You should be able to sit outside without fighting bugs, dust, and afternoon sun. We install permitted screen rooms in Paramount with aluminum frames built to handle Santa Ana winds and slab assessments before any work starts.
Screen room installation in Paramount involves building an aluminum-framed, fully screened outdoor room attached to your home - most projects run two to five days of on-site construction once permits are approved, with the full timeline from first call to finished room typically four to ten weeks.
A screen room is not the same as a sunroom or a patio cover. It uses mesh screening instead of glass, which means it stays open to the air - cooler than a glass enclosure and less expensive to build - while blocking insects, debris, and a meaningful amount of direct sun. For Paramount homeowners who want shade and bug protection without the cost of a fully enclosed room, it is often the right fit. For those who want full glass walls and climate control, our patio-to-sunroom conversion or patio enclosure services offer a more enclosed solution.
Every screen room installation starts with a slab assessment. Paramount's residential housing stock - mostly built between the 1940s and 1970s - includes a lot of older concrete patios that may have cracked or shifted over the decades. The condition of your slab determines what can be safely anchored to it, and we look at that before agreeing to a price.
Paramount's warm climate means outdoor living is possible for most of the year - but flies, mosquitoes, and gnats make open patios frustrating by dusk. A screen room creates a permanent barrier that lets you sit outside without thinking about insects. You stop going inside after ten minutes and start actually using your outdoor space.
Every fall and early winter, Santa Ana winds blow through the Los Angeles basin carrying dust, leaves, and fine debris that settle on everything. If you are cleaning patio furniture after every wind event or finding a layer of grit on surfaces after a windy night, a screen room keeps that debris out while still letting air circulate. It is a practical fix for a frustration that recurs every year in Paramount.
Many Paramount homes have aluminum patio covers installed in the 1970s and 1980s that are now showing rust, sagging, or gaps where they attach to the house. If your cover looks tired or feels loose when you push on it, a screen room replacement is often more cost-effective than patching it again. A contractor can assess whether the existing structure is worth saving or whether starting fresh makes more sense.
If your home feels cramped but a full sunroom addition is not in the budget, a screen room is one of the most affordable ways to add livable outdoor space. It does not require the insulation, glazing, or climate control of an enclosed room, and it can be designed to feel like a natural extension of your kitchen or living room. Many Paramount homeowners use the finished space as a dining area or a place to work from home on nice days.
We build screen rooms across the range of sizes and configurations - from compact rooms replacing a small back patio cover to larger structures designed to cover an entire outdoor living area. The frame is aluminum, which resists rust and corrosion in Southern California's climate and requires very little maintenance over time. Screening options include standard fiberglass mesh, heavier pet-resistant weaves, and solar-control screening that reduces UV and glare more aggressively.
For homeowners whose needs go beyond a screen room, our patio-to-sunroom conversion service adds glass panels, insulation, and climate control to create a fully enclosed room. Our patio enclosures cover a similar range of options with varying levels of glazing and enclosure. The right choice depends on how you plan to use the space, your budget, and what your existing slab and yard can support.
Best for homeowners who want bug protection and shade while keeping maximum airflow and the open-air feel of an outdoor space.
Suited for those facing south or west who want to reduce afternoon heat and UV exposure while still maintaining ventilation.
Ideal for households with pets or young children who need a contained, safe outdoor space with a heavier, harder-to-damage mesh.
For properties where the existing concrete is too old or compromised to anchor a frame safely, we pour a new slab as part of the installation.
Paramount sits in the southeast Los Angeles basin, where outdoor living is genuinely feasible for most of the year - which means a screen room here gets real, year-round use rather than sitting empty for six months. That also means the screening and frame are exposed to Southern California's UV radiation twelve months a year, not six. UV-resistant screening is not optional here; cheaper mesh fades and weakens faster than most homeowners expect. We specify materials built for this climate, not materials that look good in a showroom and fail after the first summer.
We serve homeowners in Hawthorne and Compton who face the same combination of challenges: older concrete slabs, HOA approval requirements in some neighborhoods, and the need for structures that stay solid when the Santa Ana winds pick up each fall. We assess all of these factors before the first nail goes in, so the finished room is built for this specific yard - not a generic installation from a catalog.
We ask a few basic questions about your yard and what you are hoping to build, then schedule a free on-site visit - usually within a few days. We respond to all inquiries within one business day. During the visit we measure the space, assess your existing slab, and walk through your options before any price is discussed.
Once you agree on a design and sign a contract, we prepare drawings and submit them to the City of Paramount's Building and Safety Division. If your home is in an HOA, that approval runs on a separate parallel timeline. Plan for two to four weeks for permit approval before construction begins. We manage both processes and keep you updated so you are not left wondering what is happening.
Site preparation comes first - clear the work area of furniture, plants, and stored items. If the slab needs repair or a new pour, that happens first and must cure before framing begins. The aluminum frame is anchored to your home and slab, roof panels are installed, and screening panels are stretched and fastened. Most framing work completes in one to two days; screening and doors add another day.
The city schedules a final inspection to confirm the structure was built according to the approved plans. We coordinate this - you typically do not need to be present. Once the inspection passes, we walk through the finished room with you and answer any final questions. The room is ready to use immediately after inspection is complete.
Free estimate. We assess your slab honestly and give you a written quote with no surprises.
Many Paramount homes have older concrete patios that look fine from the surface but are not in good enough shape to anchor a screen room frame properly. We assess your slab during the estimate visit and give you a straight answer before you sign anything. If repair or replacement is needed, that cost is in your estimate - not added as a surprise after the crew shows up.
Santa Ana wind events regularly bring gusts over 50 miles per hour through the Los Angeles basin. A screen room frame that is not properly anchored to the home's structure can shift, warp, or pull away from the wall. We anchor every frame directly into the structural members of your home - not just to the stucco surface - so the room stays solid when the wind picks up.
We handle the full permit process with the City of Paramount from application to final inspection. A permitted screen room is documented, inspected, and on record - which means no problems when you sell, refinance, or file an insurance claim. A contractor who suggests skipping the permit is not saving you time; they are creating a liability that becomes your problem later. See the Aluminum Association for material quality standards.
Southern California's sun fades and weakens cheaper screening faster than homeowners expect. We specify UV-resistant mesh built for twelve months of direct sun exposure, not six. The result is screening that keeps its tension, color, and integrity for years longer than standard fiberglass mesh - reducing the number of times you need to replace panels over the life of the room.
Every screen room we install is permitted, inspected, and built to handle the specific conditions that Paramount homeowners deal with year after year - not just the conditions that show up on a calm day in spring. That is what separates a room you can rely on from one you are calling a contractor about two years later.
For homeowners who want to take the next step beyond a screen room and add glass panels, insulation, and climate control to create a fully enclosed year-round living space.
