Redondo Beach Sunrooms & Patios builds patio-to-sunroom conversions, sunroom additions, and patio enclosures for Inglewood homeowners - including all season rooms and full sunroom construction. We work on the postwar bungalows and ranch homes throughout this city, we understand Inglewood's tight urban lots and older concrete slabs, and we have served the greater LA area since 2020.
Inglewood's postwar bungalows typically have a small concrete patio slab off the back of the house - often underused because it is too hot in summer and too exposed for comfortable outdoor living most of the year. Converting that existing footprint into a proper enclosed sunroom uses the slab you already have as the foundation, which keeps costs lower than a ground-up addition and works well with the building footprints common in this densely developed city. To understand the full process, learn more about patio-to-sunroom conversions.
Inglewood's 1940s and 1950s bungalows have tight floor plans that were designed for a different era - small living rooms, compact kitchens, and no dedicated home office space. Adding a sunroom off the back of the house is one of the most practical ways to expand that footprint without moving, and with Inglewood home values rising sharply in recent years, the investment returns real equity at sale.
Inglewood is a dense city where neighbors sit close together, and an open patio feels exposed in a way that discourages real use. Enclosing the patio with glass panels or insulated walls gives you a private, comfortable outdoor-adjacent space that blocks direct sun, reduces noise from nearby streets, and protects your outdoor furniture from the UV exposure and occasional Santa Ana winds that affect this part of Los Angeles.
Inglewood sits close enough to the coast that it catches the marine layer on cool mornings, but inland enough to get real summer heat during the afternoon. An all season room with proper insulation and a modest HVAC connection handles that range comfortably - useful year-round in a way that an uninsulated porch or screen room is not.
Some Inglewood homes have enclosed porches or older additions that were put in by previous owners without proper permits or insulation. Remodeling that existing structure - replacing aging single-pane windows, addressing subfloor damage from water infiltration, adding insulation, and bringing the electrical up to code - is usually more cost-effective than a full teardown, and it turns a liability into a real asset.
For Inglewood homeowners who want more than an open patio but do not need the full cost of a climate-controlled sunroom addition, an enclosed patio room - with walls and roof but without full HVAC - is a practical middle step. It creates a protected outdoor room that works well for most of the year in Inglewood's mild climate, at a lower cost than a fully conditioned addition.
Most homes in Inglewood were built between the 1940s and early 1960s, making the city's housing stock over 60 years old on average. These postwar bungalows and ranch-style houses have stucco exteriors, small lots, and original systems - roofing, window seals, concrete flatwork, and electrical panels - that are commonly at or past the end of their useful life. At the same time, Inglewood is one of the most densely developed cities in the Los Angeles area, covering under 11 square miles with nearly 109,000 residents. That density means tight access, neighbors close by, and limited backyard square footage - conditions that require careful planning on any exterior project before material gets staged or a crew shows up.
Two climate factors shape how sunroom and enclosure projects perform in Inglewood over time. First, the city sits on clay-heavy soils that expand when wet and contract when dry - and the wet winter, dry summer cycle of the Los Angeles Basin puts steady stress on the older concrete slabs under Inglewood's postwar homes. A patio slab that was poured in 1958 has been through that cycle dozens of times, and assessing its current condition before building on top of it is not optional. Second, Inglewood experiences Santa Ana wind events each fall and winter - hot, dry gusts that can reach 50 mph or more - which can loosen poorly sealed joints, lift roof panels, and accelerate wear on exterior finishes faster than the standard dry-summer UV breakdown that affects the whole region.
Our crew works throughout Inglewood regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and enclosure work here. We pull permits through the City of Inglewood Community Development Department as a standard part of every project in this city, and we know the plan check process and submission requirements the department applies to residential additions and patio enclosures. Getting that permit process right from the first submission - rather than going back and forth with corrections - is one of the things that keeps projects on schedule here.
Inglewood has undergone significant change in recent years. The area around SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park development has drawn major investment to the city, and home values have climbed noticeably as a result. The city's established residential neighborhoods - including Morningside Park on the northeast side, with its wider streets and larger owner-occupied homes - sit alongside denser apartment corridors near downtown and Century Boulevard. Whether your home is near the stadium area or on a quieter block in Morningside Park, the building stock and the lot constraints require the same careful approach.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Culver City to the northwest and Hawthorne to the south - cities with similar postwar housing stocks where we encounter the same slab conditions and permit requirements on a regular basis.
We respond within one business day. We will ask a few basic questions about your project - what you have now, what you want, and a rough sense of your budget - then schedule an on-site visit at a time that works for you.
We visit your Inglewood property, check the existing slab condition, measure the available space, verify setbacks, and walk through your options. You leave with a written proposal with a real number - not a wide range that leaves you guessing about what the actual cost will be.
Once you sign the contract, we submit the permit application to Inglewood Community Development immediately. While the city completes its review - typically two to four weeks - we order materials so that the crew is ready to start the day the permit is in hand, with no added delay.
Construction on most Inglewood projects takes three to seven weeks depending on scope. We schedule required city inspections at each stage, and we walk through the finished room with you before closing out the job - so any punch-list items are handled before we leave your property.

(424) 999-1971Inglewood is a dense, mid-size city of roughly 109,000 residents packed into just under 11 square miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The city sits close to LAX and has been one of the most recognizable parts of the greater LA area for decades - first because of the Kia Forum on Manchester Boulevard, now because of SoFi Stadium and the surrounding Hollywood Park development that has transformed the western part of the city. According to the city's history, Inglewood developed rapidly during the postwar years as a bedroom community for the aerospace and defense workers who lived close to LAX-area employers - which explains why almost all of its residential streets were built in the same 20-year window between 1940 and 1960.
The city's residential neighborhoods vary considerably despite the relatively uniform housing age. Morningside Park, on the northeast side, has some of Inglewood's larger and better-maintained single-family homes on wider, tree-lined streets - owner-occupied properties where residents have invested in upgrades over the years. Other parts of the city near downtown and along Century Boulevard have a higher proportion of apartments and smaller lots. Home values across the city have risen sharply since the stadium development began, making renovation investment significantly more attractive than it was a decade ago. Nearby Carson and Gardena share similar postwar housing characteristics and are also part of our regular service area.
