Every service below is matched to the specific needs of Whittier properties and their owners.
Whittier has a large number of older sunrooms and patio enclosures built in the 1970s and 1980s, many with single-pane aluminum-framed windows that let in far too much heat in summer and too much cold in winter. Our sunroom remodeling service replaces outdated glass, frames, and finishes so your existing space is actually comfortable to use year-round.
Most Whittier ranch homes have a back patio slab already poured, which makes adding a new enclosed sunroom faster and less expensive than starting from bare ground. A well-designed addition gives you usable indoor-outdoor space without eating into the yard you already have.
Whittier summers are long and hot, and the city gets real cold nights in December and January. An all season room is insulated and climate-controlled, so it works as genuine living space regardless of what the weather is doing outside - which matters more here than in coastal cities with milder temperatures.
Whittier's fall Santa Ana winds send debris flying, and an open patio takes the full force of those gusts every year. Enclosing the patio with screened or glass panels protects outdoor furniture and creates a sheltered space you can actually use when the winds come through.
For Whittier homeowners who primarily want to enjoy spring and fall evenings without the cost of a fully climate-controlled room, a three season sunroom with screened panels and vented windows is a practical, lower-cost option that still adds usable space and curb appeal.
Many Whittier homes have covered patios that were added by previous owners without proper permits or structural connections to the main house. We assess the existing structure and either bring it up to code or build a properly permitted enclosed room that connects cleanly to your home.
A large share of Whittier's housing stock dates to the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and that age range matters when you are adding a new room. Rooflines on these homes are typically low-pitch, which creates specific attachment and flashing challenges that do not apply to newer construction. The city's soil conditions also shift with the seasonal wet-dry cycle, and homes near the Friendly Hills area sit on hillside lots where drainage and grading have to be accounted for before any foundation or slab work is done.
Whittier is also seismically active. The city was directly affected by the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, and smaller tremors have continued since then. Any sunroom addition built to current California Building Code must meet seismic requirements that are considerably stricter than what applied when most of the city's homes were originally constructed. Getting a permit is not just a legal formality here - it is the mechanism that ensures the new room is tied to the existing structure in a way that holds up under shaking.
Our crew works throughout Whittier regularly, and the housing stock here is different from the newer Orange County cities in our service area. The majority of jobs we take in Whittier involve homes built between 1945 and 1975, and those properties have characteristics - low rooflines, original concrete slabs, older stucco exteriors - that require different handling than a 1990s or 2000s-era tract home.
Permits for sunroom work in Whittier are pulled through the City of Whittier Community Development Department. Whittier Boulevard and Greenleaf Avenue are the two main corridors we navigate when getting to jobs across the city, and we work in every neighborhood from the streets near Uptown Whittier to the hillside properties in the Friendly Hills area and the homes near the Whittier Narrows on the north end of the city.
We also serve homeowners in nearby La Mirada and La Puente, which share similar housing ages and building conditions with Whittier.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will get back to you within one business day to schedule your free on-site estimate. You do not need to have drawings or a plan ready - just a general idea of what you are hoping to build.
We visit your Whittier property, measure the space, assess your existing roofline and foundation, and give you a written estimate before leaving. There is no cost for the estimate and no obligation to move forward - you will know the full price before any work starts.
We file all required permits with the City of Whittier on your behalf and order materials once the permit is approved. This phase typically runs two to three weeks, and we keep you updated on the permit status throughout.
Construction typically takes two to four weeks on-site. We schedule a final walkthrough with you when the project is complete and the city inspector has signed off, so you can confirm everything meets your expectations before we close out the job.

Whittier is a city of about 87,000 people in Los Angeles County, roughly 12 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The city has its own distinct identity, anchored by Whittier College, the Uptown Whittier historic district, and the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area on the northern edge of the city. The housing stock is predominantly single-family homes built between the 1940s and 1970s, with a mix of flat-lot ranch homes in the central and northern parts of the city and larger custom homes on hillside lots in the Friendly Hills area to the south. About 55% of homes are owner-occupied, and residents here tend to stay put and invest in their properties.
Whittier borders several cities we serve, including La Puente to the north and La Mirada to the southwest. Its location in the southeast San Gabriel Valley puts it at the convergence of Los Angeles and Orange County, and homeowners here benefit from the same Southern California sun that makes outdoor-connected living spaces worth having for most of the year.
