so you never have to navigate the permit process on your own.
The homes we encounter most in Compton are one-story bungalow and ranch-style houses built in the postwar decades, with stucco exteriors and concrete slab foundations on small to mid-size lots. Many properties sit in neighborhoods along Central Avenue or near Compton Creek, the channelized waterway that runs through the western part of the city and drains into the Los Angeles River. The 91 freeway marks the southern boundary of the city and is a familiar reference point for most residents. The mix of single-family homes, duplexes, and small apartment buildings along corridors like Alameda Street means we work on both owner-occupied properties and rental units throughout the city.
Compton borders several cities where we also work regularly. Directly to the west, Paramount has a nearly identical housing profile and the same postwar construction patterns. To the south, Long Beach is a city where we regularly build screen rooms and enclosed patios for homeowners just a few miles down the 710.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will respond within one business day. We schedule a free in-home visit at a time that works with your schedule - no commitment required.
We come out, measure the space, check the slab condition, and review your setbacks and any HOA requirements. The estimate we hand you is a written fixed price - no add-ons later for things we should have seen on the visit.
We prepare all drawings and submit the permit application to the City of Compton. Review typically takes three to five weeks. We track the application, handle any plan check corrections, and notify you when permits are ready.
Once permits are issued, most Compton projects take two to four weeks to build. We schedule and pass all city inspections and hand you a fully permitted, completed room with the permit record closed out.
We serve all of Compton, manage every permit through the city, and give you a written price after a free in-home visit. No guesses, no surprises.
(562) 581-8864Compton is a densely populated city in the southern part of Los Angeles County, home to roughly 95,000 to 97,000 residents within about 10 square miles. The city is fully built out - there is very little undeveloped land left - and the housing stock is predominantly postwar construction from the 1940s through the 1960s. Most single-family homes are one-story bungalow or ranch-style houses on small lots with concrete driveways, stucco exteriors, and slab foundations. Compton sits near the intersection of three major freeways - the 710, 91, and 105 - and is served by the Metro A Line, which gives residents direct rail access to downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach. The city is bordered by Lynwood and South Gate to the north, Carson to the west, and Paramount to the northwest.
About 40 to 45 percent of Compton households are owner-occupied, and those homeowners have a long-term stake in maintaining and improving their properties. The Compton Courthouse on Acacia Avenue is a city center landmark familiar to most residents, and Compton City Hall on Willowbrook Avenue is where residents and contractors deal with permits and city services. Compton Creek runs through the western part of the city - a channelized waterway that drains into the Los Angeles River and is the focus of ongoing local environmental projects. The housing stock throughout most of the city is consistent in character, which means a contractor who has worked here knows what to expect on a typical Compton property before arriving on site. Neighboring Paramount to the northwest and Long Beach to the south are cities with comparable housing profiles where we also work regularly.
