Your aging patio enclosure or drafty porch can become a comfortable, permitted room your family uses every day. We handle the design, permits, and construction from start to finish.
Sunroom remodeling in Lakewood, CA means transforming an existing enclosed space - a porch, patio cover, or aging addition - into a comfortable, permitted room with proper walls, windows, and finishes, with most projects taking two to four weeks of active construction once permits are approved.
Many Lakewood homeowners have a porch or enclosure added decades ago that was never updated - or never permitted. A remodel is the opportunity to fix both problems at once. If you want to take the space further, we can incorporate full climate control and upgraded framing through a screen room installation, or we can work through every detail of the finished look first with a dedicated sunroom design process.
Every remodel we complete in Lakewood is fully permitted through the City of Lakewood's Community Development Department. That means the work is on record, the inspector has verified it, and the square footage counts when you sell or refinance.
If your existing porch or back enclosure sits empty most afternoons because of the heat, that space is not working for you. Lakewood's intense afternoon sun makes lightly enclosed spaces genuinely uncomfortable for much of the year. A remodeled sunroom with proper heat-blocking glass turns that same space into a room you can use on a hot August day.
Many Lakewood homes have aluminum-framed patio covers or screen enclosures added in the 1960s and 70s that are now showing their age. If your enclosed porch has rattling single-pane windows, a ceiling that leaks when it rains, or a floor that feels soft underfoot, it needs a proper remodel - not another patch job.
Lakewood's original homes typically range from 950 to 1,200 square feet - comfortable for a couple but cramped for a growing family or anyone working from home. If you need a quiet home office, a space for the kids, or a casual room for guests, a sunroom remodel is one of the most cost-effective ways to add that square footage without a full addition.
Unpermitted structures are common in older Lakewood neighborhoods and can create real problems when you sell. If your existing patio enclosure was never permitted, a sunroom remodel is the opportunity to bring the space up to code, get it properly inspected, and add it to your home's official square footage - which can affect your asking price.
The right remodel depends on what you are starting with and what you want to end up with. For homeowners with a basic porch or aging screen enclosure, we build out the walls, upgrade to proper glazing, and add insulation to create a room that functions comfortably for most of the year. If you already have a partial enclosure that just needs modernizing, a screen room installation update - new framing, new screen panels, and a proper roof - is sometimes the faster and more affordable path.
For homeowners who want to think carefully about how the finished room looks before committing, we offer a dedicated sunroom design process that covers roofline matching, window selection, floor materials, and how the addition connects to your existing exterior. Getting the design right before construction begins prevents costly changes mid-project and results in a room that looks like it was always part of the house.
Best for homeowners with an aging or unpermitted enclosure who want a properly built, permitted room from walls to windows.
Ideal when the existing structure is sound but the screen panels, framing, or door hardware need full replacement.
For homeowners with a patio enclosure that was never permitted - we assess the existing work, bring it up to code, and get it on the official record.
For homeowners who want to be deliberate about how the finished room looks and connects to the existing house before any work begins.
Lakewood was built almost entirely between 1950 and 1954, which means a large share of the city's homes have original patio covers, screen enclosures, or informal additions that are now 70-plus years old. Many were put up without permits - common practice in that era - and are now at the end of their useful life. A sunroom remodel addresses both the age and the permit gap at once, giving homeowners a comfortable room that is also a legal, documented part of their home.
The sun intensity here also drives remodeling decisions. Lakewood averages over 280 sunny days per year, and without proper heat-blocking glass a remodeled sunroom can be just as uncomfortable as the porch it replaced. We work with homeowners across Downey and Bellflower as well - neighboring cities with the same mid-century housing stock and similar permit requirements - so we understand how these projects run in this part of Los Angeles County.

We visit your Lakewood home, measure the space, and check the condition of your existing structure - the slab, framing, and any HOA restrictions visible from the property. You leave with a clear sense of what is possible and what it will cost.
Once you approve the proposal and sign a contract, we submit the permit application to the City of Lakewood's Community Development Department. Permit review typically takes one to three weeks - use this time to finalize flooring, window style, and finishes so there are no delays once construction starts.
Work begins with framing, window installation, roofing, and electrical if needed. A city inspector verifies the work at key stages and again at completion. We walk through the finished room with you and address any punch-list items before the job is done.
Tell us about your existing space and what you want from it. We visit your property, assess the structure honestly, and give you a written quote. Permits, design, and construction are all handled by us - no surprises.
(562) 581-8957We manage every step through the City of Lakewood's Community Development Department, from the permit application to the final inspection sign-off. Your remodeled sunroom becomes a documented, legal part of your home - not a liability on a future sale or refinance.
We specify heat-blocking glass designed for Southern California's sun intensity. A room with the wrong glass turns into an oven by mid-morning from May through September - the right glazing is what makes your remodel genuinely usable year-round, not just on overcast days.
Most Lakewood homes were built between 1950 and 1954 as part of one of the largest planned communities in U.S. history. We know these original slab types, wall constructions, and rooflines - and we assess existing structures honestly before committing to any design.
Lakewood sits in seismically active Southern California, and any addition must be framed and anchored to handle ground movement. Every remodel we build meets California's structural requirements - verified by a city inspector before final sign-off.
When choosing a remodeling contractor, verify their California license on the California Contractors State License Board website and confirm they will pull permits in their own name.

Those two things together are what protect your home and your investment.
