Redondo Beach Sunrooms & Patios builds custom sunrooms, four season rooms, and patio enclosures for homeowners throughout Manhattan Beach - from the Sand Section near The Strand to the Hill Section. We understand the tight lots, the salt air, and the Manhattan Beach Building and Safety Division permit process, and we have been building in the South Bay since 2020.
Manhattan Beach has a wildly varied housing stock - a 1930s stucco bungalow in the Sand Section sits on a completely different structural footing than a three-story custom build on the Hill. A custom sunroom is designed from scratch around your specific home, lot, and roofline, so the finished room looks like it was always there. Learn more about custom sunrooms.
Manhattan Beach sits directly on the Pacific, and the morning marine layer keeps the air cool and damp well into summer. A four season room is fully insulated and tied into your home's heating and cooling, so you can use it for morning coffee in June just as comfortably as on a warm October afternoon - and it handles the salt air exposure that shorter-lived structures cannot.
On Manhattan Beach lots where every square foot matters, converting an existing covered patio into a fully enclosed room is often faster and more affordable than a ground-up addition. Enclosures protect you from the onshore breeze that makes so many Manhattan Beach patios uncomfortable by late afternoon, and they hold up better in a salt air environment than open-air structures.
Moving to a larger home in Manhattan Beach means a significant price jump - median values sit well above $3 million. A sunroom addition lets you add real livable square footage to your current home without the disruption of relocation, and in this market a well-built, permitted addition adds genuine resale value that buyers recognize.
For Manhattan Beach homeowners who want a low-maintenance option that stands up to daily salt air exposure, vinyl-framed sunrooms are a strong choice. Unlike bare aluminum, vinyl does not corrode from coastal moisture, which matters when your home is within a few blocks of the Pacific and the marine layer settles in every morning.
Manhattan Beach homes with usable outdoor space on a tight lot sometimes benefit from a screen room as a first step - it blocks the coastal wind and keeps the outdoor feel while costing less than a fully glazed enclosure. For Sand Section homes where every inch of outdoor space is valuable, a well-built screen room extends your effective living area without requiring a full permit-intensive addition.
Manhattan Beach is one of the most compact, densely built beach cities in Southern California. Lots in the Sand Section run as narrow as 27 feet wide, homes are built close to property lines, and there is very little staging room for a construction crew. A contractor who works primarily in suburban inland cities will underestimate what it takes to work efficiently here. Access for materials is tighter, setback rules are more constraining, and the permit review queue at the city building department moves on its own schedule. Getting this work done right in Manhattan Beach requires experience doing it in Manhattan Beach.
Salt air is the other constant. The Pacific is within walking distance of nearly every home in the city, and the marine layer - the low coastal fog that settles in from May through August and beyond - keeps exterior surfaces damp for hours each morning. Standard aluminum window frames and basic exterior sealants that perform fine in Torrance or Hawthorne corrode and fail significantly faster here. Material selection for a coastal-exposure sunroom is not a detail to leave to chance. Fiberglass or properly coated marine-grade aluminum framing, low-e insulated glass, and sealed penetrations are the baseline for a room that performs well for more than a few years.
Our crew works throughout Manhattan Beach regularly, and we pull permits from the Manhattan Beach Building and Safety Division on a routine basis. We know the difference between working on a 1940s bungalow in the Sand Section - where the framing may be older than the current owner - and a three-story new build on the Hill with rooftop deck access and modern structural systems. Those are not the same job, and treating them the same way produces poor results.
Manhattan Beach is a small city - under four square miles - but the neighborhoods each have a distinct character. The Sand Section runs from The Strand to Sepulveda Boulevard and is the most tightly packed, with homes on narrow lots built as close together as city code allows. The Tree Section, named for the mature trees lining streets like Pine and Laurel, has a slightly different feel - more mix of old and new, somewhat larger lots in places. The Hill Section rises to the east and tends to have larger, newer custom homes with more buildable area per lot. We ask about your specific block and property type from the first conversation, because the right approach on the Hill is often different from what works in the Sand Section.
We also regularly serve neighboring El Segundo to the north and Hermosa Beach to the south - two neighboring cities where the coastal conditions and homeowner expectations are similar enough that our Manhattan Beach experience transfers directly.
We respond within 1 business day. You describe your space and goals, and we ask a few quick questions - including whether you have an HOA - before scheduling a visit. No commitment at this stage.
We come to your Manhattan Beach home, measure the space, check setbacks for your specific lot, and talk through design options. You get a written proposal with a clear price and timeline - no vague estimates or cost surprises later. We address what the project will cost in this conversation, not after you commit.
Once you sign, we submit the permit application to the City of Manhattan Beach immediately. We order materials and schedule the crew during the permit review window - typically three to six weeks - so there is no idle time once the permit issues.
The crew arrives on schedule, works efficiently within the constraints of your Manhattan Beach lot, and keeps the site clean each day. City inspections happen at key stages - you do not need to be present for inspections, but we keep you updated on the timeline and any decisions that need your input.
We serve all of Manhattan Beach - Sand Section, Tree Section, and the Hill. Free estimates, no pressure.
(424) 999-1971Manhattan Beach covers just under four square miles along the Pacific Ocean in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County, with a population of around 35,000. The city is organized into three neighborhoods that locals refer to by name: the Sand Section, which runs from The Strand beach path inland to Sepulveda Boulevard and contains the most tightly packed homes on the narrowest lots; the Tree Section in the middle, named for its mature street trees and characterized by a mix of original bungalows and newer construction; and the Hill Section to the east, where lots are larger and newer custom homes dominate. The iconic Manhattan Beach Pier anchors the foot of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and serves as the city's most recognizable landmark.
The housing stock is a direct reflection of the city's growth over the past century. Original beach cottages from the 1920s and 1930s still exist in the Sand Section, often sitting next to three-story custom homes built in the last decade on the same 27-foot-wide lot footprint. Most homes are single-family and owner-occupied - a notable figure given how expensive the city has become, with median home values well above $3 million. Manhattan Beach is also known as a center for professional beach volleyball, hosting the AVP Manhattan Beach Open tournament each summer at the pier. We also serve homeowners in neighboring Hermosa Beach and El Segundo, two beach cities with similar coastal conditions and homeowner expectations.
